RATE COMMITTEE
FINISHES WORK
Has Prepared New Table of
Fees for Insurance in the
Modern Woodmen.
SUGGEST A TERM POLICY
Recommendation VIII Come Before
the Adjourned Meeting of the
Head Camp.

The Woodman rate revision commit
tee which has been at work for two
months past devising plans whereby
the society's assets may be made per
manently equal to the liabilities, has
finally arrived at a conclusion which
was made public today. The commit
tee recommends that the society adopt
two forms of insurance instead Of the
present one form. These are the life
plan and the term plan. The life plan
is similar to the one now in operation
in the Woodmen as well as practically
all other societies Of like nature, and
the term plan is one which permits a
member to insure his life for a certain
number of years or up to a certain def
mite date.
COULD TRANSFER.
1t Is pointed out by the committee
that many wish TO be protected by
cheap insurance such as fraternities
offer, bat feel that they have use for
it only for a short time. They hesitate
about going into it for life on that &C
count. The term plan will permit all
who desire to insure their life for as
long a time as they think necessary,
and the rate would be accordingly
small. At any time a term member
desired 10 become a life member, the
committee believes he should be al.
lowed to transfer without taking an
additional medical examination, pro-
vided he has not passed the age of so
years.
RATE RECOMMENDATION
Regarding the new life rates which
are to keep the society permanently OF
the rocks, the committee makes the
following recommendations
''First-That present members, at ali
ages, is to IS years, and new members
ages is to As years, may pay a monthly
unchanging rate, beginning with a rate
of rs cents per $1,000 at the age of IS
and running according 10 age to a max
imum rate of So per 81 900 at the age
| of 10. For present members beyond
the age of is the rate will continue
level, according to age, until it reache,
maximum of So per 81, 900 at the az.
OF 81, which maximum rate will apply
for all present members beyond tht
/ age Of 81
'Second-That present member,
over the age Of As, re-rated on tn.
basis as outlined. but who desire {,
carry the maximum of insurance for ,
minimum cash outlay, may, II they 81
desire, pay In cash the rate Of 50 De

INVITATION FOR PUBLIC

At the request of the Rock Island

of education last evening granted the
use of the high school assembly room

by DR.. ]. P. Buckley, professor at the

ISOLATION. The public is invited to be
present, and it is promised that the
lecture will be of use to any one who
desires to regain or continue in good
health.
TALK Is EDUCATIONAL.
The discourse is along educational
lines and tends to show that neglect
of the teeth is the cause of much so
called dullness in school pupils and
i'll health in their elders. All over the
country there is a movement on foot
to remedy the evils which arise from
poor teeth. 1t has been proven that
many children who are thought dull
are so through i'll health caused by
poor assimilation of food, which il
turn is caused by uncared for teeth.
In many cities educational authori
ties have ordered periodical examina
tons of the teeth of the pupils, and
the results have shown the wisdom Of
such a move. 1t is to teach the public
just how much trouble bad or i'll KEEP
teeth can cause, that DIR. Buckley i.

some places and probably more in

The general average value of the
ore in that vicinity is around $50

taken across the ledge in various
places have run from that figure
up to $40.
But when it comes TO size it is
the ore body after it reaches the 1875

1t is larger there than any known
