THE ELKS REUNION ENDS
NEW EMBLEM FOR THE ORDER
ADOPTED AT DALLAS.
Grand Lodge Adjourns to Meet in Les
Angeles, CAL, Next
July.

Dallas, Texas, July 1S.-The Elks'
reunion of 1908 terminated Friday,
the grand lodge adjourning to meet
in Los Angeles July II, 1909. Friday
night fully two-thirds of the visitors
had departed.
At Fridays session of the grand
lodge various minor changes were
made in the constitution. The per
capita tax was reduced from 20 cents
to 20 cents per annum, as recommend
ed by the retiring grand exalted ruler,
John K. Taner; an official Elk emblem
was adopted; the proposition to estab-
lish home for the orphans OF Elks
was defeated, and resolution was
adopted praising Dallas as a conven-
ton city, and thanking the Elks and
citizens of Dallas and Of Texas for
their hospitality.
The emblem as described consists
of "a combination of the dial, show
ing the hour of II, with white face
and red Roman numerals, citcum-
scribed by blue circle containing the
initials B. p o. E., on which dial and
circle shall rest the elk's head and
antlers, which shall be surmounted by
o red five-point star" The elks head
and antlers are to be in gold, the dial,
star and border in enamel.

pe-ru-na for His Patients.
SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de-
light Of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be-
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits OF
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, If you can't
do it, please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.

WAS ONLY RED BLOOD.
And Three-Year-Old Had Been Told
That it Was Blue.

Three-year-o Allan had very aris-
tocratic grandma, who prided herself
on her own and her husbands blue
blooded ancestry. She told him heroic
deeds of them and warned him from
ever playing with boys of low degree.
One day Allan came screaming up
stairs to his mamma and grandma,
holding his hand up covered with
blood. where he had cut his little
finger. They were both greatly
alarmed, as he was child who rarely
cried or complained when hurt. Nam
ma washed the blood off and, exam
lining the cut, said:
"Why, dear, it's not so very bad.
Does it hurt you so much?"
I'm not cryin' cause it hurts" he
said, but cause it's only red blood,
and grandma said I had blue.

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes | was
almost frantic. was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my men,
DRY was poor l trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. tried many
times to do so, but was its slave.
Finally Wife bought package of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and l was disguised with the taste.

rience) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.

Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article Of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 20.

He was a collector for an install

sensitive about performing an unpleas-

he had called to perform this unpleas

Still, the van was at the door, the lady
was in arrears in her payments, and
he remembered his duty.
