ever. as the blue lodges Of the state have
been working on more candidates during
the last year than ever before during a
similar length Of time.
Tangier temple. Mobiles Of the Mystic
Shrine, has been doing considerable in the
way Of the relief Of the poor during the
last few weeks. and in the last fortnight
has paid out $500, while since the begin
ming Of winter more than 81, 100 has been
expended. This aid has gone to persons
other than Masons and is paid out Of the
charity fund which is created by setting
aside a certain percentage OF all money re-
ceived by the temple. There is a committee
on charity which is assisted in its work
by a number Of philanthropic persons and
societies who report cases which are in
vestigated fully before charity is given. OF
the money expended very little reaches its
destination in the form of cash, the most
Of it going for groceries and fuel. while
some was spent for clothing.
