this beef do not object to inspection when
il is offered for sale, or to any

W. Joslyn, of Elgin, Ills, and H. c. Agnew,
of Macomb, together with Head Physician P.

cation and benefit certificate that will serve
to prevent such frequency Of suicide.
The committee did not come to full and
definite agreement. as to a plan, but Will hold
an adjourned meeting the latter part of the
month, after having given full investigation
to the legal aspects of the subject. The Wood
men are determined to cut off this source of
loss to the very last degree, and the courts
are beginning to rule that fraud upon al
order or society, by deliberate suicide, can
not be successfully carried out The COM
mittee is composed of able men, and they
will give the order the best attainable results
in the matter submitted to them. The clause,
when formulated, will be in Che nature of a
contract, and be part Of the application as
well as the benefit certificate. The Wood
men are determined to weed out the suicide
class.
