Provident hospital. in Chicago, was

after providing for her burial. Her d.

nursing force Of this hospital seems to
compare more than favorably with
hospitals of the same size and class In
other cities where the nursing is done
by white women.

brothers 1t is not enough, there are
times when a mans presence Is as
desirable as his money. also want
to see some special effort made to-
wards the reinstatement of many
worthy brothers who have fallen by
the wayside either from carelessness
or other causes. / also believe the
time is ripe for big "Elks Revival

member of this Lodge will at all times
be accorded every privilege and cour-

we shall be able to make our opening
hour earlier thereby enabling many
members who live far out to reach
home at respectful hour. Don't go
home on Lodge nights at A. M. and
tell your wife that you have just come
from the Lodge, thereby mourning the
antagonism of the women. To much
of this has been done in the past, and
1t has been big factor in keeping
many worthy men out Of our order,
because home conditions must be con-
sidered in these things. In making
my appointments I have tried men
who were both able to make these
meetings and at the same time are
capable. 1t is my earnest wish that
the regular officers will be here as

the time when any member If this
