flBfelj ance "department Trill be introduced to-
BSe l -morrow. in both, the house and the sen-

BBS I prepared by Willard Bone, state insur-
HSfl i ance commissioner, who bus given them
llfgjy K months of careful study. Mr. Done, iu
BKgH 5 presenting the new legislation, has en-
Shm deavored, and with much success, to
BBHB p avoid burdeninc: tbe stutute books with
Wffi fc more laws than are absolutely wooes-
HtTH f eary. In pursuing this polic3r the com-
HffmBl V missioner has confined himself, with one
HHB or two exceptions, to drafing amend-
lyH ' menta designed to strengthen or extend
BHH i the present laws, instead of introducing
Hbh & new .acts.
HfiW In, arriving afc a means to bring about
RE f improvements, one or two new bills havo
Hfl l been necesEary, One of. these puts the
HHJ "parlor match" out o business. The
HB8I r. "parlor match" in insurance circles lias

Affecting Insurance.
Barnes of Salt 'Lake will introduce
in the house a bill on behalf of the
insurance department by way of amend
ment to the fraternal insurance law
passed two years ago providing that
the associations shall make a valuation
of liabilities on certificates on ?- cer
tain prescribed reserve basis. This ad
justment will bo gradual, so as not to
work unnecessary hardship on tho pres
ent members. A's tho societies show by
tho valuation that they are prepared
to do so. they will ha permitted to
issue certificates providing for paid-up
values and other surety values on the
reserve basis provided m for. In other
words, fraternal societies will bo re
quired to provide for their future sol
vency as well as the present. Tho ef
fect of tho act will be to increase the
mcmlierslun fees at first, but it will
nrevent the danger of radical action
in tho way of big increases later. The
working of tho act is illustrated by
a certain fraternal society which, some
vcar9 ago, was in a most flourishiue
condition with low1 rates. As the mem
bers grew older and manv died the
nsscssmcnls beonmo s heavy that the
T.'ites were mired until now thoy are
almost nrnhibitive and work a hardship
riartlcnlarlv on old membore. The idea
is to establij-h a resorvo now instead of
having to do it in after yeaT8.
To Protect Builders.
An amendment will be offered to the
present law governing the operation of
all building and loan or investment
associations outsido of regular banks,
giving supervision over these associa
tions to the insuranco or some otb&r
department, and making tho condition
of thoir operation so that responsible
concerns will be able to obtain and
keep tho confldenco of citizens of tho
state. S'ouator W. S'. Hanson of Bos
Elder Is drafting a bill in co-operation
with Air. Done on this subject. The
act is designed to protect, persons
against fako or irresponsible invest
ment companies and promoters.
Mr. Done is conferring with the gov
ernor with regard to a law creating
the office of stale firo marshal. Mr.
Done estimates that the e.xoenses of
such an office, including salaries and
all outlavs, would not exceed $2500 a
year. Tho plan has tho indorsement
of Chiof V. H. Bywator of the Salt
Lako firo department. Tf it is decided
to introduco- a bill for this office, the
stale fire marshal will be charged with
extensivo duties of inspection, and will
be given power to punish by fine or
otherwise those persons who refuso to
clean up their premises or who permit;

Healthy old age is 50 absolutely de

muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion.
. Some help can be obtained bv eating
easilv digested foods and bv plenty ot

moat elderly people. Ono thing is cer
tain, that a atato or' constipation should j

take a mild laxative a often as Ti

tainty it ia suggested that cathartics,
purgativcB, physic, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to bo a shock to a

For Easier Conviction.
An amendment will be proposed
which makes it easier to convict in
surance agents who embezzle, by mak
ing such offenso larceny by embezzle
ment. Uudor the presout law grand
larcouy is tho nearest claes of crime
that can be applied, and inasmuch as
grand larceny involves the theft of a
sum of $50 or moro, it is not appli
cable to dishonest insurance solicitors
who mako off with smaller sums. Along
this lino also, another amendment re
quires agents to mako an accounting
to tho companies of all mouoy collected
and thoy may not tako advantage of the
plea that certain sums claimed by tho
company aro duo them, tho agents, as
commission. Thi3 loophole, eays Mr.
Done, has prevented the conviction of
numerous dishonest insurance agents
who took refuge in tho statement that
the money thoy withheld was duo them
as coininisfcTons.
Heretofore foreign . insurance com
panies withdrawing from the state
havo been immune from notions at law
because they had in this state no pro
cess attorney, that is, no person upon
whom papers could bo served. A pro
posed amendment makes tho stato in
suranco commissioner automatically the
process attorney for any company that
withdraws from tho state, aud papers
may bo served on him, he, in turn,
communicating them to the company in
legal manner.
Blow at "Overhead."
Another amendment is aimed at
''overhead" policv writing. This prac
tice is indulged in by some" insurance
companies in tho oast that do business
directly with their patrons bv corre
spondence. The amendment will require
that every kind of insurance policy ex
cept for life insurance, shall bo signed
by a. company 'h local agent and pro
hiBils tho sending hither of counter
signing slips to be attached to tho poli
cies.. By the new law the stato will
get its taxes on this kind of business
alio" the insurance department will
know all about it.
Under the present law misrepresen
tation and "knocking" other com
Danies is prohibited ony in, the cases
of life insurance- Au amendment ox
tends tho prohibition of this practice
to all fields of insuranco. Tt prevents
discrimination in nil forms of insur
ance. A new provision makes the accept
inco of rebates punishable as well as
the offering thereof. Tn this amend
ment it is provided that, a norsou who
bears witness of rcbatiiu: will be pro
tected and that the evidenco be may
give shall not be used against him in
caso he also is prosecuted-

A week from next WedneEday, Febru
ary 5, la Ash Wednesday, the first day
of the. Lenten season, which extends
from that day to Easter Sunday. In the
Cnthollc and Episcopal churcheB It la a
season of faBtlnsr and abstinence "World
ly pleasures aro set nslde for forty days
and special uervlces are held commemo
rating: the final scenes In tho life of
Christ, ending with tho commemoration
of his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The season of Lent come3 unusually
early this year; In fact, It could only
come two days earlier. Many are unfa
miliar with the way In which tho date j
of Easter Sunday Is reckoned. It falls'
on the first Sunday following the first
full moon of tho vernal equinox. The sea
son of Lent comprises tho forty days
precodlnp Easter, exclusive of Sundays,
which aro never regarded as days of fast
ing:. Easier this year comes on March
22. Only once before, In ISIS, did It
come so early. The first full moon of the
vernal equinox could appear only two
days earlier, so that iho season this
year will bo almost aa early as It pos
sibly could bo.
Tho word "Lent" is derived from the
Sapcon word 'Tenotcii," meaning length
ening days, or springtime. In former
times Lent began on the sixth Sunday
before Easter which, exclusive of Sun
days, left only thlrty-slx days of fast
ing. In order to conform the season to
a commemoration of the forty days of
fasting which Christ spent in the desert
Just before his crucifixion, four fasting
days wero added. Hence, since tho elev
enth century, Lent has begun on what
Ib known as Ash Wednesday.
The name, Ash Wednesday, Is derived
from a ceremony which Is conducted upon
that day. In churches whera tho season
is celebrated, tho members assemble on
that day and ashes, In the form of a
cross aro placed upon thelc foreheads, to
remind them that "dust thou art and
unto dust thou shalt return." It la also
a reminder of the season during: which

they are supposed to refrain from the
ordinary pleasures and spend more time
In recollections of tho sufferings of
Christ Just before his death. Holy
Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Satur
day, the three days Immediately preced
Imr Easter Sunday, are also days of spe
cial observance.
In early days the church required much
fasting during the Lenten season, but In
recent years these rules havo been modi
fied. The majority of people
