SIXTEEN YEARS Hie Wife had Been a Chronie Is -Cured at Last. Mr. J. T. Scott, Cherokee, Texas, in writing to Dr.

Hartman, stated: "I bad kidney disease for about fifteen sears and had got so bad that could hardly get about and could not perform- aby kind of labor.

LIFE INSURANCE. The Question as Presented to the Citizens of Johnson County by Deputy Sheldon of the Supreme Court of Honor.

Is it safer, cheaper, more business like or in any way, better for. a. man to protect his family or business by purchasing a twenty-year contract or life insurance policy from a commercial insurance company (either old line or mutual), than to obtain what protection he needs in one or more fraternal benefit associations? In answer to this question we state a few facts that to many people will be a revelation, and which we present for the purpose of getting people to lavestigate for themselves to verify them. 1. We make this statementno fraternal benefit association organized on the Lodge Plan has yet failed In America.

Upwards of seventeen hundred thousand certificates are now in force in the United States. 2. By fraternal insurance we do not mean such monstrosities 88 the Iron Hall, the Order of Equity and kindred schemes that promised impossibilities and soon came to grief. They were simply endowment schemes that were to mature like building and loan stock. 3.

We do not include in this statement such commercial companies Abe Masonio and Odd Fellows There have been upwards of eighty of these la this country. Not one was chartered by lodge nor ver made a report to Masonic or Odd Fellows' lodge. They were simply man traps and all failed because the plan was as impossible as to mat square circle. 4. We make the statement that upwards of 80 per cent.

of commercial insurance companies of all kinds, both assessment and old line, have utterly failed. 5. This has been significantly true in this state. Out of nineteen old line companies not one is in existence today and of all other life insurance companies together we do not know of a single experiment that is more than from one year to five years old. What tive record! 6.

The cost of lodge insurance for the past thirty years has been from fourth to half less than it has been possible to buy it from insurance companies, and strange to relate, more than three-fourths of the companies bave "busted," yet the fraternities all live and pay promptly. 7. Fraternal insurance la Amerios 30 years old. The ancient Order of United Workmen, who now have about four hundred thousand members the first. There are only six insurance companies in this country today that are more than 18 years older than the Workmen, and but a few that are old.

The average Workman, who 41 years old paid $10.51 per thousand for his insurance last year. Their 30th year of their greatest growth and prosperity. 8. Fraternal insurance differs from commercial insurance radically. Commercial insurance a business organized by men for profit, the same as the merchant, banker or manufacturer.

Every man who represents it is there for the dollara and cents. Every premium paid by the insured yields a handsome commission to the agent and leaves a large margin to pay the salarles of officers and other expenses. The part that it actually takes to pay death claims is the smallest part. 9. Fraternal insurance does pot exist for profit.

It has no commercial feature; is has nothing to sell. The fraternity insures each other and members come in without commissions the same as they do into a church Masonic lodge. They sanually eleos set of directors from their number attend to the business of the The expense la so small compared to the expense of commercial companies that might fraternal Insurance is without year the es pease for the Court of Hoser, men, 55c; Royal Arcanum, 56c; Knights of Honor, 960.

The Court of Honor represents the very latest and most vigorous branch of braternat insurance. (Preferred risks and territory only admitted.) The experience of the Bankers of DesMoines, Modern Woodmen of America and Court of Honor, covering a space of twenty years and a membership aggregating 400,000 shows that no member of average age has ever paid over about $5 per year the on $1,000 ance.

Last year average aged member of the Court of Honor patd 83 per $1,000 insurance the entire year. 11. Franklin Court of Honor was organized upwards of a year ago. James B. Payne is chancellor and Alonzo N.

Byers treasurer. The doors are now open for charter members. Upwards of twenty-Ave new members have already given their applications. We want one hundred more. Ladles and gentlemen from 181 to 50.

years of age are eligible for membership. The above facts are easy to verify or disprove. We state them as facts. If they are facts then 75c on each dollar paid for protection to commercial companies is wasted. It is equally true that for thirty years the fraternities have furnished the only insurance that has never failed to protect.

Franklin is now my headquarters and I will. be glad to explain in detail all of the valuable features of an order that increased 185 per cent. in membership last year, and which furnished the most economical protection of any association in the United States. ED. G.
