INSURE THRoATs AND FINGERS.
Celebrated Musical Artists Take no
Chances on Their Physical Condi-
From london Answers.


Some peculiar insurance risks. have
become so common that they cease to
be curious. All celebrated artists now
avail themselves of a special form of
underwriting, which is carried on in
their interests, either by themselves or
their agents, and the figures concerned
are usually large ones. This is not so
strange, for. If, for instance, Paderew-
ski lost one of his fingers or great
singers inimitable voice were to fail
her, the financial loss would be enor-
nous and would not be covered by any
ordinary provision or form of insur-
ance. a.
None of these performers are more
largely underwritten in this respect

engagement he would receive $4,000 as

would enable him to live in comfort

that his fingers are as precious to him
as his life, for he could never play If

surances from time TO time to cover
special risks, as when he is going on
a long journey by land or sea, but,
apart from these, his two hands are
regularly underwrtten from year to

annually In this way, with the result

THE PUBLIC SAFETY.
How 1t Is Maintained.

n0LTS and bars are an unfertu-
* nate feature of our modern civ
IL ilization, but are necessary in
maintaining law and order. 1t
is necessary that there be laws, and
some means of enforcing them. A
criminal loose in community is like a
chronic and wasting disease which
preys on our bodies, as it consumes
but does not supply an equivalent.
Before a crime can be punished it must
be proven that law has been broken,
and similarly before disease can get a
foot-hold the laws of health must have
been violated, by the sufferer or his
parents, in defiance of the rules of per-
sonal or public hygiene. And it is a
sad fact that the use of alcoholic drink
is most common and facilitating form
Of abuse to which we subject our long
suffering bodies. On the first symp-

we are only too prone to seek solace
from this all-curing panacea. A glass
of wine or bitters will often spur lag

stomach to partake of a good meal,
which il otherwise weuld have spurned.
But we purchase such relief only at the
price of eventual exhaustion, when the
stimulant is withdrawn, which, alasl is
seldom done before the sufferer finds

SECURITY FOR LIFE.
The desire to live is a natural instinct
implanted in all mankind. To live to
a good old age depends first of all on
healthy stomach and an active liver.
Why9 Because the blood which is the
main stream of life, depends upon the
stomach and the liver. The stomach
takes from our food those mineral ele-
ments which are necessary for its nour-
ishment. Ii the stomach is healthy, it
absorbs Just what is needed for heart,
the liver acts as the human filter and
eradicates the poisons from the blood.
Given healthy stomach and liver and
we can live beyond our allotted three
score and ten. That is why people live
to a good old age who turn to Doctor
| Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
whenever they feel out of sorts. Be-
cause this g Discovery " cures all ston-
ach and liver disorders, by putting the
stomach in a healthy state and by
making the liver active, and is such
reliable blood remedy and tonic that it
often enjoys the confidence Of several
generations in a family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from
/ the recommendations of those who have
tried it, prove its lasting merit, SO that
every bottle bears the stamp of public
approval.
III am satis6ed that Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will give
permanent relief, and cure any one who
may be suffering from stomach and liver
trouble, which as rule are the result of
bowel difficulties" writes L. Royalty,
Esq, Lexington, KY, Justice, of the
Peace for twenty-nine years. "My ex-
perience with the above-named medicine
was most satisfactory. l found it very
pleasant, mild remedy, agreeable to the
taste, and very mild in action. 1t soon
had my system we'll regulated and toned
up, and l have felt in splendid health
and spirits ever since"
LIFE IMPRISONMENT,
next to death itself, is the most sewers
punishment which is inflicted for the
violation of human law, but no less
severe are the penalties exacted for
violations of natures laws and regula-
tions. The best preventive is knowl-
edge of self, and this can be had from the
great Doctor book, the Common Sense

SOUTH LOOKING TO BUSINESS

While the people Of the South are

they are not letting that fact interfere
with their agricultural, commercial
and industrial affairs, declares tie
staunch Nashville American.
"The South is looking forward to a
great commercial, industrial and ag-
ricultural year.
'More land has been planted in cot
ton than ever before More millions
are being invested in timber produc-
tion, in mining in commercial enter
pr1ses and in new industries than in
any previous year since the Civil War.
To-day, the South is admitted on all
sides to be the most prosperous Sec
ton of the Union.
"There is more money in her banks,
the f4rmers are in better condition
and industries are thriving as never
before. There is an abundance of
work for those who want to work.
"The States are also in better shape,
financially, than ever before Tennes-
see, for example, has an overt wing
ressury. It meets all demands upon
1t cheerfully and promptly. There Is
no Borrowing to meet current expenses
or interest on its bonded deb Other
States are equally as well off
"The fact is, the South is leading
the country in the march of progress,
and while It's dominating and substan-
tial forces are interested in seeing
Roosevelt supplanted by Democratic
Presiden', there is little danger, come
what may, that the good times now
enjoyed in this section wilIend at any
