FraternaIIsm the Best.

Beyond question, fraternalism pro-
vides the best method for giving safe
protection to the dependents OF the
great mass of workingmen in this coun-
try-the men in shops, in stores, be-
hind the counters, on railways, in of
fees, in all vocations OF life where they
win their bread by individual physical
and mental effort, and where five hun
dred to two thousand dollars will meas
ure the extent of the protection need
ed by them.
Fraternalism stands pre-eminently
above and superior to any other meth
cd in the matter OF economy, and equal
To any other as regards safety. In
truth, because Of the ties of brother
hood, and because OF the freedom from
financial danger on account Of vast ac
emulation, finally, because OF the
freedom from selfish control to serve
personal ends, fraternalism indeed Of
fers the safest protection Of all insur-
ance systems.

No good man or brother with a pure
heart or right intentions, will desire
To be excused from his duty. Those
who cherish respect for fraternity and
its teachings will esteem attendance at
the meeting privilege rather than a
task There is no test that more
clearly reveals the amount of regard
which members cherish for their lodge
or the welfare OF the order and the
carrying out OF its good purposes, than
their habits OF attendance at stated
meetings. Were all as negligent In
this respect, the lodge room would
cease to be and the great good which
is being accomplished by our beloved
order would cease Fraternal News.

As Others Saw IL.

The Sovereign Visitor, official organ
Woodmen of the World, dishes up the
session of the National Fraternal Con-
gress In a rather sarcastic manner 1t
reiterates the charge made against
President Oronhy atekha OF securing
the passage OF bill prohibiting socie-
ties organized In this country from
doing business in Canada a, and cites as
proof the reception given by him TO a
committee who called upon him To re-
monstrate against the passage OF said
bill 1t claims the charge will not
soon dissipate even under the ingen
ious explanations and apologies made
to the congress.
1t pays its respects To Past Presi-
dents Stevens and Shepard and says
that Bro. Boynton gyrated around the
room SO when reading his paper that
there was no need OF electric fans to
stir the humid air
The election OF officers is alluded TO
in the following manner: "The cleo
tion was listless affair, the outgoing
vice president was promoted To presi-
dent somewhat reluctantly and with
out any enthusiasm whatever The
secretary was reelected as mere
matter Of form. There was consider
able buttonholing by candidates for
the vice presidency, but all were run
of the track by Bro G.. f. Bonnell,
chairman of the local reception com
mittee, who had the finesse to treat
the whole congress, their wives, sis
tiers, cousins and aunts, To a delightful
tallyho ride and "A sandwich and beer
collation. at San Souci beer garden the
evening before"
1t closes as follows: practically
nothing new except rates was adopted,
the straw Of 1898 was again threshed,
the medical section, the press section
and the main body had brilliant
thoughts eloquently expressed by those
present, which will be published, and
the next meet at Atlantic City may be
anticipated with interest. Meanwhile
we will try to reconcile ourselves to
foreign rule. '-Knights of Honor Re-

GET AT

Of Backaches and Headaches, and
Remove Ii by Using
DR.. A. w. CHASE'S
klDNEY-liVER PILLS.

The error of the dav in medical treat
ment is the "doctoring" of effects in
stead of getting at the cause. A powder
for headache, a tablet for indigestion,
and a plaster for backache. These may
afford slight temporary relief, but next
day the old trouble is back again. Be
sides, think of the effect of a drug
strong enough to stop headaches almost
Immediately.
Backache is kidney ache. A sure in
dication that the kidneys are badly dis
eased. Backache is natures signal Of
alarm to warn people that the Kidneys
are no longer able TO perform their duty
of filtering the blood And this means
that the foul impurities which would
otherwise be carried of by the kidneys
remain in the blood, and find their way
to every organ of the body, where they
act as deadly poisons.
DIR. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills are the
worlds greatest kidney cure, because
they act directly on the kidneys and re-
store them to health, strength and vigor
They remove the cause OF headaches,
backaches and an endless chain of most
fatal and complicated diseases.
DR. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are
purely vegetable, and act pleasantly and
naturally. One pill a dose; as cents a
box, at all dealers. or DR.. A. w. Chase

! THE LODGE CORNER.
I" Advance Assessments. .


The term advance assessment" has
crept into the phraseology OF the Or
der, and il has been found SO confusing
that the Supreme and Grand officers
have for years been unable to abolish
its use and correct the false impress.
sions TO which it has given rise. Many
members suppose that the deposit In
the beneficiary fund which they made
on joining is not used in the payment
of death claims, but is kept on deposit
somewhere, and that at any time they
fail to pay an assessment this deposit
covers their liability to the Order and
keeps them in good standing. Law
yers make the same mistake and bring
suit against the Order where this sup
position is their sole ground, and there
is reason To suspect that it has some
times confused even the courts.
Perhaps an illustration OF what oc-
ours will make the facts plain To the
members. On the first OF the month
lllt NTIuuu iNCNoIutl uPOh tiit ohD-
ordinate lodges for the beneficiary
fund in their treasury, with which To
pay death losses that have already oc-
Cured. The making Of this call con
stitutes an assessment upon the mem
bers for one assessment each which
they pay during the month, having
al OF IL. ooh Ia i,,x d III
to make the payment The assess
ment thus paid is To replenish the ben
eficiary fund in the subordinate lodge,
so that when another call becomes
necessary they will have the money to
meet it. During the month, while the
members are thus paying an assess
ment levied by the Grand Recorder, a
new member is admitted to the lodge.
As he comes in after the first of the
month when the assessment was made,
he, OF course, was not assesse d, but IA
he will be "a member in good standing
at the time the next call is made, he OF
course must have in the beneficiary
fund of the subordinate lodge a deposit,
the same as any other member. There.
fore, while the other members pay an
assessment levied upon them by the
Grand Recorder, he must pay the
amount of an assessment at the time OF
his admission. He thus practically
pays the assessment for the month in
which he was admitted, so as to place
himself on an equality with the other
members for the next call that is made
thereafter. The only difference be-
tween his situation and that of other
members is, that they, having been
mem bers when the call was made, have
until the 28th day Of the month in
which to make the payment, while he
coming in afterwards, must pay it at
the time he is admitted. In his case,
as in that OF other members, the next
call of the Grand Recorder draws from
the subordinate lodge the amount he
has deposited, and levies upon him an
assessment, which he must pay during
the coming month. With this explain
alton we hope the matter is made
clear, and that members will cease to
use the term advance assessment, or
to suppose that they have on deposit
with the Order sum that will pay an
assessment which they may otherwise
fail to meet.

TO spend ourselves unstintng day by day
And see the years slip one by one away
While we no store amass nor guerdon gain;

And watch impatient for the suns first ray

While eye meets eye ana gentle hands caress
And tender word lifts on the weight OF care,
