contain the most gluten. because
gluten is an albuminous food and
starch is much cheaper than albu.

HEAVILY INSURED

for One Policy Of $4,000.

New York, July G.-The widow Of
Stanford White was paid today ln
tn Equitable Life Assurance stocfeta
Sll90i0, which was the value OF a
single policy White had carried on his
life for a number of years atftf
There are several other policies Of
comparatively small amounts issued
by the Equitable on tha life of Nhhes
on which no claim for payment ias
yet been pre.ented The face yah@ iui
these is about sG5, 300 but the.r 'yaMt
to the beneficiary is only $4,000.
When White took out these policies
his. physical condition was not perfect
and The contract he made with the
Equitable provided that is death re.
crTred within a certain period deduc-
lion of a stipulated percentage should
be made from the face value of each
policy.
The bullet which Harry Thaw fired
into the architects brain terminated
his life within the period mentioned in
the policies and consequently reduced
their value.
