GEORGIA WOULD RID STATE OF
 WILDCAT INSURANCE SCHEMES

Another recommendation which the com mittee will make will be a ''reciprocity' law; that is. one imposing upon the com panios of other states, fire and lite the same restrictions which those states im- pose upon Georgia companies. For eX- ample, Georgia requires old line life insurance companies to make a deposit of $I0000) in specified bonds for, the protee- tion of policyholders. There are other states, however, which require that this deposit shall be S9oO,OOo. Under such a law companies from states of this class would be required to make n SD0, 600 de- posit in Georgia. In other words it Is proposed, for example that all restrie- tions which Alabama puts upon Georgia company which seeks to do business in that state, shall be put upon an Alabama company seking business fin Georgia.
 A standard policy law will also be rec ommended; that is, requirement that all companies doing fire insurance business in the state shall use a uniform and stand ard policX blank
 It has long been realized that Georgia Is behind other states In the matter of in- surance laws. Insurance Commissioner Wright has repeatedly urged revision and has pleaded with the legislature for laws that wt ulo better protect the public. His plea has gone unheeded until now. when there is a prospect that something will be cone.
 The members of the committee here are Representatives o. T. Cover, charman IT. 1T. Candler. G. Y. Harrel, R. N. Har- deman: Senators E. A. Copeland J. w. Mason and George H. Adams.

Atlanta, April S.-(Special) The special cimmittee from the state legislature ap- pointed to investigate and report upon Georglas insurance laws has been in ses- sion here all the week, and Is gradually arriving at some of the features which it will propose either in the shape of new laws or amendments to present statutes
 Most important among the recommenda- tons so far decided upon is that looking to the creation of the office of insurance commissioner separate and apart from that of comptroller general. Capt. Will liam A. Wright now holds both positions. The committee will also urge the creation of the office of state fire marshal
 The committee thinks the work of the insurance department has grown to such an extent that the separation of the of fees is now practically imperative It is also of the opinion that the insurance commissioner should be given additional powers: that he should have authority to refuse to grant a license in his disere- tion ard to revoke licenses when the sol vency of companies becomes doubtful, in order that thorough protection may be assured to the polieyholder.
 Ids primary object in amending the laws is tc rid the state of all wildcat in surance schemes which make their period ical appearance and which always result in many persons being swindled. This las been found to be the case in several instances with fraternal and asse Ssment insurance organizations with regard to which the Georgia laws are strangely lax. There are many substantial com panies of this class in the state, but every now and then one crops up whose only object .s to gather in the coin and then go out of business. There is nothing to stop the granting of licenses to this class of companies under the present law, nor are they required to make any deposit with the state as are other classes Of comps nies fer the protection of thelr pol icyholders.
 The duties of a fire marshal would be tn travel over the state and inspect build nes to see that they conformed in their construction Co legal requirements; to rec ommcnd laws looking to safety in con struction and 10 prosecute all cases of ar son II is believed that the creation of this office, together with q proper per- formance of the duties which attach to 1t, would result In material reduction of the fire insurance rates In the state.

IMPROVEMENT IS QUICKLY NOTICED Mrs. E. H. o Neal Describes the
 Symptoms of Trouble SHE SECURES RELIEF
Change Produced in Her Condition Was Very Satisfactory - Highly
 Endorses New Tonic, "Tona Vita"

The most interesting facts in connection with the introduction of the remarkable new tonic, "Tona Vita" in Birmingham are the statements of those who have given the tonic a trial.
 Among such statements is the following by Mrs. F. 1T. ONeal. residing at 1s1, North Nineteenth street, this city. Mrs O'Neal said: T have been a very great sufferer for some time. 1 have been troubled with nervous indigestion; I had no appetite and could not sleep at nights l would feel so tired in the morning that l could scarcely drag my feet along.
 Il have taken a number of different remedies without results until I heard of 'Tona Vita, and it has made such a change in me that I feel like an en- tirely new woman and intend to con tinne it's use until am completely cured, as l certainly believe it will cure me.
 = 'Tona Vita cannot be too highly praised as it certainly works wonders. l gladly recommend it to anyone suffer. ins as I was and know that after giving fl fair trial they will be greatly sur prised at the wonderful change it pro- duced in so short a time"
 One of the representatives who are ex- plaiEins the nature of the new tonic to the public at the Collier Drug eompanys store. 109-111 North Twentieth street, be- tween the hours of a. m. and p. m. in speaking of Mrs. O'Neafs statement, said Few of the public fully realize as yet what a wonderful tonic 'Tona Vita is. In Europe a similar prepara- tion has been indorsed by some of the greatest personages, including the sur geon-general of the French army. but the tonic is new to the United States. However, before we leave this city the thousands of half sick men and women who are victims of nervous debility and the general i'll health that this disease produces, will realize what blessing the tcnic is.
 "Chief among the symptoms of ner- vous debility are lack of energy, stom- ach and bowel troubles. nervousness, de- pression of spirits, sleeplessness. little vitality, headaches, dull pain in the back, poor circulation, cold feet. dizzy spells. spots before the eyes and uneasy sleep. To any individual suffering from these symptoms 'Tona Vita is a positive relief. Few people realize what a tremendous number among those who live in the larger cities are afflicted with nervous debility, in a more or less aggravated form. Nor does the public realize the symptoms of this modern plague when they see them. Most of the so-called kidney trouble, nearly all indigestion and fully half of the headaches in the larger cities of the United States can be att tributed solely to nervous debility

CARNEGIE REGRETS
 PEARSON'S DEATH

New York, April 2s.-tSpecial)-A Carnegie was sincerely sorry to hear of the death of Dr. D. K. Pearson. the man who had actually given away his fortune of millions.
 "Dr. Pearson," said MT. Carnegie, real ized the supreme pleasure in giving. The rich men of the world now generally have come to my way of thinking. They know the truth of the proposition that 1t is more blessed fo give than to receive. Dr.. Pearson was one of many whose rule of life was that the most pleasure to be gotten from great wealth is in the wise use of it for the benefit of humanity.
 "I am glad 10 see that in nearly every newspaper these days there appears some article telling of gifts by wealthy men for humanltarian purposes. It is good to read them."

Great Mass Meeting Of Fruit and
Truck Growers.

On Saturday October 10, 1912,
a mass meeting of fruit and
truck growers Of the states of
Texas Arkansas, Louisiana and
Oklahoma Will be held at Dallas,
Texas, during the Fair for the
purpose of organizing Fruit
and Truck Exchange to enable
our growers to get fair price
for their products by a proper
system of distribution and sale
in the Northern and Eastern mar.
ketS. During the past season,
these four states shipped fruit
and produce to the amount of 40
900 solid carloads, besides mil
lions of packages by express.
In many cases the growers did
not get enough out OF the ship
ments to pay the freight; in hun
dredS of cases, not enough to
pay fair profit on the work and
expence of growing these pro
ducts. The growers lost mil
lions of dollars and the consum.
ers lost the opportunity to buy,
because of the lack OF facilities
to properly distribute the great
crop of the Southwest This
meeting has been called by Col
+. u, Holland, president of Farm
and Ranch, which is a guarantee
that everything that can be done
to make the meeting u success
Every grower. whether he has
one acre or Il thousand acres in
cultivation is invited to be pres
ent, and it is hoped with large
attendance TO organize an asSo-
citation such as the California and
Florida growers have, which
will give every grower reason
able hope Of a profit on the sale
of his products before he spends
his time and money in planting
them. On account of the Texas
State Fair, low round trip rates
will be in effect from all points
in this territory Let every
grower and the official Of every
local association attend
Don't worry; don't over buy;
