I You need some form of Investment that you can realize
on when everything else ffocs wronjr.
II Your family will need it, because when you have passed
from this world of money troubles they will still have to
fiKht those troubles. Give your family, while you can,
, the best of all weapons to fiRht with INSURANCE ON

Ill The chances are that you will not have enough proiwrty
to keep your family in comfort. Probate records show
that loss than one business man in ten leave their family
$5,000.
IV When you take an old line policy you have immediately
created an estate of $1,000. $6,000, or whatever the
amount mny be. You can lose all your property and still
leave your family in easy circumstances.
V Your banker will tell you it is the easiest and surest way
of creating an estate for your family or an income for
yourself in old age. '
IV In taking out insurance you should select the strongest
and best company possible. Safety is the main feature.
The Mutual Life of N. Y. is undeniably the strongest com
pany in the world. Compard our policy with that of any
other company and we are sure you will take a Mutual
Life policy.

THE REFORM OF DALLAS.
How th Galviton Plan Cltintd Up

kIou form ut covernmeut and made It
so completely democratic that Its ene
mies charged ll with being "Hipulls
lic." Dallas liicortMirutetl Into Its cha,
tcr the Initiative, the referendum nnd
the recall. That the ucjwr form of gov
erumeiit has worked well lu the four
years It haa lniu In operation In Dal
las U shown by some of the results.
A Hunting debt of K'.iiT.poo was .Inher
it ml trum I he old regime. This has
been wxi out completely, and the
sinking fund required by law eatnb
llihetl At I be end ut the lnt (Wcnl
year they contained $117,000. From
thla ll will tie seen that lu Icri than
four years the hnvluga of the city have
amounted to sikVt.nou. lu IPCS the
pruilts of the city waterworks system
amounted to JUMUiui, and thene protlts
are being a well til with each succeed
lug year.
The forward strides of the city have
been so rapid under the qulckeulng lu
tin en re of good government coudlllons
that Dallas aud the county In which
it la lomted are preparing to build the
largest coucrvto viaduct In the world
at ii cost of several million dollars, A
bond Issue of $1.3(X,000 has been au
thoring by the people for public Im
provements, nnd n well developed pro
gram for the physical development of
the city has been laid out. A new
sewerage system Is being undertaken
and Dallas citizens nro preparing for
mother doubling of population lu the
Itvade ahead.
Tho city hall finds many opportuni
ties to make Its lutluence for greater
things count lu Indirect ways. It was
desirable that n uew municipal build
ing be erected, and to do this it was
Uecesviry to dispose of the old one
kjo the mayor aud the commissioners,
co-operatliig with the chamber of com
merce, Interested some St. Louis cap
Itallots In a hotel proposition and land
ed n new II.OUO.OOO hotel. They, sold
the uld city ball and made a new one
possible all In a single deal, At the
samo time they were trying to secure
ttn location of a great' Methodist uni
versity at Dallas, and lo this o they
were successful.
