There ia in friendship more than

knights Of pythias. IL was in keeping
with the "eternal fitness of things
that the order should havs had ito
origin in the capital Of our country
Just at the close Of our Civil War. Its
ranks are composed OF the best citizsns
of the towns and cities throughout the
whole Of the United States and Canada.
and no other civic order has con-
trihuted 10 many OF. ITS ranks to our
volunteer soldisry. But the Pythian
soldiers have no immunity against ILL.,
ness; therefore, the knights in Chatta.
nooga. headed by Supreme Representa-
tive DIR. f. b. Wise, have opened
Pythian hospital for the aecommoda-
tion of such of their brothers as may
become i'll while 10 camp ut Chicka-
manga Park.
While tho military hospitals are ably
providing for the click, an auxiliary in
stitution on the infirmary plap, as the
Pythian hospital 10 intended to be, Is
of great Importance. Away from tho

ministrations OF trained nurses, sistars,

receive assistance from members OF the
| order throughout the supreme domain,
az the amount of good accomplished
will depend largely upon the voluntary
offerings made by brother knights with
which to carry on the work.
The improvements of a permanent
character that ara being made at Camp
