Insurance Revenue Increases.

Raleigh.-The report and recon-
mendations of Commissioner of Insur-
ance James R. Young to Governor
Beckett to be transmitted to the leg
islature was fled with the governor.
The report shows a steady increase
in the revenue of the department, the
increase averaging about s15, 600 per
annum. The receipts this fiscal year
will be about 1866. 900.
The commissioner reports the build
ing inspection laws. fire marshal reg
%ulations. fire escape statutes and 9TH
er regulations for public safety work
ing well. He recommends that an
allowance be made for vigorous pros
ecutions of violators of the statute as
to investment and promotion COM
panies as a protection to the people
of the state.
The commissioner recommends a
number of minor changes in the
states standard fire insurance policy
which he says will become the stand
ard policy for most if not all the
states of the union. He would have
the law as to changes in capital stock
and charities subject to approval by
the Insurance Department made to
apply to foreign companie. where the
home state does not maintain a like
regulation. There is recommendation
that whole family insurance be al
lowed for fraternal insurance. He
recommends the enactment of a
workman's compensation law proper
ly ~safeguarded.
AS to building aid loan ~associa-
tons, he recommends a more clear
statutory expression as to their an
nual licensing. with nominal fees
charged to he used in the expenses of
the examinations. He would have an
additional deputy clerk to examine the
building and loan associations.
He reports the insurance value of
state property to be about $1,000. 900.
and that the allowance made for
premiums OF this insurance permits
only about 80 per CEN insurance on
this property. There should be an in
crease of $1,000 or $40. 600. During
the past year the state paid out for
insurance on state property $4,000
and received from the companies for
fire losses $4,000.

About Cardui.

Tallapoosa, Ga.-Mrs. Sallie Edison,
Of this place, writes: II was in very
poor health, all rundown, nervous,
had fainting spells, dizziness and heart
f2tteT!ng. 1 had these symptoms US
ually at my . times. I had a
very hard time, working for seven
years in a hotel after my father died.
I had to support family of four. l
read the Birthday Almanac and
thought 1 would begin taking Cardui.
I received good benefit from it. l am
sure it will do all that it claims to do.
1 took three or four bottles before it
began to show effects. After that I
improved rapidly and gained in health
and strength. 1 took nine bottles in
all. This is the only time I have
taken it. l vas down to 10S pounds
and I gained to 100. I felt like a new
woman. l couldn't sleep before and
had to be rubbed, I would get so nerv-
and numb. And all this was
stopped by Cardui."
The true value of a medicine can be
determined only by the results OBJ
tanned from its actual use. The thou
sands of letters we have received
every year for many years from
grateful users of Cardui, are powerful
tributes'to its worth and effectiveness.
If you suffer from womanly ailments,
try Cardui, the woman's tonic.-Adv.

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful e]iminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolyes uric
acid as hot water does sugar..
