readjustment of rates bY all fraternal societies on a basis that will provide sound insurance and assets sufficient to meet all outstanding contracts was found to have resulted in gains. The cheap rate" societies. which have re- fused to increase their rates sufficient ly to provide for the future claims that mortality experience shows to be inevitable, have been put on the de- fensive.- with insurance commissioners of many of the states pointing out the calamity which confronts their mem bership. A letter from Insurance Com missioner McComb of Oklahoma has been made public by Carlos s. Hardy of the Knights of Pythias concerning the situation:
 q would be glad to give you any Information in this department in re- gard to fraternal beneficiary associa- tions. as I have watched with a great deal of interest the efforts of leading societies to adjust their business to an adequate basis. -FFaternal insur- ance fills want. carries protection in the homes of a great many people that otherwise would not be protected This itself is sufficient argument and justification for fraternal insurance not only this, but the system of frater- nal insurance in collecting premiums or assessments monthly makes il easier for poor people to pay than il they were required to pay annually in advance.
 Tt is said. that no one is so blind as he who will not see, and I hope that the managements of the various societies will prove themselves bis enough men to advocate and stand fol sound insurance. To argue for sound insurance does not argue against fra ternal insurance. Those who contend that a man is an enemy to fraterna insurance because he advocates. ade- quate rates does not correctly stat,

The. Ber1eticia Vacation.

~ HERE are many kinds and varieties of vacations, from a simple two A weeks spent in a country home,
 where one hears the crickets and
 frogs in their chorus with the even ing insects, to the trip abroad, visits in the old countries and scenes made famous in history. Some vacations are beneficial and others are not. The simple country for two weeks Is more liable to be of great aid to the one who needs real rest than the trip across the ocean.
 All kinds of exercises are recommended for the yacationist, but the exercise must not be taken too strongly. 0veT-indulg- ence in athletics often spells One's entire trip. and the woman who goes to the seashore for rest Is often more exhausted on her return than when she left the city.
 In the country, where many city peo- pie spend their summer vacation, one can indulge in too strenuous exercise. Tennis is good, and one of the best ex- ercises, but even tennis, when played to the extreme, will tire one out and make one nervous and Irritable. so that when the return home is made the effect of the over1ndulgencs is manifest.
 On the other hand, some regular exer-
 
 about in a hammock reading the latest novel all the time. No exercise is even worse than too much The lolfing and the exercise combined, with neither taken to the extreme, are thoroughly bene- nciaL c
 At the seashore one Is very apt to oFertndulge in swimming. This popular sport in the waves is one of the best exercises. developing the muscles. yet when taken to the extreme 1t is most injurious. A swim in the evening or in the early morning is the best, the plunge being taken only for a few moments at each time. Golf can be played to the extreme, as can even croQuet. but both of these exercises are very healthful when mot cyertadulged in- Too much boating also often has its i'll effect

the facts In fact, the adequate rate man is the true friend of fraternal in-
 surance, and not the man that advO- cates a continuation of business at an inadequate rate. Certainly the man
 who is fortunate enough to live many years and who has contributed all
 these years to societies has the right to expect the payment of his policy when it becomes a claim just as much
 as the man who unfortunately died early Has not the gray-haired wom-
 an in black as much moral right to expect her money as the woman whose husband died in early life? Equity between policy holders cannot be maintained unless both are paid when the policies become claims. I trust and believe that a system of educa- ton conducted by those who are big enough men to stand for the right will soon result in such improvements in fraternal insurance that the people who purchase policies in fraternal orders will do so advisedly. with a justified feeling that their insurance is as good as the best The insurance phase of fraternal societies is simply a business proposition. no more nor less, and should be treated as such. The nature of the organization of fra ternal societies makes it possible for them to conduct their business in a different way to a certain extent from that of insurance companies. in that they are able to make a success of monthly premium business and it is doubtful whether or not insurance companies can compete with frater- nals on monthly premium business
 The expense of an honestly managed fraternal society should be. and natur- ally will be, reasonable, and l believe that the system is here to stay. shall watch with a great deal of inter est the result of the meeting of our congress this year, and l sincerely be-

The Justueds Start o,1 Their. Vacation.

 For solid week before they left town NIT. Justwed claimed. Mrs J. had been stewlng and fretting and fussing and fum- Ing about the awfulness of the task of preparing for q vacation. She absolutely hadn't rag to her name! And she didn't see how she could make the necessary gowns on such short notice-even with the help of two seamstresses. There were a thousand and one things to be done-and nobody to do them but herself
 All Of which. be 1t stated. made MT. J extremely weary
 Honest, Blossom" he exclaimed, you women are beyond me. Here we are. Fortunate enough to be able to enjoy A trip to the ocean. and yet you can't even make the preparations that you consider necessary without complaining about having to make them. Do you suppose that l growl and grumble about staying at the bank after hours in order to get my work up sufficiently to take a two weeks vacation? No, of course not. The trouble with you women is that you aren't content with reasonable. common sense preparations. Why. from the clothes you are having made, one would imagine you were preparing for a wedding trip How's that? The awful packing7 Huh! Just you leave that to me. I'll show you how to do systematically without this foolish fuss and splutter about the awful ness of the job"
 And Mrs. Justwed let 1t go at that

At last-at last-one of those blessed straps was buckledl Wip- Ing his persptring brow, he climbed up on top of the trunk again. and was putting the other strap through 'the third de- gree when Mrs. Justwed entered

You let me get everything packed and fixed without any or the fuss you are accustomed to have. and then You inform me that haven't everything fin the trunkI That's just the way with you womeni If you'd let me attend to this I've got the trunk all locked. and I'll be switched if open hindr'
 'Locked?' questioned Mrs. Justwed You haven't locked it yet, Homer. You've only strapped it''
 "Only-oniy-s stra-strapped itr' gasped MT. J., beside himself Gee whiz! Per haps you think that's easy! I'll get that key in a minute and 1t will be locked though! Where did you put that keyf''

Dr. Edward Everett Hale was a foe

Dr. Edward Everett Hale was foe to long sermons. He used to tell story of a long winded preacher and the minor prophets This preacher" so Doctor Hale would begin, "Once preached over an hour on the four greater prophets, and then. when his exhausted congregation thought he was through, he took a long breath, turned a fresh page. and, leaning over the pulpit. said: We now come to the more complex question of the minor prophets. First let us assign to them their proper order Where. brethren, shall we place Hosea?'

 Don't forget that summer moon works wonders with a chap whom you might not fancy much in the city-and don't forget that you. too. are susceptible to its demOralizing rays.
 Don't think that the other guests aren't wise to what Is going on between you and the chap who Is rushing you when both of you sit in the hammock and make 'sheeps eyes at each other. They've been there themselves and the more you try to pull the wool over their eyes the greater chump you are making of yourself

 Don't be forever and a day telling the other guests what you are accustomed to in your own home and complaining about the board and rooms where you are
 Dont-oh, don't-interrupt the bridge players, not even to warn. them of an approaching thunderstorm! When it really begins to rain they will move in- side-if it's a hard rain.
 Don't think that precise explanation of the exact number of fellows back in the city, who . rite to you each-week. Is going to help you any in your summer fiirtations where you are. And .don,t show even one word of. their letters to anyone.
 Above all, don't gossip. Mind your own business and leave your hammer at home in moth balls.

The Ski,, ir, Summer.

@sHE blazing sun is. probably harder H than the bitter wind of winter on - the skin, but a tepid or moist sum mer has an excellent effect. The Ameri- can climate, unlike that of England has m effect of drying out the skin. especial ly In places away from the coast. The American woman Is not fond of indoor life; she must be In the open; hence the blazing summer sun ruins many q com plexion. The question arises as to what 10 do to protect the skin. One cannot wear heavy veil-that Is absurd Cos metics may serve on cold winter after noon, but they are almost uBbearable In summer, and even the powder must be put on carefully.
 When one goes ouI into the open air on hot days or in the bllnding glare of the suns rays one should always coat the face with little cold cream to make a slight protective layer of grease over the cutlcle. through which the rays will not penetrate. And over this should be dusted some violet talcum or fine rice powder. Special care should be taken later to wash the powder. cream and dust from the face. Tepid water should be used. with. little almond meal instead of soap, Soap is not good to rub on the face in summer unless one is quite sure 1t is pure. Good drinking water is also es- sential to the purity of the skin. Very hot water is excellent fin both summer and winter. as Is orange juice. taken be- fore the meals and throughout the after noon. When the skin burns and Is harsh it does not need water, but should be cleaned with cold cream and wiped with q soft cloth. then sponged with a mild solution sof oenzoin and alcohol

@ TAILOR-MADE SUITS.

ID EGARDLESS of the fact that it was N predicted that tailor-made suits N would be a thing of the past this summer and fall. the women cling to them with tenacity. The efforts to launch a new skirt with a pannier effect had it's vogue for a short time, but the return to the tailor-made was rapid. skirt with shirred waistband is also one of the latest effects. and some are seen dot ted with foulard. a girdle to match and the foundation of color on plain satin. Many of the favorite tailor-made suits are of silk and wool combinations. and the white wool suit. Is one of the sea- sons essentials.
 White serge probably has no rival among the white wOOlens. yet the Preach dreSsmakers have used a sort of cord cloth. not unlike heavy whipcord. The Bedford cord and cctele effects are also worn thls summer. Large and loose sep arate- coats are made of white serge. and they are very comfortable to throw over summer gown in the evening. They add very little warmth. One coat Is shown with raglan shoulder and a seam up the bias of the back.
 BATHING SUIT FOR BABY. EAA ANY mothers who go to the sea
 H vshore- or the lake resorts where th kthere is good bathing are often per plexed as to what kind of bathing suit to make for the chubby little yOungster, who Is probably just getting anxious to paddle in the waves. This can be made over his own Russian blouse pattern. boomers and all. These suits should be made of wooden material. and either cream or blue serge is the most satis- factory because 1t does not thicken as does flannel when wet The belt can also be used.

 H square. preferably old, will save your y kitchen towel and many a burnt hand This square should be hemmed and a loop of tape, by which to hang it, fastened at one end. It will form a better holder for handling hot utensils, or in taking pies, cakes, etc, from your oven.
 An excellent cleaner for lamp chimneys Is made by fastening to the end of a stick a sponge just large enough. when immersed fin water. to 1t the chimney Wipe your chimney inside with this. and. after rinsing. dry with soft piece of linen.
 In order to keep your knives clean and bright take some wood ashes and mix with the fine scruplngs of q raw Irish potato. Rub this over the blades with a cloth. and, after rinsing, dry with soft flannel.
 A wire basket for washing lettuce is excellent. Place your lettuce inside the basket and let the water flow slowly through. This will remove all grit with out crushing the leaves.
 In washing blankets put cupful of soft soap and two tablespoonfuls of borax Into tub of luke-warm water When this has had time to entirely dissolve, put fin your blankets and let them stand for half day. Then wash carefully and rinse thoroughly in several waters. Do not wiring them. Have someone take hold of one end of the blanket and you. grasp the other firmly in your hand. Shake the blanket carefully and hang up to dry.
 Paper tunnels, made of pieces of wrap- ping paper, are useful in preventing waste when pouring sugar. flour, tea. ccf. fee. etc, into their proper receptacles from the bags in which they came from the store.

In the country people go to bed early-"with the chick ems" some have said, and the summer boarder should do likewise. Arise with the sun and take a long walk before breakfast. With the pealing of the break fast bell the appetite will be great and the good country cooking will satisfy 1t. The hammock should be stretched at some convenient place under a large tree, where in the heat of the day one can find rest and comfort with a good book. In the cool of the evening the tennis court, even though 1t be very crude in It's construction, will be found interesting. The mind should be kept free from household cares and the worry supposed to have been left behind in the city, or the vacation will never be bene- dcial.
