DIR. ii. I. CLARK, Grand Master OF the
Grand Lodge of Masons OF North Car
olina, visited Raleigh last week in the
interest of that order. The Raleigh cor
respondent to the Charlotte Observer
gave the following interview with DR.:
CLARK
"Grand Master Clark was interview
ed in regard to the Masonic Temple and
said that Francis D. Winston would be-
gin on the first of April a very active
and thorough canvass OF the State, tor
the purpose Of selling $50. 900 OF second
mortgage bonds and that when these
are disposed of the finances will be solid.
Not a step is to be taken until this
money is raised and the finances thus
put in perfect shape. He says thei idea
is that the corner stone will be laid In
the early autumn and that then the
work begun Will be continued without
break. He says he feels sure that the
canvass to be made by ex-Jndge Win
ston will prove ali that could be desired.
Grand Master Clark, when asked about
the growth of the Masonic order, said
it was all that could be desired and that
since the meeting OF the grand lodge,
in January, half dozen lodges had
gone into operation, part new ones and
the others old ones revived"

A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach
fails to perform its functions the bowels
become deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases
the most fatal of which are painless
and therefore the more to be dreaded.

stomach and liver to healthy condi-
