NEW SICKNESS DISCOVERED.
“Creeping Eruption” Puzzle to Flor
"ida Doctors.
Pensacola, Fla.—A new disease in
the south known as ‘“creeping erup
tion,” has been discovered by Cap
tain F. H. Gosman, post surgeocn of
the artillery corps stationed at Fort
Barrancas, The victims are two ar
tillerymen, who were recently at
tacked by the disease and after in
effectual treatment by an assistant
surgeon, they were turned over to
Captain Gosman. This is said to be
the first case of the kind in the sonth
and the fourth case known in the
United States.
According to Captain Gosman, the
disease is caused by the lodgment of
the eggs of a horse fly, and, while
“ not necessarily fatal, causes - great
~discomfort and when not properly
treated and the patient is allowed to
scratch, becomes very aggravating.
Photographs .have been taken and
- will .be forwarded with a full report
of the cases to the department at

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?
That the doctrine of home rule has
ever been a principle dear to the
hearts of our southern people, and
the patronizing of home institutions
is simply the application of this prin
ciple to our daily and individual ne
cessities, ey
Never before in the history of the
south has southern people so exten
sively bought, sold and traded in all
lines among its home people. For
illustration, take a single instance:
Not many years ago, the farmer took
his cotton to town and sold it. That
cotton was shipped . north, made into
products by mnorthern and castern
mills and sent back for that same
farmer to buy. Now he takes his cot
ton to town and sells it, in a great
many instances, to a cotton mill in
his home town, It is converted into
manufactured product within a few
miles of where the cotton itself was
produced. :
Not alone in cotton, but in many
other lines, hundreds of products
bought and used by southern pcople
are manufactured in the south,
This means developing the different
sections of the south in the expendi
ture of money for the building of
these manufacturing plants and iu
the expenditure of money in the em
ployment of labor. Every dollar spent
in this way is beneficial to you Dbe
cause it enriches and develops your
home section,
The same article applies identically
to life insurance. _
The Empire Life Insurance Compa
ny is a purely mutual, old line, legal
reserve, southern institution, with its
Home Office in Atlanta, Georgia. Its
funds are received in the way of pre
mium payments from the people of
the south, Its funds go back to the
people of the south in the way of pol
icy loans, payment of death claims
and policy dividends.
Its reserve funds arve invested in
bonds of southern states and southern
towns and cities; also, in first mort
gages on farms and other town prop
erty of southern people. All of which
means the using of southern money
for the development and enriching of
this southern country and southern
institutions.
Therefore, when you can get jusi
as good, if not better, policy in just
as good a company by taking your
life insurance in the Empire Life, ask
yourself to patronize a home company
rather than to send your premium
payvments off five hundred or a thou
sand miles away to some eastern or
northern company.
The Empire Life is safe and sound
and conservative in its managcment.
It pays its claims promptly. Then
zive us your business.
