WOODMEN DEPUTIES
DON'T LIKE NEW RULE

There is considerable complaint
among district deputies of the Wood
men over the new rules of compensa-
ton which went into effect the first of
the present year. While the compen-
sation was apparently doubled, the
deputies charge that large string
has been very cunningly attached to
this increase The new rule was To
the effect that each district deputy
would be entitled to 81 instead of so
cents, as heretofore, out of the gen
eral fund for every mem Der secured in
his district by either himself or his
assistant; provided, that % mem bers
were adopted in his district during
the month; provided. further, that
the district deputy would receive no
compensation for work done by any
a ssistant unless the said assistant re-
ported at least five adop'io during
the month; provided, still further,
that no district deputy should receive
any compensation unless he had at
least one commissioned deputy in his
district, who, for the month, reported
at least five adoptions. The deputies
say that, while on it's face this is an
increase, yet the provisos attached to
the increase are practically impossible
of fulfillment, and, in fact, the new
rules will have the effect of reducing
instead of increasing the ompensation
paid deputies.

People overlooked the Importance
of permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs will permanently
overcome habitual constipation, well
informed people will not buy other
