ODD FELLOWS HOME
Grand Master ColaW Thinks
Campbell Place
is THE BEST YET OFFERED
Arrangements Made for Grand
Lodge Meeting.

Grand Master ]. A Colaw Of the Odd
Fellows was in the city yesterday, hav-
ing installed the new officers Of the two
| lodges Friday night. The ceremonies were
carried out in all the beauty and display
of the ritualistic demands.
While here Grand Master Colaw COM
pleted hotel arrangements for the annual
meeting of the Grand lodge, Grand en-
campment and Grand lodge of Rebekahs
that are to meet in this city next Octo-
Der 9, 10, II and u. Mr.. Colaw was very
enthusiastic over the prospects of sue
cessful meetings, and was much pleased
with the interest which the local orders
are taking in the matter. He had 10
doubt but what Wichita would be able to
take care of the visions in every manner,
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t Is ex-
pected to be largest gathering the Odd
Fellows have ever had in the state.
The next meeting of the Grand lodge
wi! be of great interest to all Odd Eel.
lows of the state for the reason that tine
q'Iastion of securing and locating an OCd
ell0ws' Home will come up for DISPOSE
ten At that meeting. Wichita will be ole
os the contestants for the location Of tie
home, and so far as learned most of the
leading members Of the order are very
favorable to this city.
committee consisting of A. E. Helm,
p r. Hatfield and E. E. Enoch escorted
Grard Master Colaw over the city and
he vas delighted with the surroundings.
Tiny considered several sites for the pre-
posed Odd Fellows Home. 1t seems from
those inspected that the choice of Mr.. CO.
law and others was the Campbell mansion
at the west entrance of GrieffensteIn
park, which it is understood Is under con-
sideration should the location Of the
home come to Wichita. The mansion is
one of the most beautiful and substantial
buildings in Kansas 1t stands like an
immense castle on the banks of the Little
river and Is surrounded by twenty acres
of land, which goes with it in case of
sale. Judge Enoch says he understands
this property can be purchased for $27 900.
1t would certainly make an ideal home,
something like the Masonic Home, which
is the pride OF the 1Iasons in this state
The committee in company with Grand
Master Colaw inspected the building and
surroundings and were delighted with it
Regarding the attendance at next falls
meeting, Mr.. Colaw said he expected at
least 1000. visitors here, most of whom
would be delegates from subordinate
lodges and the kindred Organizations. Be-
sides these there will diubtless be many
visitors from outside towns who will
come to look after their chances for Sc
curing the Home. Grand Master Colaw
Is considered ritualistic prodigy among
members OF secret organizations. 1t is
said that he never uses ritual in any
of his work of installing officers or per-
Forming any part of the secret work. He
can recite the ritual from lid to lid az
readily as one could read it.

to the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is
a habit that Is universally INDUCED in and
almost as universally injurious. Have
you tried Grain-O? II Is almost like
coffee but the effects are just the oppo-
site. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins
the digestion. effects the heart and dis
turbs the whole nervous system. Gratn-O
tones up the stomach. aids digestion, and
strengthens the nerves. There Is nothing
but nourishment in Grain-O, II can't De
