WOULD FORBID POLITICAL CON.
TRIBUTIONS.

Contributions by Insurance corporations for
political purposes should be strictly for.
oidden. Neither executive officers nor direct.
ors should be allowed to use the moneys paid
for purposes of Insurance in support OF DO.
litieal candidates platforms. Tho devious
methods taken to conceal the payments of
this sort are confessions of their Illicit char
acter. They illustrate the manner in which
executive officers have treated the funds Of
the company virtually as their own, abusina
their power 10 disburse them without proper
accounting.
Whether made for the purpose of support.
Ing political views or with the desire to OBJ.
tain protection for the corporation, these con.
trbutions have been wholly unjustifiable. In
the one case executive officers have sought 60
impose their political views upon eonstitu-
ency of divergent convictions, and in the
other they have boon guilty of a serious Of
fence against public morals. The frank sd
mission that moneys have been obtained for
use In State campaigns upon the expectation
that candidates thus aided in their election
would support the interests of the companies
has exposed both those who solicited the con.
tributions and those who mado them 10
severe and just condemnation.
The committee recommends tho passage Of
unequivoca and drastic measure TO rem.
edy this evil. Not only should II be expressly
prohibited and treated as a waste Of cor.
porate moneys, but any officer, director or
agent making. authorizing or oonasn.ina 70
any suoh contribution should be guilty Of
mis6emesnor, and the prohibition should be
extended to all corporate contributions Of thi.
character.

The Pres. of the w. @. T. U. in a
young giant state in the Northwest
says:
II did not realize that ! was q slave
to coffee till I left of drinking 1t. For
three Or four years I was obliged to
take a nerve tonic every day. Now
I am free, thanks to Postum Food
Coffee.
AFTER finding out what coffee will
do to it's victims, I could hardly stand
to have my husband drink It; but he
was not willing to quit. I studied Tor
months to find way to induce him
to leave it of. Finally I told him
would make no more coffee:
Il got Postum Food Coffee, and made
it strong-boiled It the required time,
and had him read the little book, The
Road to Wellville,' that comes in every

To-day Postum has no stronger ad-

got through the winter without spell

frequent nervous headaches.

A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
6y De. Williams Pink Pills.

A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY o.. Williams Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af-
i1icted in regular succession one genera
ton after another Of their family are, AZ
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
eyyitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and q readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 400
East Seventh street, Newton. Kansas,
gives the following account OF her all
ment and her cure:
ssFor two years I suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother ana my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years &C.
cepted as unavoidable because heredl-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. Ny trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
deep. often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching dlsap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
tevidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after a month or
60 and used the pills again for short
time Relief came at once and since I
stopped using them the second time I
have ueen free from any return Of the
twitchings or from any interference With
my sleep" &. .
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of blood essneas, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lunbagq, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness aud the special ailments of girls
aud women. For further information,
