Loss of Appetite.

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss Of appetite, and
If you skip meal or only eat two
meals day for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that at
least five hours Should always elapse
between meals SO as to give the food
ample time to digest and the stom-
ach a period of rest before second
meal is taken. Then If you eat no
more than you crave and take Q reas-
enable amount of outdoor exercise
every day you will not need to worry
about your appetite. When the loss
of appetite caused by constipation as
is often the case, that should be cor
rected at once. A dose of Chamber
lain's Tablets will do it. For sale by

|AMERICANISM PREVAILS
| AT HOLY NAME Meeting
Rev. Father McAllister Pays
Tribute to Society Members-Rev.
Edward Magrath Also Speaks.

Patriotism and Americanism were
on top last night at the meeting of
the Holy Name Society of Holy
Trinity, held in their new hall in
Georgetown.
The Rev. Father McAllister. o. p,
Of ST. Dominic's rectory was the
principal SPEAKER. He declared that
the present chaotic conditions and
the trend toward radicalism can be
successfully combated only by tn"
stalwart men whose motto is always
law and order.
He said the Knights Of Columbus
had made a wonderful record for
rightful living and this was due
greatly to the fact that from the rank
and file Of the Holy Name organiza-
tons they secured men who by their
allegiance to God ana country gave
to the world keen conception of
what it is to be a. true Catholic man
He urged the men to keep close to
the lines of the Holy Name organiza-
ton. which meant no more nor less
than that exacted from every member
of the church.
The Rev. Edward N1agrath. S. F..
also spoke in an earnest manner. e&-
horting all to live up to the principles
of the organization.
Considerable business was transact
ed. and reports were submitted from

The clubs building committee, on its
recent tour of four cities for sugges-
tons as to club methods and facilities,
discovered that life memberships were
not only highly priced by members but
were regarded by club officials as only
temporary financing expedients. The
tendency at most of the clubs, there
fore, is gradually to reduce and even
tually to eliminate the life member
ships. Such policy naturally enhances
the value Of the Memberships: 1t is
not at all unlikely that similar policy
will be pursued by the City Club.

Value of Such Memberships.

! Appointment of the committee to
assume charge of the enrolment of
| these members was made only yester-
day by j. a. Whitfield, president of
the club. Such members are exempt
from all club dues The only charge
against them as long as they remain
members is Il quarterly war tax of
$1.50. Holders of such memberships
may transfer them at will, either to
members of their families or to out
siders, provided the approval of the
board of governors be obtained. At
the death of a life member the organ
| ization will pay $1,000 to his estate.
The necessary fee may be paid in full
at the start. or if preferred, in in
'tailments-S250 accompanying the APP
pliCation and $3.50 additional on Jan
uary 5, February and March next.
IN u financial sense the life MEM
bership is a good investment and a
good asset said President Whitfield
today. Such a membership becomes
an investment on a par with any other
6 per cent Investment. But its great
est value is it's civic value. 1t is Il.
great privilege to be one of the hum
dred whose support makes the f1nanc-
ing of the City Club a certain success"
Circular letters regarding the limit
ed mum Der of life memberships have
been sent to the 1900 members of the
club. Most of the life members, 1t is
expected, will be recruited from those
already enrolled in the organization.
Applications should be addressed to
