INSURANCE FEES.
State Superintendent Reports Good
Collections for Last Year.

Receipts in the office of the state
superintendent of insurance jumped
nearly $4,000 this year over the rec
ord of a year ago, according to a
statement today by Carey Wilson,
state superintendent. With two days
of the present year remaining, the
fees of the office independent of the
fire marshafs fund, show an increase
of S19,36S.14 over 1914.
For the year ending March 25, 1914
the records showed total fees paid to
the insurance department of $37f,-
437.69. To date the fees of the de-
partment have amounted to $780,
SO5.S3, or ar increase of $19, 36S.14.
1t is probable that the increase will
reach the $4,000 mark. The fees for
both 1914 and 1915 are independent
of the fees paid through the insurance
department for the maintenance of
the state fire marshaFs office.

Advertising as Applied to the Retail
Distribution of Merchandise.
THE dealer who spends too little in
advertising must spend more for per-
sonal salesmanship," said the speaker.
Advertising Reduces Cost.
advertising reduces the cost of dis
tributing merchandise. 1t is u factor
of craftsmanship, and merchandise
we'll advertised is part sold, and re-
duces the cost of personal salesman
ship. 1t costs more to sell unadver-
tised goods. The dealer who makes
Z cents more on an article that is not
known than one of known quality
that he retails for 81, simply guesses
he made more. AS a rule, 1t takes
longer to sell it. 1t has no prestige
that reflects creditably on his store,
and often raises a suspicion with the
customer as to its real merit.
1.-The merchant who gets intensely
interested in his own business VIII
learn, 1 think, that the more he let's
the public run his business, the more
business he will do
The speaker told of the value of
handling goods of known value. He
outlined in brief the Hampton Plan
of creating distinction for the town
by handling nationally advertised
goods of known quality and price

Address by Larimer.
H. c. Larimer, a prominent mer-
chant of Charlton, Iowa, in the course
of a strong address delivered at the
meeting in question advocated the
taking of a business survey OF To-
peka.
IF there could be made a business
survey of Kansas he said, you
would reduce the cost of distribution
of merchandise to the consumers, re-
duce the number of failures, and
make business healthy.
You people as a city will develop
simply as the state of Kansas grows.
Topeka is not simply the people who
live in Topeka. Topeka is just as big
as her influence in the business af-
fairs of the state of Kansas"

OUT OF A SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS

At a meeting of citizens of the
First Ward, it was the consensus OF
opinion that the large section of the
city north of the river, with its
large population and important and
varied interests, should furnish one
member of the city commission and
one member of the Board of Edu-
cation. Having about One-fifth of
the total population and perhaps
similar proportion of the taxable
wealth of the city, it would seem
that such q proposition would not
be unfair or unreasonable.
To this end, this meeting, represent
alive of the general sentiment of the
George Young as its choice for Com
missioner of Streets and Public I'm
provements, and that of j. G. Snediker
for Member of the Board of Education
These gentlemen were selected without
any solicitation on their own part, but
suitable and fit for the respective posi-
lions.
1t is hoped that the citizens of the
other wards of the city will appreciate
the fairness of the proposition en-
bodied in this action and will Join in
two men. for whose fitness and charac-
ter we are ready and willing to vouch.

HEADACHES

Thousands of men and women suffer from
headaches every day, other thousands have
headaches every week or every month, and still
others have headaches occasionally. but not at
regular intervals. The best Doctor is often able
to find the cause of many of these headaches.
and in most other cases, knowing the cause, he
does not know what will remove it, SO as to give
permanent cure. All he can do is to prescribe
the usual pain BELIEVERS, which give temporary
relief, but the headache returns usual, and
treatment is again necessary. If you suffer from
headaches, no matter what their nature, take
Anti-kamnia Tablets, and the results will be salts

them at all druggists in any quantity. 10c worth.

SICK-HEADACHES
Sickle ad ache. the most miserable of all SICK
nesses, loses its terrors when AK Tablets are
taken. When you feel attack coming ON,
