SIXTY -TWO MILLIONS
THIS "WAS THE PRODL'CT OF THE
PEXX 3IUTUAL LAST YEAR.

in Force The Percentage of Lnpe
Much LetiM Than the Average of
Other CompnnlcK Marked Economy
of Management Uunilsomc Gains
in Surplus and Dividends to Mem
ber. In referring to the progress made last
year by the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company, of Philadelphia, President
Harry F. West, of that company, says:
"1901 was our largest year thus far," with
an accent on "thua far," and a twinkle
in his eyes which indicated that he was
determined 1S02 should eclipse IL "But
how could we help It?" he went on. mod
estly. "You know it was a year of unex
ampled prosperity. AH of our neighbors,
friends and competitors did well; some of
them superbly; and while we have with
our sixty-two millions of new business
outstripped many of them, we try not to
be too Jubilant."
"Firct of all, perhaps, nothing has so
much counted for our-succcss as the gen
eral business conditions. With the excep
tion of a brief period following the death
of our martyred President, nothing has
resisted the gainful, onward trend. The
year encouraged every one to work, and
work his best for the reward was sure.
Next, we are 'confident that our company
has peculiarly strong claims upon the in
juring public. We arc nearly 55 years old,
and not only have the experience of those
years as our guide and Inspiration, but
we have the accumulated force of those
years. The Penn Mutual Is known and
rcsDOCtcd r.K an nrtrnnltrntlnti if tnnmliors
for members, conducted by members. Our J
appeal Is made to thop-s who, recognizing
the duty of insuring their lives, arc yet
prudent enough to keep the corporation
under their own control, and -ho insist
upon knowing and supervising details' of
management."
"Our lower rates have undoubtedly been
a favorable factor. We keep expenses at
a minimum, make as careful selection of
risks as popslble, and then get the best
rate of Interest wo can consistent with
secure Investments.
"Our financial department last year was
conducted practically upon the same lines
as heretofore. Purchases and sales of se
curities were made for the purpose of
keeping our investments up to the high,
est possible standard of excellence. We
earned $240,056 in exceos of our interest
requirements'."
"While our business can no longer be
considered local to Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania, of course, where we are
best known the product is largest. In
Pennsylvania last year we Issued over
fourteen millions, of which more thin
half was In this city. We hnve well
established agencies in 40 states, thus
giving us a widely distributed member
ship and avoiding any great hazard irom
epidemics. Our Southern business has
been large and satisfactory. We hid
splendid returns from Georgia. North
Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana and
Texas. Our Pacific Coast business is
growing rapidly. Our hold on New Eng
land, where we hive twenty-six millions
in force, becomes stronger year by year.
We have abundant reason to feel grati
fied with the year's work."
An examination of the 54th annual re
port of the Penn Mutual proves that the
company is developing on safe lines,
showing an entirely heilthy growth, al
most marvelous In Its proportions, but
still consistent with just progress, be
cause all the proper limitations and
safeguards of the business have been
fully observed. One feature arresLs im
mediate attention. The volume of In
surance in force has increased from
?210,000.000 to 12.051,GC2, which proves
that the Penn Mutual gained 63 per cent
of the total net amount issued, showing
that it required but 37 per cent of net
new business to replace all expirations by
death, maturity of endowments, surren
der, etc A, little calculation shows the
total decrement during the year was less
than 9 per cent of the amount in force at
the beginning, which spoiks strongly for
tho persistence of the membership,
which, of course, largely depends upon
their satisfaction with their company
The total mortality of 729 lives holding
SSS policies for $2,756,251 25, Is well within
the provision therefor. On this point the
records disclose that the average mor
tality for the past five years was but 72
per cent of the expected, the savings
thus effected reaching upward of three
and a hilf million dollars, which sum was
added to the dividends to policy holders.
The payments by the company "for sur
render values to those who discontinued
their insurance reached the sum of 1795 -031
17.
Tho Penn Mutual has for many years
been noted for the liberal treatment ac
corded policy-holders who, through mis
fortune or otherwise, withdrew from the
company; and Its example has excited
emulation that has served greatly to in
crease the popularity of life Insurance.
The expense of management of the Penn
Mutual compared with other institutions
of like character is exceedingly favor
able. Nothing could be more conclusive as to
ability and integrity of management than
an increase In surplus. This Is the su
preme test. Under such circumstances
the medical selection has been contin
uously cautious and thorough; expenses
have been kept below the provision for
them contained in the premiums collect
ed; investments have produced more than
an adequate interest return, and their
value much exceeds their cost. The Penn
Mutual has an extensive arid enviable
record as a payer of large dividends, an
nually returning to members very large
sums thus saved for them. The dividend
of 1901 abated from premiums or accumu
lated reached the sum of $1,017,953 96. The
assets are now J4S.G79.021 54, and the gen
eral surplus 6 176.610 90.

Will You Spend a Penny
For a Sick Friend ?
Here Is my proposition: I have written the six hooks
shown below. I want no money. I simply desire the priv
ilege of sending the book needed to some one "who Is not well;
I will do more. To prove my faith in my newly found princi
ples of curing the sick, I'll send you an order on your nearest
druggist for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. I will let
you or your friend take it for a month; and if it succeeds he
will charge you 5.50 for IL If It falls your druggist will send
the bill to me. I will tell him to trust to your honesty, leav
ing the decision to you. Yon will know then what my Re
storative can do. My Restorative will gain your good will and
indorsement under such a trial.
No physician ever has nor ever will, I believe, make an
offer like this my remedy is the only prescription yet found
to stand a test like this.
And I do exactly as here stated. No catch. No deceit. You
deal with your own druggist, who may be your neighbor, and
a stranger to me. The plan protects you absolutely.
You will see this offer published in every high-class mag
azine and widely circulated paper in America, and here lies tho
proof of my success. My records show that 39 cut of each 40
who accepted the six bottles paid for them. They paid because
they were cured there are 39 chances in 40 that I can cure
you. Is not this a remarkable offer? Is not the record of
cures even more remarkable? I fail sometimes, but not often.
A few of these diseases arise from causes like cancer, for which,
as yet, no man knows a cure.
And how do I accomplish this? I will tell you. I have
found a way to strengthen the inside n,erves the only way yet
known. These nerves alone operate each vital organ. The
Heart, Stomach. Kidneys, etc., each have their nerve branch.
The power that makes each organ do its duty, is the inside
nerve power nothing else. I know how to restore that power.
No matter which organ Is weak," this nerve system operates
them all. Nerve strength or weakness extends to all.
My Restorative goes directly to this cause these nerves.
That is the secret of my success. Don't let prejudice
keep you from learning what my books will tell you. They are
practical books written for intelligent people. I am not ap-r-ealing
to ignorance, and I wish to discourage prejudice. No
matter what your doubts. Remember I have spent a lifetime
en my method, and it is unknown to you. I cannot call per
sonally upon seventy-six million of people. Then I must tell
you of my offer through the papers you read.
The telephone, the telegraph, the wonders of electricity
have been solved by man. May I not have found a way to do
as much for human ills? .
Thousands who are sick will read this who are discour
aged because of others' failures to cure them. That is no reason
why they should not get my book. You cannot know too much
about ways to get well, -when such waj-s can be tried at my
risk. This offer is too fair to need argument Won't you
spend a penny for a sick friend? Write a postal today for the
book he needs. Your reward will come In knowing you opened
the way to a cure. .
Simply state which book you
want, and address Dr. Shoop, Box

HOP PRICES GOING UP
SALEM GROWERS REFUSE OFFERS
OF 1 1-2 CENTS PER POUND.
Great Dcmnnil In Exiiected the Latter
Part of TIiIm Month Few
Crops L'liHOld.
SAliEM, Feb. S. Hopgrowers today re
ported offers of 134 cents for their crops,
but no sales of consequence are being
made. The few remaining lots In the
growers' hands are hold by men who in
tend to get the top of the market, if
possible.
The price is still advancing, though
slowly, and great demand for hops is
expected during the last 15 days of Feb
ruarj't when contracts for February ship
ment must be filled. One grower said to
day that the demand Is not for hops of
a certain quality, but for hops, and buy
ers are trying hard to get anything that
Is for sale.
As the quantity of hops remaining in
growers' hands is small, the upward
movement of prices is of greatest Inter
est, because It shows what producers
lost by selling early or shipping to Eng
land. The dealers who laid in supplies
at 9 to 10A cents have made a good profit
and stand a splendid chance to make
much more by reason of the advance.
Such dealers are booming the market,
while thoso who are trying to buy to
fill orders are doing what little they can
to keep prices down.

OPEX LETTER TO TEACHERS.
No More MnrklnK Pupils Present
When They Are Alent.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 8 State Su
perintendent Bryan has Lssued the sub
joined open letter to the schooT teach
ers of the state. The cause of Its
Issuance is said to be the pnetice of
some of the teachers In the smaller
schools In marking pupils as present when
absent in order to swell the district's ap
portionment, which Is made upon the
number of pupils in attendance. The let
ter follows:
"Teachers, principals and city superin
tendents, in keeping registers and mak
ing reports, should record and report only
the actual attendance of pupils. School
districts are entitled to accredited or con
structive attendance In but one case, and 1
thaj. Is when the school Is closed for the
purpose of allowing the teachers to at
tend a teachers' Institute. In this instance
the accredited attendance should be add
ed by the County Superintendent, before
making his annual report, and should be"
determined by multiplying the average
dally attendance as renorted by the teach
er, by the number of days the teacher
was actually in attendmce at the insti
tute. "The teacher who marks pupils present
on days when the school was for any
reason not in session. Is guilty of falsify
ing his records anS is liable to prosecu
tion for so doing.
"County Superintendents are hereby re
quested to give publicity to this ruling
and to see that it Is observed by the
teachers of their respective counties."

FOR THE CHILDREN
To Keep Their Digestion Perfect
Nothing Is So Safe and Pleasant
As Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Thousands of men and women have
found Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the saf
est and most reliable preparation for any
form of Indigestion or stomach trouble.
Thousands of people who are not sick,
but are well and wish to keep well take
Stuart's Tablets after every meal to to
sure perfect digestion and avoid trouble.
But it Is not generally known that tho
Tnblets are Just as good and wholesome
for little folks as for their elders.
Little children who are pale, thin and
have no appetite, or do not grow or
thrive, should use the tablets after eat
ing and will derive great benelit from
them.
Mrs. G. H. Crotsley, 53S Washington
street, Hoboken, N. J., writes: "Suart'a
Dyspepsia Tablets Just fill the bill for
children as well as for older folks. I've
had the best of luck with them. My
3-year-old girl takes them as readily a3
candy. I have only to say 'tablets, and
she drops everything else and runs for
them."
A Buffalo mother, a short time ago,
who despaired of the life of her babe,
was so delighted with the results from,
giving the child these tablets that she
went before the Notary Public of Erie
County. New York, and made the follow
ing affidavit:
Gentlemen: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
were recommended to me for my
2-months-old baby, which was sick and
puny and the doctors said was suffering
from Indigestion. I took the child to the
hospital, but there found no relief. A
friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets, and
I procured a box from my druggist and
used only the large eweet lozenges in. the
box and was delighted to. find they were
Just the thing for my baby. I feel jus
tified in saying that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets saved my child's life.
