A Moth Destroyer.

If you are living in moth infested
house, it is an excellent plan on clean
ing a trunk, bureau or closet to go
over all the cracks and crevices with
naphtha. A can with long spout
enables one to do this quite quickly.
The naphtha evaporates very quickly,
but nevertheless destroys the eggs or
larvae that may have found an abiding
place

with the exception of $3.50, the
debt would be liquidated. This
sum was realized during the ded.
ication services and that band of
worshipers is now free from
debt.
The interior presents very
pretty appearance,a all parts blend
ing harmoniously. The pews are
circular, furnished by the Wabash
Seating Company. A furnace
and gasoline fixtures furnish am
pie heat and light. The pulpit
furniture and carpet show wise
selection. The ceiling is compos-
ed of Georgia pine. The bell is a
donation from the Knights of the
Golden Eagle. There are two
rooms, a main audience room and
a lecture room; the latter being
opposite the pulpit, divided by
folding doors. The two apart
ments will seat 200 people com.

Altogether, it is one of the
neatest church edifices in several
counties round about. Every.

Fora long time Waterfall Lodge
No. 773. l. O. O. f. had been in a
comatose condition, and about
half the time it didn't know for
sure, whether it was goin' or
comm.
The lodge made mistake sew
eral years ago, one that a great
many similar organizations have
made since-that OF building a
hall. Every county in the state
has for sale, cheap, a few second
hand halls built by secret socie-
ties. Waterfall Lodges building
was unfortunately located, and
that, with other discouragements
nearly terminated it's career.
While ithas been generally known
that it had been gasping for
breath for a long time, the priest
and the Levite passed by on the
other side, and it was not until Il
few weeks ago that a good Sa-
maritan journeying that way,
gathered up the almost defunct
organization, took it to New Gren-
ada. placed it in the inn (not
Houok's, this time), and cared for
it.
Surrounded by kind friends, it
required but an amazingly short
time to thaw out. New blood was
then injected into it's veins, the
vigor of youth returned, and now
it stands u formidable rival of any
lodge in the county.
Last Saturday was especially a
