PREWIT I
Proposes Uniform Tax System
for Life Insurance.

At the session of the National
Association OF Insurance Commits
sioners at Richmond, Va, Septem-
Der 5, the resolution of Commits
sioncr Henry Il. Prewitt. of Ken
lucky, for a uniform tax system
hit IA popular chord and directed
attention to the injustice of the
present plar. The resolution de-
clared that the question was one
Of great importance and danger:
that it was OnPrOuS on q particular
class, and was really penalizing in
SuranCe consumers: that, inaSmuch
as the expense had to be borne by
the consumers, the old laws acted
as a penalty upon policy holders.
Mr.. Prewitt's resolution called
for the appointment of special
COllllllllltt VI StNtll 10 Jake lllp
subject under consideration, and
that the committee be directed to
ascertain the amount of taxes in
various States: to make a COMPARE
son between insurance taxation
and that on other branches of
business, and then recommend that
Il uniform tax system be enacted
which would prove to be fair.
During the course of his adj
dress, Mr.. Darwin p. Kingley,
president of the New York Life,
highly commended the resolution
of the Kentucky Commissioner.
This resolution is evidence that
Mr.. Prewitt is working at his
State business, giving much time
ald thought to it.

HAGtR MAKES FRIENDS IN
KNOX.
Attitude On temperance PleaSeS
Republicans.

Knox county, which is for pro-
hibition and votes against saloons,
always by a large majority, was
represented in large numbers at
Corbin, KY. by its citizens, who
turned out to hear what the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor had
to say on the temperance question.
They had heard the Republican
candidate only a short time ago.
and ii rs generally understood in
Barbourville that they were not
satisfied with the position taken by
A. f. Wilson. Judge :. w. Hager
defined his position so clearly that
there were shouts of approval, and
these shouts came from Republicans
as we'll as Democrats.
When Mr.. Wilson spoke in
BarbOurville IA committee of minis
tiers numbering about a dozen call
ed on the Republican candidate and
asked him to define his position on
the temperance question. Mr..
Wilson told them that he was a
temperance man himself, but that
he did not favor wiping out an in
dustry like the whisky business.
He would not modify his views
and took practically the opposite
stand from that occupied by the
Democrats. The delegation of
ministers went away unSatisfed
and feeling that they could not
support Wilson.

Returns to Family After 10
Months.

Reunited after an absence of
nineteen months, Mamie Claypole
Wood, of Paris. was overcome
with 10y when her husband, Rob
ert Wood, who mysteriously dis
appeared on the night of February
=, 1906, greeted her and her two
children at the residence of DR..
Margaret G. Wood, where she was
employed as housekeeper.
Mr.. Wood wa, a brakeman in
the employ of the Louisville 4
Nashville railroad and was happily
residing with his little family.
On the night OF his disappearance
as above referred to, he affection
ately kissed his wife and little
ones and left to 90 out on his reg
ular trip to Corbin, Ky, and was
due.as was his custom to return
the second day. Failing to show
up, his wife made inquiries of his
whereabouts without the slightest
information that could account for
his absence. Days, weeks and
months went by and no tidings of
the absent husband and father
came to relieve the worry of the
almost distracted woman.
The aid of railroad officials and
the detective department of the
road was invoked in an effort to
solve the problem of Mr.. Woods
absence, but without avail. Sec
ton men along the road from Paris
to COrbin were required to make a
search for his body as it was be-
lieved he met his death by being
thrown from his train. No tidings
came of the many efforts to solve
the mystery, when family and
friends began to realize that he
had possibly met with foul play.
Without the aid and support of
her husband, Mrs. Wood was COM
PEELED to seek employment and
found home AS housekeeper.
When Mr.. Wood arrived in Paris
from California, where he holds Il
like position with western rail
road, he was informed of his fam
ily's whereabouts and going to
their home was met at the door by
his little daughter who, recogniz-
ing her father, clasped him about
the neck and cried "Oh Papa"
Mr.. Wood, who will return to
California with his family, decln-
ed to explain the cause of his long
absence.

an inflamed condition of the mu-

When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect

unless the inflamm alton can be TAX
