Riekert & Wells Of the Red Cross
Pharmacy are recommending to their
customers, as cure for hay fever, Hyo-
mel
Il is claimed for this remedy that it
stops the spasmodic paroxysms, the
sneezing the smarting and running Of
the eyes and nose, and other acute
symptoms of this disease.
Many persons have been cured Of hay
fever BY Hyomei and the discoyerer OF
the remedy processes to be able TO pre-.
vent both tile occurrence of the annual
attack and to stop the progress Of the
disease, even in the most chronic forms.
a. Hamblin of Westford, Mass,
writes "Hyomei cured me OF hay fe-
yer in one weeks time. / consider it
a duty to tell others who suffer from
this disease"
This endorsement is only one OF nun
dreds that have been received by the
proprietors of Hyomei, and Rickert q
wells offer to refund the money if Hyo-
mel does not do all that is claimed for
it. which IS the strongest proof that can
be gwen as TO the confidence they have
in Hyomeis power to cure hay fever.
The compete outfit costs but $500, while
extra bottles can be procured for so
cents.

by saying:
'Dr. Winston is the most scholarly
man connected with the educational
work of the State. 1t was predicted
that he would be mislit as president
of the Agricultural and Mechanical

different direction, but he quickly
adapted himself to the responsibilities

Spirit of the Press.
Home Companies Are Sound: So Are
Many Other Companies.


North Carolina insurance companies
are as good as any companies on earth,
as far as the policy-holder is directly
concerned. There is not one iota of
danger of their failure to live up to
their agreements, and they will pay
every dollar to every policy-holder
that they are obligated to pay. And
while we strongly favor patronizing
the home companies, is not a COM
pany like the Mutual Life, from one
viewpoint a home company? The
combined assets of the North Carolina
life insurance companies will aggre-
gate about one-twelftn of the amount
the Mutual Life has invested in North
Carolina. There are different views
as to this so-called insurance drain,
and while the Raleigh News and OBJ
server is pretty nearly always just in
its criticism of monopolies and the
Southern Railway, it has taken a de-
cidedly wrong view of this matter. The
Courier is not subsidized by any life
insurance company, nor the Southern
Railway, nor by the News and OBJ
server, nor can it's eyes be closed to
things unpleasant, in order to see just
what we wish to see, but right is right,
and those companies which have
money invested. even into the mil
lions in our State, justly deserve to
do business in our State; are old, true
and tried, and no newspaper on earth
can down the confidence the people
have in them. The North Carolina
companies-the Security Life and An
nuity Company in particular-are de-
serving of the large volume of bust
ness which they are getting, and in
justice to that company we will add
that the most attractive and desirable
form of life insurance that ever at
tracted our. attention is issued by that
company. The Mutual Life has stood
the test for sixty-two years and has
provided for many widows and or
phans in our State.
(There is no difference of opinion
between the Fremont Courier and the
News and Observer. 1t urges that
more insurance of North Carolinians
be placed with North Carolina COM
panies 1t has not attacked the Mu-
tual Life or any other great company.
Those companies have done a large
business in this State; they will con-
tinue to do so; there is room for strong
home companies and strong outside
companies. The cost of insurance is
too high. The expenses are too great.

save itself from the support of widows
and orphans.

THE STORM CLOUD OF MONEY.

The magnitude of the insurance bus
mess has only partly been appreciat-
ed since the appearance on the finan-
cial horizon of the Equitable scandal.
A glance at the figures creates a stu
pendous impression, that to the ordi-
nary mind is but an array of figures.
We have published heretofore what
went out from North Carolina. Now
through the courtesy of advance sheets
of the Insurance Press, We print the
income. The discrepancy, big as are
the returns in the aggregate, will be
seen to be appalling to those who re-
member the figures quoted as to prem
iums paid in the State. AS against
three and a half millions in round fig,
ures paid in premiums, the return was
less than two millions, most of which
resulted in a profit to foreign COM
panies of nearly one hundred per cent.
But, that the reader may take a look
at the books we present the follow
ing as to what the insurance compan-
les have paid. The result is something
to stagger the imagination. Figuring
the premiums according to the North
Carolina calculation as representative
the insurance business done during
the year 1904 is moneyed colossus
that gives pause to thought.
The grand total of claims paid in
1904 was 1871, 643,577.
What were the premiums paid?
Twenty-four cities received more
than one million dollars in claims, New
York leading with $26, 1896.
In North Carolina the following cit
les and towns received from the insur-
ance companies more than ten thous-
and dollars each, the grand total of
the State being $1,952,SS5 against the
expenditure of more than three and a
half millions.
