Washington, D. C, Jan. 16. (Unit
ed Press) President Wilson is the
oldest executive to preside over the
destinies of the United States for the
lant GO years. When he is inaugurated
for the second time March 5 he will
lie sixty years old, a span of years
that no president has crossed since
the inauguration of Buchanan in 1857.
Incidentally the president is one of
the six oldest executives ever in the
Wnite House. Previous to 1801 the
men chosen to hold the reins of gov
ernment generally reached a late per
iod in life before their election. John
Adams was 111 when inaugurated in
1707, Jackson also was (51 when first
inaugurated in 1829. Benjamin was
the oldest man ever chosen for the
presidency, being (!8 at the time of his
inauguration in 1841. Taylor was tvl
and Uunchaiutn (i5, respectively, when j
'they were inaugurated respectively, j
Aside from these all presidents have

Something New In Life
Insurance
A NEW Disability Clause issued on January 1st, 1917, by THE
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, guarantees in event of
total permanent disability an Annual Income of 10 per cent, of the
face of the policy FOR LIFE, and the FULL FACE of the Policy
AT DEATH. For instance on a $10,000.00 Life Policv under this
provision premiums cease and $1,000.00 is GUARANTEED annually
during the life time of the Insured, and $10,000.00 at death. The
privilege is limited to $25,000.00 and is not retroactive. FULL PAR
TICULARS ON REQUEST.
MARVELOUS DIVIDEND ACHIEVEMENTS.
In addition to the above it is well to remember that the constant aird
of THE MUTUAL LIFE is to render insurance of the greatest secur
ity at a minimum cost. Not necessarily at a rate under all other
companies but at a cost so very low that the benefits of the OLDEST
and STRONGEST Company can be within the reach of all. It is a
matter of record that its ANNUAL DIVIDENDS on all premium
policies, 3 per cent reserve, nre the largest.
CHOOSING A COMPANY AND THE BEST PLAN.
I have been in the insurance business for a long time, over twenty
years in fact, and during this time I have sold more than four mil
lion dollars worth of insurance and as a result I have accumulated a
great deal of experience, and my business is to put this experience at
the disposal of my clients so that they might not have to make over
again the experiments which I have made, or to learn by their own
experience, the lessons which I have learned for them.
If YOU contemplate negotiating for Life Insurance I shall b- pleased
!V-Ve JVTUn"it.cTe,w mc on the 8ubJcct. before taking any action
in this YOUR Most Important Investment. I may be able to sug
