James A. Foshay, supreme president
of The Fraternal Brotherhood, Is even
more than usual the central figure in
tie eyes of the membership of the so
ciety in view of the fact that some
time during the present year each
lodge in the entire Jurisdiction will
have a supreme president campaign,
and every state and district will en-
Joy a visit from this popular execu-
tive.
Hermosa lodge No. 80 had one of
the most enthusiastic meetings of the
season Monday night. There were
$50 members present, and large
class of candidates was initiated and
several elected to membership. AS the
president was absent on his vacation,
Supreme Counselor c. A. Post pre-
sided, and H. V. Davis, supreme secre-
tary and Mrs. e. r. Neidig, supreme
vice president, were present as guests.
At the close of the meeting Sisters
Whitefield and Clark, entertainment
committee, took charge and invited
all present to repair to the banquet
room where one of Mrs. Lane best
suppers was In readiness. The supreme
president was invited as the guest of
honor, but owing to previous en-
gagement did not arrive until after
the session closed, when he did full
Justice to Spanish beans, corn bread,
apple pie, and such delicacies.
Members of Santa Monica lodge No.
1873 were hosts at Playa del Rey on
Admission day, when the hordes of
The Fraternal Brotherhood gathered
from far and near for big ball. Dele
gates were present from Ocean Park,
Inglewood, Redondo, Sawtelle and Los
Angeles, and everybody had good
time. One of the companies of the
uniform rank put on a military drill
which won much applause from the
interested spectators.
"A Surprise was the keynote for a
big attendance at Los Angeles lodge
No l Thursday evening, and the word
seemed to have spread out generally,
as the room was filed with No. l
members and a goodly number of vis-
itors from the other city lodges. All
the supreme officers seemed to have
had hint that there was to be some
thing doing, and dropped in one after
another. before the meeting closed,
and all arrived in time for the big
event, which proved to be the burning
of the notes, and all evidence of the
indebtedness OF this lodge. Everybody
was happy and full of hope and cour-
age for the future.

Harrington lodge No. 900 held an
excellent meeting last Wednesday
evening. Three candidates were ini-
tiated, and dancing and cards con-
cluded the evenings entertainment.
This lodge is working for class ini-
tiation on September 2S, and when
ever this lodge undertakes to do a
thing 1t is sure to win.

Importation Of Leeches.

Leeches are enumerated by the bu-
reau of statistics under its general
head of animals imported, the total
value of the imports of this species
in 1908 having been s5,34t; in 1907,
$6,922; in 1906, s4,494; in 1905, s3,S62;
in 1904, $3,5S9: in 1903, 1920. and in
1902, $2,412-the commerce in leeches
being thus of a growing character,
The total value of the leeches i'm
ported into the United States in the
decade ending with 1908, is about $40,-
600. Leeches are imported free OF
duty. Snails were at one time emu
merated as an article of importation,
the records from 1894 to 1898 showing
snails imported to the extent Of about
$4,000; but the snail trade so dwin-
died, showing only $24 Of imports in
1898, that the bureau discontinued its
statements of this article.

Do farmers sat the proper sort Ct food2

Do farmers sat the proper sort CT food2
The farmer of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so, because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care in
selecting for the best results in health
and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scien-
tific men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men
tai vigor
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaten by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.

Theoretically sealed tins fcT hot

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

-
"My little son, when about a year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then /
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.

During the last two years, however,
this theory has been proved to be an

water in evidence decided to go down
a little farther. Their perseverance
was rewarded most generously, for
another 500 to 500 feet tapped water
carrying stratum capable of sending
100000 gallons of the purest water
through an eight-inch pipe.
A rather odd feature ID hydrostatI1s
is being presented by this lower stra
tum, and that is that it throws its
water higher than the upper strata do.
A well of very nearly 1000 feet, In
Dimmit county, is showing head OF
nearly 40 feet, while several other e
the vicinity, although only from 800 to
1,200 feet deep, are just plain gushers,
exuding their water with no great
show of force. To this, however
there are several notable exceptions
within radius of less than ten miles
A well at Brundage, having depth
Of out 500 feet, is throwing its water
to a height of 1875 feet.
The fear that the artesian strata in
southwest Texas might become ex.
hausted through excessive demand is
gradually making room for a more
,, optimistic feeling. In several cases
wells have been sunk to the same
level within a very small compass
without affecting the flow of others.
In one instance even the sinking of a
second well on the same tract caused
a gradual increase of flow in the older
one. The explanation for this, as
given by biologists to whose attention
the matter had been brought, is that
greater demand upon a stratum may
ultimately result in greater intake.
The best Illustration of this, per-
haps, is furnished by the water supply
system of San Antonio Although over
20 wells have been sunk to the same
level within the confines of a city
block, there has been no decrease in
the supply.
