INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One company's Assets Are Dis
tributed in the South and West.

In connection with its withdrawal
from Texas, along with many other
companies, rather than to submit to
the new law which requires that 75d
Of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of it's
assets, at the end of the second year
Of the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,95S, 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 800 of its total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of its
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed
as follows: Ala, $3,099,OO Ariz.,

Minister'S Fall Significant in View Of
Previous Words.

In small church in one OF the min
Ing towns of Pennsylvania was a pull
pit both ANTIQUE and unique. 1t was
about the size and shape of -four
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall. The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town,
a man Of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday. While
preaching he bent forward and shout
ed out with great force the words Of
his text:
THE righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from it's
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
CATION. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
Brethren, l am not hurt, and
don't mind the fall much, but l do

And then her hands fell lifeless or

looked up in angry surprise. Madame

DR.. Starva shuffied rapidly to her
side; he shook her shoulder.
''Sophiel Sophie!" he cried, and
then he saw the letter and it's stamp.

time being proved that. The fierce
haste with which DR.. Starva had
snatched the letter from her lifeless

my conviction. Then if my surmises

10 the Sailors, Friend.

Sixty thousand sailors look to II. A.
Hamburg for advice and for protec.
ton. Mr.. Hamburg is the United
States shipping commissioner for the
port OF New York. He is the sailors
judge and jury. The men who sign
on foreign craft now must appear be-
fore him for their papers instead of
going to the consuls of the various
countries. He decides all disputed
questions between the men and their
sailing masters. Many of the abuses
OF these men that formerly were COM
mon, such as compelling them to buy
their outfits from the ship owners or
captains, have been done away with
under Mr.. Hanburys rule. His office

ships leaving that port.

avoided my gaze and played idly. But
| noticed that If DR.. Starva had been
enraged that she had seen the letter
with its death-mask, Madame de Var
nier was anxious that he should not
know of the existence of the letter
that had excited her. 1t had fallen to
the floor. When his back was turned
she had stopped swiftly and placed it
in the bosom of her dress.
Was the letter she was so careful to
hide from him merely personal? Or
was its message of moment? If SO, IL
1t were concerned with the strange
game these two were playing, it meant
that either mistrusted the other.
l welcomed such a possibility. That
fact might simplify my own action.
At least it showed that Madame de
WARMER was not abjectly the creature
of this infamous scoundrel.
The strained situation was happily
relieved by the entrance of the serv-
ant who had brought in the letters.
lnstinctively the three of us assumed
a certain unconcern, as is the manner
of the world before servants.
He brought a card to Madame de
Varnier. She took it from the salver
quietly, but her hand trembled as she
read the name engraved on il.
We had all three heard that name
before. Its crisp. Anglo-Saxon nomen-
clature gave one the impression OF a
strong, logged personality that pur-
sued, and yet pursued.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies' Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.


Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. 1 had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine a complex.
ion as one could ask for.
when became convinced that cot.
fee was the cause of my trouble, |
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as l made 1t well, ac-
cording to directions, liked 1t very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more, as l was when | was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
tie trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion IL she will
leave of coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.
