INSURANCEOROER HALED TO COURT Must Show Cause Why Commis? sioner Button Should Not Take Over Assets. An order was entered in vacation in the City Circuit Court by Judge R Carter Scott yesterday directing tht Modern Workmen of the World to show cause why the petition of Com? missioner of Insurance Joseph But? ton should not be granted. The papers were served on the attorneys fur the Modern Workmen in Alexandria. The company Is directed to appear before Judge Scott at 11 o'clock A M , on October 24. The petition oif Com? missioner Button, accompanies the order and sets foith that the Modern Workmen of the World is a fraternal insurance eompanjr, incorporated under, the laws of Virginia, that on January 25. 1911, the Modern Workmen, -by I contract of reinsurance. transferred Its entire property and business to the Basra! Life Insurance Company, a cor- j poration organized under %he Jaws1 of the District of Columbia, without having first obtained the written ap- j proval of the Commissioner of In- i surance of Virginia; that the further j transaction of business by the Modern i Workmen of the World "would be j hazardous to Its certificate holders. Its' creditors and the public." Therefore Commissioner of Insurance Button, with the approval of the State Cor? poration Commission, asked that the company be summoned to appear and show cause "why the said Joseph Button. Commissioner of Insurance, ?howId not take possession of itsj property and conduct the business of the said Modern Workmen of the World, and do what the 'nterests of the certificate holders and creditors of the said Modern Workmen of the. World and the public may require." I Attorney-General Williams appeared for Commissioner Button in present-] ing the papers. Your Brain Is a Battery Its thoughts are the sparks that set Success in motion. The simplest form of battery requires three factors to make the electric spark? (zinc, copper and an acid). The human brain also requires three vital elements to put forth thought?water, albumen and Phosphate of Potash. In the Brain as in the battery, let a single element become weakened from yester? day's use and lessened activity follows. Therefore, in order to keep a good working brain or add to it's power, one absolutely must use food which contains albumen and Phosphate of Potash. Why not do a hit of thinking mom? Water and albumen exist plentifully in every-day food, but Phosphate of Potash is often lacking. That missing element exists freely in the outer coating of wheat and barley, but the miller of white bread flour throws it out because it makes his flour brown instead of white. Grape-Nuts FOOD Made of choice wheat and malted barley, retains the rich brain-building Phosphate of Potash required by Nature for supporting bright brains and active minds. Pure! Wholesome! , Appetizing! This food is partly pre digested and quickly absorbed. A rrtorniog dish with cream provides force for accomplishment that many a mm has come to know and appreciate. Common Sense goes a long way toward making Success. To eat light often means to be right ? ??
