death has been expected at any mo-

PHYSICIANS have never asceTtained
exactly what caused his unusual state
of coma. They ascertained that it was
a growth of some kind that they could
not treat. Whether it was tumor or

was as follows:
1.-The three great principles OF our
order are friendship, charity and loyal
ty, and now is the time to carry out
one of the great charity.
Il call upon my comrades all
through the state 10 give their mite
either in money or supplies-and as
soon as possible, for our suffering fel.
low citizens in the flooded districts of
Ohio and Indiana.
The contributions should be turned
over to local organizations engaged in
food relief work.
On many occasions the boys in

for aid, but, according to Commander
Spillane, no call for assistance such as
the above has ever been issued by the
Michigan commander.
Conditions are terrible" said Com
mander Spillane. land the people in
the stricken states need money. clothes
and food.
And ! know the men who. half a
