Washington, Feb. 3. (I. N. S.)
A combination of many of the largest
life insurance companies in the country
has been effected under the title
of the National Association of Life
Underwriters, and Representative
Kettner of California has introduced a
bill in the house permitting the asso
ciation to incorporate in the District
of Columbia.
Two Californians John Newton
Russell Jr. .and Frank EL McMullen
and an Oregonian Hubert H. Ward of
Portlard are among the representa
tives . of separate corporations listed
in the bill as members of the associa
tion. The association is a voluntary one
and is not for profit, --the bill states.
The purpose of the organisation is to
"advance the best interests of the in
stitution of life insurance throughout
the United States and elsewhere" by
providing a clearing house of infor
mation, a forum for constructive dis
cussion and machinery for coopera
tive action in matters that affect the
life underwriting industry.
Legal Executions
Lead to Murders
Denver, Colo.. Feb. 3. (I. N. S.)
Legal executions provoke more mur
ders than they deter, in the opinion of
Harry B. Tedrow, United States dis
trict attorney for Colorado. This Is
due, Mr. Tedrow told the Denver Civic
Federation, to the power of suggestion
as well as the "base heroism often as
cribed to the condemned man by his
fellows." .
The theory expounded was backed
by a great array of facts and figures
about Colorado crimes,
"There may or may not be a direct
connection between killings by the
state and killings by individuals.
There would appear to be at least
enough to , shatter the theorv that
capital punishment decreases murder,'
said Tedrow.

AVODSCB
SAYS AUTHORITY
Sanitary science has of late mads .
rapid strides with results that are of -;
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal sanita- -
tion of the drainage system of the hu-
man body as it i to the drains of the
bouse. '
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,'
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold.
foul tongue., nasty breath, acid stom- .
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices qf the sys
tem each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag- '
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before J
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone "
phosphate in it to wash, from the stom
ach, liver and bowels the previous
day's indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, ,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans oat all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste end acidity :
and gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot"
water is quietly extracting a large vol-
dim of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of '
all the inside organs. .
The. millions of people who are both
ered with constipation, bilious spells,
tomaefc. trouble, rheumatic stiffness;,
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a Quarter pound of 14me .
stone phosphate from the drug , store
This will cost very little, bat is suffi
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of Internal sani
tation, - . - - - -
