too far. - j
"It ia not fair to the policy holders.

iwe will say, 20 men, just aa well able

carry none. They have made no pro-
'vision to keep their families from be
coming a charge on the state or to
;pay ; off their creditors and continue
jtheir business. The taxes collected on
.(the premiums we pay go for the bene
fit of these men."
' ,:'- Business Increasing.
Regarding the life inauranea sltua-
' jtton today, Mr. Edwards said that the
buaineaa waa never before so great.
!"LUe insurance today," he said, 'Is as
much one of the pillars of society as
js tne DajQKing ousmeas or tne ranroaj
business. The insurance investigations
,'liave dons us no harm. Rather, thv
: j have enormously increased the -buai-v
ness done. If you want a businesN
to prosper, you want to get it talked
about. Now practically every man in
the country thinks he knows something
: about insurance, and aa a consequence
we have done a bigger business dur
ing the past six montha than in ari
leoual lenjrth of tlma before."
Will Goldman and David C. Herrlr.
prominent life insurance men of th:
'city, corroborated this statement, say
Ing that they have done more business
In the past six months than during:
the previous year.
. Mr. Edwards . comes here from Los
Angeles, where he attended the conven
tion of the western life insurance men
He says that he has heard so much
concerning the fine climate of the Pa
cific northwest where a man can live
,and be comfortable for 12 months out
of the year that he had to come up and
eea,for himself. "I want to find out."
he says, "whether or not the stories
are true. If they are not I want to
: copper them."
Will Goldman of the Manhattan Life
Insurance company, took charge of Mr.
Kdwards upon his arrival. The insur
ance men of the city will entertain
liim during the time he is here, and he
will be taken about the city, and pos
sibly out into the country, to see what
sort of a place Oregon is. Tomorrow
night a banquet and reception will be.
given in his honor at the Commercial
C1UD.

TheLaborQuestion
Solved by GoIdDust
The Gold Dust Twins are always looking for work.
They are ready to lift the biggest burden of household labor
from your shoulders and shift it to their own. When it
comes to cleining of .any kind, they are the most willing
and tireless .little Tbusy-bodies you ever knew. They work
without wagei and demand no Thursday afternoons out.
Gold Dust is a necessity in every well-regulated home.
There is no other cleanser which can take its place. Ask
anyone who has ever used it, and they will tell you that
Gold Dust is the greatest boon ever invented for tired
women. Order a package at your grocer's to-day and know
what "easy housework" means.
Do not use Soap, Naphtha, Borax, Soda; Ammonia or
Kerosene with Gold Dust. Gold Dust has all desirable
cleansing qualities in a perfectly harmless and lasting
form. The Gold Dust Twins need no outside help.
