Of America.

—= $105,000,000.00 =
This amount of payments has been equaled by only eight old line life insurance companies in their en-
tire career, covering from 37 to 69 years. Based on its own experience the M. W. of A. has adopted rates
ADEQUATE A EQUITABLE A
OUNI
No Old Line Life Insurance Company can give such a rate, or use its actual experience. All are compelled to base premium rates on the death rates of the
American Experience Table of Mortality, averaging one-fourth greater than that actually experienced, and the policyholders must pay on that scale. I - -

RESULT: Annual rates per $1,000. of insurance, level for life, leading old line companies
contrasted with the level whole life annual rates of the ModernWoodmen '
These things are accomplished by .
the new tables of rates of the Mod

“These Tables of rates have been adopted to en-
able members of the Modern Woodmen Society to
numerous benefits besides the following-

Young Women
Read what Cardui did for Miss Myria Engler, of
Faribault, Minn. She says: "Let me tell you how much
good Cardui has done me. As a young girl, I always had
to suffer so much with all kind of pain. Sometimes, I was
so weak that 1 could hardly stand on my feet I got a
bottle of Cardui, at the drug store, and as soon as I had
taken a few doses, I began to feel better.
Today, I feel as well as anyone can."

NEED ON A TECHNICALITY
Man Undoubtedly Guilty of Cruelty to
Whales, but No Law Covered
the Caee.
An officer of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animali
appealed from the decisionof jus-
tices of Penzance, Cornwall. Enge
land, who had dismissed an Infor-
mation charging Alfred James Rog-
era with cruelty to certain whales.
The defendant was not represent-
ed.
Mr. Bevan, in support of the ap-
peal, said that in July a school of
about sixty large whales were swim-
ming in Mount’s bay. As the tide
receded they were left high and dry
on the beach. The inhabitants
walked among the whales, which
could not get away, and the defend-
ant stabbed ‘one under the eye and
ripped it with a knife for three or
four feet. The justices found that
he had been guilty of cruelty, but
that as the whales were not animals
in captivity the case did not come
within the act for the prevention of
cruelty to wild animals in captivity.
After arguments; the court af-
firmed the decision of the justices.

WORLD'S WORKERS IN DIAMONDS
Antwerp is known as the center of
the diamond-cutting industry of the
world, and how much of an industry
it is is surprisingly shown by the
recent publication of figures giving
numerous members assist in bring-
ing up the little ones. The babies ,__.____•
are always in the arum or on the the number of diamond workers in
back of mother, sister, father or i. - 2_
brother; and as soon as they can were at Antwerp only 300 diamond
walk they toddle about with their--1— 424 4 RADA
elders, their little bodies trussed up
in wadded clothes and their yellow
heads a varied pattern of small,
erect pigtails and shaven surfaces.
Until they are five or six years old
boys and girls are treated much
alike. They are always underfoot,
swarming on the streets and in the
■ cramped houses of the poor, play-
ling softly together in the many-
the various countries. In 1871 there
workers and their annual wages
amounted to $120,000, but in 1911,
the industry having passed beyond
the limits of Antwerp, there were in
Belgium 16,000 diamond workers
and their wages amounted to $8,000,-
000. In comparison there were only
8,000 diamond workers in Holland.
