Mr. Justin Harris has arranged to give the patrons of the artist recital series a rare treat in a recital Feb. 15, at the opera house by Hugo Heermann, the renowned violinist. This recital will take the place of the piano recital to have been given Feb. 8 by Mr. Gunn. Heermann is generally conceded to be the greatest living classical violinist and the greatest one that Germany has ever produced. Having been most Intimately associated with great masters such as Joachim and Sarasate, Ernst the great French critic says: "Hugo Heermann combines In his playing the soulfulness of Jaochlm with the brilliancy of Sarasate Hans von Bulow the great authority on Beethoven says, '"There Is no greater player of Beethoven and Brahms than Hugo Heermann." Heermann has been made a professor by the German government, has played before the kings and queens of the old world and has honors and distinctions from Germany, France, Holland and other countries. Among his best knowns pupils are Viardo, Hambourg, Hubermann, Wallgardt, Hegner and Hugo Kortschak the young violinist who pleased so well at the last artist recital. Mr. Harris has also arranged to add Ferdinand Steindel, the pianist of the Steindel Trio to the closing recital of the series and have Bruno Steindel and Ferdinand Steindel give a sonata evening. Ferdinand Steindel is a very brilliant young pianist and is known in Chicago as the American Gabrilowitch." Richmond music lovers certainly have two rare musical treats to look forward to.

Young debutantes fetched ice water and performed the duties of the "bell hop," while their mammas and elder sisters looked after the culinary end of the establishment and saw to it that no guest received accommodations without paying in advance. From chambermaid to chef, all of the employes for the day were women well known in Pasadena's most exclusive social circles. While the women were actuated by purely charitable motives, the charity did not extend to the hotel "beat." With the new managers in charge, it was a case of settle or get out. The proceeds of the venture will be used to build a home for Pasadena trained nurses. J Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kaufman and Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph G.

STIFF PENALTIES ARE PROVIDED IN THE BILL Agents of ComrJanies Doing Legitimate Business Support Proposed Law as Benefit to Their Business.

Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 1. The insurance business which has been in the muck and mire, in Indiana for the past several years, will be raised to a higher level should the bill introduced in the senate by Senator Wood of Lafajette become a law at this session of the legislature. The bill strikes directly at the rebate and premium evil which has been practiced by unscrupulous insurance companies and agents. The bill provides heavy penalties on all companies giving rebates, agents offering them or people receiving them. The bill in its present form is drastic, but not as drastic as it will be before It passes the senate. Penalties will be increased in size and its provisions even more severe than they are at the present time. The bill provides that no life insurance company doing business in Indiana, nor any officer or agent of such company, shall directly or indirectly pay, allow, or offer to pay as an Inducement to insurance any rebate or premium in connection with a policy of life insurance to be issued on any application issued in this state. Companies, officers or agents could not make any agreement as to the amount of the premium' to be paid on any policy solicited in this s'ivte, other than that plainly expressed in the policy, nor could any company issue a policy knowing that the policy had been rebated. Stiff Penalty Provided. Any person knowingly receiving such rebate or premium would be guilty of misdemeanor and upon conviction would be subject to a fine of $100 or imprisoned thirty days in the county Jail or both at the discretion of the court. Any company, person or persons violating any of the provisions of the act as provided for in the first section, upon conviction thereof could be fined from $100 to $500 and could be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceeding six months. By the provisions of the bill the auditor of state is empowered to try agents and life insurance companies suspected of giving rebates or premiums. Duties of the Auditor. Should charges be preferred against any agent the auditor must notify accused agent and the company for which he is acting to appear before him for hearing. Should the agent be found guilty of the charge his license could be revoked. In case of an appeal by the life insurance agent it must be taken to the circuit court of Marion county and pending the rehearing of the case, the agent would not be allowed to solicit life insurEnjoy Your Meals By Simply Eating a Little Pleasant Tablet After Each of Them., A TABLET DIGESTS A MEAL. .When digestion is perfect the fluids necessary to this process come naturally to the aid of the stomach. They are of right proportion and do their work speedily and well. When indigestion and dyspepsia are prevalent, these same juices come slowly if at all, are weak and insufficient or are filled with strong acids and alkalies. When such a condition exists each meal is a hardship upon the digestive organs. s The meal should strengthen the juices, but on the contrary it weakens them, so that man by the very act of eating causes conditions to arise which of themselves bring him pain and loathing for the next meal. Bj eating one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets you mix the tablet with your saliva and it goes into your stomach a strong, vigorous fluid, many times more powerful than the natural digestive juices. These tablets are made up from natural vegetable and fruit essences and are composed from Hydrastis, Golden Seal. Lactose, Nux, Ascetic Pepsin. Bismuth and Jamaica Ginger. There is the formula and one grain of it will digest 3.000 grains of food in any stomach. Beside digesting the food it will give the blood the power to enrich the digestive fluids so after a time nature will take care of itself. Though you have no stomach trouble one of these tablets after each meal is a powerful assistance to nature and is an excellent habit to make. Go to any druggist and ask his opinion of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. We will abide his answer If h'e be an honest man. They sell for 30c per package. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail, free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich.

This is why you should carry your account with the

ance. Should the verdict of the auditor of state be affirmed, it would then become the duty of the auditor to revoke the guilty agent's license for a period of one year. Agents convicted would be required to pay the costs of all proceedings against them. Barred From the State. Should the auditor of state suspect that any company was knowingly giving rebates It would be his duty to proceed against the company as in the case of any of its agents, and if any company should be found guilty it would not be permitted to operate in Indiana for a period of one year, directly, or through any of its agents. The bill has been reported favorably by the senate committee on insurance and bas been passed to engrossment. It will probably be called up on third reading within the next two days and if this is the cas' t will be passed. The senate as a whole is in favor of such insurance legislation; Senator Wood said to a Palladium representative, in speaking of the need of insurance legislation: 8en. Wood's Statement. "It has been customary for certain insurance companies and their agents to offer premiums and rebates on insurance policies ranging in character from gold bricks to brass watches. Agents of many companies get from fifty to eighty per cent of all first premiums and will consequently offer most anything to sell an insurance policy. Some companies encourage such practices. First class companies are hurt in this manner. "In Clinton county, I have heard, many agents realize that my bill will be made a law and they are working hard to dispose of as many policies as possible before the rebate law becomes effective. All kinds of premiums and rebates are being offered." What Billheimer Wants. State Auditor Billheimer bas a section which he would have incorporated in the bill, and it will probably be made part of the bill by the author, when the bill conies up for third reading. Billheimer's proposed amendment provides that persons giving evideuce against any insurance company or agent accused of granting rebates, may be excused by the auditor and not punished as the bill provides. Should company or agent be convicted without ths testimony of any person receiving premium or rebate, then this party would be subject to the provisions of the law as either company or agent. Several insurance agents have visited senators and asked them to vote for the Wood bill when it comes up for final passage, believing that the insurance business will be raised to a higher level and cut-throat insurance companies cannot so greatly injure those companies doing a legitimate business. Why Steel Is Painted Red. In most of the skyscrapers it Is noticeable that the steel frame is first painted red and then some other color. It was also the case with the "L" road structure and is also tbe case with all steel bridges and iron work of all kinds. One of the workingmcn was aked why Iron work was bciig painted red. Oh. it's not the color that counts," be said, "but it's what the paint Is composed of. This is red lead, and any steel man will tell you that red lead is the best preservative against dampness and rust. Recently a dark green lead has come into use as a first coat for iron and steel: but. after all. red lead seems to hold its own as a covering to preserve steel work. When the red leed is once on It the strccttxre can be painted in any other oIcr to suit the taste. Tbe red . lead lasts years. New York HeraJ

HE FOUND LASHED TO GREAT ICE CAKE Four Victims of Stormy Lake Michigan Were Frozen Stiff When Rescued From Perilous Position. MISSING FERRY COMES TO MILWAUKEE HARBOR Big Ship Battled Against Waves and Gale for Fortyfive Hours St. Paul Train Unaccounted For. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 1. The most thrilling tale of hardship of the winter comes from Sturgeon Bay, Wis., where nine fishermen were rescued after being exposed for two days to the fury of last week's blizzard, and who were nearly dead when rescued, miles from shore, from the Ice floe on which they had drifted out into the open lake. Four of their number had been frozen stiff and the others were fast losing consciousness, after having abandoned hope, when they were rescued. When picked up it was found that the men had lashed themselves with their fishing lines to the Ice to keep from being washed into the lake by the heavy waves. The party included John Larson. Frank and Elmer Anderson, Howard Perry. Edsar and Elmer Goodlet. Arthur Rudolph. Nels Anderson and Ole Abrahamson. Did Not See Blizzard. The men were fishing with email sleds on the ice off Chambers Island when the storm came uoon them. They did not notice the blizzard approach until they found that a cake of ice was drifting out into the lake with them. They tried to shout to the shore, all yelling at once, but they were not sure that t'.iey had made any one hear. One lono fisherman, however, was on another piece of ice which had not drifted away. This fisherman notified Captain Ducion, the keeper cf the Eagle Point light, who got out his. tender and started for Explains to Why most cathartics and laxatives do harm. New treatment addvocated.

their rescue, despite tbe danger to himself and crew. Car Ferry No. 15, of the Pere Marquette Line, which arrived at a late hoar last night, had one of the worst trips ever experienced by Captain Molsaacs in his lone service on tbe lakes. It took 55 hours to cross the lake during the storm, which usually takes 12 hours to make the trip. The crew of 45 men are completely worn out by the bard work. Much of the time was spent in beating up and down in a course of about 25 miles outside of Milwaukee harbor. Coal Gave Out. The supply of coal usually carried for a trip had been consumed and it became necessary to resort to a iortion of a cargo of coal carried as freight in tbe 30 cars abroad. During tbe height of the starm tbe car ferry came near Milwaukee Bay. but the mountatnous waves and tbe heavy snow made it impossible to pick the harbor lights, and the vessel was compelled to bead north, with Its nose Into the wind, to avoid the trough of the waves. This procedure was continued all through Friday night and Saturday. The seas finally abated enough at a late hour last night to permit Captain Mclsaacs to enter the harbor, though, the entrance was made with considerable difficulty. Railroad trains, which have been more or less irregular on account of the blizzard during the past two days, have just about resumed normal conditions. All tbe stalled trains, with the exception of No. 23. on the Southern Minnesota division of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Faul Railway bar been accounted for. V - - Ths Legs In Swimming.
