Members Are Represented.

The Grand Lodge Knights OF Pythias
is in session in Dover today. Seven
teen lodges with membership Of 1882

In presenting his annual report Grand
Chancellor Samuel IL. Carson said
among other things
swiftly has the arrow OF time
passed by and placed us upon the
threshold of another Pythian year. The
thirty-nfth milestone of our Grand
Lodge has been reached. and as your
grand chancellor l bid you all a cor
dial welcome. Before proceeding fur
ther with my report, feel that l should
give thanks to the Father, the author
of our being, for his watchfulness and
guidance over us during the past year,
and under whose care we are again
permitted to assemble as representa-
tives Of the lodges. under the Grand
Lodge Of the domain Of Delaware, for

year. find we have made a creditable
increase in membership, which is very

not so much as / hoped it would be-
find the lodges in this domain in a
good. healthy condition, and the most
Of them actively engaged in rank work.
This 1 know is not only a pleasure to
me, but a pleasure to each member of
this domain. The interest in Pythian-
ism seems TO be on the Increase. not in
one county only. but from the semi
circumference of New Castle to the
Dixie Line in Sussex.
1t has been my privilege as well as
my duty to be in every lodge room in
this domain once. and some of them
twice, and In every instance they ex-
tended to me true Pythian hospitality
I have endeavored TO perform m,
work faithfully and TO the best Of my
ability and have been always willing
to assist whenever and wherever
could.

ANAEMOTROPHY.
Do You Recognize It?

When land is used and not fortified II
will be poor and small So when poor
or not well selected food is used. the
body runs down and the blood becomes
impoverished.
Physicians call it Anaemotrophy, Ii
may show itself in the form of rheAma-
tism, dyspepsia and bowel troubles gen
eral weakness, fainting spells or other
ways, all accompanied by nervousness.
about two months ago my wife not
having been fed on properly selected food
became very i'll and her physician, after
q thorough examination, declared her TO
be suffering from Anaemotrophy, def
cient blood) 1t was necessary to change
the food to enrich the blood and strength
en- the organs and muscles and brace up
the nerves with a good diet. Her
stomach and entire system were in re-
volt against pasty indigestible compounds
and partly cooked cereals and the over
worked organs protested against being
longer overburdened
"One day l bought a package of Grape
Nuts and she began using them at once.
Not only did she relish the delicate flaw
or but her stomach received them with
out protest.
'At breakfast and supper this was her
only food save occasionally a cracker
with jelly. In a week Or SO her cheeks
had taken on a tinge of red and her
strength had visibly increased. The
doctor congratulated himself and her
upon her recovery. He could hardly be-
lieve it possible then, but now he is a
steady user of Grape-Nuts himself. To-
day her general health is vastly improv-
ed, her weight has increased II pounds
and she is eating whatever she likes.
her digestion being perfect.
Il attribute this to the increased
Iourishment and rest given to the di-
gestive organs by the use of Grape Nuts

or. and he did not want to cripple the
small roads OF the large roads either.
Moreover. he did not believe the bill
would stand the legal test He did not
think anv law could be passed saying
when any money should be paid before
it was known that the money was due.
Mr.. Erwin read letter from a man in
Greensboro, saying that in his case about
a wear ago there had been an over
charge of S31.O0 He had been told by
the agent to forward his claim to Wash
irgton. This had been done, and nothing
had been heard from it to this day And
the writer knew of many other eimila"
cases. He wrote that the Southern Rail-
Wav seemed to have everything their
own way.
Mr., White asked why that man did
not have recourse to the penalty provi-
ded.
Mr.. Erwin: THAT penalty never was
enforced The people of North Carolina
don't know anything about that PEN
atty"
Mr. Kinsland said he thought We had
all the recourse that was needed except
in cases of delay in transit.
Mr.. Gay thought the penalties provi-
ded for in the bill were too severe.
Judge Graham also thought the penal
ties in the bill were too severe, al
though he believed the purposes of the
bill were good. He realized that the
railroads were sometimes at disadvan-
tage on account of lack of cars, and
scarcity of coal etc.
He accordingly moved that the bill be
referred to a sub committee for revis-
ion.
Chairman Abel appointed on that com
mittee Judge Graham, Mr.. Morton and
Mr.. Murphey.
Mr. Erwin objected to MIR. Morton be-
ing upon the subcommittee, as he was
opposed to the bbl.
Mr.. Abel said that he had done so
purposely, in order that both sides might
be represented, He knew judge Gra-
ham favored the bill, and no one knew
how Mr.. Murphey stood:
Mr.. Erwin: ANY one can tell by his
questions which side he is on"
Mr.. Erwin was assured that the COM
mittee would take no action on the bill
without hearing further from him.
