Insurance Paid to the Living.

William c. Phelps, who died
last week in his one hundredth
year, outlived the mortuary tables
of q Connecticut life insurance
company in which he carried a
$500 policy. In March, 1919, Mr..
Phelps took out a policy, payable
to his heirs at death,anticipating
his birthday in September by
using the age at which he would
then have attained. At the ami
versary last month of the issue
of the policy the company in
formed Mr.. Phelps that he had
reached the age at which all tab
les used in calculating premiums
ended, and it was ready to pay
the face of the policy. with the
last years dividend. The proper
papers were executed and the
company paid the money 70 him,
remarking that it was the first
experience of the kind in IFS his
tory. Ex.

Since the opening of this deser

1t is somewhat remarkable that ...e sentiment
in favor of greater restriction of the liquor traffic
should crop out in England at about the same
time that the prohibition sentiment is showing 1t
self SO strongly in this country. OF course there
is no such thing as prohibition there but there is
strong and growing temperance sentiment, and
this sentiment, in the course of time may develop
into demand for prohibition. What the British
Parliament proposes to do is to enact strlcter
licensing law. 1t will apply to all places III which
alcoholic beverages are sold. The purpose OF 1t IS
to rid tie liquor traffic of some OF its worst feat
ures Its chief evils are very great and seem to be
becoming greater. From the standpoint OF the
advocates of temperance they are alarming.
