First: There would !>• gains from actual Interest earned in excess of 4 per cent., which is the amount the Actuary fixes as the basis of calculation. calculation. As a matterXot fact, the average interest earned by the Society, upon Its Insurance Fund, as at present Invested, Invested, is 5.44 per cent. As the securities securities held by the Society are mostly mostly for long terms, there should be a substantial gain on interest account. Second : There would be a saving from a lower death rate by reason of the fact that the first-five years of ifrembership has been .eliminated by Mr. Landis in constructing his mortality mortality table. Third; There would also be gains from r < cumulation forfeited through lapses. No allowance was made for ! such gains In fixing the schedule of i ra t0 S Fourth: There would be a surplus ■ in contributions owing to the fact that, ! after eliminating the first five years of membership, the Actuary loaded the tabular rates by an arbitrary sum to make assurance doubly sure. Notices of motion have gone out to the membership providing for read- I justment, and this legislation will be i considered at the next meeting of the ! High Court of the Order in June. I The rates for merfnbersjseho .are now j in the Order start at sixteen, with a I monthly assessment of 65c; at twenty the rate Is 69c; at thirty, 85c; at thirty-five, $1.08; at forty-five, $1.53. with gradually increasing rates for the older ages. The rates for new members members start at- sixteen, with a rate of 65c; at twenty, 73c; at thirty. $1.02; at thirty-five, $1.23; at forty, $1.52; at forty-four, $1.83. Two options are given to those who 1 are already members of the Order. ! One option provides that all members members who are between the attained ages of sixteen to forty-five, inclusive, ages elect to take term Insurance, which will entitle them to carry their present Insurance at their present fate until they have attained the age of Is Through the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actually Make. The blood is responsible for the health of the body. If it is good, disease disease cannot exist. If it is bad, the door is shut against good health, disease disease is bound to appear in one form or another. One person may be seized seized with rheumatism or sciatica, another another with anaemia, indigestion, heart palpitation, ' headaches or backaches, unstrung nerves,^or any of the many other forms of "ailment that comes when the blood is weak and watery. There i just one certain, speedy cure --Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They make new, rich, red blood, and this good blood strengthens the whole system system and brings good^health and happiness. Thousands owe their present good health, some, life itself, to the pills.

The Canadian Order of Foresters has had a record possibly without parallel In the history of Fraternal Insurance Associations operating in Canada. This Society was instituted in 1879. In 18"5 it enacted a table of monthly assessments which has been in force from that time down to the present without a single change. During that period all other Fraternal Insurance Societies, it is claimed, have found it necessary to revise rates, until this Society stands as the only^prominent Institution operating upon a remarkably remarkably low schedule of rates. In 1916 the Society paid out in death claims over $726,000.00. Notwithstanding this large payment, it added to the Insurance Insurance Fund, for the year, over $422,- 000.00. The balance standing to the credit of the Insurance Fund on the -31st of December last was $5,628,343.00. In spite of this most unusual record, the Society decided to have^ a most thorough and comprehensive investigation investigation made of its actuarial standing. This course was thought wise on account account of the legislation passed by the Ontario Legislature at its last session. The Legislature in 1916 passed an Act which requires that all Fraternal Insurance Societies shall, on or before the first day of April, 1918, file a report report with the Registrar of Friendly Societies, which report shall contain a valuation of all its Insurance Certificates Certificates in force on the 31st December, 1917. This report must not only show the Insurance Liability which the Society Society has undertaken to pay, but also the Assets which the Society has available, available, in the way of accumulated Funds, and future assessments for the payment payment of the Insurance Liabilities as they mature. The object of this statement statement is to show the degree of actuarial actuarial solvency which each Society has, as of December 31st, 1917. The Act provides further, that at the end of each three-year period, after 1917, a similar statement of valuation shall be filed in order to ascertain whether or not the Society has maintained its degree of actuarial solvency. The object object of the Act is, that where a society shows at the end. of the first three- year term that it has not maintained its degree of actuarial solvency that there shall be such an increase in rates as will insure that the society shall maintain the degree of solvency which it had on 31st December, 1917, or improve that position. In view of this legislation, the Canadian Canadian Order of Foresters ddbided not to wait until the 31st December, 1917, to ascertain the facts required by the Act, and, shortly after the Act was passed in 1916, this Society engaged Mr. Abb Landis, of Nashville, Tennessee, Tennessee, for the purpose of investigating its actuarial standing, as of the 31st December, 1915. Mr. Landis is one of the leading actuaries on the American' continent to-day, and is so recognized in the Insurance "world. His experience experience extends over a term of twenty- five years, eighteen years of "which has been devoted exclusively to Fraternal Insurance Associations. In these eighteen years Mr. Landis has advised with one hundred and eighty-six societies, societies, six of these societies being Canadian. Canadian. He has also been for fifteen years on the Committee of Statutory ! Legislation of the National Fraternal j Congress, and has been prominently i identified with the drafting- of all bills dealing with Fraternal Insurance legislation. legislation. Mr. Landis is also the author of eight books on Insurance, which are accepted as authorities to-day. Tho Actuary has found that.during its whole experience of thirty-six years, the Canadian Order of Foresters Foresters has had an exceptionally favorable favorable mortality experience. Because of this exceedingly favorable mortality experience, and the large amount of accumulated funds, Mr. Landis has been able to prepare unusually favorable favorable monthly assessment rates, w-hich will enable the Society to provide for the payment of all future claims. These rates of assessment, as compared compared with rates deduced.from other mortality tables, is very much to the advantage of the members of the Canadian Canadian Order of Foresters. In constructing a mortality table on the experience of the Society, Mr. Landis Landis has eliminated the first five years of membership duration. The object of this course is" in order to insure the death rate under more nearly normal conditions than would be possible by taking the first five years of duration into consideration. During the first five years there is a gain from recent medical selection. He has recommended recommended a schedule of rates, which, based upon the report which will be filed as of the 31st December, 1917, should show more than 100 per cent, of actuarial solvency, because of margins of safety which may be classified as follows : -- sixty years. .

The figures for hogs show a decrease, due to the several large war orders received received by some of the western packing firms from the allies. One firm alone is said to have received an order for ham and bacon, that called for 359,000 head of hogs. The increase in the number of sheep is one of the outstanding features features of the -government report. The increase, approximately 30 percent, is very gratifying. Many of the smaller flocks of sheep as they have found out that the climate was very suitable to them, provided a certain amount of shelter was supplied during the short periods when the weather might otherwise be too severe. Tim report estimates that there are at present 2,048,354 cattle irf the three western provinces, 565,709. being milch cows and the balance beef and other cattle. This shows an increase of nearly. 16 percent over 1913, and also the very large number of beef cattle that have been marketed during the past couple of years must be taken into into consideration. Many large war orders'were filled in Western Canada. The Dominion and Provincial Governments Governments and the Canadian Pacific Railway, through its Agricultural and Animal Industry Branch, have all aided aided the farmers in every possible way y and have published broadcast literature literature showing the best results that have been obtained on the various experimental experimental and demonstration farms. The Canadian Pacific has several ^ of these farms throughout the West, with an expert in charge of each, and at every cattle sale these farms are represented by animals of a very high class, both for breeding, milch and beef animals. The experts in charge of these farms will at all times aid in any way they can the farmer who seeks advice with reference to the best there are about l,600,000_acres of per manent pasture-in Scotland, and 1,- 500,000 acres in temporary pasture. Much of the permanent pasture is only suited for grazing stock and certain areas also of grazing land are unsuit- . able to break up, but, it is added, in th^ hands of both farmers and occupying occupying owners there are many acres which, in present circumstances should be brought under the plough. The report considers that steps should be taken to find out what land now in grass is suitable for growing grain and other crops, and to secure that it be cultivated. Also that steps should be taken to cultivate lands now let as grass parks and home policies, where the ordinary organization of a farm does not exist. It also recommends that when deemed advisable, the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, by themselves or their nominees, should enter, occupy and cultivate such lands. * -- ROYAL YEAST CAKES ijAl The best^ yeast in the world.
