Compy. “During the present Insurance investigation in New York, Mr. Hughes, the counsel for the investigating committee, called the Actuary of the Mutual Benefit L,ife Insurance Company, of New Jersey, to the stand and asked if the expenses of his company were not about 25 per cent, of the income like those of the other concerns under investigation; and when the Actuary replied that the expenses were only 15 per cent, of the income, Mr. Hughes excused him from further testimony, and made no inquiries about irregular deals and rake offs, such as have been keeping the officials of the big concerns on the anxious seat.” From an article appearing in The Literary Digest, Oct. 7th, 1905. : For Rates and Specimen Policies, see Jones J.

Apprehensive of Fresh Outbreaks the Governor General Has Promised tc Place Military Guards Over Home less Jews—Business at a Standstill. Odessa. Nov. 8.—Outward calm baa ivlurned here, but the tension is still great. Reports that the Jews are pre paring for ttrrible vengeanse on the Christians are being industriously cir culated among the lowest and most ig norant classes, and it is feared they may lead to a rescrudescence of an archy. These reports declare that the Jews intend to blow up the church es and distribute poisoned foodstuff.- to the Christians. Prefect Neidhart, to whom much ol the responsibility of last week’s oc currences is attributed, is still in o. flee, despite urgent demands for his removal. The prosecutor general has invite all eye-witnesses of the outrages to give testimony at the forthcoming in vestigation. Apprehensive of fresh outbreaks the city councuk has secured the promise of the governor general to place mil itary guards at. all places where the numbers of Jews recently rendered homeless are now being sheltered. The university has sent three profes sors to St. Petersburg to present to Count Witte a full account of last week’s atrocities with a demand for Me Instam removal of the authors. The municipality, the university off clals and the barristers are co-operat ing in .arranging for an independent inquiry as they are mistrustful of offi cial investigation. The chamber of commerce has of ficially announced that the spirit trade as foreign houses have suspenateC^ ness with the local merchant beciKiJ^ e of the dangerous situation in the towm The foreigners, the chamber declared, feared to deal even with the wealthiest merchants who may at any moment be killed or ruined. Grain is purchased only when on board of a ship ready to sail. The American, British and other con aula have all sent interesting detailed accounts of the recent events to their governments, explaining the real char acter of the outbreaks and naming ihi supposed authors. As an indication of the wide area of the disturbances, the Glaziers cor poration has ascertained that over 70, 000 window panes were smashed. Governor General Kaulbars denies the report that he hns been transferr ed to the governor generalship of Fin land. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [Address communications for this col umn to P. O. Box 304.1 Never was there a season when warnings against extremes were more needed, but such warnings are likely to have little effect. There are women who will buy the difficult colors and the trying lines in hat. frock and coat as surely as models with these characteristics are presented, women whose only idea of something chic is something striking and bizarre. But on the other hand we shall see women of taste more luxuriously and exquisite ly dressed than at any time within, recent years. A very lovely shade of green ofj faint whitish tone, with the slightest tint of blue in it, a color that might well be dubbed ice green, is among the light pastel shades shown in cloth, Henrietta and silk. A cashmere frock in this shade was chic and was simple. The skirt was circular and untrimmed save for short points and straps piped* in green taf- teta matching the cashmere and set horizontally around the skirt bottom. The bodice was cut low r at the throat to show a little chimisette and collar of lace, and was slit in points on each shoulder to show lace underneath. * « » Mr. and Mrs. John Garrett, of King’s Mountain, were the guests this week of their son.

Many Persons Have Catarrh of Kidneys, Or Catarrh of Bladder and Don't Know It. President Ncwhof and War! Correspondent Richards Were Promptly Cured By Pe ru na. Mr. C. B. Newhof, 10 Delamare street, ' Albany, N. Y., President Monteflore Club, writes: ••Since my advanced age / find that / have been frequently troubled with urinary ailments. The bladder seemed irritated, and my physician said that it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold which would be difficult to over come on account ot my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring to believe that / would be helped, but / found to my relief that / soon began to mend. The irritation gradually subsided and the urinary difficulties passed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now for the past seven months, f enjoy my 1 meals, sleep soundly, and am as well as I was twenty years ago. I give all praise to Peruna.”—C. B. Newhof. Suffered From Catarrh of Kidneys, Threatened With Nervous Collapse, . Cured by Pe-ru-na. Mr. F. B. Richards,609 E Street,N.W., Washington, D. C., War Correspondent, writes: ‘‘Exactly six years ago I was ordered to Cuba as staff correspondent of the New York Sun. I was in charge of a Sun Dispatch boat through the Spanish American War, The effect of the trop ical climate and the nervous strain showed plainly on my return to the states. Lassitude, depression to the verge of melancholia, and incessant kidney trouble made me practically an invalid. This undesirable condition con tinned, despite the best of treatment. Finally a brother newspaper man,who like myselt had served in the war, in duced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna. 1 did so. In a short time the lassitude left me, my kidneys resumed a healty condition, and a complete cure was effected. I cannot too strongly recommend Peruna to those suffering with kidney trouble. To-day I am able to work as hard as at any time in my life, and the examiner for a leading in surance company pronounced me an “A risk.” In Poor Health Over Four Years. Pe-ru-na Only Remedy of Real Benefit. Mr. John Nimmo, 215 Lippincott Bt., Toronto, Can., a prominent merchant of that city and also a member of the Masonic order, writes: “I have been in poor health generally for over four years. When I caught a bad cold last winter it settled in the bladder and kidneys, causing serious trouble. I took two greatly advertised HI, A PRES. C. B. NEWHOF, Suffered From Catarrh of Bladder. kidney remedies without getting the desired results. Peruna is the only remedy which was really of any benefit to me. I have not had a trace of kidney trouble nor a cold in my system.” Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that It contains no narcotics of any kind. Po* runa is perfectly harmless. It can bo used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro duce temporary results. It is per manent in its effect. It has no bad effect npon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by r^ moving the canse of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a nar cotic nature.
