BUS AND TRUCK OWNERS FIGHT STATE REGULATION C. of C. Upholds Bill to Give Service Commission Control. Opposition to the Moorhead bill to place motor busses and trucks under the regulation of the public service commission was voiced by motor bus officials, truck and wholesale shippers at a hearing of the Senate Roads Committee. “We do not think we can get fair treatment from the commission," said S. C. Hadden, secretary of the Allied Motor Commerce. H. E. Johns of La Porte, president of Indiana bus men, said regulation was unfair until bus lines were firmly established. Indianapolis wholesale grocers said trucks were almost a necessity. Senator Robert B. Shirley, Democrat, a member of the committee, opposed regulation as a. blow to rural transportation. George H. Mosser of the State Chamber of Commerce favored the bill.

BACK ACHED TERRIBLY Mrs. Robinson Tells How She Found Relief by Taking Lydia £. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Amarillo,Tex. —“My back was my greatest trouble.lt would ache so that

it would almost kill me and I would have cramps. I suffered in this way about threeyears; then a lady friend suggested that I try Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I have had better health since, keep house and am able to do my work.l recoin-

mend the Vegetable Compound to my friends as it has certainly given me great relief. ” —Mrs.C. B. Robinson, 608 N. Lincoln St., Amarillo, Texas. The Vegetable Compound is a splendid medicine for women. It relieves the troubles which cause such symptoms as backache, painful times, irregularity, tired ams worn-out feelings and nervousness. This is shown again and again by such letters as Mrs. Robinson writes as well as by one woman telling another. These women know what it did for them. It is surely worth your trial. Housewives make a gTeat mistake in allowing themselves to become so ill that it is well-nigh impossible for them to attend to their necessary household duties.

-| YEARS § L —of Service SERVICE lias been the keynote of the Massachusetts Mutual for seventy-one years. Its $163,142,307 of assets are the property of its policyholders. Tt had 308,202 policies in force on December 31, 1922, an average of $2,961 per policy, with average assets of $529 back of each policy. These assets are the property of the policyholders, and consist mainly of government, municipal and railroad bonds and real estate mortgages, all of a most conservative character and all very carefully selected. Taking a life insurance policy is purchasing the highest type of investment on the installment plan, with all payments cancelled in event of death. It is the most certain and most satisfactory form of investment to protect your dependents and your own old age. We hope that if you are a policyholder of this company that you will suggest to your friends or neighbors that they become members of the Massachusetts Mutual. We hope to extend our SERVICE to many new policyholders in Indiana in 1923.
