One OF the big eastern companies ad-

pay for stl0,coooo OF new life Insurance
That Ia about three times as much old
line life insurance as is carried by all
the people living In Nebraska. Not three
times rs much as was written on Ne
braskans In 1911. but three times as much
as they now have no matter when or
where taken.
II that enormous volume OF insurance
all written In one year is not an argu-
ment against the people OF the west
farther increasing the financial power
and influence Of that company. II Is hard
to conceive of one. That company is not
selling Insurance at as low a premium
as The Midwest Life. a company located
In Nebraska and whose upbuilding will
be a benefit TO the state. The old argu-
ment for big business" that II lessons
the cost, Is lacking for the company In
question actually charges more. Congress
is now investigating the money trust +"
One reason why such a thing IL possible
is because OF the bigness OF some of the
giant life insurance companies Of the
east As an economic measure II Is far
better to have a number Of small, well
managed local companies than just "A few
big ones. Take a policy In

Members OF the Commercial club were
told Yesterday the real thing that makes
for the success Of the city is not the Sc
curing OF factories. but healthful homes
for the people who work in the factories
after they are located
Dr. w A. Evans OF Chicago, former
health commissioner OF that city, and a
member Of the New York Milk Standards
commission. was the speaker.
This country" he said. has had er-
roneous ideas on city planning and we
have lost sight OF the real thing that
makes for prosperity and content. II Is
not alone the beautiful parks and boule.
wards. II Is clean and sanitary homes:
II Is the churches, the schools and the
public Fairgrounds"
Dr. Evans talked on The Newspaper
and the Health Movement" The func.
ton Of the newspaper" he declared. lis
not only to publish the news. The news
paper is like the human body. 1; carries
impulses outward and II carries impul-
ses inward. 1t must make the hearts Of
the community thrill and throb. Its fune-
ton is to furnish leadership. Its function
Is to reflect the best Of scientific views.
II should make a study OF the vital
things and help thu community to better
things"
Likes German Laws.
DR., Evans cited the national insur-
anoe. laws Of Germany and England and
declared that some day a broad states
man would appear In the United States
who would push through legislation such
as the one passed by Germany twenty
years ago.
1T Is no longer the belief" said he.
that disease is the wrath OF God. Man
earns his illness. II is the duty OF the
doctor to teach men how to live besides
Its being mis- duty to cure. The time will
come when you'll see the matter OF health
not a matter OF the doctors. You will
see II become . matter OF business, com.
merce and trade"
In the course Of his remarks, DR.. Evan,
declared against further exportins
any Of our national resources. III phos'
phorous Is not too expensive for Germany
to buy OF u.s." he said. 1T Is too expen,
