COUNSEL STUDY
ARKANSAS LAW.
Insurance Companies Will Not
Seek Another License Unless
Anti-Trust Law is Regard
ed Unconstitutional.
George L. Meyers, a prominent
fire underwriter of this state, has
just returned from New York,
where he says practically all of
the companies doing business in
Arkansas were represented at
the meeting of the national board
in New York last Thursday.
It was decided to refer the
anti-trust act to eminent legal
counsel for an opinion as to its
constitutionality, with a view to
a final test in the courts. Should
the courts declare that it is
constitutional there would be on
ly one course to pursue, and that
is to withdraw, as the companies
could not continue to do busi
ness in the state under the re
strictions placed about them by
the provisions of that act.
It was also practically decided
that the companies will not file
their annual statements with the
state auditor, as required by law,
on March 1, in which event they
could not be relicensed, which
would mean a suspension of busi
ness on that date. That is the
situation in a nutshell.

HON. GEO. W. MORRIS
Present Grand Treasurer
of the I. 0. 0. F. of Kentucky.
MAKES A STRONG STATEMENT.
From the position which Mr. Morris
holds, it is evident that he stands very
high with the I. O. O. F. of Kentucky
and any statement which he makes car
ries a great deal of weight. Mr. Morris
says : “Sometime ago, as the result of a
fall down the stairs of my home, I injured
my' arm and badly strained my back,
side and hip. I experienced intense pain
and was unable to get any relief until I
was advised to try Paracamph, First Aid
to the Injured. After applying Para
camph to the injured parts, wdthin an
exceedingly short time the pain was en
tirely free from the effects of the fall,
which remarkable results I consider
solely due to the use of Paracamph. I
am fully persuaded that Paracamph pos
sesses all the curative powers claimed for
it. I freely recommend its use to all
those whose sufferings you claim it will
relieve or cure.”
Paracamph is a combination of cam
phor and cooling, so thing, healing oils
which allays pain almost instantly, heals
and cures all hurts quickly. It is a mod
ern scientific remedy, indorsed by Amer
ica’s best pe jple. Try it for Rheumatic
Swellings, Neuralgia, Sore Joints, Skin
Diseases, Old Sores, Cold in the Head,
Sore Chest, Sore Feet and all forms of
Swellings and Inflammations. If it fails
to give you satisfaction your money will
be refunded. Trial size 25c ; family sizes.
60c and $1.00. If you have never used
Paracamph we will send you a trial size
free. Write to-day. The Paracamph Co.,
