INSURANCE ROW

Investigation Brings Out Value Of

Former Commissioner of Insur-
ance Says Western Companies
Grow Under the New
Conditions.

"What will be the outcome of the
investigation Of the giant insurance
companies that is going on in New

A. O'Shaughnessy, former Commissioned
of insurance for Minnesota, who re-

tuary and goes in for prophecy he is
likely to risk his reputation. know,
however, what the outcome is already
in one or two matters; I know that
there has been sharp awakening on
the. part of the public to the fact that
it is not necessary that the insurance
company should have billion dollars Of
insurance in force, and proportionate
amount of assets, surplus and reserve to
afford the best sort of insurance. And
know that the effect of the investiga-
ton already has been to turn the at
tentlon OF the man seeking insurance
to the smaller concerns carrying on life
insurance as a business. T do not be-
ieve that the ,insuring public has been
infected by the wild-eyed clamoring of
some of the people who affect to believe
that the big companies should be re-
strained from doing business, or that
any thinking man fears that his poll
cies in the big companies are not good.
But the same man whoEis convinced that
ne is safe enough in what he is carry
ing it the giant companies are re-
strained from squandering their. hold
ings by ruinous business methods, is
giving close attention to the proposition
that the smaller companies-operatin
within limits that are reasonable and
which find investment for their holdings
in permanent securities, such as real
estate mortgages, carried in such guam
tlty that they can be easily kept under
the eye-offer the safest possible kind
of insurance. .&.
u have spent great deal Of time
in the west and southwest during the

some of them-have increased in pro-

Gas to that can It say. You see the
giant companies are carrying about 40
per cent of the life insurance of the
country-or, rather, they were carrying
that percentage. + don't know what
they have been doing under fire, but I
suppose it is fair to presume that their
business has fallen off. It has, perhaps,
fallen off largely. know absolutely that
many Of the companies that were writ

Mr.. Hobbs looked thoughtfully at his
city guest and then looked out of the
window. "When you ask me if it's
true that Jim Manton is the most
poplar boy I've ever had to ten store
and go round with the order wagon"
he said, slowly, why, I'm bound to
tell you it's so. But when you go on
to ask me how I think he'd suit down
in Boston, I'm kind of dubious-that's
what am, kind of dubious.
"You see, it's like this with my bust
ness. Order day is order day, and de-
livery day is delivery day, and wheth-
er it's summer, with thutty-two Gus
toners on the route, or winter, with
well, with some less, all Jim's got to
do those days is to get over the route
by shutting-up time.
"And he's what you might call a
handy boy, Jim is. Groceries and hard
ware aren't all he's got in his mind,
and he's ready to take hold and help
with what's going on wherever he
goes. Sol feel-kind of dubious

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of it's own, being a valuable
demulcent. nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in 'Golden Medical Discovery" in
bronchial throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away of flesh loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages OF
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerne acts as valuable nutrtive and
Queens root and Black Cherry bark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
Of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarSeness. In acute coughs 1t is
not SO effective. 1t is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
lungs, that it has performed it's most
marvellous cures. Send for and read the

icinal roots that enter into DR.. Pierce's
