The 92d anniversary of the found
ing of Odd Fellowship is April 26,
1911.
On the Goth day of April, 1919. Amer
lean Odd Fellowship numbered five.
According to the last report of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge there were
1,952,421 brothers and sisters belong
ing to the order. This was on Janu-
ary 1, 1910, and, no doubt, at this date
the membership exceeds 100000 1t
expended for relief during the past
year $5,356,925.S9 It's resources
amount to $53, l56,91014. The subor
dinate lodge alone numbers 1,543,OS6,
encampment membership 217,533, Re-
bekah, 633,615, and Patriarchs Mill
tant 24,351. If this vast army of fra
ternal workers should clasp hands,
they would form an unbroken chain
over $500 miles long.
The relief for the past year
amounted TO about $500 per minute
night and day. 1t is to be remem-
bered that this vast sum of money is
surance, but is paid out in small
amounts to relieve distress and as
timely aid during sickness and ad-
Versity, to prevent distress. In addi-
ton to these millions OF dollars paid
out for relief by lodges, there are vast
sums expended which come from
gifts from members to those in need
and these do not find expression in
the financial reports. The Order is
also maintaining homes for the care
OF the old and INDECENT members and
homes and Orphanages for children,
and the amount annually expended in
these directions can only be estimated.
If we may take the accepted basis of
five people for each adult male mem
Der there are seven million people so
related to this Order that they can
never become dependent upon public
charity.

STOMACH REMEDY
Guaranteed by {. ]. Jenkins.

If your stomach is weak and con
stantly upset, you must quickly do
one or two things:
Allow the rest of your body to be.
come as weak as your stomach. Or
make your stomach as strong as your
body.
There is only one choice for those
who want to live and enjoy life, and
that is to make the stomach as strong
as the body.
This can best be done by using the
prescription Of a specialist that in
years of practice gave immediate re-
lief and permanent cure to 80 per cent
of the people who used it.
This prescription is known from
coast to coast as MI-O-NA.
MONA stomach tablets, most peO-
pie call them, are guaranteed by f. j.
jenkins to cure indigestion (acute or
chronic) or any upset condition of the
stomach, or money back.
In five minutes they give relief from
heartburn, acid stomach, gas on stom-
ach, belching of sour food, fermenta-
ton, heartburn and waterbrash.
If you suffer from stomach trouble
get large soc box of MI-O-NA stom-
ach tablets today and put yourself on
the road to health. At r. ]. Jenkins

She Had COURAGE.

A self possessed young woman who

to the waiter in that decisive tone
which distinguishes the initiated and
glanced over the French bill of fare

plunged into the sea of French dishes

as well bring me cup of coffee"

speak. but the young woman froze him
with one of those icy stares peculiar
to the thoroughly sophisticated.

ices, boiled potatoes and a piece Of
cheese. But she ate ii as if she had
been used to that sort of diet all her
