LODGE NOTES MODERN WnAnMEM

The death rate of more, than million members of the Modem Wood men of America the largest fraternal insurance organization in the country, has been increased to meet the abnorm al death losses resulting from the in- fiuenza epidemic which caused re- ducticn in the beneficiary fund of the order from s112,000,000 to s700.000.
 On the present membership the in crease is a fiat advance of 50 per cent. and all new. members joining hereaft- CT will have to pay materially in- creased rates.
 Even this increase is said to not a strictly acturial rate but it was as far as the membership could be induced to go at this time.
 The action was taken at special meeting of the head camp of the order at Chicago, after three days debate.
 Two tables of rates were adopted. one for new members and the other table for new members is based upon the experiences of the Modern Wool men of America and is materially lower than the National Fraternal Congress table of rates. This will meet the requirements of the ade- Quate rate laws of the various states.
