thoroughly before putting in the now-

third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. II you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy
them or have to 60 out for the after

room, for they are not used to a tenn

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 7.-i-oar
companies which promise that they
will cancel all obligations where nus
band and wife are both parties to the
contract, should the husband die by
sickness or accident, were dealt a
body blow Yesterday by Insurance
Commissioner Preus. who rules that
such offers constitutes misdemean'
or and persons making them are prac'
tically doing an insurance business.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of the insurance department by
a circular sent out by the American
Loan company, with offices in the
Capital Bank building, st. Paul.
In this circular the company makes
the following offer:
Where husband and wife are both
PARTIES to the contract, in case the
husband dies by sickness or accident,
recent in full shall be rendered the
widow providing the Indebtedness to
the company exceeds $685.
Commissioner Preus in his commu-
nication to the company directing
them to cease making such offers,
says:
ANY loan contract which you may
write containing this so~called lnsur'
ance is a gross misdemeanor under
the statute
The company concerned makes
specially of loans from $40 to 500.
