WAR IN MOD. wooDMzN CAMP
Fight to Prevent Adoption Of An in.
creased Assessment

Chicago, Jan. 24-Insurgency arose
In the adjourned meeting of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America yesterday
and the fight to prevent adoption OF
the head officers plan Of increasing
insurance assessments was on. The
head camp will be in session all this
week, 1t being the intention to with
hold vote on the proposition until a
thorough canvass of the delegates
has been made. The plan OF increase
is based on the recommendation OF
state insurance commissioners, who
met in Mobile, Ala, year ago and
prepared sample and uniform law
for governing fraternal insurance
companies. Sixteen fraternals have
adopted the plan. BY extensive
growth, says the Woodmen officials,
the low rate of insurance heretofore
in effect has been sufficient.
Head officers submitted figures cal
culated to show that by January /
1914 the lodge would have attalnable
assets of $3OO,OO0,OOO, less than
enough to meet the face value OF
policies Their plan would be to
increase rates materially, but to
scale increases for members more
than So years old so that the cost
of their insurance would not be pro
hibtiye A maximum assessment
limit of SO for a $1,000 policy foI
these men was suggested.

first two occurrences Of the word ne

and breath. The theory that the dis

WHERE TO SHlRK.
Don't Wipe Dishes; Put Them In Dish
Drainer.

DON'T wipe DiShesi Put Them In Dish
Drainer.
There is a happy medium between
overconscientiousnes and shiftless-
ness. AS one wise mother used to say
to her daughters, ''learn to shirk :"
That Is the only way housekeeper
can get the best out Of life.
How many minutes each day do you
waste wiping dishes? Either minutes
Of your own or of one you employ. If
you are one Of the favored 10 per cent
who employ maid. Suppose it is only
ten minutes per meal-a low estimate
for an average sized family and the
average rate Of speed at which most
homework is done. Even at this low
estimate in the course of one year you
nave used up 1927 hours!
What might you not have done with
that 1921 hours! You might have had
a half hour each day for rest and read
ing and been fresher and happier when
your family came together at night.
You might have spent the time in study
and had something added to your store
Of thoughts, or If your work Is so sys-
tematized that you already have time
for rest or study how much help you
might have given others in that half
hour each day.
Don't wipe dishes. Wash In hot
soapy water, put In dish drainer. each
dish as nearly upright as possible. and
pour hot water over them to rinse thor
oughly. or spraying with hot wafe" is
