Publlcity as a RemedY.

Publicity is a great remedy. The
Pennsylvania State Editorial Asso-
citation and the Western Pennsylva-
mia Associated Dailies at their meet
Ing in Harrisburg a few days ago
in jointly passing a resolution advo-
eating further use of publicity by the
state, directs attention to the prac-
tical uses the state itself can make
of it. Ignorance of the laws in
many instances works hardship and
injury upon innocent and well mean
ing persons, and increses the cost
and labor of enforcing laws. The
resolution passed by the associations
named should commend itself to all
legislators. 1t is as follows:
Whereas. The need of public in
formation of certain laws has been
frequently noted by the heads Of varl
Gus State departments, especially
the Departments of Health, Dairy
and Food, Fish, Game, Factory In
spection and Education, and
Whereas, The lack of this public
ity has. frequently handicapped and
embarrassed these departments in
carrying out their efficient and i'm
portant work, therefore be 1T
Resolved. That the Pennsylvania
State Editorial Association earnestly
urges the passage of laws authorizing
the publication of these statutes IN
der the recommendation Of the heads
OF the various departments believing
that such publicity in proper locali-
ties, of laws Of special and general
interest, would insure a better en-
forcement of all the laws referring
to public hygiene sanitation. pure
food, fish and game laws, school leg
islation, factory inspection, etc, and
would make 1t possible for
greater service for the public
good through increased efficiency of
the various State departments by a
maximum and intelligent co-opera-
ton on the part of the people
through the education and informa-
ton such publications would afford.

making application for a policy in the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance COM
pany for some time, possibly for sew
eral years, but for one reason or an
other you have put it off. None of
Jour reasons will bear rigid analysis,

your finances are not exactly in the
shape you want them when you start.
Son, they will never be. II you con-
tinue to wait until you are exactly
ready, you will have the experience Of
several others who l could mention
during my nine years connection with
the company. When you are entirely
ready and anxious, your physical con-

company will issue you policy. Start
the new year by signing an application.

very best there is in life insurance, and
in position to prove my claim. Don't
