LOW FIRE LOSSES IN LADYSMITH
City Has Per Capita Less Fer The
Past Four Yoars of Only $1.75

| Madison, Wis June 9.-Ladysmith
had a fire loss of $747S.46 during
1914 The sworn reports Of the in
surance companies to Commissioner
of Insurance Herman L. Ekern Civ
| ing these figures also show that
these companies collected $14,339 40
in premiums from the policy-holders
of this city. This means $191.70 paid
in premiums for each 500 returned
for losses. During 1911 to 1914, in
elusive, the total premiums paid in
this city amounted to $49,785.06 and
the total returned for losses was
SIG, ,43271, which makes a premium
payment of $30295 for each 500
returned for losses.
During the four years, 1911 to 1914
inclusive, the losses paid in Lady
smith per 800 of premiums collect
ed averaged $33C0. The average an
nual fire loss per capita was only
.$175.
In Bruce, during the same four
years, the per capita fire loss av-
eraged 1929 and the losses paid
per 800 of premiums amounted to
$54.90. During 1914 the insurance
companies lost on Bruce, paying
losses of $6,627.85 and collecting
only $3,445.38 in premiums.
When it comes to fire losses our
old town, Prentice, is right up in
the front rank and the insurance
companies arc certainly not fatten-
ing their dividends there. For the
past four years, the companies have
paid $24750 in losses in Prentice for
every $100 they collected there in
premiums. Premiums amounted to1
,$8,31458 and $20,582.95 was paid out
for losses. Prentice had an annual
average fire loss per capita, for the
four years, of $8.49.
The insurance companies figures
are the amounts which they paid
out for losses. There will be diff
ferences between their figures and
the fire department records in that
losses often exceed the amount of
insurance On the other hand, the
insurance companies pay many small
losses for which the fire department
is not called out. Differences also
arise from the fact that the fire
department records are made up
from the losses as they occur, while
the insurance company records are
made up at the time losses are paid,
which often would cause the losses
incurred in one year to be reported
as paid the succeeding year. Cases
have also been found where the in
surance companies have included
losses outside the city. This is an
injustice to the city in the excess
losses so shown, and the figures
are now being investigated to cor
rect any errors.
''The 315 cities and villages in
Wisconsin having fire departments
had a population in 1910 of 1,199,518.
paid $6,701, ,065s in premiums and re-
, ceived in return $3,152,65 for loss
es. The people thus paid in premiums
$21254 for each 500 returned for
| losses. From 1911 to 1914, in
elusive, the premiums paid were
$25 ,949, ,557 and the losses paid were

ments $230.1S for each 500 returned

per capita loss in 1914 was $2.63,
and for the four years $2.33

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood IS a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
cree with an organism unftte: for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and g distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming thar
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF
beauty. The unexplainable thing IL
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting frvm
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii persist in goirg blindiy to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
COMPOUND, q most valuable tonic anc
invigorstOr Of the female organism.
