STRIKES ROOT Of
INSURANCE EVIL
Commissioners Approve Bill In
tended to Vastly Benefit
Holders of Policies.
REQUIRES ACCOUNTING
FOR ALL SURPLUS FUNDS
Proposed Measure if Passed
Will Secure Management Con
trolled by Economy

ST: PAUL, Aug, 24-Millions will
be held II reserve for the policv-holders
| of life insurance companies and the
cost of insurance will be materially
lowered if bill approved by the in
| surance commissioners at their session
today meets with the approval Of the
| various Legislatures next winter.
The bill, which requires an annual
apportionment and accounting of surplus
OF life insurance companies, il is main
tanned by many of the commissioners
strikes at the root Of all the evil Of
the life insurance company, by hold
ing their officers accountable for the
enormous surplus funds accumulated
| under the deferred dividend contracts,
under which nearly all of the large
companies operate
The matter of apportionment Of the
surplus was brought before the com
mission in a report printed by Zeno M
Host, insurance commissioner of Wis
consin, on "annual accounting and
distribution Of surplus of 4lfe insurance
companies
Associated with him on the commits
sion which has this subject under con-
surance commissioner Of Kentucky; (;
Thomas Drake, superintendent of insur-
ance, District of Columbia, and B. +.
Carroll, Auditor State of Iowa.
Some animated discussion followed
the introduction of the bill by Mr..
Host, which was deemed too radical for
most Of the commissioners present.
Will Accomplish Much.
After some substantial changes, how
ever, the bill requiring an accounting
and distribution of surplus was adopt
cd. 1t is thought that this bill, if
passed by all OF the States, will do
fpn fTrty nd oo1
management Of insurance companies
than anything else. The commissioners
believe that the competition which ex~
lists between the companies will make
them eager to show larger credit
of dividends to the poicy-holders than
their competitors, This will result, it
is declared, in q substantial decrease
in the expense of management and will
also prevent the management from
ulation or for private emoluments, such
as the recent Investigations by the
Armstrong commission revealed.
The bill provides that "every life
insurance company conducted on the
mutual plan, or In which policy-holders
are entitled to share in the profits or
surplus, shall make an annual appor-
tionment and accounting OF divisible
surplus to each policy-holder beginning
on all participating policies hereafter
issued, and each such policy-holder
shall be entitled to and be credited
with or paid in a manner provided
such portion Of the entire divisible
surplus as has been contributed thereto
by his policy
Under the terms Of the bill these
dividends are to be carried as credits
and shall, in the event OF the death
of the insured, be payable with the
policy. Another important feature of
the bill is clause provided for q con-
tingency reserve fund, on a sliding
scale OF percentages, such as has re-
Gently been enacted by the New York
Legislature.

PRESIDENT STANDS
BY SPELLING REFORM
Issues Orders That Carnegie's
Innovations in English Be
Used in White House.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. o4-Presiden,
Roosevelt has indorsed the Carnegie
spelling reform movement. He issued
orders today TO Public Printer Stilllngs
that hereafter all messages from the
president and all other documents ema-
mating from the White House shall
be printed In accordance with the recon-
mendations OF the spelling reform com
mittee, headed by Brander Matthews. pro-
fessor of English at Columbia uni
verslty, This committee has published a
list OF 300 words. In which the spelling
is reformed. This list contains such
words as thru" and Tho" as the spelling
for through and though"
The Presidents official sanction Of This
reform movement Is regarded as the
most effective and speediest method Of
inausurating the now system Of spelling
throughout the country. Not only Will
the printed documents emanatinR from
the President utilize the reform spelling
but his own correspondence, also will be
spelled in the new style. Secretary Loeb
has sent for the list of words which have
been reformed, and upon its arrival will
Immediately order all correspondence OF
the President and OF the executive force
OF the White House spelled IN accordance
Herewith. AS the spelling reform COM
mlttee shall adopt new reforms those
Will be added 10 the Presidents list. and
also that of the public printer
While the order TO the printer today
does not contemplate an Immediate re-
form in the spelling Of official documents
from the executive departments In Wash
ington, II is regarded as more than likely
that the respective heads of the depart
ments VIII fall In line with the Presl-
dents ideas and have their official docu-
mentS printed In the new spelling.

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case OF
Eczema - instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTlCURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"ln reply to your letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
TO use 1t as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, / resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so we'll
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that We discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en-
tireiy on the Cuticurs Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores In about six weeks
we had her completely we'll, and thers
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms we're a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap. and
anolnted them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weekc his
hands and arms healed up; 80 we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticurs Remedies. We find that the
Cuticurs Remedies are . valuable
household standby, living as NE do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where

Spiritual Regeneration of preyfus.

Apart from the political consequences
| to the French Nation, there is no fact
Of greater significance in all the mo.
mentous events of the terrible drama
than the spiritual regeneration of Drey-
fus himself. Herein lies r splendid
theme for the moralist and the psyche
logist, What is the secret of the saint
like character which Dreyfus displays
In the hour of his triumph, challenging
aud compelling the admiration of the
worldi In the popular and complete
revulsion of feeling which accompanies
his rehabilitation vast power of revenpe
comes to Dreyfus. 1t is natural that,
with his innocence perfectly estab
lished, knowledge Of the awful suffer
ing and iDdignities borne by him for
g decade should create Il desire for
reparation in the hearts Of his country
men.
Dreyfus was not always the idealist
he has shown himself to be since his
return from "Devil's Isle and, con-
spicuously, in the hour Of his supreme
vindicati0n, according to the most re-
liable accounts, he was regarded by
his colleagues in the army us a vain,
aggressive and ill-naturcd churl,
1t may well be, however, that other
factors than the awful anguish and
torment Of body and soul which he has
endured have produced, or at any rate
assisted, this splendid transformation.
When we think Of the magnificent,
chivalrous sacrifices made in his inter
est by the greatest men in the Nation,
the flower Of intellectual and moral
France, the thought suggests itself
that the awakening Of the soul Of Drey-
fus may have been, in large part, d
response to these. Rarely in human
history has a helpless victim of injus-
tlce had such doughty and brilliant
championships Craftsma

mantle prisoner, Louis Mochorosky, a
youth charged with the larceny of
$4,000 worth of diamonds several
months ago. Mochorosky, who is about
II years old, afforded the police OF
many States OF this country vain
chase, and then went to Europe. it
is only love for a girl in Denver, whom
he ventured back TO the United States
TO see, which led to his arrest.
The boy was employed by Isaac
Der of diamonds from his stock. Wolf
remembered that the young clerk the
evening before had helped him place
in a safe the diamonds which had been
displayed III the store windows, and
this, coupled with his failure to report
for work, led the Jeweler to suspect
him Of the theft of the gems. Dctec-
and thence to Chicago and to Denver.
1t is alleged by the police that he
pawned several articles of value In
the latter two cities. In the Colorado
capital Mochorosky met the young
woman, affection for whom eventually
led to his capture,

VETHERE do the trem end Gus
wv advertising appropriations
come from, Mr.. Business Man1
Certainly NOT out of capital.
No, they are made up by reducing the
cost of selling, by eliminating conces-
sions and extra discounts to the trade,
by maintaining prices on firmer-or
even higher basis.
Because by advertising you create de-
rnand from the consumer for your goods.
It's easier to self goods for which there
Is consumer demand hence less
expensive.
Jobbers and Retailers MUST sell goods
for which there is consumer demand
hence no need for concessions or extra
discounts to the trade.
When Jobbers and Retailers MUST
sell your goods, they buy at your price,
and you can make it, and keep 1t,
safely profita Bile price.
But you must get what you pay for
consumer demand.
We want to show you what we do to
assure successful results from adver-
dSing.
We want to show you how we put the
Western Spirit of Aggres siveness
backed by Facts, Initiative and Push
into every advertising proposition that
