Emulsion makes the blood rich and pure. It contains the vital flesh-huilding and bone- building properties and insures abundant nourishment. It strengthens the nerves and vital forces and creates energy during this period. Emulsion is healthful and wholesome medical nourishment, so scientifically predigested that it is promptly absorbed without taxing digestion, and distributes strength to every organ, and muscle, and fibre. Expectant and nursing mothers always need Emulsion, but refuse the alcoholic substitutes.

OL.S68S FOJ9 Snow's Whiskey At the meeting of the Boston School Committee last evening, Supt Dyer submitted a report from the Department of Educational Investigation and Measurement giving an outline of the w'ork which has been done thus far and the results of the Courtis tests. These tests reveal the ineffectiveness of the general class drill In arithmetic by showing that approximately one- third of the class gets more drill than it needs, another third makes fair progress, and the other third not only does not Improve, but In many cases actually loses in ability. They have demonstrated the need of drilling in these four fundamentals. It hag been found, the report says, that the eighth grade pupils use an average of about 2100 words in wrMing, Whereas the spelling books in common use contain from 10,000 to 15,000 words.

Eighty per cent, of the total live in the United States and Canada.

The remainder, twenty per are scattered over the rest of the world. They are located largely in Europe, including both the belligerent and the neutral countries. Their age, on the average, is about forty-seven. In this, as in all wars, the heavy mortality falls on youth, young men averaging about twenty-two stand on the firing line. hi Ru.ssia, Servia and fapan our policy provi.qions protect us fully again.st all war risk.

In (xreat Britain we have done iit lie business for ten years and the age of our insured reduces the war risk to the vanishing point. Our war risk, therefore, is practically limited to Germany, France, Belgium and Austria-Hungary. In al! of these countric- policies issued prior to 1899 carry a clause which substantially eliminates the war risk.

representing not more than 2,400 lives, or about of one per cent, of our membership. Our death losses incurred in 1914, including an extra reserve of $500,000 for losses probably incurred but not reported, were of the amount provided in the premiums for the mortality of that year. In 1913, when we had no war claims, our mortality was also of the amount provided. In 1912 it was 76 The total war losses actually incurred to December 31, 1914, including the countries where our risk is abundantly covered by policy conditions or otherwise, according to information obtained by both letter and cable, amounted to a little less than of the total death losses for the year. You may have been told that the Company would suffer because of its foreign investments.

This is not true. Our foreign investments, limited as they are to Government Bonds and high-grade municipals, have naturally fallen in price, but not appreciably more than domestic securities. No security issued by or in any country enga ged in this war and held by us is in default of either principal or interest. If the same statement with regard to American securities could be made by this and other American Life Insurance Companies, as well as by our Hospitals, Universities, and by Trustees generally, the financial outlook would be There is no reason to believe that we shall ever lose a dollar, principal or interest, on our foreign investments. The greatest single effect of the war on the New-York Life is to demonstrate, as perhaps no other condition could, not merely the strength, but its social usefulness.

Since August first last the Company has administered an extent of practical beneficence which surpasses the limits of exact statement. In spite of unprecedented which have actually destroyed a large part of the commerce of the world disarranged international credits, and shattered international have met every obligation and satisfied every just claim. After the first period of strangulation of credit passed, we disregarded all moratoria or other governmental decrees under which we might have postponed payments to policy-holders or beneficiaries. Since the first of August we have advanced money to policy-holders as loans on their policies as follows: Ne. of Loans Amoant of In the United States and Canada.

We have all felt the war here most keenly. No considerable business has escaped. It has been the good fortune of our membership to relieve suffering humanity, without charity, over a wider portion of the earth than ever to a degree never before equaled by any human institution. In life insurance as exemplified by the New-York Life there is more than the germ of that world federation of peoples by which alone this European Horror can be so ended that it will never be repeated.

There have been years in which the New-York Life did more business than in 1914, but there never been a year in which it did so much good. The Company enters upori the year 1915 with its resources not only unimpaired but increased, with its assets liquid and available as against every contingency. We have issued our Report for 1914 in condensed form and during the calendar year it will be sent to policy-holders generally. It will be sent to anyone on request.
