WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Ma.
uonal Convention of Insurance Com.
missloners, 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
sloners, at It's adjourned session In
December last, | write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
of your order-as we'll as all other
fraternal benefit ocieties-pacing
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 laws-namely, the laws of
nature-or prescribes for it's men,
bers either fiat rate, irrespective Of
the age of its 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 it must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man.
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
tificate 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 a sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with re-rating on
a sound basis they have 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 its long experience
with large membership is permitted
to make rate upon its own expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance is
not matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each men,
Der shall pay his real share of that
cost Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do well 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:
ut 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 I'M /
pleasant it would be for those 5000 ,
NON women and children, or anv 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"

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 10
The kingdom OF West Virginia has a

but the Bull Moose himself should
come down here and give MIN cour'
age.
William +. Glasscock Is governor
at such times and in such places as
the West Virginia coal dukes allow
him 20 govern.
Gov. Glasscock, 70 be fair, is oppos-
ed TO the guard system which has
spread hate desolation and death
over the Kanawha valley this sum
mer. He deplores the dreadful con-
ditions and says that the guard sys-
TEN should be abolished

Marvellous New Pain-Killer
BY A PHYSICIAN.

A new leaf in the great book OF
surgery is being turned every day.
The alienation Of bodily suffering Is
perpetual problem. And every hui
man being has cause TO feel the
keenest interest In each step OF pro-
gress made Could the sense OF pain
be eliminated from the list OF human
woes, the face Of man would grow
round with happiness.
II what Is claimed for II be true,
the new, wonderful discovery OF a
wellkaown London surgeon. DR.. F.
w. Forbes Ross. NJ. D., will abolish
human pain consequent upon injury
or operation.
Or. Ross says he has discovered the
wide application OF prolonged local
anaesihetic which will kill" pain,
folio ing the severest bodily accident,
or during and after the severest sur
gical operation.
DR.. Ross says "the preparation is
a por cent solution OF Quinine and
urea nydrochloride. The method OF
use IL very simple and the prepara-
tio1 Is so very cheap that IL cents
covers the cost of an injection OF IL.
"In the operation the patient Is put
under a general anaesthetic-chloro-
form or ether-in the ordinary way,
and theI five TO ten cubic centimeters
OF a / per cent solution Of Quinine
and urea hydrochloride are distribut-
ed over the nerve supply OF the part
concern ed
THE effect OF such an injection is
TO produce a total loss OF sensation
OF pain. Popularity the affected part
Is put to sleep messages OF pain
from the nerves TO the brain are cut
of A patient treated thus feels no
pain after the operation"
Should Dr. Ross's discovery be as
practical, cheap and effective as he
believes, a new era In surgery and
the trcs tment of all severe pain is no
doubt at hand.

THE CLOSE OF THE BROMLEY

A few weeks ago the christian peo-

to what they hoped and prayed would
be a great religious awakening in our
city. There was a diversity of views
and opinions. The local situation was
not one calculated to Inspire faith and
optimistic vision. Thru the large corps
of workers limited to our city only
served to intensity the feeling that the
program suggested By the pastors vas
too hig to be entertained, but the
churches of Wagner have some brave,
heroic men ana women who are not
afraid to "Graw the bow at q vulture"
and tackle the impossible. With an
eye on al infinite God and the needs Of
