There are now only two members of the order drawing benefits and their disabilities are result of accidents or grip. The general health of the members is excellent and the average age of the members of Court Sandy Hook makes the possibility of any member becoming permanent burden on the Court remote indeed.

The Philadelphia Record says: Mix plenty of land plaster with your manure. Plaster absorb gases, arrests the escape of ammonia and is of itself an excellent fertilizer. For grass crops and as spec ial fertilizer for clover, it is unexceled. It is also cheap compared with it's real value. Used in hills with corn, plaster assists in attracting both moisture and ammonia from the air and gives the young plants good start.
