 The bill Is said to be founded upon the Indiana law and If the Legislature should enact the measure it will be as deadly to the cigarette as the In-

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
UP to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new PAID
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no life com
pany 10 write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up TO the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
SO little, comparatively. from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach 1t. No other
company Is writing nearly as much
as the law allows The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company
The eompany's payments 10 policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $2l ,660,761. II is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus. while death
claims were $l1.1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu'
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur'
chased policies and for dividends was
$l0,4S0,135 Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, EN-
| braces wide field and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved FOR

for the families of those who die pre-
