Not the wealth of j. PIERPONT
MORGAN or of JOHN d. ROOKIE.
TELLER, but several large fortunes
have been spent in bringing to point
OF perfection and developing the
product known as "BR0MoNIA."
The p.esent company, after a long
and tedious litigation, have acquired
all right and title to the trade mark
"BROMONIA,' assets, good will &c.
In a comparatively short time Bro
monia will be known everywhere, even
to the remotest parts Of the civilized
world.
The proof of the pudding is in the
Batting. The mere statement that
'BrOmonia" is such tremendous eff.
eacy and so beneficial that it should
DC in the home of citizens in the civil.

vince the sceptical public, deluded as

LAWS FOR FRArERNALs.

What shall be done with the frater-
nal insurance societies, is the question
that Is new facing State Auditor Car
roll and the insurance department OF
the state of Iowa. When the next leg
islature convenes 1t will be presented
there.
1t is the opinion Of the insurance de-
partment and the auditor that there
should be some law fixing the mini
mum rates or forcing the organizations
to adjust their figures to the American
mortality tables more closely. 1t Is
their belief that these organizations
are carrying insurance at rate that
can not pay out, and those who live
the longest will be the losers.
On the other hand the fraternal So
c1eties express a desire to work out
their own salvation without the enact
ment Of any more stringent laws gov
erntng them. Not only do they express
their desires, but the officers of the
state and the legislature is facing the
fact that there are many thousands Of
voters who will be effected by any
legislation of that kind.
There are some of the older compan-
les that seem to have solved the pro-
blem, but they did it through raising
their rates. Many of them have pass,
ed through that stage of developmenl
after hard struggles. Each one mad to
fight the battles through for itself, but
the ones who made the start we're
up against the hardest proposition.
Each one that followed found the path
way little easier because of the fact
that they could poirit to the assured
success of those that had accomplished
1t. So every year there has been a
struggle and internal strife In some one
or more Of these societies In the effort
to raise the rates to standard that
will assure the last member of getting
the amount specified in his certificate
as well as the first.
However, there are numerous small
er organizations that are succeeding in
writing insurance for the reason that
those that have seen their finish and
put theil business on a basis that
means safety to the insured II these
will act in time, as numerous others
have done, there may be something In
the cry for the privilege of working
out their own salvation, but If they
wait until the crash, when the old
members are required to pay high as.
sessments, and few new ones are ac-
CURED, situation with which some of
the orders have already been face to
face, it is time for the insurance de.
partment and the legislature to take
some action.
The fraternal insurance societies can
put up stronger lobby, than any other
organization, for they have large mem
berships in the legislature and the
local camps can bring pressure to bear
upon every member in the assembly
1t is this situation that makes the
matter serious
