National Insurance Commission
Drafts Bill For Approval
of States
TO APpoRTloN SURPLUS YEARLY
Submit Measure Designed to Secure
More Economical Management OF
Life Insurance Companies and to
Prevent Use Of Accumulated Funds
for Private Speculation.

St. Paul. Aug. 25.-Millions will be
held in reserve for the policy hoioers
of life insurance cmpanies and the cost
of insurance will be materially lowered
If bill approved by the insurance
commissioners meets with the appro-
va, Of the various legislatures next
winter.
The bill. which requires an annual
apportionment and accounting OF sur
nlus of life insurance companies, 1t Is
maintained by many of the commas
sioners strikes at the root of all the
evil in the life insurance problem by
holding their officers accountable tof
the enormous surplus funds accumu-
lated under the deferred dividend con-
tracts. under which nearly all OF the
large companies operate.
Favored by Carroll.
The matter was brought up IN re-
port by Zeno nj. Host, insurance com,
missioner of Wisconsin. Associated
with him were Henry r. Prewitt, OF
Kentucky: Thomas Drake, District OF
Columbia. and &. F. Carroll, of Iowa.
1t is thought that this bill, IL passed
by all states, will do much toward Sc
curing economical management OF m
surance companies. The commission
ers believe that competition Will make
the companies eager to show larger
credit of dividends to the policy holder
than their competitors. This VIII re-
suit. 1t is declared, In substantial de-
crease in the expense Of management
and will also prevent the management
from using the accumulated surplus Tor
speculation or for private emolument.
The bill provides that every life in
surance company conducted on the mu-
tual plan or In which policy holders are
entitled to share in the profits or sur
plus, shall make annual apportionment
and accounting Of Invisible surplus to
each policy holder beginning on or be-
fore the second policy year, or on all
participating policies hereafter issued,
and each such policy holder shall be
entitled to and be credited with or paid
such a portion of the entire Invisible
surplus as has been contributed there
to by his policy"
Under the bill these dividends would
be carried els credits and in the event
of the death of the insured, paid with
the policy. Another important fea-
ture is a clause providing for contin-
gency reserve fund on sliding scale
of percentage to guard against unfore-
seen contingencies and fiuctuation In

COMEDY OF ERRORS.
st. Louis Girl Mixes Letters am
Wrecks Her Happiness.

vvtSSNS itSi ss0RFusSoSs
st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 24.-An intimate
friend of Mrs. Amy Sturgeon, the
popular society matron, who is being
sued for divorce by her husband, Rob-
ert L. Sturgeon, member of one of the
most aristocratic families of st. Louis
and assistant cashier of the Merchants
Laclede National bank, throws light on
the suit which has created so great a
sensation in st. Louis.
Mrs. Surgeons marriage was big
mistake said this woman. 1T is an
other case of the girl marrying the
wrong man.
When Amy Bay came to st. Louis
from Virginia she at once became the
reigning belle. Her beautiful face and
form attracted scores of suitors.
among the wooers two We'd with
one another in the ardor and impetuos-
ity of their courtship. One was Mr..
Sturgeon; the other a young man of
ing personality.
Amy could not decide between them.
Still they urged and finally made for
NAL declarations, asking her to think
the matter over and give them their
answers.
After delaying as long as possible,
Amy decided in favor of the Ken'tuck-
ian and wrote him a brief note ac-
cepting him. Then she wrote Mr..
Sturgeon a kindly little letter thank
ing him for the honor he had shown
her. but telling him she had plighted
herself to another.
seThen she put the two letters in the
envelopes she had already directed.
But-and herein lies the tragedy of
more than on,e life-she put the letter
of acceptance in the envelope addressed
to Mr.. Sturgeon and the refusal i'm the
other mans envelope. Neither letter
bore a ,superscription There was, no
clew in either letter to the person adj
dressed
80 it fell out that young Sturgeon,
arriving in hot haste upon receipt of
his letter, amazed Amy Bay by assum-
ing the role of the accepted sutton.
Before Amy could command her senses
she had been carried away by the
youthful ardor of Mr.. Sturgeon and her
love for the two being SO nearly equal
she believed fate had interposed to
make choice for her.
What need is there to say more?
The marriage was not happy one. In
a few monthsJthe couple began to drift
apart She became the center of a
brilliant social circle and plunged into
the distractions of society life. Her
husband was seldom seen in her COM
pany. During the worlds fair Mrs.
Sturgeon achieved unusual fame by the
brilliancy of her leadership. With Miss
Rosemary Sartoris, granddaughter Of
President Grant, she was prominent at
all exclusive functions of that remarks
able social season. For some weeks it
has been known that she and her hus-
band were not living together. She
went to live with her father and is now
visiting in Tennessee.

then the promise Of victory and then
the quiet days Of convalescence. In
the little room where he had dreamed
his boyish drenms and suffered his boy
ish sorrows he struggled against death
and gradually emerged from the mists
Of lassitude. He found 1t harder than
he had thought to come back to life.
The trained nurses found that some
more powerful stimulant than the med
icine was needed to awaken his ambi-
ton. and they discovered 1t at last in
Peggy.

she was permitted to see him, and his
eyes had lights In them, do you know,
this isn't such bad world after oil.
Sometimes as I've lain here 1t has
looked twisted and queer, but there are
things that straighten 1t out. Today
feel as though I had a place In it-as
though l could fight things and win
out. What do you think, Peggy? Do
you suppose there Is sor hing that
could do? You know what l nean-
something that some one else would
not do Thousand times better"
But Peggy, to whom this chastened
mood in Monty was infinitely pathetic,
would not let him talk. She soothed
him and cteered him and touched his
hair with her cool hands, and then she
left him to think and brood and dream.
1t was many days before his turbu-
lent mind drifted to the subject OF
money but suddenly he found himself
hoping that the surgeons would be gen.
erous with their charges. He almost
suffered a relapse when Lotless, Wis
IDLY distressed, informed him that the
total amount would reach $1,000.
And what is the additional charge
for the operation?" asked Monty, IN
willing to accept such unwarranted
favors.
"It's included in the $1,000" said
Lotless. "They knew you were my
friend, and it was professional eti-
quette to help keep down expenses"

There is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ].
