We had little treasure once.
She was our joy and pride.

Has forever passed away.

But we hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.

Jr.. head of the sales department of

"Unloading by Cuban sugar plant

said Mr.. Earle.
"Until old orders taken by the re-

Cured are filled, there will be no de-
crease in the retail price. But
these will be disposed Of quickly and

WELL ASK. DOLLAR
FROM EACH MASON
Expect to Raise Two Million
Dollars For Memo
rial Temple
TO OBTAIN DESIGNS
Temple to Cost Sl,5O0,000 and Endow-
ment Fund Will be $500 OOO-Coun-
try Divided into Ten Regions.

A dollar from every Mason in the
U. S. is the plan proposed to raise
the fund for the erection of the
temple in Alexandria to the memory
of Washington the Mason which the
George Washington Masonic National
Memorial Association proposes to
erect in George Washington Park.
When the movement was first in
augurated by C.. H. Callahan, of
this city. it was proposed to raise
S5OO.O0O and later it was decided to
raise s1,000.0O0.
On account Of the general cxpen-
ses incident to construction it is now
proposed to make the grand total to
be raised S2,0O0,000 and to use
81 100000 fer the construction of
the temple and have S50000G as an
endowment fund.
The association at its tenth annual
meeting held here mapped out the
plans for collecting the fund. The
plan provides that the forty eight
grand jurisdictions be divided into
regions, each of which ere placed
under regional superintedcnt who
appoints assistant superintendent in
each grand jurisdiction in his region
and who in turn carries the work to
the subordinate lodges.
All printing and advertising ex-
penses are to be borne by the ways
and means committee and drawn
from the accrued interest now in the
hands of the treasurer thereby saw
ING the initial fund in its entirity.
The plan has developed only in a
few states, but met With imminent
success wherever it was put into op-
Grafton.
An evidence Of the feasibility Of
the plan. it is stated, was demon
strated at the recent meeting of the
association when the representative
from Ncrth Dakota raised $500 in
his jurisdiction in six weeks and the
representative from Illinois raised
s125.0O0 in about the same time.
Others also met with equal success,
but owing to the fact that the CAM
paign was not launched until the late
autumn or early winter sufficient
time was not had to complete the
canvass.
Members Of the association feel
sanguine that the plan will be ac-
complished within very short time
and will be a success.
At the recent meeting thirty-sevcn
states were represented with more
than 100 delegates in attendance.
More progress was reported in rails
ing funds than in any previous
year.
At the close of the recent meeting
committee was appointed to pre-
pare plans and specifications and de-
signs for the proposed temple and also
to obtain tentative estimates of cost
of construction. This committee will
make its report at the next annua,
meeting of the association.

There is a fixed hour for retiring.

Dr.. Petit Recites Benefits Of

Little progress will be made in the

treated in the home in great PER

CHILDREN HAVE
PART IN PROGRAM.
Children patients at Sunnyside had
an important part in the program.
1.-THE advantages of sanitarium treat
ment are that it affords the subercu-
1osis invalid the most practical, indeed,
the only systematic method of fighting
this disease and acquiring hygienic Iv
ing in its prevention said Dr. Petit.
"It is a most valuable educational fac
tor, not only in the immediate locality
1n which it is located, but to very
great extent in the community at large.
"It has definite and important place
which can scarcely -herwise be filed
in the study and investigation OF the
disease and its complications.
Sanitarium procedure is not such meGi-
csI treatment, as ordinarily understood,

patient stands in need. DR.. Petit said.

tuberculosis has made the establishment
OF institutions for the cure and treat
ment of those afflicted with it one Of
the most important questions before the
people.
ut is conceded 1t is the duty OF the
State to take a hand in this crusade
against mans most insidious enemy by
education of the masses, the enforcement
of judicious sanitary laws, and the pro-
vision of sanitoriums for the treatment of
the poorer people who form SO large
percentage OF our citizens and for the
protecting and fostering care of whom it
is responsible"
