WHERE INSURANCE IS ROBBERY

The holder of a policy in an "old
line" insurance company may
think he understands his policy, |
but he doesn't. 1t is drawn by
shrewd lawyers and is intended to
mislead or at least to make worth
less or of little value promises
which are alluring and which APP
pear to be binding. The policy
holders are robbed from start to
finish. The agent may be honest,
but the company is not. 1t de
signs its policies so as to get the
better of the holder every time.
In the first place it makes him
pay more for his insurance than it
is worth. 1t makes him pay for
promised participation in possible
dividends which he seldom or
never receives. 1t beclouds and
misleads him and holds out to him
inducements which are barren of
results, so far as he is concerned.
The only thing certain is that he
must pay his premiums promptly.
If he dies his beneficiaries get the
straight sum which it is stipulated
shall be paid in case of death.
The pOlicyholder contributes
money to pay princely salaries to
company officers; to political cam
paign assessments; to furnish funds
for officers and directors to use in
speculation, and to use as they see
fit and without proper accounting.
In addition to paying high price
for straight insurance he also pays
literally for what he does not get.
He goes against system which is
devised to benefit the man who
sits in the Dealers chair.
The old line companies have
grown enormously rich, and are
powerful because of their wealth.
They have so much money they
hardly know what to do with it.
Their officers and managers are
the agents of trust funds, posi-
ton which imposes serious respon-
sibility and the most solemn and
sacred Obligations trust which
no honest man could think of be-
traying. The insurance scandal
involves the leading companies.
The revelations are astounding.
The regulations of men of high
standing have been indelibly be-
smirched. The whole rotten sys-
tenn is being laid bare. 1t should
be prObed and uncovered to the
last detail. 1t will have a good
effect; also bad effect.
The temptation which comes
through the control of other peo-
pies money, the handling of mil
lions, seem to be too great for the
mortal nature of men who profess
to be honorable. The conscience
becomes hlunted, and men become
morally blind to their own crimes,
and even seek to justify them.
The authorities of the State of
| New York have a gigantic task
before them, but they should seek
to show that these great insurance
, corporations, tremendously rich
and powerful as they are, are not
yet more powerful than the Gov
eminent. The whole system is a
deliberate robbery of thousands of
policyholders all over the country

Efforts recently made in Africa
and elsewhere to raise cotton have
not proven commercially success
full, yet the demand for it is con-

the South will still be relied on to
furnish to the world the greater
part of this almost universally
used product.

 When Young MT. Croesus, in January last made q flying trip from New York to Washington, the members of his party were as matter of course well provided with wraps. All of them. including the ladies. wore fur coats, fur caps or hoods, and fur gloves. The chauffeur, however, was clad in complete suit of leather. which, with the headpece, made him look somewhat Ike a medlaevaI man in armor. and, because his feet could not be wrapped in such a way as to interfere with his control of the machinery. he was provided with fur boots that came up over his shoe as high as the knees. Neverthe- less and although so voluminously pro- tected against the cold, the millionaire and his guests were becomingly attired It is no longer considered necessary that an automobilist shall get himself or her self up in the likeness of a bear or a burg lar, and the fur garments worn under such ccndltions by persons of taste and fashion are made of squirrel skins. Per sian lamb. or other short-haired belts which can be cut to fit the figure
 such auto-coats are not made for ordf- nary folks like you and me. They cost from $500 to 5000 a piece. and some of them are lined with velvet, so as to he utilized on occasions as opera cloaks. An other thing that is nice about them Is that they have capacious pockets. rem dering huff unnecessary, when a lady is the wearer; and 1t is worth mentioning that the one worn by pretty Mrs. Croesus has a wide collar which may be turned in so as to cover her ears. Furthermore she has hat of grey squirrel-skin like a Highlander's cap, with a scarlet birds wing on the side of it. to lend a touch of color.

Real DIscoverer Of Hudson River.

Marie Won Worst in Harper's Magazine
 for March.
 No Dutch or English man can affirm the discovery of the Hudson river. Yer razzano must have distanced Hudsons archives by nearly a hundred years. How ever, the Dutch and English llaison In the matter Is close. Hudson is appropriated by Dutch minds and has a Holland tra- dition around him. He came in a Dutch yacht called the Haf-Moon in 1909. His sailors were Hollanders and Englishmen; ; he represented a Dutch East India com pany on it's way to find the much sought for northeast passage to India. He ex- plored the Hudson, going as far as the little town that bears his name, and he himself has been transmitted to posterity with such blended and mixed traditions as to constitute him well-nigh a half breed In peoples minds.
 The names of the river are varied It has been called Manhattan. the North river, the Great river, the Mauritas, and in the year 1916 bore legally for some length of time the name Riviere Van den Worst Moritas

his own fifth floor window.
 Where you find case of man not insane accidently tumbling out of high window" said this doctor. you can pret- ty safely diagnose 1t as tri-facial neural gia. No other agony, mental or physical will so surely drive a sufferer to that form of suicide.
 Medicine knew no cure and but little alleviation for this When the nerve functions were accuratedly mapped out 1t was found that the ganglion lying almost in the midline of the skull, on It's floor. was the point of convergence of the sem sorry nerves of the face. If this could be removed, all but the deepest seated cases of tr-facial neuralgia could be relieved. But would the patient survive? Much dis cussion followed the suggestion. On the theory that the victims life was not worth living, and with the full consent of a patient who gladly accepted any chance of relief, even with death as the probable alternative. a daring surgeon undertook the feat It was triumphantly successful. The patients face Is now dead 50 far as any sensation Is concerned. but a condition not without its dangers. but there Is no loss of motor ability.

Charles Lincoln Smiths Fourth Week Brings Grand Success-Hundreds of Our Best Citizens Are
 Endorsing His Knowledge and His Art.
.BESSEMER WOMAN'S
 STRONG TESTIMONY
INTENSE SUFFERER FOR YEARS TELLS HOW CHARLES LINCOLN SMITHS METHOD GAVE HER RE- LIEF.

Mrs W. B. Clapper, the wife of w. B. Clapper. who is employed by the Besse- mer Bottling Works company and sis- ter of c. s. Davis, the successful pro- prietor of that establishment, recently related the interesting story of how, after suffering for many years from excru- ciating headaches due to defective eye sight. she was relieved from pain by Charles Lincoln Smiths method and pre-. scription glasses.
 Ever since I was a child-in fact al- most from the time when l can first re- member-I have been the victim of in- tense and prolonged headaches The at jacks came at frequent and irregular intervals and followed any continuous eff fort made by me In the use of my eyes. The pain was frequently little less than exerutiating. My eyes burned, the temples throbbed painfully and sharp neuralgia pains pierced my brow.
 Whenever l went for advice I was told that my case was one in which relief could not be had by using eye glasses The oculists and physicians pre- scribed tonics.
 q followed their advice faithfully. But though l swallowed bottle after bottle of the stuff. I could get no relief. My condition grew steadily worse. until at length I feared that not only increasing headaches, but even permanent blind ness was my portion.
 My deliverance came at last, how ever and in most unexpected way. I heard of Charles Lincoln Smith and of the great relief he had given hundreds of persons throughout the country. I went to him and consulted him. He ex- amined my eyesght. and with his method and prescription glasses gave me instant and lasting relief
 q have not had q headache since I began to wear the glasses. I regard him as my deliverer from those terrible head aches"
