Branch of KameIia, Auxiliary
Of Khan, Will Be Started
Here.

Women Ku Kluxers, they're
coming.
The organization Of branch
of the Kamelia, or women's aux
iliary to the Knights of the Ku
Klux Khan, will start here short
ly, it became known today.
The membership, it is expect
ed, will include largely wives,
daughters and other female rela-
tives of local klansmen.
Settled Last Night.
This became known last night at
the meeting staged by the Ku Klux
Khan at Capital City Park, a stones
throw from Chesapeake Junction.
DR.. j. B. Hawkins, imperial repre-
sentative, was the principal speaker
OF the evening.
THE country must depend on its
public schools to discipline the ris-
ing generation to think and think
right" he declared. He then said
that no one should have the privi-
lege of teaching the public schools
who was not a graduate OF the
public institutions.
AttackS N0grO6S.
DR.. Hawkins vigorously attacked
the negroes.
This is a white mans country
and must be kept So" he yelled.
This statement was greeted with
prolonged applause.
Discussing the wearing Of the
masks, DR.. Hawkins said:
Masks are part Of the robes
If hn Xv,t -
Khan. Members Of this order have
just as much right to wear their
lodge regalia as members Of other
secret lodges have"
Never To Fan, He Says.
You can't legislative the Khan
out Of the United States" he con.
tinued. 80 long as the Khan up
holds the principles of Jesus Christ
it will never go down"
Separation of church and State
was demanded by DR.. Hawkins. He
declared that the combination Of the
church and State would be dis.
astrous to both sides. Let the
Government run its own affairs and
the church it's own" he said.
About 500 Klansmen attended the
meeting and seventy.five others
were initiated into the secret order.
A fiery cross burned for more
than an hour in the center OF the
field, giving spectators an excellent
opportunity to get a closeup of a
Ku Klux meeting.
Little Secrecy Shown.
The veil of secrecy usually thrown
about meetings and members OF the
order was thrown down for the
most part last night. Just before
dark several hundred Klansmen ar.
rived on the field and were mixing
In the crowd, their faces uncovered.
Even during the ceremony many
Of the Klansmen kept their masks
off the face,
A guard of some fifty Ku Kluxers
was used to keep the crowds back.
The people finally surged to within
fifteen feet of the square formed
by the white-robed men. More
than 1000 persons viewed the meet
ing.
Evans Not There.
Imperial Wizard Evans did not
put in his appearance. The word
was passed around that he was too
tired and had remained at his hotel
Last nights meeting was the
first open meeting held in this
section of the country. Services
were conducted under the auspices
of the Kolumbia Khan of Maryland
The services consisted Of a bugle
call, singing, one speech and init1a
| ton ceremonies.

Little feet,
Tapping, tapping, trying to kiss their
Sweet.
She tucked one wandering toe beneath
The fold

Cold.

And toward her waiting garments

But some harsh winds had waited
Them away.
So Truth Is quite naked even to
This day.

TAKE SALTS IF
 RHEUMATISM IS
 BOTHER|NG YOU
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid of Toxic
 Acid

Rheumatism is no respector of age, ] sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions 1t Is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile. dress as warmly as possible. avoid and undue exposure and above all. drink lots of pure wa ter.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It Is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast 1t out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work: they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week This Is helpful to neutralize acidity remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and Is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
