nm OMAIIA DAILY EEE: TITCTRSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, Y907. mm OF DISEASE AND SUFFERING No truth is more forcibly manifested la physical life than the old saying1 'like begets like;" for just as the offspring of healthy ancestry are blessed with pure, rich blood, insuring health and strength, bo the children of blood tainted parentage inherit a polluted circulation to burden their existence with disease and suffering. Swollen glands about the neck, brittle bones, weak eyes, fiale, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers and general poor health, are he usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with the scrofulous genus and tubercular matter that, from birth, life is made miserable with suffering. Others who inherit the disease succeed in holding the trouble in check during young, vigorous life, but when the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, and especially after a spel of sickness, the ravages of the disease will commence and in a great many cas3 terminate in Consumption. S. S. S. is the very best treatment for Scrofua. It renovates the entire circulation and drves PURELY VEGETABLE S. S.

R. E, Folk, Insurance commis sioner of Tennessee and president of the national convention of Insurance commis sioners, sent the resolution, which Is as follows: Whereas, It la the opinion of the Insur ance commlsslorers In attendance at the meeting Informally held at New York City this lst day of November, la7, that pres ent market quotations do not fairly repre sent the true present value of securities held by Insurance corporations and re quired to be reported In their annual finan cial statements as of December 31 next; therefore. It Is the sense of this conference that Insurance companies In making their an nual statements (or the preetnt year In the various departments, In determining actaal market value of securities as of CUT THIS OUT Fine Seoelpt for the Quick Congas and Cold. Core of "Mix half ouncee of Concentrated oil of pine with two ounces of glycerine and half a pint of good whiskey: oliake well each time and use In doss of a tea spoonful every four hours. This Is the formula prescribed by the renowned throat and lung specialist who established the camp for consumptives In the pine woods of Maine and whose remarkable cures attracted wide-spread attention among the medical fraternity. He declares that It will henl the lungs and cure any cough that Is curable and will break up an acute cold In twenty four hours.

It Is also said to be an excellent remedy for lumbago and all forms of urlo acid rheumatism. For this purpose It Is taken raw, a few drops on sugar night and morning. December SI, 1907, should not be required to confine themselves to present market quotations. We believe that the valuations as reported by the companies for the vear 1908 more nearly represent the true value of such securities under normal business conditions. Insurance Deputy Pierce has made no decision In the matter as yet. Lindsay Has av Plnn. H. C. Lindsay, treasurer of the republican state committee, has been very much In terested In the discussion going on over the publication of the receipts of campaign committees.
