jinew, will begin with the Elks,
and probably end there.
Without any special written code
or creed, the Elks stand for GER
tain standard of intellect and ethics.
The man with an Elk's tooth on
his watchchain or antlers in his but
tonhole has no quarrel with God. He
accepts life and finds it good. He
may not be so very wise nor 80 very
good, but since he knows that he
is not wise and is ready to admit
that he is not so very good, he is
wiser than he knows and better than
he will acknowledge.
Real Elk 10 Lenient
The true Elk does not condemn
disparage, nor rip regulations up the
back. Realizing his own limitations,
he is lenient in his judgment towards
those who have been tempted by fate
beyond their power to resist. This
quality of mercy, l have noticed, il
strongly implanted in Elk nature,
Your Elk does not weep over his
own trouble, but for the stricken
souls on earth his tears Of pity are
near the surface. The Elk loves
children, respects old age, and so fal
as l have seen, doesn't incline espec
tally toward Indifference to feminine
charms. In many instances I have
imagined the Elk revealed Just ap

the Elks; he would not feel at home

have faith in other men, faith in your
self and faith in the universe.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
THE REAL ELK?
Brief Insight Of Characteristics
Of Men Of This Fraternity

other-are Elks. In truth this is the
very heart of what the Nazarene
taught, brethren, if it be blasphemy
from the orthodox standpoint.
Originally the order of Elks con-
tanned only actors, an organization
of goodfellowship, and a protection
to wives and daughters. It is the
ritualistic intent and honest endeav-
or of the Elk to melt the icicles with
which so many hearts are hung-to
not only lift but to tote his full share
of the load. He cherishes the men,
DRY of the dead, but keeps two lamps
on the living. Though High Priest
in the Brotherhood of Red Corpuscles
fully frocked and duly ordained, he
never does holier-than-thou stunt,
nor complains that he is the only hon
est gazabo this side of High Siding.
He never unnecessarily posters .
policeman nor poses as a puller Of
plums from Jack Horner's pie. No
one ever hears of an Elk wilmer nor
an Elk gutter. He lives while he
lives, mosies down the pike hand in
hand with laughter and pleasure
kind, helpful and considerate.
Roses nod at him from every side,
love beckons and embraces, his birds
sing and his sun shines, and his
world smiles back welcome. Trouble
may knock at his door; but as like
as not he is out for a lark-beside
the bedside of sick friend, maybe
picking the cactus of worldly hap
penstance out of some poor devils
hide or with a sad but hopeful heart
trudging behind a hearse.
Small souls may envy and pick
him to pieces, and the Truly Good
pass him up as one whose awful fate
is irrevocablly fixed-he is the salt
Of the earth just the same, and Is con-
tent to take his chance on his final
account.

of one age. Just what the age is l
have not yet made out; it lies some
where between 80 and SO. No Elk
is more than so, no matter how long
he has lived, and none weighs more
than 200 pounds. They all have the

yet there were always attic supplies
to redeem the mass from terrifying
microbes. The Elk is not troubled
about saving his SOUL In fact, he is
not troubled about anything. Per-
haps this is one distinguishing fea-
ture; he does not worry nor shake
the red rag of wordy theological war
fare. He believes that everything is
all right, or nearly so, and that his
task is to do his work and not both

to. When Ali Bahia said, BLESSED

The Elks stay right in the game.
You never heard of one retiring from
business. When death calls for an
Elk, the Elk is apt to sell him a
bill Of goods, and then shake the dice
to see who shall pay Charon's toll.
The Elk does not seek to pry into
the, future, for he realizes perfectly
well that If he waits he'll know all
about it. And for a similar reason
he does not chase after women, for
he knows If he doesn't women will
chase after him right away. There
seems to be little danger that this
fraternity will evolve into religion.
Most religious people take their re-.
ngion seriously, but the Elk takes his
with settler. He knows that truth is
the point Of view; that all is relative;
that nothing is final or absolute, nor
can 1t be in a world where nothing il
permanent but change. So the Elk's
religion is Now and Here; to partake
of all good things in moderation; to
give out love and kindness, because
these things come back; and to sup
ply scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will accept

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Da7druff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary LIQUID arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-adv.
