ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums.
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of its
assets, at the end OF the second year
OF the new management. The Eluit.
able now has SlO,95S 900 invested in
Texas. which is twice as much as the
new law requires. but the manage
ment decided that to submit TO the
additional taxation would be an injus.
tice to its policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 1870 Of it's total reserves
are now Invested in the southern and
western states. while only $3.50 OF its
total insurance is carried i'm these
states. Its investments are distributed

sea. In the effort to regain ones
footing and to get back to shore. ones
feet and shins are barked by the
Jagged stones and pebbles. and when
at length one does emerge from its
treacherous bosom. with the l,wer
limbs bleeding and torn. one becomes
aware OF a horrible tingling and burn

which have penetrated everywhere.
Unless great care is taken the
bather In the Dead sea is liable to an
eruption. which breaks out all over
his body, and which is commonly
known as the Dead sea RASH The
best antidote to this is to hurry across
as quickly as possible to the river Jor-

sacred but dirty stream will effectual-
