ILLEGAL POLICIES
REQUIRED HERE
Major Fort Furnishes Another An
gle OF Fire Insurance Situa-
ton Locally

Not only are the fire insurance
rates here high but the book of fire
insurance rates for Americus carries
instructions that the IS per cent CO.
insurance clause is required in all
policies covering either buildings or
contents, or both, excepting only
buildings occupied solely for dwell
ing purposes and their contents.
The effect Of the rs per cent CO.
insurance clause is this; Suppose
You have a storehoues with $4,000.
You buy $2500 policy. Later you
have a fire loss lof $4,000. How much
insurance could you collect? If your
policy contains the rs per cent co.
insurance clause you would be en-
titled to collect $1,000. The insur-
ance companies figure against you in
this manner: Under the rs per cent
co-lnsurance clause you agree to in
sure your property to a full rs per
cent of its value. In the event you
90 not carry that much insurance you
then become a co-insurer and must
stand your proportion of the loss. I'm
DER the above Illustration you would
De a co-insurer to the extent Of
$00OO' In the settlement, the insur-
&nce company could say: You are
carrying $4,000 and we are carrying
$500, the loss is $4,000, therefore,
our proportion of the loss is one
third, or $1,000.
In the case of the Fireman's Fund
insurance Co. VS.. Pekor decided in
l098' It was held by the Supreme
court that the rs per cent co-insur-
anee clause above mentioned was le-
gal. " -
= However, in 1912 the legislature
" Georgia established an insurance
oepartment with authority to pre-
SVLioe standard forms of policies and
making it unlawful for any company

Coc0anut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair
In good condition, be careful what
you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and is very harmful. Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
Is pure and entirely greaseless). is
much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three tea
spoonfuls Of Mulsified in a cup
or glass with little warm water.
then nnoisten the hair with water
and rub 1t In. 1t will make an
abundance of rich. creamy lather,
and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
OF dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
Oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and It leaves it fine and
silky bright. fluffy and easy to
manage. 49,
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
OIL. shampoo at any drug store. 1t
Is very cheap, and few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulsifled.

lBs The Associated Press

Paris, May 10 (by the Associated
Press. 1.-The German reply to the
reparations note of April Is, which
as been received by the reparations
commission, protests the good will
or the German government, but
pleads the material impossibility of
imposing sixty billion marks new
taxes before May 81, or complying
with all the conditions laid down
on March 81.
The German government, the re-
ply says, is convinced of the neces-
sity of covering expenditure with
out further monetary initiation.
Having regard, however, for the
German economic situation and
financial obligations abroad, 1t is
considered inevitable that import
ant payments due by Germany In
foreign currency cannot be met
without the aid of foreign loans.
While it will be impossible in
view of recent heavy increases in
taxation to impose sixty billion
marks fresh taxation before May
81, as the commission has de-
manded," the reply continues.
Germany is prepared before that
date to submit to the commission a
complete scheme to cover expendi-
ture with further monetary infla-
ton"
