Your Child's Health
Your First Thought

If you have children, naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong, healthy constitutions The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp-
toms of the many common ailments
Perhaps they are weakly and thin, or
grow too fast, thus sacrificing
strength. These and other apparently
minor ailments may be the forerun-
ner to a weak constitution for life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which is essentially chill
dren's tonic. First of ALL it will
properly care for the child's stom-
ach. 1t will also improve the appe-
tite, and will add strength to the other
organs of the body. In cases of thin
or impure blood it incheases the
number of red corpuscles enabling the
enriched blood to keep the body
healthy and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop is that of a dis
ordered stomach, leading to an i'm
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble is due to parasites in the in
testinal tract. To correct such trou-
BILE, Jaynes Tonic Vermifuge is un-
surpassed.
For more than eighty years millions
of children have been restored to
health through the use of this tonic.
Insist upon Jayne's; accept no other.

pointed out that his company ex-
pected a heavy loss at the time of the
Iroquois fire here but that only thir-
ty policies were paid, amounting in
all to $4,000. He said, however,
that had even half of the policy-hold-
ers carried large insurance the COM

Impossible to Estimate Amount.
1T is impossible for anybody to
make an estimate of the amounts
which insurance companies will be
compelled to pay out either in Omaha
or down in Indiana and Ohio" de-
clared Jay H. Emerson, general agent
of the New York Life insurance COM
pany 1T will be weeks before even
the faintest estimates can be made
possible"
zone of the seasons why it is i'm
possible to estimate the losses is the
fact that there is no way here or
reckoning the amounts carried by the
Victims" said one official. "Our
company claims that one in every
100 persons has a policy in our COM
pany If 5000 persons were killed
according to this average, there
would be fifty claims to be paid In
the flooded distict. If these policies
ran from $1,000 to $4,000, the loss
would be negligible. If, on the other
hand, several of them amounted to
100000 and upward, there would be
cause for concern.
80 you see. there is absolutely no
way of estimating the loss which any
one company will suffer. 1t is need
less to say. however, that If the deaths
run up into the thousand and the
destruction of property runs far up
into millions of dollars the amounts
to be paid out by the companies col
lectively will be far in advance of the
total amount of property destroyed

HEALTHY BABY IS
PRECIOUS BLESSING
To Make 1t Healthy and Keep II
Healthy Use Reliable Baby
Laxative,

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be brought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those VINO are
already convinced of its merits buy
the dollar size.
It's mildness makes 1t the ideal med
icine for children, and it Is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t Is sure in its
effect and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and its frequent
use does not cause it to lose its eff
feet, as is the case with so many 9TH
er remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, indigestion. bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc, among them

says: II never saw such rapid i'm
provement in the health of anyone.
Syrup Pepsin Is a wonderful remedy
and / shall never be without it again"
Thousands keep DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin constantly in the house, for
every member of the family can use
it from infancy to old age. The users
of Syrup Pepsin have learned to avoid
cathartics, salts, mineral waters, pills
and other harsh remedies for they do

INSURANCE LOSS
IN The FLOOD
NOT AVAILABLE

Chicago, April l. - Chicago in
surance officials declared that 1t
would be impossible to estimate how
hard the companies have been hit by
the tornadoes, storms and floods
throughout the middle west. The
smaller local and Industrial compan-
les will suffer most and these in some
instances may go under in Indiana
and Ohio. Life, accident and fire in
surance companies will be hit the
hardest. Very few fire insurance pol
icies contain clauses covering floods,
and unless the owners of many of the
destroyed homes carried cyclone in
surance, their property will be a to-
tai loss.
Very little of the insurance in Ohio
and Indiana passes through the Chi
cago agencies, and it is impossible to
estimate here the amounts carried in
the flooded sections.
Hard Hit in Omaha.
The companies here believe that
they have been hit hardest In Oma-
ha, where the tornado moved its way
which the holders of large policies re-
sided
The extent to which the companies
will suffer depends upon the collec-
tive amount they carry in the stricken
regions. Indiana, for instance, has
more small local companies than any
other state in the country. These are
capitalized at from $4,000 to $780,
600. and their policy holders reside
within a comparatively small area. If
the sections in which the companies
operate are badly affected and the
loss of life is heavy, then they are al
most sure to go under.
The larger companies are optimis-
tic and the officials state that the
percentage of policies carried will be
distributed among the companies in
such a way as to make the loss
scarcely noticeable. One official
