time, poking about and enjoying a
good look at them all. If one can
afford it, it is a good plan to take
plenty Of money to the bazaars; but
if, on the other hand, one has to re-
strict the amount to be spent, it is as
well to empty all extra cash out OF
ones purse, or the temptation will
certainly be too great, and the extra
will melt away. Everything always

good to miss; but if the money is

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS GAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman Of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention Of Insurance Com
m~issioners, prior to the last Head
Camp Of the Modern Woodmen OF
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action Of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session In
December last, l write you this ex.
preston Of views as to the necessity
of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-placing
itself on a firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
Of insurance Is fixed by laws other
than mans l~aws-namely, the laws OF
nature-or prescribes for its men,
bers either a fat rate, irrespective OF
the age Of it's members. or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when 1t must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit Is a
good thing; but the rates and a
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tilcate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on q sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
a sound basis they have a much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea, by reason Of it's long experience
with a large membership, Is permitted
to make a rate upon its own expert
ence. which is v e. lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
RISbS LdDlo, WulCu uc" bOClclloD u
adopt. The cost Of this insurance Is
not a matter Of mortality tables or
rates charged. but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share OF that
cost. Members who think Of drop
ping their insurance will do we'll to
take enough time to study the Ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
1T Is unpleasant for the members
of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance,
but let them think how much more un-
pleasant it would be for those 5000.
900 women and children, or any OF
them, to be deprived Of that protec-
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That Is what all Wood
men should think about"

month, then / went to q doctor and

as If l was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when 1t started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
SO badly I couldn't stand it any more.
81 went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, SO l decided to try
them. l had been using Cuticura
Soap, so I got me a box Of C%uticura
Ointment. and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a
day, and then put the Cuticura ONT
ment on. The first day I put 1t IN, 1t
relieved me Of itching SO I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then I could see the scab come of. I
kept the treatment up for three weeks.
and my eczema was cured.
my brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The people all

There is no r~ehandling of milk, and,

Pure Mater for Dairy.

When we consider that a large por-
ton of the cows body is composed Of
water; that milk contains more water
than any other one ingredient, and
that it must require a great quantity
Of water to keep the temperature of
the animals down during the extreme
hot weather, We should appreciate the
necessity of keeping the dairy cows
well supplied with pure drinking wa
