Fast Forty Days Just the Same.

Many people are wondering if the
Lenten season this year will be one
day shorter than usual because of the
fact that Ash Wednesday comes eight
days earlier than it did in 1908, while
Easter happens cine days earlier in
the month than last year. Ash
Wednesday will be on Feb. II, last
year Feb. 25. This year Easter will
fall on April 8, while ia 1908 it was on
April u.
There, will be. no difference in tn .
fast period, however. It is always 40
days without reckoning the Sundays.
The fact that Easter falls apparently
one day earlier than the figures show
is due to the fact that the extra day
comes on February 80 and evens up
the period of sackcloth an3 ashes.

.FORESTERS MEETING.
Quarterly Meeting Of Wisconsin
State Court OffiCerS-BanQuet

John E. McCabe, West Superior; Will
liam j. kidnay, Milwaukee.
The meeting was for the purpose of
a .diting accounts and the transaction
Of othei routine business. The meet
inc had nothing to do with insurance
features. which is not under their con-
troll, but outlines fraternal and social
features which in the future will in
clude educational and literary work
among the lodges of the state so as to
make the meetings more attractive
aud interesting for members, This
feature which has recently been incor-
porated bids fair to make the order
more. enticing for membership and at
the same time be of particular advan.
tage to the members along educational
lines and ideas.
The growth of the order in Wiscon-
sin has been steady and progressive.
There are now in the state 14O courts

condition than at present. There are

four provinces of Canada, with total
membership of lis, 900. The order
was launched twenty one years ago and
the reserve fund which was established
less than four years ago amounts TO
1882. 900 and with the new rate recent
ly adopted will augment those figures
considel ably in the next year.

From all over the country enquiries
have been pouring in upon me for advice
upon various topics of interest to women.
They have asked me about housekeeping
and hone-making, how to keep ones
good looks, how to keep young, how to
preserve the figure, what to wear, how
to keep the husband good natured, and
how properly to train the children.
The rapidity with which the number
OF these requests has increased, and fhe
wife spread territory represented, have
proved to me the impossibility of meet
ing these requests by individual letters,
and have so impressed upon me the uni
versal demand for information along
these lines, that have been persuaded
to write series of articles, OF which
this is the first. 9Th.

Beloit Insurance Agent Debarred by
Commissioner Hest.

Insurance Commissioner Host last
Saturday revoked the license OF G.. w.
Van Akin Of Btloit for violating Sec
tion 1o45e. Wis Stats. Of 1898 as
amended BY Chapter 227 laws Of 1901.
which provides. that any person who
shall solicit or place insurance in shy
unauthorized company shall be liable
to the lnenred, in case Of loss, to the
same extent that the company would
have been liable; and upon satisfactory
proof Of violation of this law made 20
the com missioner Of insurance, such
agents license or certificate of author
ity to transact business In this state
shall be revoked aud shall not again
be renewed until ali liability to the
insured is discharged,
Affidavits were filed. with the com.
missioner showing that in November
1902 Van Akin solicited insurance for
E. A. Shanklin & Co., of Chicago. Ill.,.
in Milton Junction.; that April 6. 1908
he solicited insurance in Beloit for A.
G. Hayner of 189 LaSalle St.. Chicago,
ILL.,, who represented the Imperial To-
surance Company of America; and that
during April 1908 be was instrumental
ir placing solne insurance in the I'm
perial Insurance Co. Of Americx on q
tobacco plant at Stoughton, which WIS
destroyed by fire iu Septemb ber 1908.
The assured was unable to collect any
thing from either 4. c. Hayner or the
Inperial Insurance Go. OF America,
and this refusal of settlement on the
part of Hayner and the Insurance
company made Van Akin liable for the
loss, according to law, ns neither the
agents nor the companies were author
lied to transact business in this state.
On January IL, VanAkin, at the re-
quest of Commissioners Host appeared
at the department of Insurance to de-
fend himself. The commissioner found
him guilty and gave him until Jan. so
to settle the loss of sl5oo. 90 at Slough
ton, aud failing to do this. his license
was revoked in accordance with law.
From reports received ut the Insar-
ance Department, Van Akin has prob
ably placed largo amount OF unau-
horized insurance In Southern Wiscon-
sin; and it might be we'll for every one
having had business transactions with
him to carefully examine their policies
and assertion whether or not tho com.
panies in which their insurance IL
placed are authorized in this state, and
if not, their policies may be worthless.
