Recently a ciroular was sent out saying the policy-holders would be considered acceptable risks in the Temperance Benevolent Association, which has offices in the same building as the Empire. This report was | premature. On Jan, 12 Attorney-General Mayer forced the Empire Life into the hands of a receiver.
