SCISSORS to tax lodges which are held
to be not strictly benevolent in their
purposes. He declared this was new
rule but some of the members said
their lodges had been taxed prior to
tbs time The matter attracted so
much attention that a number of the
delegates called upon the tax commits
ing lodges had been made.

''In my forty years experience as
teacher and practitioner along n.y.

to compare with Grape-Nuts for the

for a number of years to patients with
the greatest success and every years
experience makes me more enthusiast
tic regarding its use.
81 make it a rule to always recon-
mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in place
of coffee, when giving my patients in
structions as to diet, for l know both
Grape Nuts and Postum can be digest
ed by anyone.
Gas for myself, when engaged in
much mental work my diet twice a
day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich
cream. 1 find it just the thing to
build up gray matter and keep the
brain in good working order.
I'm addition to it's wonderful effects
as brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts
always keeps the digestive organs in
perfect, healthy tone. I carry it with
me when I travel otherwise I am al
most certain to have trouble with my
stomach" Name given by Postum Co.,

Vogue in Outer Garments.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. at the present time retailers are
featuring wraps of charmeuse and
satin. The best sellers are the me-
dium-priced numbers retailing from $40
to $50. These are usually attractively
lined in some bright color, giving a
pleasing contrast. Lace collars and
cuffs are often used as a finishing
touch and are very effective, while
white lace is used largely for this pur-
pose. Some garments are shown trim
med with black lace, which is cut away
to show the lining underneath.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN

"a jar OF pure olive OIL" We may
wonder whit tests were employed and
what would happen TO the man whose
oil was found to be not pure. Prob
ably something unpleasant, for there
was no Sureme court In those days.
We know what happened In the mid
die ages to ihe enterprising tradesman
who adulteated his goods. In 1444
a Nuremberg merchant was burned
alive for mating foreign material with
his saffron md the saffron itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed the matter upon his
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weighs and bad -four were
ducked in a muddy pool. and through
a faulty knowledge OF the human re-
spiratory s.stem, or sheer careless
ness. they ome to the surface dead.

The writer has often noticed the

the truer sense OF honor among the

with that which obtained when she
herself was n student. and which is
still largely that OF women OF her
