When the West Virginia Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows meets in November they
will have turned over to them a home
for their orphans and aged members
which will be credit to the order and
TO the State. The building is situated
near Elkins, and contains SO rooms 1t
has all modern conveniences, including
natural gas, electric lights and steam
heat. Practical builders say that the
building is worth at least 800, 600.
The building and the land together are
valued at $3.50, 900, and is a practical
expression of what it means to be one
of The $4,000 Odd Fellows in West Vlr-
ginia.

rious condition, it is thought that he will
recover.

The sanitary advantages of Individual
drinking cups in stations and trains have
long been recognized by the railway
companies. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road has just installed one of the new
systems of individual drinking cup ma
chimes at both Camden and Mt. Royal
stations, Baltimore. The cups are made
of white paraffine paper, arranged in
slot machines which work automatically.
By dropping a penny in the slot one of
these paper cups is dropped into the
hand and becomes the property of the
user. These cups are absolutely sani-
tary, eliminating any possibility of con-
tamination with dirt or contagious dis
ease, and their innovation at the sta.
tons is in line with the active move
ment all over the country to stamp out
| infection of all kinds.

we are threatened with the loss of the

AS a matter Of fact, the spring styles
arc cause for self-congratulation, partly
because less material is required in the
making, and the combinations of mate
