charge that Rogers brings. Then he
goes on to promise the people that if
they will elect him he will do all the
work of the office himself that he can,
employing what force is necessary toco

Rogers has been able7 after a month of
hard work I now to find nothing else

; The last number of the Spectator
points out the danger involved in the
rspid multiplication of assessment in
surance companies. The sucocss of i
fjw oompanies has tempted hundreds of
individuals to enter the field, it is
said, and organise oompanies and so to
overdo the buiBiness. fli thing is said
against! the assessment plan, bnt bv
reason pi tne very nature of that plan
it would be well for peop e to deal with
it carefully. The Spectator a'so showj
what the regular life companies of this
oountry have done sinoe their organisa
tion. It shows that the polio v-holders
in those oompanies have not only re
ceived back nearly the whole smoui t of
their contributions, but have bad a sum
carried to their credit whioh shows a very
oonsiderab'e profit, upon their invest
ments. In addition, the policy holders
hive been insured during the whole pe-
rivu ui hueir connection wiw tae van
ous companies, so that their insurance
nroner has reallv cost them nothing.
Certainly no scheme of 'fiaanoe oould
giye better results than this. It ap
pears that the American life insurance
companies from their commencement to
December 31, 1885, reoeived in pre-

There is something tangible and sub
stantial in the assets of the rcgmlar com-
panies, and ths record of payments to
policy-holders is 'certainly .something
that can be pointed to with pride. It ap
pears further that the regular companies
have ptid but IS 2 percent of their total
income for maBsgement, an economy of
administration whioh Ui bo far as We
know, unsurpassed Ihe whole show
ing of the Spectator is most . creditable
and indicative of the great strength of
the regular life companies of tho ooun
try, and the logio it enforces is that the
people will do well to stick to such
companies. j '

This is a very important stop and will

for proposals by private parties to erect

Are the American People be
coming: a Natloai of . i
Lunatics?
Tfco Frlarlittnl Iiomm In tty
ciiw ay NcrrwiacM mja.il Ble u eg
lnM
The increase of insanity in America during
the last ten yean has been, mere thaa Bfty
per-cent The largest and finest pubUe
bnOdinRS recently erected hare been for the
care rt lunatios, and they are all 114 to
their rnlleot capacity. Theee facts are ap
palling. They show that something most
be done speedily to prexent this Increase or
we shall become a nation of lunatics, One
of the tn-paU'it Cannes of insanity is low of
steep. Physicians say that when persons
fail to sleep for four nights they are On the
verge of iuwinity. And yet narcotics are
dangerous. It is only when the body is well
that perfect sleep can be secured. A com
mittee of uhvuiciana, that recently inves
tigated thin subject, found the lack ef life
force in the system brought about more
nerrounnesH. more sleeplenmicss, and more
madness than any other known cause."
With theso attested facts before ue, we
ean easily see that only by adding to the
vital force can hoalth be retained, disease
aroided. and death postponed. This Oa
onlv be done, however, by th as of a
strong toning power, and for this purpose
nothing has ever equaled Volina CordilaL
It is not designed as a oure-aU bnt as a ufe-
enter. It takes th system when it is at low
ebb and brings it back to vigor. R prevents
the eo i ling on of debility. It quiets the .
nerv. n and strengthens the muscles so that
sleep U not only possible but refreshing. ;
If our people desire their health un
impaired, in spite of bad water, malarial in
fiuntc s and other health enemies that
8ii rmund them, they must have some standard
remedy that imparts vigor, while adding
strength. This is a subject which calls for
most serious snd immediate attention, and
one that cannot be postponed nor neglected.
The Volina Cordial above refered to, u a re
cently discovered medical compound made
into a pleasant tasting Cordial, eo pleasant
yon hardlr imagine yon are taking medicine.
Since its introduction a marked effect has
bees found, by critical observers, upon
those persona who 'have used . it,, and it is
absolutely contributing more to ebeck: a err- :
oosness, debility, insomnia Bleeplasanesaand
insanity than any other known agency. As
such, its value is ihes usable.
