The editor believes that all Lodges
would be willing to increase their
membership, but they do not know
how to go about it, and they are sur
prised when they read in their oific-
ial oagan how well some Lodges have
succeeded in this respect. We will
give the following simple directions,
which, if strictly followed, will
bring the desired result.
The initiative rests with the offic-
ers of the Lodge, chiefly with the
Master Workman, but the other
mem bers must assist. First, create
an interest in your Lodge; have your
meetings and have them regularly,
and create willingness to work,
and work persistently. Then each
member should make himself COM
mittee of one to get new members.
Study the merits of our orgaaiza-
tion so as to be prepared for any ar
gument. Circulars will, on app.ica-
ton, be sent you by the Grand Re
corder in which you can find all in
formation. Then go out among your
friends, especially such as are not
members of any beneficiary society,
and explain to them the merits of the
y. O. u. w. and ask them to Join.
Point out to them the necessity of
their carrying some insurance, and
show them how cheap they can OBJ
tain it in the A. 0. u. w.
Do not speak disparagingly of the
other fraternal societies, but should
the person spoken to show prefer
ence for them, then show him the
superiority of the A. o. U. w. Tell
him that it is the oldest and the SAT
est fraternal beneficiary society on
this continent. People seeking in
surance will prefer security and
stability TO cheapness. Show them
that the A. o. U, w. under the
Classified Assessment Plan possesses
these qualifications prominently,
that we have passed the experiment
tai stage and reached maturity, and
therefore guarantee the limit as to
cost, whilst the perpetuity of the
Order is secure beyond a doubt.
Keep at it and at it, teaching the
superiority of the a. 0. U. w. until
you have created a favorable senti-
ment for the Order in your neigh
borhood. This may be uphill work
at first, but with due persistence you
will succeed. Having created "A ia
vorable sentiment, if you do not sue
coed in getting as many applicants
as you desire, then ask the Grand
Master Workman to send you a dep
uty, and if you have done your
share in preparing the field you will
be surprised at the result.
Some Lodges succeed in adding to
their membership without the aid of
deputy, but if preparatory work,
as outlined above, has been done the
Grand Master will send a deputy if
requested. But whether deputy is
sent, or not, the members must do
the work of creating a sentiment
favorable to the Order in the locali-
ty where the Lodge is located.-W Wis
consin Workman.

~ In Jurisdictions which so elect,
an applicant for membership who has
not been vaccinated may receive the
Degrees upon signing a waiver to
all rights under his Beneficiary Ger
tiicate in the event of his dying
from smallpox. Our own Constitu-
ton is somewoat indefinite upon this
point, while our Grand Medical Ex-
aminers have persistently rejected
appplications upon the broad ground
that a person who can so far leopard
ize the welfare of his tellow-being
as to neglect to be vaccinated is not
fit subject to become a member of
the Order.
tV- Esmeralda Lodge No. IS has
made the proposition to join River
Lodge No. 8, of Dayton, and the
Grand Recorder has informed the
Esmcralda Brethren what steps
they will have to pursue to perfect
the consolidation. River Lodge now
has 81 members, ana with the addlt-
ion of % from Esmeralda will have
73 members. This will make River
Lodge sixth in size in this Jurisdic-
ton.
EY~ So far as heard from there
have been three deaths in the Order
in this Jurisdiction for the month OF
January. They are James I. Sulli
van and Peter Cooney, of Storey
ledge No. 3, and ID. w. James, OF
Gold Hill Lodge No. ?. These, with
the two deaths in December last
make FIVE for the first two months OF
the current year. 1t is to be hoped
that this ratio will not continue.

A COMMON SUPERSTITION.

Many people believe that the breaking
of looking glass is certain sign of
death. The newspapers report that a
mother recently became insane after
dropping Il mirror because she feared that
some of her loved ones would soon die.
There are other signs more dangerous
than this The most common is Il dis
ordered stomach, which causes nervous
ness, dyspepsia, Indigestion and cOnstipa-
ton. These symptoms tell the sufferer
that his days will be shortened unless
he gets right in his digestive organs. For
this purpose there is nothing so certain
to cure as Hostetters Stomach Bitters
1t regulates the bowels, steadies the
nerves and whets up the appetite. 1t is
the standard remedy. There is no sub
stitute for it.
