convene again this evening, and the ses-
sions promise to be busy ones. Senator
Stokes this week will introduce meas
ure for the new apportionment of the As
sembly districts on the basis of the late
census. Bills supplemental to the Anti
Spring Election law just passed are on
the calendar, and the consideration of
these will furnish some spice for the ses-
sions if they come up for debate.

his desk, and did considerable routine
work, including the signing of large
number of commissions of Commission
ers of Deeds. He also signed Senate bill
No. IL, which provides for the prosecu-
tion of the bonds of public officials charg-
ed with neglect, default malpractice or
misconduct in office. Suits are to be in

which have heretofore distinguished Pru-
Dental life insurance contracts, and con-
tanning additional features which serve
to Indicate how this company is nstant-
ly liberalizing its policies.
The new Prudential policy is a simple
promise to pay, and contains no eonfus-
ing technicalities. Following are some OF
it's provisions
The policy is incontestable after one
year. 1t is nonforfeitable after one years
premium has been paid, which means.

premium will be granted, and after two
annual premiums have been paid. one

Term and Intermediate policies andChild's
Endowments, now contain annual cash

dowments and three years on Life policies

afforded by its own record Of the past
