,n.ur.ne. Of Unidentified Companies

Insurance OF OndoUittco SVtHPaHieS
REPORTS have reached this department
which indicate that in few instances
citizens of our State are not giving the
same consideration to their insurance
protection that they do to other impor-
tant affairs of their business. This IS
based on our belief that the protection
of property looking to the indemnifying
of loss from fire Is of most Importance
and should be the subject of the utmost
consideration on the part of the insured.
Protection from fire loss by insur-
ance is one of the basic principles of
sound business. When fire occurs 1t is
often all that stands between us and the
insolvency court. 1t Is becoming more
and more a consideration in the granting
of credit. both by banking institutions
and by manufacturers. This being true
it seems almost inconceivable that for
the saving of a few dollars any business
firm or individual will hazard his firms
or his own future welfare by taking
any chance whatever on the stability of
his insurance protection.
This State has enacted laws which
protect the people in insurance matters,
by compelling companies doing business
in the State to comply with certain con-
ditions looking to the solvency OF the
company and making the company the
defendant before our courts in case an
unadjustable difference exists instead of
being obliged to go to the home state of
the company.
Companies operating in this State pay
tax towards the maintenance of our
State. This department is maintained to
exercise a supervisory oversight over
companies writing business here. to see
that they comply with the legal require
ments of the statute and to see that their
solvency is unquestioned.
Therefore If the business men OF our
state believe in the principles OF State
government and in the State as whole
they should seriously consider the matter
in it's entirety before placing or allowing
to be placed any insurance other than
in companies that are admitted to write
business within the State by this departl
ment."

A Valuable Suggestion

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other

q tremendous amount OF work in re-

During the winter months especially,
when We live an indoor life, the kid.

when needed, as we take less exer-

more rich heavy food. thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than

Many physicians claim that an
