youth in a spring of gushing, life-giv-
ing waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. Alchem-

but it is only found by those happy
people who can digest and assi1nilate
the right food which keeps the physi-
cal body perfect that peace and COM
fort are the sure results.

upon him. He jumped cut or the way
and saved his life.

THE REAL FRANKLIN.

There was not wanting sinister in
fuences, subtly and persistently in
hibiting the development of that
large, explicit, and national recogni-
ton of Franklin's services which a
very little thing might have called
into full being and activity even dur
ing his lifetime. Had that consum-
nation been realized even for a day,
though it had been but the day after
would have been fixed differently, one
cannot doubt, for the rest of time.
For there would then have come fully
and simultaneously into the national
consciousness a conception Of Frank
lin which-instead of the legend OF
the Philadelphia printer, almanack-
maker and humorist, or instead of
the legend of the moral philosopher
who taught men how to thrive in BUSH
ness and inculcated the practice Of
honesty as one of the best tricks Of
every trade-should have given us the
legend of that historical Franklin, the
most famous patriot, the wisest states
man, the most successful diplomatiSt
of his age, man whose name all
Europe whatever America may have
been doing or thinking of, then and
since-once rang from side to side,
and whose presence in the world fl.
ed the mind of his generation with
the ideas of enlightenment, magnan-
unity, and freedom.-William Mac

COUNCIL CANNOT VACATE.
Important Decision by Supreme Court
of Illinois.

Springfield, H., Oct. 26.-The SUI
preme court of Illinois yesterday held
that any ordinance which grants the
railroads authority to elevate tracks in
city and thereby close any streets, is
invalid. A city, in the words of the
opinion, "holds the streets and cannot
lawfully authorize vacation or obstrUc,
ton of any of them for the use or
benefit of private individuals or cor
porations.'
This decision will prevent cities
from giving the use of streets for
street fairs. The case in which the
opinion was rendered is that brought
by Attorney General Hamlin for Muir
ply and other Directing property
owners against railroads entering
Joliet, to restrain the railroads from
elevating their tracks in accordance
with an ordinance passed by the city
council Of Joliet.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some In
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws: all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhea,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritabiIlty and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
inp, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement Of the female or
ganisn.

NO STATE TAX.
Revenues Seem Sufficient to Meet all
Expenses.

Revenues Seem SUFFICIENT to Meet all
Expenses.
Madison, Oct. 25.-Following the
precedents Of the past two years, Act
ing Governor Davidson, Secretary of
State Houser and State Treasurer
Kempf have determined that it will not
be necessary to levy a state tax this
year, other than the enc mill school
tax which is collected by the state,
and paid back to the several counties
in proportion to the number Of school
children.
When the state officers one year ago
RENTED the state tax it seemed pos
sible that the state might find it's
treasury in a bankrupt condition but
this fear has proved grOundless. The
amount Of tax which is now RENTED
is $1,125,484. The total OF taxes re-
mitted for the past three years
amounts to $3,O1O,624.
1t is estimated that the receipts to
the general fund for the year 1906
will be $4,71O000. Of these, the large
items come from the railroad taxes,
which will amount to $2,579,000; the
inheritance taxes estimated at $780,
600; the fees from the insurance COM
missioner's department 100000; from
life insurance companies $350,000;
from fire insurance companies $780,
900; from fees to the department Of
the secretary of state, 100000. The
decision to remit the $1,125,484 of
taxes for this year was arrived at af-

New York, Oct. 26.-More startling
than the testimony before the legisla-
tive committee investigating the meth
DDS of insurance companies yesterday
was the announcement by President
McCurdy of the Mutual Life, that a
his company had been appointed to
investigate the company and it's
methods.
Another interesting development in
insurance matters was statement is
sued by President Morton Of the Equit-
Of that company for the nine months
Of this year exceeded the expenditures
by $16,723,197, an increase of over
100000 compared with the same per-
iod of last year. Receipts from pre-
miums on policies for the third quar-
ter of this year were over $1,000,000
less than last year, but for the first
six months there was an increase
over last year of $424,943.
After an entire day given over to
the examination of Emory McClintock,
actuary of the Mutual Life, and to the
reading of column after column Of fig
ures, the legislative committee adj
journed until November 8. The testi
mony of McClintock was of a techni-
cal nature. A number of his eXplana-
tons brought out the fact that his
ideas were in many respects at vari-
ance with established methods of in
surance companies and that of his
own company in particular. This was
especially apparent when the subject
of deferred dividend policies was
being inquired into. He said the word
deferred" was ambiguous and mis-
leading, as it implied that the divi-
dends were accommodating or were paid
at the end of each year. The COM
pany, he said reserved the right when
it wrote policy to say what amount
should be apportioned at the end Of
each dividend period.
/ McClintock also said he was strong
ly in favor of limiting the amount Of
business a company should write. He
come to an agreement with the New
York Life and the Equitable Life to
limit the amount of business done by
each company to one billion dollars.
This was finally increased to $780,
100000, but James Fl. Hyde of the
Equitable first declined to enter the
agreement and then George w. Per
kins of the New York Life objected.
/ Hyde's reason was his ambition to
make the Equitable the largest insur-
ance company in the world. McClin-
! took thought a law limiting the
/ amount of business would be a good
thing. These views are contrary to
those expressed by President McCur-
! dy of the Mutual when he was on the
stand McCurdy did not think any
company's business should be limited
even at a point when that business
failed to be profitable to the com
pany.
McClintock thought a law com
polling the declaration of dividends at
stated periods would be UnWise.
