GUARD TO PROTECT
Line, SAYS WILSON

Washington, Aug. President Will
son has informed Democratic senators
he intends to leave the national guard
on the Mexican border until Carranza
proves his ability to protect the Unit
ed States against aggression from vii
lista or other bandits.
The president told the senators the
guard had been called out to meet an
emergency in the relations with Car
rama, but now that the emergency no
longer existed he had found it neces-
sary to put the militia to work as q
supplementary force to the regular
army, to protect the border against
raiders.
One or two Of the senators suggest
ed that if the army Is too small con-
gress should increase it to the re-
quired strength. The president said
he was opposed to this plan because
he believed that within a few weeks
or months at the most Carranza will
have sufficient power to do the work
Republicans. when they heard Of
the presidents position with respect
to the maintenance Of the guard on
the border, said it was outrageous.

! Experiment

If you suffer from backache; head
ache or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning;
if the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys
often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Ladysmith residents desire more
convincing proof of their effective
ness than the statement of Lady
smith citizen who has used them and
willingly.
e. A. Kirvan, City Clerk, 31S Wor-
den Ave-, Ladysmith, says: Il hav-
emit used Doan's Kidney Pills as
many people have or to any great
extent, but / have taken them suffi-
GENTLY to know that they are good
One box of Doan's Kidney Pills re-
moved trouble from my kidneys and
though several years have since
passed, l haven't had any further
signs of the complaint"

his regiment, where the heaviest
resistance from the intrenched Mexl-
cans was expected. In the charge he
had proceeded part way up the slope,
and was in the act of waving his
sword to inspirit his company when
a bullet struck him down. His men
continued the charge and gloriously
routed the foe, while Quarles was
borne dying to an adjacent hacienda.
Here after assuring his general that
he was proud to give his life for his
country, he expired. His body was
brought to Kenosha, where it was in
tered amid imposing ceremony.

Total loss and expense $456, 1856, Isl 90
Although these figures seem large
they make no allowance for loss due
to interruption of business, loss OF
life and limb or many other things.
They will also be found typical of the
statistics for same items in subse-
quent years.
All know, that the taxpayers pay
| for the Waterworks and for the
fire department equipment and main
tenance, and that as buildings and
other taxable property are destroyed
the rest of the property must pay a
higher rate of tax for the time being,
but. the erroneous impression still
prevails that insurance companies
pay for fire losses.
This foolishly assumes that the in
surance companies are alchemists
manufacturing gold and distributing
lit gratuitously to unfortunate losers
by fire.
Instead of this they really collected
| for the year 1907 about 215 million
dollars for fire losses and 145 mil
lion dollars more for expenses of
doing business. The companies are
collectors and distributors and the
public pays them for their work and
investment by the way Of insurance
premiums.
In one year the public paid nearly
half billion dollars for fire losses
and expenses. This included many
| crooked fire losses and more of them
| due to almost criminal carelessneSs
as we'll as the honest, non-prevent-
able losses.
| Even the man who carries his own
risk" does not escape paying insur-
ance, tho in an indirect and more
concealed manner
The producer of, and the dealer in
raw materials, the manufacturer, the
jobber and wholesaler and the re-
taller all carry insurance, and the
premiums are added to the price of
| the products each has to sell, the
same as any other legitimate bust
ness expense. Thus the purchaser of
a hat, pair of shoes, a suit OF
clothes, a piece of furniture Or any
thing else pays not only one but sew
eral items of insurance.
The community pays for every act
Of the incendiary and every one of
the many acts of the careless, and
| these needless losses mean higher
rates of insurance.
When the community fully realizes
these facts, it will help to convict
and mete out proper punishment to
| the "firebugs," waste no sympathy
on the criminally careless, and will
further aid the state fire marshal
and the local fire department in their
fire prevention work, whose sole aim
practically is the reduction OF fire
losses and insurance rates.
The summary of it all is, that in
| surance is a tax which the public
pays, and the magnitude of such tax
levy depends largely upon the will
ingness of each individual ito sweep
before his own door"
Will you help reduce this tax?
