INVESTING INSURANCE
FUNDS

At the December. 1919. meeting of
the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents, it was reported that there
are 53,221,457, life insurance policies
in force in this country. More than
sSO0,000,0o0 of the assets of these com
panies are invested in electric light
and power company securities, not to
speak OF the vast amount of securities
held in gas. telephone, railroad and
electric railway companies. The sta
bility and worth of the policies issued
by the companies largely depends upon
the worth of the securities held and
every policy holder is an indirect
owner of such securities, as well as
having an interest in the prosperity OF
the companies issuing them.

Effects of CONSERVATION

Constipation causes a stoppage of the
sewerage system of the body The poi

numerous disorders. No one can af-

Chamberlain Tablets will afford re-
lief. Avoid drastic cathartics as they
take too much water out of the system
and their use is likely to be followed by

said she calculated II was on the

said II was the Merrimac! Then
she cut in real quick and said he

into telling the truth. But finally
Mrs. Doolittls could not wait any,
longer. and she asked him what
Holstein cows had to do with Il. He
looked surprised and said ne

He said that for any kind Of

certainly . looney to think We
would believe all that stun. She
said It was all very well about sep
arator teams and corn contests, but
he proved himself q liar right on
when he talked about Chicago high
schools. She said anybody but the
gooneys in this village would know
there was no such things ~ high

got to Ban Francisco and Salt Lake

II she really thought they might,
and We could hardly keep from
laughing and spelling It all.
But MT. Ramsey said he thought
the day Of the handmade scalp had
passed. in this era of machinery.
Then he went on to say that in

there were lots OF old men who had
farmed all their lives and they

Then he said he knew about this
because his school, the University
Of Ohio, ut Omaha, had won the
cotton-growing championship two
years hand running. and that he
himself had played hslfback on the
separator team. He said the rea-
son ths separator team did not win

done better than that. Habakuk
Wilson said he was right. And

Then one time Habakuk was ask
ing Ramsey about the schools In
Chicago and those places and
whether they teamed the children
to school the way they do here, and
Ramsey said no. they brought tho
