TO RELIEVE suNRuRN.

Beauty doctors are telling remark

the face, neck and arms with water
melon rind after exposure to the sun
or find. AS economical girls don't care
to waste the fruit, there is an increase
in the eating of melons. A maid may
keep her complexion in good shape
and at the same time give pleasure to
her callers. Another expert says no
thing is so good for sun blisters as to
apply a slice of ripe tomato. The juice
must be rubbed thoroughly and the
vegetable must be bound in place.
This use of the daily supply OF vege-
tables for lotions instead of food may
cause rebellion among the men of the
family, but they should be pacified
when they see the fair skins of the
feminine contingent Another complex
ion doctor advises the use of fruit
juices as a morning drink instead of
salts or hot water.
The woman who sunburns, not in
the pretty tan way which is invaroably

scarlet way irresistibly, suggestive of
the most brilliantly hued lobster, is

Although the laadolphias form the

Omaha, Aug. 15.-The report of the
committee on insurance laws, of the
American Bar association. to be made
at the convection of the association,
which meets at st. Paul August 30
81, was made public yesterday by R,
w. Breckenridge, chairman of the
committee. After giving figures to
show the immensely of the insurance
business in the United States, the re.
port says:
More people, therefore, are con-
cerned with insurance than with any
other institution of modern life, and
public interest with insurance is in
tense; but almost universal ignorance
with regard to it and the principles
upon which it is based has made pos
sible, through legislation, ostensihly
supervisory, but actually destructive
in tendency, greater menace to the in
terests of policyholders than they
have suffered through misjudgment
and dishonesty of company officials
and incompetency of majority Of
state insurance departments.
A most conspicuous exhibition of
legislative unwisdom is found in the
bills prepared by the Armstrong COM
mittee and passed by the New York
legislature"
The opinion is expressed that the
accumulation of enormous dividends
is responsible for the corruption de.
veloped in the conduct of life insur-
ance companies. Government super
vision of insurance companies is
urged as a necessity, but burdensome
taxes levied against the companies
by various states is declared to be
unjustifiable. These taxes, which are
said to amount to s25,00O000 a year,
are ultimately paid by the policy
holders.
The report characterizes the system
of state supervision as administered
under the laws now in force, as a
miserable failure The report then
quotes figures to. show that the great
mass of the insurance business is in
terstate in character, and gives many
authorities to show that the popular
demand is for federal rather than
state control. 1t also answers the
argument that the supreme court has
held that insurance business is not
commerce, saying that the real oppo-
sition to federal supervision does not
rest upon the absence of congress
sional power, but rather in disi1-
clination to exercise it. That objec-
ton is political in character.
