the possession of the executor.

domicile of the corporation does not
stand in the way of such transfer,

An excellent Illustration of the old

found in the tendency of most people
to pay little or no attention to that
very common complaint, sore throat.
As a matter of fact, neglect of a
throat is only extremely unwise,
but may have fatal results. Director
of tho department of health and
