" SWAMP-ROOT FOR » government through another ‘BRAZIL REPUBLIC 28 YEARS OLD TODAY . Portuguese Royalty Invited to Get Out Nov. 16, 1889 Brazil's actual entrance into the war on the side of the United States and the Allles, awakens a new and widespread interest in that great sis- ter American republic. September 7 and November 15 are the two prin- cipal natlonal holidays of the country. The former is the Brazilian Independ- ence Day, for on that day in 1822 the | then vice regent of Brazil, the vast colonial possession of Portugal, who was Dom Pedro, son of King John VI, declared the independence of Brasil from the mother country. The Portuguese military garrisons in Rio de Janeiro and other Brazillan cities were easily overcome with little or no bloodshed and were transported back to Portugal, and on October 12 Dom Pedro I was solemnly declared the constitutional emperor and perpetual defender of Brazil, and thus was es- tablished the Emplire of Brazil. Decide on Republic. For 67 yvears Brazil remained the only independent country in the West- crn World with a monarchial form of government. By the end of that time, however, the ideas of democracy and zelf government had gained such as- cendency that the people of Brazil de- cided to transform their monarchy into a republic, and for the second time there ‘was a complete change in blood- less revolution. The people of Brazil had no great quarrel with their easy- zolng monarch, nor had they any de- sire to harm him or the members of his family. All tespected Dom Pe- dro II, and many loved him for his fine personal qualities. but it was the . monarchial system of government in its entirety they wanted to get rid of, and so it became necessary for them to depose him. This they did on November 15, 1889. Marshal Manoel Deodoro Fonseca, one of the ablest and most popular generals of the Brazilian Army, placed himself at the head of the revolution and on the dato named published a procla- mation in which he stated that the people, the army and the navy had de- creed the deposition of the imperial dynasty and the extinction of the monarchial system. e assured the people that the Provisional Govern- ment guaranteed all inhabitants of | Brazil sacurity for life and property, | and respect for individual and po- litical rights: thati it recognized and - respected all national engagements TWO LONG YEARS' “Fruif-a-tives” Made Him Feel As If Walking On Air OrirLia, Nov. 28th. 1914, “For over two years, I was troubled with Constipation, Drowsiness, Lack of Appetite and Feadaches.

Dom Pedro Il erst- while Emperor of Brazil. sailed for Portugal, and the Republic of Brazil started on its prosperous career. No trenzied mobs—no murdering of high officials—no butchering of innocent people—no burnings of palaces. Or- der was maintained. and things went on safely and sanely. Truly a re- markable revolution—and that is all the more reason why Brazil shonld celebrate the 15th of November, the day when it became a re,ublic wita- | out shedding blood. The mother country, Portugal, acording to a cable- gram from Lisbon, has sent a special Embassy at whose head is commander Leotte do Rego of the Portuguese Navy. to participate in the general rejoicing and celebration, an evidence that all past family differences he- tween the two countries have long since been buried in oblivion.

Earle, vice president and general counsel of the Bankers Life Insurance company. arrived here yesterday from Des Moines, lowa, to confer with the United States district attorney and officials of the Kederal Reserve bank in an effort to determine just how far the Bankers Life compa: may he responsible for the activities of its agent, Elmer Dwiggins, in collecting subseriptions to the Liberty Loar. | While neither Mr. Earle any other officials concerncd in the mat- ter would express any views yester- day, yet in the opinion of those fa- miliar with the case the chances are bright for the company's making good to those who subscribed through Dwiggins any losses which they might have incurred. Mr. Earle spent most of the day with Assistant District Attorney Knox, Assistant District Attorney Benjamin A. Mathews, officlals of the Federal bank, l.ee J. Wolfe, consulting actuary for the Bankers Life, who has been in charge of Dwiggins’ office since the latter’'s disappearance last Saturday, and post office inspectors, whose in- vestigation into the missing agent’s books has shown a discrepancy of $75,000. After the conference Mr. Mathews said that the government had noth- ing to add to its version of the casec except the fact that Dwiggins was still at large. Since the issuance of a warrant for his arrest Tuesday, the police of every city In the country have been asked to watch out for him. “I am here as vice president and general manager for the Bankers Life to investigate the Dwiggins affair," sald Mr. Earle. “Just as soon as I have the facts I will communicate with the directors to ascertain just what is up to us to do. “In the first loan, we accepted a degree of responsibility for Dwigglns, authorizing him to accept subscrip- tions for the Liberty bonds. We tried to push the loan as hard as we could in all our offices. And in this loan an examination of the stationery shows that he used the name of Bank- crs Life, representing that the com- pany was behind him. “I corresponded with the superin- tendent of insurance in this state about Dwiggins at the time of the first loan. I told him that in our opinion the agent was an honorable man, as of course we thought he was. The last letter T got from Mr. Phil- lips was in the latter part of June, in which he promised to consult us if he wanted more information about our agent. We heard nothing more from him and thought naturally that everything was satisfactory. “We knew absolutely nothing of this second venture of his when the campaign for the second loan started, this Liberty Loan Extension club. The first thing we knew of it was when the Federal Reserve bank wrote us on Oct. 27." Asked to make a statement whether or not the company would make good, Mr. Earle replied that it was “‘up to tho directors,” and he couldn’'t say. In reference to a statement made by ¥rancls Stoddard, second deputy su- perintendent of insurance of New York, to the effect that, even if it wanted to, the Bankers Life could not / make good out of its surplus funds a shortage @®® to one of its agents, Mr. BEarle sald that he ‘‘wasn’t sure but that that matter would have to be left to the State Insurance department nor of Iowa and New York.” A 7l i >~ "ZMBER 15, 1017, - Grafonola :_and Columbia l:_?_e_gords 1l <A 740 0 AN b ) — ANE=—K ‘@Jfié = \ = N % 7 {1 oN / J, An Electric Grafonola at $135 THE Grafonola which operates by electricity and requires no winding is rapidly growing in favor.
