We believe that a national incor-
poration law could be framed on the
lines Of the national banking act,
which provides for reasonable pub.
licity and an excellent system OF
federal examinations and regulations.
Such n national incorporation act,
we think, might include cause pro-
viding for a minority represention
In boards Of directors This might
be secured thu ough some system Of
cumulative voting. The minority
stock holders who would take the
trouble to get together and organize,
could secure representation In the
directiO and zee that their rights
were fully sustained. OF course, X
they didn't organize. they could not
complain II things went wrong. An
Indifferent minority always makes a
bad majority. Corrupt - directors
make inefficient and j. dishonest
officials. Dishonest officials mean
fraud for Investors and consumers
IL has been said that ian honest
man IL the noblest work OF God" II
may also be- said that an honest cor.
poration IL the noblest work Of man,
for nothing can more surely aud
quickly advance prosperity and In.
crease wealth. But a dishonest cor.
poration is u worxer Of iniquity. Il
breeder of wrong.

tunes they are controlled by persons
having the smallest possible owner

actually sold all their stock. but who
srs still able to control and per.
petusts their control through
various sxpedieDts. Thus the
directors In control are usually able
to secure re-. election by obtaining
proxies for n majority of tho stock,
though they may own very little stock
themselves. Moreover these proxies
may not always represent bona fide
stock holders. They may represent
merely temporary holders 0f the
stock. such nv speculators, or brokers
acting foi spectators. The real
Investors In tho stock may be
numerically In majority, but
pract ically In n minority. Thus In u

HOW TO HOLDAHUSBAND

The best known guide to married EAppi-
ness is to hold the husband as you won the
lover-by cheerfulness of disposition, pa
thence and keeping your youthful looks.
Of course a great many women are handi.
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which attlict her are apt to cause a SOU,
disposition, nervousness and a beclouded
mind.
DR.. R.V. Pierce, the specialist in woman'
diseases, Of Buffalo, N. ", after a long ex.
perience in treating such diseases. found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract. would help the majority
of cases. This he called DR.. Pic-ce's Ea
vorite Prescription. Thousands of womcr
have testified to its merits, and it is phi
up in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has DR.. Pierce in its merits
that he offers $500 reward for n case of
Ieucorrhea, Female Weakness. P%rolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means of cure.
