A GeneraIHInf.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of perature,-rain, wind and
sunshine often intermiRgled in single day,
it is no wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken from
us by neglected colds, half the deaths re-
sulting directly from this cause. A bottle
of BOschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will prevent
serious sickness. large doctors bill, and
perhaps death, by the use OF three or four
doses. For curing Consumption. Hem
orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group
or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its
success is simply wonderful, as your drug
gist will tell you. German Syrup Is now
sold in every town and village on this con
tinent. Sample bottles for trial, lOc; regu'
lar size, 75c.

Nervousness, Wakefulness, Palpitation OF
Heart, Liver Disorders, Costiveness, Pain

q pleasant experience that surprises no less
than it comforts. Another remarkable
feature Of this remedy is its powerful spe-
cific action on the skin and mucns surfaces
of the throat and lungs by which 1t unfail-
ingly cures the worst cases of Cough, Cold,
and Sore Throat. It cures in wonderful
short mime, removes all soreness from the

To the Editors of the Clarion:

To the Editors of the Clarion:
| have carefully read your several edito-
ria,s upon the subject of insurance laws of
the State, in which you very properly urge
the repeal of that provision of these laws re-
Quiring insurance companies to make de-
posits with the Trea in addition TO the
payment of IA privilege tax OF one thousand
dollars. No disintereSted person will Sc
riouslY contend, after an examination of
the subject, that this required deposit is
sufficient protection to policy holders. Nor
did the projectors of the system so believe
or intend. Their object was evidently
to make a forced loan from insurance
computes for the pun pose of retiring some
OF the innumerable deprecated State war
rants that were then afloat upon the market
besides 20 pave the way for their schemes of
plumber.
This Indebtedness of the State to insu-
rance companies has been left as legacy
to the now dominant party which must be
sooner or later paid, and it would be wis
dom in the Legislature to m Ike provision
for its liquidation, in order that the State
may not nave to pay interest upon money
that it does not need TO carry Oh its Govern
ment.
It is well established fact that more
money is paid as interest upon these Gepos
its than is derived from the privilege tax
imposed on these companies. This fact
alone argues badly for the wisdom of those
laws and demands their repeal or mod flea
ton.
How can this be done for the public
good? is the question. | would suggest in
the first place, that the Legislature repeal
this deposit system. pass and act to have all
these warrants now in the Treasury funded
into series of six per cent. annual interest
paying bonds, falling in the future at such
times as will be least oppressive to the tax
papers of the State, and continue to impose
an annual privilege tax upon all insurance
companies that wish to ply their vocation
in the State, sufficient To meet the interest
as it becomes due upon the bonds so issued.
Let this be done, MeSsr3. Editors, and we
will fad that many additional com panies
will establish themselves in the State, and
break up the monopoly in insurance which
has been established by the deposit system,
and thus necessarily reduce the Rates of il
surance. TAXPAYER.
