Insurance Commissioner G. Walden
Smith Tuesday received a letter from
Hon. John Barton Payne. the newly
appointed cabinet ofncer. who previous
to his elevation to the position Of Sec
rotary, was chairman Of the United
States Shipping Board, in which ne
states that he is glad to know that
Maine has already done much to bring
about a favorable situation for the ad-
vancement Of marine insurance and the
incorporation Of new companies by re-
moving restrictions or requirements
which were found to be troublesome and
unfair.
II am also glad to know that Maine
will not delay in remodeling its law In
such a way that American companies
will be free to adopt the English prac-
tice Of permitting companies to tran.
sact all kinds Of business other than life
insurance. "says Secretary Payne.

found only in milk and are absolutely
essential to the healthy growth and

that these constituents play vital part
