to effect March lst. BY its provisions
fraternal societies must limit the age of
applicants to tiftyfiye years. The law
prohibits issuing certificates agreeing
that no assessments shall be made after

ments to members when they obtain a
specified age. No payments are TO be
made to living members except for
physical disability. Societies must pro-
vide for the payment of benefits in case
of death, and all certificates must bear
the death benefit fl sture and emergency
clause. Assessment companies cannot
issue certificates with paid up insur-
snce, limited payments, extended insuT-
ance values, cash surrender values, and
endowment and annuity policies. No
cash values shall be paid by such com
pany.
