Others are old at 40-joints begin

occasional touches of pain in the
back, feel tired without cause, and
possibly a twinge of rheumatic

In most cases these are the dan
ger signals to warn you that the

Amoo grotto No. 81 OF Rock Is

The festivities opened with a bus
mess meeting early yesterday aft

going to Fort ROsencrans a royal
sendOff. Approximately six hun
dred members turned out in the pa
rade which was headed by Mohas-
san grotto band of Davenport, fol-
lowed by the Amoo drum corps.
Owing to the vast amount OF
business before it the grotto was
compelled to call off the cial ses-
sion, scheduled for after the cere-
monial. The grotto secretary, leay-
ing with the local contingent for
the training camp, Stanley ID. Skin

May 3. Lieutenant O'Brien has
been only appearing in the larger
cities and during the past month
has been packing Carnegie hall in
New York City twice daily. 1t is
due to the fact that he will be on
his way to the coast that he has
been induced to stop off in Rock

drop in an airplane, the way he
escaped from a moving train by
jumping from a car window, with
a German guard sitting opposite.
and his wanderings for AZ days
