DECISIONS OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT.
Can a Corps President give the password TO n
member of another Corps or one visiting Corps
meeting?
Answer: No; she cannot always know that such
visitor is in good standing in the Corps she rep
resents.
May members be allowed to pay their dues for
more than quarter at time, when Rules and
Regulations says the per capita tax IS payable in
equal quarterly installments?
Answer: Yes; the payment Of dues for the whole
of the year in the beginning of the year is advsa
bic and to be recommended. It saves expense of
notification and liability of member forgetting it.
There is chance for suspension, and the Corps is
sure of the whole year. It is necessary that the
dues be required TO be paid in equal payments, for
without that clause and specified time for pay
ment the control Of suspension for non-payment of
dues would not be regarded. The Grand Army does
this TO great extent.
Should charter members be required to pay 81
membership lee and the price of badge as ordinary
applicants?
Answer: The admission fee of charter members
and members admitted by application must be the
same in the same Corps. In organizing Corps the
amount for that purpose is raised and ready. 1t
makes no difference how this is done, or where the
money comes from, but each member is credited
with the required amount and it so appears on the
books. For instance, the amount may be raised by
giving an oyster supper. The ladies engaged
would earn the required amount each be credited
with $3.50, and an account be opened with each one
who were to become charter members. Should
the proceeds be more than the expense, it would be
that much in the treasury unless other disposition
had been agreed upon.

you never heard of Mr.. Nathan Chase of New

years old and hale and as hearty as in youth.
And yet he was supposed to be dying Of heart
trouble less than two years ago. Here is
what he says:
"A year ago or more began to lose flesh
and strength. l sent for my physician to
know the cause. He examined me and said
1t was my heart; that the old machinery was
wearing out, and / must be careful. Still
grew worse. Finally got so bad 1 could
scarcely breathe; could not lie in bed but
had to sit up all night with possibly one

my life before. What accomplished this9
