to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs

WANTS LAW REPEALED.

Comptroller General Wright will recon-
mend in his next annual report that the
law requiring fraternal insurance compa-
MES to file with him annually statements
showing the condition of their business be
repealed.
Under the present law relating to them
it is provided that these companies shall
submit to the comptroller once a year a
statement of their financial standing and
that upon this statement the comptroller
general is compelled upon the payment
of fee of $40 to issue to the company a
license to do business in this state.
Upon this license the comptroller says
that when persons are approached regard
ing the companies instead of investigating
the financial condition of the companies
they accept the certificate from his Office
as being sufficient proof that the compa-
niles are in good condition.
The comptroller believes that the law
should be so amended or repealed that
the persons who come in contact with
these companies should have some way
of knowing what the condition of them is
from their own Investigations and not
accept the license as a voucher. that the
company Is in good condition.
when these licenses are issued" said
the comptroller ''the state is compelled
to accept the statement of the company
as made without any other investigation,
and If this department knew a company
was insolvent it would have no way Of
moving to prevent the company from
doing business in the state after II had
presented it's statement"
Comptroller General Wright believes
these companies should be investigated
