THESE INVESTMENTS
ING SENT BEFORE THE LAW WAS PASSED
Atlanta Georgian., 1912-07-29
To The People Of Georgia:

The most important bill ever put before General
Assembly affecting the general welfare of the state is
in danger of being lost by failure to secure hearing
before the committee
This bill-introduced by Senator Mann-provides
that life insurance companies doing business in Geor-
ga shall invest in Georgia part of the reserves that
must be invested for the protection of Georgia policy
holders
Several years ago, when legislation of this char
acer attempted, the great life insurance compa-
nes of the East said that it was an experiment. having
been adopted in only state of the Union They
said Georgia afford to wait and profit bv the ex-
perience of Texas If the law works to advantage
this state will have lost thing by waiting Texas
however, has never seen fit to repeal this law al
though it has adopted slight notifications in regard
to taxations that calculated to eliminate the
only Objectionable feature that has been successfully
urged against legislation of this character
IF FIVE YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL OPERA
TION is NOT SUFFICIENT TO DEMONSTRATE
Atlanta Georgian., 1912-07-29

THE EFFICIENCY OF SUCH A LAW, TT WILL
NOT BE DEMONSTRATED IN FIFTY YEARS.
The opponents of this bill will say that all good
companies will withdraw from Georgia Such will not
be the Texas called the bluff by passing
pulsory investment law and is in the full enjoy
ment of the fruits of its wisdom and foresight As a
matter Of fact the companies will not all withdraw
from Georgia. but the Eastern companies who
bitter in their opposition to the investment of
sonabe portion of their funds in the territory from
which they have extracted premiums will fight every
of this kind introduced in this state and final
ly conclude to accommodate themselves to the
qurements of any state the legislature of which has
sufficient faith and courage to demand for their
stituents square deal in the investment of premiums,
paid by these same constituents.
The adoption of this legislation is inevitable since
it is founded merely the right Of the policyhoders
of foreign corporations to require these corporations to
invest within the state of Georgia reasonable per-
centage of the premiums hat they paying out
nually and which go mainly direct to the East.
Atlanta Georgian., 1912-07-29

If some of the companies that withdrew from
Texas follow similar policy the enactment of a
compulsory investment law for Georgia. Georgia is
only destined to survive the shock but like Texas
to enjoy the increased investment of funds here by
those other companies who remain, as believe that
Eastern companies after ia lure make an example of
Texas, scarcely expect to follow a similar policy
toward every other state that enacs legislation of this
kind
The investment Of these funds as required by the
Mann bill, will eventually result in decreased rate of
interest farm loans Rates of interest in this
too high not by of the risk assumed by the
lender but because the demand for money is greater
than the supply. 1t will certainly bring millions of
dollars to Georgia. and aid in upBhilding the state
and putting Georgia at the front the Empire State
Of the Union which title rghtfuy belongs Georgia
PLEASE WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO AID SENA-
TOR MANN IN SECURING A HEARING ON
THIS BILL AND ASSIST HIM IN SECURING
ITS ENACTMENT AS A LAW

HATS AS P~ICTUREFRAMES

The other day a famous man was
sitting In the window seat of a fash
ionable restaurant watching fair
women pass to and fro as his sisters
discussed the fashions and incident
ally ate more chocolate cakes than
were good for them.
What puzzles me-" he said at last,
after a long silence, Us why pretty
women should try SO hard to make
themselves into ugly ones by wear

their faces and not merely as evil

He indicated as he spoke two WON
en- who had just passed. The deli
cate face of one was literally buried
under an imposing structure of pur-
pile, which turned her natural pale
ness into a CHASTITY white. while the
other sported a fearful creation Of
blue and green that made her look
grotesque.
Without their hats both these
women would have been good to
look att" with them they were al
most monstrosities. A mans point
of view is always worth seeing. and

The Great Eastern.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS doom:
VIII you please oblige an old lady
who has been reading the Star for
years? My father was a steward on
board the Great Eastern at the time
of the laying of the Atlantic cable,
but ] never heard of what became of
the ship after that. I am very old now
and / long to hear what became Of her.
Was she lost and how many years
was 1t? Very truly yours,
MRS. E. H.
The Great Eastern was, at the time
she was built, and until 1901, when the
Cedric was completed, the largest
ship in the world, being 692 feet long
and having a gross tonnage of 1875.
She was built in Great Britain and
reached New York on her maiden trip
June rs, 1850. During the remainder
Of that rear and In 1851 and 1862 she
made many transatlantic voyages,
but they were not 1nan-
cially. In 1866 and 1866 she was used
in laying the Atlantic cable. In 1867
she was reconverted from a cable
laying ship into a passenger ship in
order to provide for the travel to the
Paris Exposition of that year, but
the speculation proved a failure. In
1868 she was permanently chartered
by the Telegraph Construction and
Maintenance Company, and between
1869 and 1874 she laid some of the
most important telegraph cables,
across the Atlantic, in the Mediter-
ranean, in the Red sea-, etc. In 1884
she became a coal hulk in the harbor
of Gibraltar, and in 1887 she was sold
for $S2, 500 and broken up,

Mrs. Dot ! made myself fifteen years
older than l am by merely wearing
more elaborate costumes. If a girl
only knew how much better she
looked in a plain frock, which by
actual contrast would show up her
youthful coloring, beauty and spirits,
we certainly would see less Of an
attempt of young women to wear
upo the streets gowns suitable only
for the ballroom.
The only thing to remember is that
there shall be the utmost cleanliness
and daintiness in e part OF your
apparel. There must be nc hanging
shreds from your gowns nor buttons
off your shoes. Hats and coats must
be we'll brushed, and plaoket holes
must always come together care

would spend for chocolate creams or
ice-cream soda must &c for a Turk

ever your days work or pleasure
may have been you must never be
too tired at night for a daily bath
and a careful beauty toilet.
Later I am going to tell you more
about this beauty toilet for the night.
The great trouble with many girls
is that they will spend everything but
time and thought upon themselves
If you will make an expenditure OF
these two important things you will
really need very little money. neither

lures, nor a perfect form to be called

EIGHT USES FOR LEMONS

Glycerine and lemon juice in equal
parts on a bit Of absorbent cotton
are the pest things to moisten the
lips of a fever patient.
A |teaspoonful of lemon juice in a
cup of black coffee will cure a bilious
headache.
Lemon juice and salt will remove
rust stains from linen without in
jury to the fabric. We the stains
with the mixture and put the article
in the sun. Repeat until the stain
disappears.
The best manicure acid is made by
putting a tablespoonful of lemon
juice in a cup of hot water. 1t re-
moves stains from fingers and nails
and softens the cutlcle about the nail
in a satisfactory way.
Outward applications of lemon
juice cure stings and bites of insects.
Lemon peel and orange peel, dried,
make a good substitute for |kindling.
A handful thrown into a dying fire
Will revive 1t at once.

It is very apt to be with her girl
friends that one threshes out the
great questions OF iife-or what seem
to be the great questions of life.
Now that the doctors are prevent
ing physical disease by keeping many
of the germs away from us, mental
and imaginary troubles are much
surer to come to the average girl
than the measles or the w~hooping
cough. 1t is these fanciful and some
times fantastic worries that embitter
many girls existence, because to most
young women they are very real.
All girls worry more or less over
their looks, and 1t Is perfectly right
and proper that one should think a
good deal about ones looks, but to
worry to a point where one is self
conscious is foolish. 1t Is not neces-
sary to be regularly beautiful accord
ing to artistic standards to be pleas
ing and popular.
Even if vol have a pug nose, if
you have a pleasing smile your
friends will be apt to call your nose
"tip-tilted like a flower"
You must, however, always be well
groomed. Your hair must be washed
till it looks soft and clean al a
baby's. 1t must be put up in the most
becoming way. Do not try to follow
all the quirks of fashion, nor the
vagaries of a chorus girl in the style
of your hair. 1t Is really pitiful t
see young girls make caricatures of
themselves by wearing their hair in
modes that are appropriate to women
who are not only much older than
themselves, but who also go to places
where elaborate coiffures are per-
MISSILE and necessary.
Youth has a beauty all it's own, and
II Is foolish for a young girl to try
to make herself prettier by wearing
clothes, jewels and other adornments
which many older women consider
necessary to enhance their charms.

Yes, you will be wise to shrink the
material before making the dress. 1t
may mean the saving of the whole
garment. Put the material in either
hot or cold water and then hang it
out to dry. This will shrink 1t con
siderably, but even hen L would adj

AND CHEESE
FOR BOWEL TROUBLE
BY a Physician.

Folks troubled with fermentation
of food in the intestines will find
relief in a change from a meat to a
milk and cheese diet. Meat. more
than other foods, is apt to develop
bacilli in the intestines. Milk and
milk products develop bacilli of their
own that kill the harmful bacilii that
infest the intestines.
There are more centenarians in Bull
garia than anywhere else In the
world and medical authorities artrib-
ute 1t to the fact that the Bulgarians
live largely on sour milk.
Folks who find that milk and cheese
are constipating can offset that eff
feet by eating plenty of laxative fruit.
such as prunes or figs and eating
bread made of whole wheat or bran.

The newest and daintiest hatpin
seen this summer can be easily made
at home. First take a large button
mold and draw a plain hatpin
through 1t; cover with white silk and
sew around in rosette form Valen-
ciennes lace. Then procure some very
tiny cloth fowers-violets, small roses
or other blossoms-and put in, all
through the rosette.
These ~rosettes car be made as large
as one wishes, and two of these hat
pins will be all that is needed. to

braid in green with rosette hatpins
will give the summer girl a very
pretty and inexpensive hat.
