WOMEN PAY MORE.

WHY INSURANCE COMPANIES DTsCRIM-
MATE AGAINST THE GENTLE SEX.
If one is to believe the medical ex-
aminers the reason woman pays more
for the privilege of life insurance is that
she is much more commonly victim of
Indigestion and stomach troubles and
the fatal ailments that spring from these
causes.
It is not the acute attacks of disease
that influence the insurance examiners
alone, but the constant feelings of weak
ness, headache, indigestion and stomach
trouble. These things, physicians say,
kill more people than many of the seri-
GUS diseases.
For curative power in all stomach
troubles nothing else Is as safe yet ef-
fective, nothing else can be so thorough.
~ relied upou to relieve all troubles of
indigestion, as Mona. 1t is unlike any
remedy heretofore known; it is not a
mere digestive tablet; it strengthens and
restores to natural action the stomach
and bowels and makes q complete cure
in even tho worse form of stomach
troubles.

And now the papers announce the for
nation of rubber trust" just as II
rubber trust hadn't existed for years; as
IL il hadn't steadily put up the price on
rubber goods, till the flimsiest kind OF
rubber stuff sells for twice what good
stuff used to cost. But the worst
feature of the trust is that it has just as
steadily debauched the rubber business
BY reducing the quality, till it Is i'm
possible at any price to obtain first-class
goods, and the people of the younger
generation don't know what good rubber
in. "Rubber trust" indeed!

The all-absorbing Thaw trial has
come to q result which is, from the lega!
point of view, most "feeble, lame and
impotent conclusion"-a disagreement
of the jury. While much of the interest
displayed in the trial is undoubtedly due
to the promptings of mans baser nature
II is nevertheless true, as Julian Haw-
thorne says, that the trial is the greatest
human document of the age. And the
lesson to be drawn, which is illustrated
in every character in the drama, is the
old lesson, thousands Of years old and
vet forever as true as when the mind OF
man first began to grasp its Significance,
