hate and SANDER, to Gods sunny hill
sides where all differences and dissen-
lions shall be lost In the boundless
realm of human sympathy.
The justice of our order has sealed
with an iron hand the lips of politics
| and religion within the lodge. At the
shrine of Elkdom all men are equal.
1t lnfringes on no mans patent to his
belief. 1t assails no creed. 1t crit
iclses no sect, but believing that with
out the assistance of an exhalted hone
humanity must suffer, it requires of
candidate for membership that he
have and acknowledge a belief in
Supreme Being. If there can be said
to be any religion in the order it is
the religion of the heart which com
mands that our practice shall square
with our preaching. AS has been said
I'VE belong to that great church which
holds the world within it's starIit
aisles. That claims the great and the
good of every race and cline. That
seeks with joy the golden grains of
truth in every creed and floods with
light and love the germs of good in
every SOUL"
1t might seem as if in the founding
of the order of Elks a special provi-
dence co-operated. The coming of our
order was most opportune for surely
has our country urgent need today of
the spirit of loyalty and patriotism
which it exemplifies. Ever spread up
on our alter is the flag of our coun-
try and in the words of our ritual we
pay it tribute unsurpassed in Lofty
breezes with lingering caress kiss the
sentiment. We know that "the gentle
folds of no flag which can compare
with it in beauty; there is no such
red in budding rose, in falling leaf
or sparkling wine; no such white in
April blossom in crescent moon or
mountain snow; no such blue in wom-
ans eye, in oceans depth or heavens
dome, and no such pageantry of clus-
tering stars or streaming light in all
the spectrum of the sea and sky
1t is the duty of each of us as men
and as Elks to be faithful to every
trust and loyal not only in our friend
ships but as we'll in our citizenship.
Foremost in our thoughts should be
our country and it's preservation. To
the student of governmental affairs it |

which, if broken, obliterates our claim
to manhood and drives us forth as
outcasts from society
The doctrine brotherly love COM
mands us to regard as worthy of our
friendship every living thing. In the
wisdom of the founders of our order
it was seen that "the race of mankind
must perish did they cease to aid each
other. We cannot exist without mu-
tual help. All therefore that need
aid have a right to ask it of their
fellow man; and no one who has the
power of granting it can refuse with
out guilt" Men are created that they
may live for each other. If our neigh
bors do not measure up to our ideals
it is our duty to help them to be bet
ter or bear with them as they are.
This is brotherly love. This is the
jewel which with charity and fidelity,
each worthy member wears in his
heart
The Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks is an American organiza-
ton. 1t is typical American organ
ization; maintaining it's wonted place

ognizing the wonderful changes and

ditions and fostering them. In perfect
sympathy with greater freedom, it

which govern us today are founded up
on the moral law and without making
an effort to ascertain the truth of such
a claim we will go on thinking so until
laws are not founded on the moral law
The earliest source of law was custom
and our great common law is but the
Outgrowth of custom, Influenced by
equity and good morals, and improved
by legal frictions
Another unconscious error under
which we labor is that the reason for
all our present day strife and conten-
ton is directly due TO the accumula-
ton of great riches by the one class
and the poverty of the other. This is
a grave absurdity. The great unseen
selfsame as those which divided them
yesterday-not dollars, but selfishness
and ignorance The error is not in our
laws, nor in our government, but in
ourselves. We have COMPOUNDED lib
erty with license and the weight we
carry and the load under which we
groan is but the burden of our ignor-
ance.
The only absolute rights which we
enjoy are the rights of religious lib
erty and the right to so use our own

1t is with shame that | am compelled
to admit that within the past short
while, the mandates of our courts have
been insolently violated by those upon
whom devolved the duty of rendering a
reverent and sacred obedience The
laws which they violated were the very
same laws which they, as electors,
helped to place upon our statute books
and commanded the courts of the land
to enforce. If this practice continues
l know not what the end may be-
know that such condition exists and
must be dealt with. To combat it sue
cessfully we need, not more severe
punishment of offenders, because pun
ishment is never redress for wrong
and seldom a preventative, but what
we do need is more sincere respect
for the spirit of our laws and an in
creased fidelity to them. The end
sought must be attained by education,
and not by force. The schoolhouse is
the ark of the covenant
That we may entertain a proper
reverence for the law was must first
know what law means. We must learn
that the law is body of rules govern
ing property and human conduct. We
must know it's origin 1t is accepted as
a fact by most people that the laws

CURING CATARRH,
Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem
edy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease of the mu-
cous membrane The mucous MEM
brane is, one may say, the interior
lining of the body Catarrh there's
fore may exist in any part of the sys-
TEN.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumulat-
ed poisons The organ which has beer
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should
The result is, complication upon com
plication, which may lead to Other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh, and
his great success with this remedy
was an enviable one.
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form to give Rex
all Mucu-Tone a thorough trial Use
it with regularity and persistency
for a reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us
and without question or formality we
will hand back to you every cent you
paid us. This is certainly the fairest
offer that any one could make and
should attest our sincerity of purpose.
It comes in two sizes, prices 80 cents
and $1.O0. Remember you can obtain
it only at-The Rexall Store. bod

DEATH OF HOWARD KEY
DEPLORED BY FRIENDS
Americas Joins In Regret at
Tragedy

Americas friends of DIR. Howard w.
Key, the we'll known minister, were
shocked yesterday at the announce
ment of his tragic death in Columbus
the day before, the result of a runa-
way accident He was well known
here and very generally esteemed by
a wide circle of friends of many
years.
Mr.. Key was instantly killed and his
wife seriously and perhaps fatally in
jured.

coming frightened at a nearby train,
swerved suddenly and began to run
away, both Dr. and Mrs Key being
thrown out In falling Dr. Keys head
struck a telegraph pole that had been
sawed off a foot or so above the sur
face of the street, and he was in
stantly killed,
An ugly cash was cut behind his
ear and his face was badly bruised.
MIS-. Key is in the hospital with ribs
broken and in a condition so seri-
Gus that physicians cannot tell the
outcome.
DR.. Key was formerly president If

.ATARRH
A SPECIFIC BLOOD IMpURITY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, ETC., are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous mem
branes and tissues and produces the
we'll known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
a specifc blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks
the disease at its head-in the circu-
lation-and by thoroughly renovating

THE BIBLE FIGURES IN
THIS DIVORCE SUIT
Minister Read Unsuitable Verses to
Child, Wife Claims.

St Louis, Mo-, March 1.-THE Bible
was quoted by the attorney for Mrs.
Cora l.. Korb in brief filed in her
suit for divorce from the Rev. Arno B.
Korb, a Methodist pastor, and for the
custody of their four-year-Old son,
Theodore. The attorney insists that
verses read by the minister to his lit
tie son are not such as can be under
stood by a child, and were read for
the purpose of harassing a bereaved
family. One verse, Mrs. Korb says,
referred to her mother, who died in
January. The quotation was "The un-
godly Shall Perish"
1t was also urged that Korb made 4
servant of his wife by compelling her
to shine his shoes 100 times year
and to perform other mental duties.
Mrs. Korb says her husband forced
her to witness his twisting of chick
ems necks, his method of killing them
for the family meal.

Cavalerie Rusticana (Rustic Chiv-

Offenbach's sparkling little operettl,
The Rose of Auyergne," is another
brilliantly cut musical gem, which
sciHtillates here for the first time on
this occasion; thus we are to receive
a double bill-a gala night, as it IS
called in operate circles.

acceptable, is the orchestral ladies
