 The order of the Ladies of the Mac cabees of the World is fraternal
 beneficiary society, giving life pro lection to women only. Ii was organ iZed in 1892. and has already over 154, GOO members. having been established
 during that time in 54 states. terri
 tories, and provinces of the United
 States and Canada
 The sterling quality of the protec-
 tion, or life insurance. afforded by this
 woman's society, is youched for by the state insurance departments. who uni
 versally commend the stability of it's
 plans and the careful investment of it's funds. In addition to the amounts on hand for current expenses and death claims. the order has accumu- lated an emergency fund amounting to over four millions of dollars This is conservatively invested in good gov ernment and municipal bonds and draws over sl50,o00 interest annually II This order. though organized when the fraternal beneficiary system was still in the formative stages. has con sistently advanced since it's first year and each successive step which it has taken has been in the direction of permanence and stability for the in- stitution. Changes and improve ments have been made in the plans until in 1904 schedule of rate pay ments was adopted which enables the society to give absolutely safe protec- tion at the lowest possible cost and to assure its members of the. perlnanence of their protection no matter how long they may live. without additional cost as they grow older.
 Besides the nigh class insurance fea lures. this order of women offers un- eXcelled social and fraternal advan- tages. IL has hives in nearly every city and town in the United States and these afford to their members most delightful opportunities for enjoyment, as well as education in parliamentary procedure and business practices. To members who are sick or in need. or who may he sojourning in strange places. the truest fraternity is extend ed. Practical. substantial aid is given where needed. or sympathy, good cheer. and cordial. sisterIy welcome as occasion demands.
 The headquarters of the order are | in the Maccabee Temple at Port Hu- | ron. Mich. and fill the entire build | ing. The system in use and equip l ment of the office are said to be the | most scientific .up-to-date. and com. F,la .f hx- fr,.t x,rl1
