Carnival Crowd Sees
Pageant of EIks

In a blaze of color and light, in
q riot of music, laughter, merrl-
ment and pleasure-maklng, to
which was added true carnival
spirit, the Elks' Harvest Festival
opened last night at the Shriners'
Auditorium on Jefferson street.
Five thousand persons made OF
the magnificent spectacle a tre-
mendous success and reveled un-
til midnight to the tuneful cllnk
of flowing dimes and dollars
which will make up the fund for
the entertainment of the Elks'
national convention in this city
next June.
Within the mOustrous audi
torium the scene was the most
magnificent and spectacular ever
presented on the Pacific Coast.
The attendance was beyond the
fondest hopes ofthe management.
If the first night may be taken as
a criterion the financial end will
be more than satisfactory.
Long before the appointed hour
for the opening of the festival the
great auditorium was filled. AS
one entered the great doors the
eve met a wondrous blaze of col
or. There was color everywhere
and o! every tint. In striking riot
overhead were thousands of
flags, pennants and festOons
which formed veritable canopy.
Red, white and blue predomina-
ted, but interspersed were the
emblematic banners in purple
and white of the Elks, and then
ranging the entire gamut ofcolor
harmony.
And in the coloring of the doz-
ems of booths ranged along the
sides of the coliseum on both the
main floor and the balcony, not
a tint seemed to have escaped
the decorators and designers.
Such was the harmony tha, there
was not a point which Jared on

Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
''For over two years suffered un-
told agonies; my friends thought I
was going crazy. could not sleep
nor rest at all. I tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief. My
head would ache all the time; I was
like one drunk; could not concentrate
my mind. and was so restless and
worried that sleep was out of the
question. After taking one bottle of
DR.. Miles Nervine / felt wonderfully
changed. I am now on my third bot
tie and am gaining all the time. I
can lie down and sleep like a child,
and am able to do my work"
