Three Strong Companies Withdraw and
. Rate War Is Expected.

Three more members OF the Pacific In
surance union, rae fireuan's Fund.
Home Mutual and Commercial Union.
have withsirawn and given the thirty
days notice OF withdrawal required by
the rules Of the union. With the Phoenix
az Hartford and Home CT New York this
makes fiye of the strong companies now
out and ready for a war of rates on
account OF rebates and excessive cont
missions The three companies have all
Withdrawn within the past few days.
Insurance men now view the situation
with more alarm than when A. T.. Massli.
the San Francisco manager for the Home
ana Phoenix. served his notice of With
drawal two or three weeks ago.
Some of the managers In San Francisco
have been fined for cutting the rates
established by the union. bat it is said
the union is not in a position TO force
the payment, as the managers may join
those already out. The opinion OF lead
ing insurance men is now that the with
dF&wal of so many substantial members

ager MagiIl withdrew a committee on be-
half Of the union has been comforting
with him with a view to inducing the
Home and Phoenix TO return. bat no
material results have been accomplished.
AZ cannot understand" said an agent
yesterday. why the companies wish 10
precipitate rate war. as appears to be
the case. They cannot AFFORD a war at
this time, and in the end 1t win do no
one any good The companies have not
made any money the past year and have
none to spend in a fight. and rate war
simply means Deprecated stocks and
securities and Disaster
Many OF the Insurance people believe
that something mere effectual than has
already been accomplished with Manager
Magill must be done before his thirty
days notice is up. This will occur about
January |, and after that he viii be in

There Is no money in the county treas

Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. d.
Paines celery compound is not patent

ate quantities OF this natural article OF
food. As matter of course, they suf-
fer in consequence. Then they argue
that fruit does not agree with them
as, indeed, it is not in common sense
that it should. Careful treatment, a
very little fruit at time, taken at
proper hours and with some simple
article of food, such as brown bread or
graham crackers, will in a short while
put the digestive apparatus in suita-
BILE condition to assimilate all ordinary
sorts Of fruit.
1t is insisted by many persons that
the natural food of man is vegetable.
Be that as it may, diet composed
largely of fruit is unquestionably the
most beneficial The leaves of the
trees were given for the healing of the
nations. and the fruits of the trees
were the original food designed for the
nourishment of mankind. With the
demands Of unnatural and stimulated
appetites. every sort of abomination
has been evoluted through culinary
channels, until the diet of the average
well to do individual is about as far
from natural conditions as it is possible
to make it.
Some of these days, when the reac-
ton sets in and we swing back nearer
to first principles, the health and phys
ical condition of the human race will
be very far in advance of what it is at
present. Those who are suffering from
feverish conditions, morbid tendencies
and the inordinate cravings that are
the surest Indications of error in diet.
will do well to try the beneficial effects
of more fruit and less highly seasoned
dishes and condiments. A plain diet
of vegetables and fruit, with milk and
eggs and an abundant supply of pure
water. would do more for the race than
all the resources of medical science
