completed and in the hands of the
printer. The report. SO far as it has
been completed makes an exception

its growth in membership Miss
Dade stated today that she hoped to
have the remainder of the report COM
pleted and in the hands of the printer
in the very near future.
One of the very interesting features
of the report so far as this CITY is
concerned is the wonderful growth.
During the three years ending Jan.
last there has been growth in mem
bership of thirty-th and third
per cent. In other words on Jan. ].
1908. there was a total of, in round
numbers 211,000 social and beneficiary
members. On Jan. 1. 1911. the total
membership, social and beneficiary
was in round numbers, 2S9,C00 max

The report will show classification
of the diseases from which deaths
have occurred. Tuberculosis will
stand at the top of the list Follow
ing this pneumonia, disease of the
heart, Brights disease. cancer will be
among the heaviest causes of death
losses to the order.
During that time the society has
taken in not less than million dol
lars year, the greater part of which
has been paid out on death claims OF
deceased beneficial members. The
death rate has not been any heavier
during the past year, comparatively,
than in previous wears. owing to the
great increase of new members adj
mitted The death rate during the
year 1910 was 5.S per cent per thous-
and beneficial members, which is one
tenth Of one per cent greater than dur
ing the year 1909
The surprising increase of one-third
of the entire membership during the
past three years was due to the ex-
cellent work of the field deputies who

The report of the supreme recorder
will indicate that p great deal of the
growth of the society is due to Mrs

maintains in other field workers.
The report will be one of the mos
interesting ever published bv the so
ciety owing to the wonderful growth
