REDUCTION
TO BE MADE
IN INSURANCE
Action of Rating Commits
sion Means Saving of
$I,5Oo,oo to Poll
cy Holders

A big cut in fire insurance rates
now being applied by the insurance
companies to all classes Of property,
real and personel, in Kentucky, will
shortly be made by the new
State Rating Commission. 1t was
stated that the reduction in the
tariffs on dwellings and contents
will be about % per cent less than
the present charge, making an an
nual saving Of approximately 81,
100000 a year for the the policy
holders.
1t is understood that the Rating
Commission has not vet prepared
it's schedules on mercantile business,
which is larger item in insurance
than dwellings.
In the past week members of the
State Rating Commission have
held several private conferences with
representatives of the fire insurance
companies. The purpose of these,
according to Glenn f. Wheeler, man.
ager of the Kentucky Actuarial
Bureau, was to have a full under
standing of each Others position,
and il possible, reach an agreement
on what rates shall apply.
Mr.. Wheeler said that the repre-
sentatives OF the insurance compan-
les and members of the commission
failed to get together on the propo-
sitions before them.
There was no intimation, he said
at any OF the conferences as to what
rates have been or will be adopted
by the commission. Also he said,
he has no idea just when the COM
mission will promulgate it's sched-
ules.
Whether the insurance companies
will accept the rates laid down bv
the commission, however, is another
matter entirely. Mr.. Wheeler last
light said that under the law the
insurance companis may take ex.
ception to the State tariffs the same
as the railroads have the right to
contest rates promulgated hy the
railroad commission.
The fight for lower insurance
rates began about eighteen months
ago, when Sebastian Zorn, chair.
man Of a special committee appoint
ed by the Board of Trade took up
the question with the board of Fire
Underwriters.

Switch near Paris, Nv, And
Hits Cut Of Cars.
FIREMAN JUMPS But
IS SERIOUSLY HURT

PARIS, KY, Sept. 20.-Nearly a
score OF persons were injured, one
perhaps fatally, when Louisville &
Nashville passenger train No. 81,
bound from Cincinnati to the South
plunged through an open switch at
Kiserton, three miles from this city,
at 11:30 O'Clock this morning.
The train was running at a good
rate of speed when it reached a Sec
ton which is being double tracked.
Here a switch had been left open by
someone whose identity has not
been determined. The passenger
train ran full tilt into a cut of
dozen cars left standing on the sid.
ing by construction crews.
tagIneer Stays at Post.
The engine of the passenger was
hurl:d from the track on which it
was running and thrown across the
track on the opposite side, wrecking
the locomotive.
Fireman Joseph Faulkner, of Gov
ington, who is badly injured, escap-
ed death by jumping when he saw
the danger as the tender telescoped
the side of the cab in which he was
stationed, crushing it like an egg
shell. Engineer Ed Price, of Coving-
ton, stayed at his post, reversing
his engine, and escaped injury.
A relief tram was made up and
sent from this city and the injured
brought to this city, where they are
being cared for.

A Word to Women
7 on Health Matters

Women are generally careful about
the state of. their health, and they are
apt to make good use of remedies
known as disease preventives. Germi-
cides and antiseptics are included in
this class, but the greatest care should
be exercised in uSing any which con-
tain poisons, unless prescribed by a
physician.
% By reason of it's absolute safety and
its beneficial results, physicians gener'
ally, have strongly recommended Ty-
ree's Antiseptic Powder. 1t is unequal
ed as a preventive of contagious dis
ease, unsurpassed as a dor-he, and
highly efficacious in avoiding infection,
healing diseased tissues, ulcers and deli
cate membrane passages. Ideal and
delicate for deodorizing purposes. A

they became fast friends. Guido would
share his meal with the gnome and pick
