White Won't Be Reinstated.

That W. G. White, former patrol dri-
yer, viii be reinstated by Mayor Davis
is questionable. The mayor said this
morning: Il believe White has been
vindieated now but he has not had his
drunkenness excused. He was drunk
while on duty that there is no doubt.
He is a good man as a patrol driver,
as good as there ever was" The mayor
states that White has not applied for
his old position but he does not give
any assurance that the appointment
would be if asked for.

The ideal Family Laxa,lx..

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong. without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found In that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are OF the purest
herbal extracts. and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow, We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

INVESTIGATES Insurance Fight.


Auditor of State Carroll has writ.
ten two letters of great importance In
insurance affairs-one to the depart
ment of insurance Of New York and
the other to the officers Of the New
York Life Insurance company.
The first letter INFORMS the depart.
ment that some one Is sending letters
into Iowa signed by prominent busi.
ness men of Des Moines, urging the
recipient policy holders to vote fof
the candidates for director Endorsed
by the directors of the company, and
to vote against the candidates for
director proposed by the policy hold
ers' committee.
The second letter makes inquiry Of
the officers of the New York company
if they are sending out the letters re-
ferred to and at their own expense.
1t is Auditor CAROLS idea that the
insurance company has no lawful
right to be using it's funds to send out
such letters and that IL the insurance
department knew the company was
wing IL oohhcIiihS "Ouiu hdppeu Al
New York. He regards the letter as
absolutely unfair.
The commissioner OF insurance in
Michigan has issued an order revok.
ing the certificate Of any agent for
the New York company. No other
state has taken like action.
There are $4,000 policy holders Of
this company In Iowa. All have re.
ceivej the letter.
