began to use it. Although it was In

my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with little bread and butter and
a cup of hot water, till I was wise

ON A PRoFIT-sHAR'NG BASIS.
Managers Offer Most Generous, Still
1t Is Possible That the Greaser
Rejected It.

A common method Of dealing WIN
greaser laborers in the new state OF
New Mexico Is to have them work on
shares. A somewhat original appilca-
ton Of the system is told on Wen
known manager of one OF the 3o.ooo-
acre ranch corporations.
A certain Mexican had been &C.
costing the manager several times
and asking for Job.
"Well. come over to my office, the
boss told him finally, "and maybe l
can fix up something with you.
Now l need a lot of postholes dug,
he began.
What will you give mel" asked the
Mexican.
Well" replied the employer gener>
ously, II will give you half. You can
dig my half on my ranch, and can put
your half wherever you please-pacK
out soft ground for them II you
want to."-Metropolitan Magazine.

TO REGULATE ASSURANCE LAWS
ALE GED IN
SOME FRATERNAL SOCIETIES.
Examiner Says All Officers Handling
Funds of Societies Should Be
Under Bonds.

Austin, Tex.-New legislation to At
feet the various fraternal and bene-
fetal life insurance organizations do
ing business in Texas is recommend
ed by George P. Warner, the State
examiner Of fraternal and beneficiary
assurance In his annual report filed
with Commissioner Gill for the de-
partment of insurance and banking

ner's investigations have convinced
him that a law to provide bonds for
all officials Of such organizations hav-
ing aught to do with the funds, Is nee
essary in Texas. In proof of his con-
cites a number of alleged irregularf-
ties and defalcations which he says
were blamable in whole or in part on
officers who were not under bond.
Prevention Of Investment
For another thing, the examiner
thinks that there should be law to
prevent the investment of beneficiary
or fraternal reserve funds by local
lodge officers. He says large num-
Der of these local officers are plainly
without the qualifications for trusts
of this kind He thinks the same law
which applies to the investment OF
funds Of the old line companies In
Texas should also be made to apply
to the fraternal societies and unions
and lodges Of such orders of the
State In this connection the exam
liner found that most Of the colored
fraternal organizations had too many
scattered offices, and he thinks that
the laws should be put on the statute
books to compel them to centralize
their offices, so that the books and
accounts would be the more readily
available to examiners of the State
department under whose control the
organizations in question have been
placed. Mr.. Warner expresses the
hope in the course of his various rec
lamentations that all the States of
the Union will eventually come to
adopt what is known as the Mobile
law. relating to the investment of in.

The examiner says that he found

that he heard of men soliciting funds
for organizations which had never

solicitors even go so far as to rep

The report was being considered by
Commissioner Gill and it is possible
that some of the recommendations
may be submitted to the next legis
lature.
