A conspicuous feature of this order is
the fact that death claims are promptly
paid and its record in this respect cannot
be beaten. Doubtful claims, those that
indicate fraud, are quick iy investigated

1ciaries receive their money. There are
many in this city who can attest the fact
that the order quickly meets It's obliga-

1t pays sick benefits, that is, not die-to-

i'll, draw stipulated amount, de pendent
on the amount he is insured for, and

can draw TO Inc amount OF twenty

and these sick benefits are paid if he re-
mains i'll until he has reached the limit
$1,000. A first degree member who is in
Sured for $500 would draw one-tenth of
the amount paid to u sixth degree mem

as members the thoughtful men and wo-
men who desire to make provision for
their families and near relatives in the

put q check on the swIndlers and have
had little trouble since, us the frauds fear
and avoid them.
