HkS TEMPLE FOR
CONVALESCENTS
sBEST PEOPLE ON EARTH" GIVE
FINE CLUB ROOMS TO RECOV-
ERING SOLDIERS

An offer that will bring JOY to the
hearts of many sick soldier in Moscow
has been made by the Elks' lodge of Mos
cow. The lodge offers the use of its
temple on North Main street, with its
club room equipment, including reading
room, pool and billiard tables and loung-
ing room for the use of the soldier con-
valescents who are recovering from in
fluenza.
The Elks have one of the finest club
rooms in the northern part of Idaho. 1t
is luxuriously equipped with all of the
comforts of club room and is well
heated and lighted For the boys who
have been confined in barracks or hos
pitals, especially the improvised hospitals
which lack the comforts of home, this
fine club room will be a great treat.
Judge Steele and the other officers of
the lodge have made it possible for the
young men, many of whom are, no doubt,
suffering with "homesickness," to enjoy
this fine home during the period of their
convalescence, and the young men, who
are the beneficiaries of this generosity,
are loud in their praise of the spirit
which prompted the offer.

military training mostly and very little
shop work. The general health of the
men is good.
Moscow people are helping in every
way possible to care for the sick and
convalescent Today the Elks' lodge
turned its fine temple and club rooms
over to the convalescents, and 10 who
were discharged from hospitals were
quartered there The club rooms are
among the finest in northern Idaho and
the men enjoy the change immensely.
