cally, their selection is also in the hands
of people well qualified to do justice to

A DECISION just rendered by the
United States courts Is OF interest TO
life insurers, Us 1t invalidates the
clause found In most policies, that no
agent has the authority to alter the
clauses printed therein. 1t appears
that q Mr.. Henderson went to an
agent AMI applied for an insurance on
his life, stating that he was afraid of
being shot by an enemy, who, he had
reason to believe, was looking for
him. The agent told him he would
give him policy covering his case,
and Henderson paid him the
premium. Shortly afterward he was
killed by his enemy, as he had antici.
pated, and the company refused to pay
the insurance to the widow, as the
policy contained a printed clause ex.
pressly eXempting the company In
case death resulted from the doing
of some party with declared hostile
intent.

TIE ordinary person would sup.
pose that a great metropolitan jour.

Is to the contrary. Listen to this:
"Blood oranges are now prepared arti.
ideally. They are even richer in
flavor than the regulation red orange
Of nature. An ordinary orange Is
puncturcd and a small quantity Of
California claret is injected by means
of a powerful syringe. The wine Is
drawn up into the pulp Of the fruit
by means of the capillary attractions
and gives the orange the deep red SO
admired by cOnnOisseurs. Such
statements are really too ridiculous
to warrant any comment. 1t is Just
