At irregular intervals every three or
four years Lake Marjelen completely
and suddenly disappears. The phe.

days of August. Without warning the
lake empties itsef. and the great guam
tity of water that II contained disap
pears through assures in the rocks to
swell the waters of the river Rhone.
So rapidly does the lake empty itself
that the water level OF the Rhone rises
several meters in few hours. and the
valley is flooded An old custom

disappearance Of the lake to the In
habitants Of the valley.
All the autumn. after the disappear.

Scientific men believe that the phe.

the neighboring glacier. Little by liz.
tie the melting ice raises the level OF
the lake until at the end OF three or
four years the accumulated water ex
erts such an enormous pressure upon
the sides and bottom OF the lake that

flows more rapidly until at last II

EXCITEMENT IS
RAPIDLY SPREADING
New Root Juice Medicine Appar-
emily Creating the Same In
terest and Enthusiasm
Here That 1t Has
Elsewhere.

If one can Judge by the crowds
that are almost continually swarm
ing the local drug stores to investi-
gate and purchase supply of the
new Root Juice medicine which
has been creating a sensation in
all parts of the state, our home
people are fast becoming as, en-
thusiastic over it as those of other
places in which it has been intro
duced.
So many reports Of the most
astonishing cures effected by Root
Juice have been published and so
much has been said of the excite
ment the medicine has created in
other cities, it is not strange that
local sufferers from indigestion,
belching, pains after meals, loss Of
appetite, nervousness, backaches,
weak kidneys, rheumatism, sleep
lessness, tired WORKOUT feeling
and other similar ailments due to
functional disturbances of the
vital organs or impurities in the
blood, should be anxious to follow
the examples of those who claim
to have been almost miraculously
cured by its use.
AT the drug stores it is said that
the sale of Root Juice has far ex-
ceeded all expectations and al
though there is still a good stock
on hand some fear is entertained
that there will not be enough to
supply the constantly growing de-
mand, for it is said that the main
laboratories at Fort Wayne, Ind,
are working to their fullest capaci-
ty and are still far behind on their
orders.
Good reports are still coming
in from those who have purchased
the medicine and stories of some
truly startling results right here in
town can be heard every day. Adv.

ardson, ranking Past Grand Mas
ter of Tennessee, will be the prin-
cipal orator of the occasion.
Judge Henry H. Ingersoll, a Past
Grand Master Of Tennessee, is
chairman of the Centennial Com
mittee, and Horace VanDeventer
is secretary. Beautifully engraved
Masonic invitations have been is
sued and sent to every Grand
Lodge in the world, and one will
be sent to each subordinate lodge
in Tennessee. A handsome Off
cial badge, with the seal Of the
Tennessee Grand Lodge on one
side and the seal of Tennessee on
the reverse side, has been struck
for the occasion.
There are now twenty-seven
thousand Masons in Tennessee
and it is expected that a large
number of them will come to
Knoxville on December 81, and
that they will be joined by hun
dreds of Masons from the Old
North State. Application will soon
be made for special railroad rates
and every effort will be made to
make this the most notable gather
ing of Masons ever seen in Ten
nessee, not excepting the Grand
Lodge meetings at Nashville.
Knoxville alone now has over
eleven hundred Masons and East
Tennessee is a Masonic strong
hold and will probably furnish an
attendance of five thousand mem
bers.
The Centennial Committee is Of
fering reward Of ten dollars to
the person finding the exact spot
on which the Grand Lodge was
established.

Here is one way: take the can Of a low

that fact must be there stated. II you find
