PROBING EQUITABLE.

Some Peculiar Conditions.
PAID LARGE SALARIES TO DEAD MEN
Attorney General Mayer Investigate

New York, June 23.-Attention wa
directed 10 the fact that four OF thu
Equitable officers mentioned In the re
port of State Superintendent OF lnsur
ance Hendricks as drawing salaries
for the last Ave years are no Longer
actively connected with the company
70. W. Lambert appears In the report
as medical director with salary oil
$4,000 a year. He died thirteen
months ago, and yet, according to the
table, his salary was paid this year
and last. Edward Curtis, who figures
90 q medical director at $4,000 a year
resigned that position eighteen months
ago George H. Squire, who is now q
director Of the company, is down on
the list as financial manager at sl2,-
900 year, although II. r. Winthrop
succeeded Mr.. Squire as financial man
ager many months ago. ]. B. Loring
Is recorded as registrar with a salary
of $500 a year. Mr.. Loring ceased to
perform the active duties Of the regis
trarship In April, 1903.
Following the publication Of the re-
port of Superintendent OF Insurance
Hendricks came the statement that
District Attorney Jerome, of New York
county, has undertaken an inquiry In.
to the conduct Of the society.
August Belmont has rendered his
resignation as a director Of the E1ui-
table.
Attorney General Julius M. Mayer
arrived here from Washington Thurs
DAY night and will remain In town
several days investigating Equitable
affairs. In an interview Mr.. Mayer
said:
at is manifest that the people
throughout the whole country are pro-
foundly interested In the affairs OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Therefore, think 1t fitting to say that
appropriate steps will be speedily ia
ken by me.
First, to accomplish the return to
the Equitable Of any profits wrong
fully made or retained by reason of
trust relations or otherwise.
Second, to debar from holding Of
fice in this company any person who
has been faithless to his trust or who
violated any provisions Of law.
Third, to obtain an accounting for
any waste or misapplication of funds
for any reason or by anybody.
There are certain other matters
Of importance which l am studying,
but to which 1t would be premature to
refer in detail. 1t might be, for In
stance, to the interest Of the policy
holders to learn the character Of and
the occasion for some of the legal ser
vices paid for during the past few
years. But above all inquiries as to
alleged delinquencies, the greatest me-
cessity Of the situation is that the
rights Of the policyh olders in all re-
spects be ascertaincd as clearly and as
completely and quickly MS is legally
possible. In this and in other partic-
ulars I shall try my best to obtain re-
suits.
III any crime has been committed
by anybody that situation is manifest
ly for the district attorney"
A close friend Of the attorney gen.
eral, when seen, stated that the at
torney general would have the rights
Of the policyholdess ascertained by the
courts.

Trainjnu the Skin.

The usual effect of a draft of cold
air upon the back of the neck is cold
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DIR. Brown Sequard, an eminent
French physician, devised means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. By blowing upon
the back of the neck with a pair of bel
lows, increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
1t is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft of air on the back of the neck
in order to obtain this result. By
means of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub, the shower bath, towel friction,
ETC., the skin may be educated to con-
tract on the slightest increase of cold
Daily exposure to the contact of cold
air is of the utmost importance. 1t is
because of the constant exposure to
cold that the Indians body is ''all face"
the skin of his whole body has
learned to take care of itself.

In Harmony with Nature.

Modern science as well as expert
ence has shown that contact with nat
ural surroundings, especially fresh air.
sunshine and the ozoning emanations
from growing plants, has marvellous
health-imparting virtues. In these
natural agencies is active the power
which created and maintains all things
and which is constantly communicated
to all living things as the essential
condition of continued life. The more
closely man comes to Nature, the
more deeply he may drink from the
fountain of life and healing. To live
in harmony with Nature in the fullest
and truest sense is to live in har-
mony with God; and to live in divine
harmony is to be happy.

Bedroom Climate,

A person at the age of sixty years
has spent about twenty years of his
life In his bedroom. Have you inves-
tigated the average sleeping room eli
mate? If yoa were sent as a mission
airy to some distant pestilential spot
the climate of which was as unhealth-
full as that of the average bedroom,
would you not feel that you were risk
ing a great deal for the sake of the
heather?
On the tombstone of tens of thou
sands of those who have died from
tuberculosis might appropriately be
Inscribed. Disease and death were
invited and encouraged by a death
dealing bedroom climate"
To show that this is no exaggera-
ton it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that fully half of
the tubercula- patients placed in out
door consumptive hospitals make a
satisfactory recovery. If fresh air
will cure the disease, it is certainly a
wonderful preventive of it. 1t is not
more reasonable to deliberately
breathe impure air than it is to drink
impure water or to eat unhealthful
food or wear infected clothing
