You remember the story of the man
who tried to give his horse medicine
by blowing it down bis throat with a
long tube, The "hoss blowed fust."
That happened this time.
Lawson's great advertisement on

Nothing Like the Truth.
There's nothing like the truth to
frighten people. Lawson has the audi

facts that everyone knows. He criti-
cises insurance methods and backs it
up by extracts from an insurance su-
perintendent's report. He tells the
story of the Delaware receivership of
Bay State Gas, and all the men con-
cerned in that strange proceeding
tumble over each other to tell their
stories. He brings in Jim Keene's
name, and Keene admits having
manipulated S22,0 900, 900 worth Of
