ally sick! The clerk of an Illinois
Modern Woodman camp recently
wrote as follows to Head Clerk
HaweS, of that society:
Mr.. Bjoncs, Of this camp, who
is now absent from the city. wrote
me that he was sick. and wished to
draw the 81 per week sick benefit
allowed our members. He was
and is now in suspension for non
payment of dues and assessments.
| wrote to Mr.. Bjoncs that he
would have to pay up a1'calagcS
and furnish warranty of good
health before he could rcinstatc.
and that he would have 10 rcinstate
before his application for sick ben
eft could be considered. He ans
wcred me by rcmitting arrcaragcs,
accompanied by warranty of good
health, and then requested that he
be put on the list for sick benefit
| am puzzled to know what to do.
If Mr.. Bjones is well enough to
furnish warranty of good health
how can he be sick enough to be
entitled to sick bcnriitS!"
