Prohibition was kept out Of politics it
made remarkable progress, county after
county declaring for it until the great
majority of the counties have prohibited
the sale of intoxicsuts within their limits
but that "since the attempt to organize

perance cause has made very little pro-
gress." This has been the experience.
Only very small percentage Of the Pro

The custom Of Life Insurance compa-
mics relative to payments Of policies where
death occurs from suicide has changed
N. .erillly of late years. In the early
days of life insurance such claims were
never paid, ard there is provision in
most policies issued heretofore that the
claim shall be voil if the deceased dies
by his own act. But at the present time
all large companies issue policy which
is absolutely incontestable Tor anv cause
whatever mot excluding fraud in the ap-
plicationl after three years. They take
the ground that suicide does not happen
frequently enough to make it an element
Of risk. and further that. so far as fraud
is concerned. if they do not discover any
thing of that nature in three years they
are not likely ever to do so.-Bostoo
