progress in her governmental institutions
Commissioner Ekern has issued the fol-
lowing statement:

of the contracts is the first considera-
tion. A mathematical reserve is provid-
ed for on the safest basis in use by
American life insurance companies. Pro

ment of age % or term to age %.
Medical examination will be required
under the supervision of the state board
