vantages compared with Paris. where
fogs and smoky chimneys are not
regular institutions. A larndryman

the too often sadly misleading words
"Blanchisserie Franchise" condemned

Purified English table linen was
held up as pattern the foreigner
might envy, but the feeling prevailed
that our home washed and ironed
material might appeal more kindly

One of the most benefcient in
fluences of secret organization is
the fact that it induces men to
forget their political differences.
When they enter the Lodge room
they are no longer Republicans or
Democrats, but men united in a
common brotherhood. Much of
the acrimony and bitterness of
party strife is kept down by the
reason that the political leaders
belong to some society of that
class, and their organization teach
es them to harbor no resentment.
We believe that were it not for
secret societies there would be
much more trouble in the political
parties that there is at present.
The restraining influence of the
Lodge room is of untold benefit.
