HERD GROWING
NEAR half MILLION
IN UNITED STATES
Salem Lodge Second In State
With More Than ESQ
Active Members

When a member of the Salem Elk
lodge walks down the street with his
chest expanded and an elk 3 tooth dang
ling from his watch chain, he may have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
has brothers in this country to the ex-
tent of half a million or more.
For at the annual session of the grand
lodge held last July in Boston, reports
were made showing that the members
in good standing in the United States
and possessions numbered 474,96 and
that the lodge was growing SO fast that
a helf million membership was accrued
by the first of the year.
In this gain of 22,136 members last
year, Salem ranks along with those max.
ing a fair showing as the increase of
membership of Lodge No. 1886, B. p.
o. E. was 1875 for the year, according
to the official report. This brought the
number of members in good standing
of the local lodge last July up to 739
and since then a number of members
have been admitted.
For the year ending July l, 1917, the
annual report shows that So lodges in
the country had a membership of more
than 1000. The Island Guam, away out
in the Pacific, has So members, Alas
ka with its two lodges numbers 613,
and the Territory of Hawaii, with two
lodges, reports $40 members in good
standing. The total number in the state
of Oregon is 1901.
A Seattle lodge held the proud re-
cord of having grown more than any
other with it's total of 2,217 members.
This is the record of lodge No. 90. Ia
coma ranks third in growth, adding 754
members in the past year, bringing its
membership up to 1926. North Yakima
seems to be the home of the Elk also
as this lodge, No. 31S, gained during the
past year, $50 members, bringing its to-
tai up to 1912. Everett, aWsh., is also
the home of the Elk, with 1901 mem
bers in good standing. The Portland
lodge numbers 1901, a gain OF 162 for
the past year.
The largest Elks lodge in the country
is in Brooklyn, No. 20, with it's 4521
members. The lodge showing the largest
decrease was in Atlanta, Ga. New York
is second in the country and Seattle
third, with its membership of 40S1. As
a whole, the Elk lodges in the west
and northwest show a greater gain in
membership during the year than the
eastern and southern lodges. During the
year, the Portland lodge gave $4,165
towards charity.
Outside of Portland, with its 1901
members, the Salem lodge is the largest
in the state, with 739 members IN good
standing reported last July. Since then
the membership has grown to something
over $50.
The membership Of the different Elks
lodges in the state of Oregon, accord
ing to the reports given to the grand
lodge annual meeting in Boston last
Inlv is as follows:

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE

Salem Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in Children
Many children have weak kidneys.
An early warning is bed wetting.
Often followed by baekache, head
ache, languor.
IT'S a mistake to neglect these
troubles.
To blame the child for its own dis
trees.
Seek to check the cause, .
Save the child from dangerous kid
ney ills
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for weak kidneys.
Salem parents know their worth.
Mrs. s. E. Lewis, 1857 Commercial
St., Salem, says: 81 couldn't recon-
mend anything equal to Doan's Kid
ney Pills for children who are subject
to kidney trouble. Since giving them
to my little girl, her kidneys act reg
ularly. Doan' g Kidney Pills have help
ed her more than anything else l have
given her."

PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
 USE.
Consumers as Well as Dealer Can
 Keep Eggs.

Eggs are high priced during some months of the year because they are scarce. Every housewife can guard against these high prices if she will preserve eggs when they are plenti- full and cheap. It is just as easy for the housewife as it is for the dealer to preserve eggs.
 "Water Glass" Method.
 The most practical way for the housewife to preserve eggs is by the Water Glass; method. Water Glass" Sodium silicate) can be bought at any drug store. It is sy- rupy liquid and should always be used in the proportion of one part of water glass to nine parts of cool water which has been boiled. By using these proportions eggs can be preserved in any jar or crock filled with the solu. ton and they will keep several months If stored in cool cellar or rc where the air is fresh.
 Selecting the Eggs To Be Presf
 Eggs should be preserved by put in the water glass solutio. SdIlG udy they ulC ivy be clean, but unwashed, and with g. shells. Be careful and do not era them iA filling the jar. Since infe tile eggs naturally keep longer ar fresher than fertile eggs, it is bes' to use infertile eggs. In filling the jar, be sure to leave about 3 inches of the solution over the top of the eggs. When filled, cover the jar with heavy paper. This will keep the solution clean and help prevent evaporation. Inspect the jars regular. ly and sec that they are kept filled with the solution. Do not let enough of the solution evaporate to expose any of the eggs to the air
 To Use Water Glass Eggs.
 When ready to use the eggs whicn have been preserved in water glass. take them from the solution and wash them in cold water. If they are to be boiled, couple of small holes must be pricked in the shell with needle or the contents may break the shell while boiling.
