 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region begin drinking lots of water. Also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia. and is intended to flush clogged kidneys and help stimulate them to activity.

MASONIC R E U N 1 0 N
 TO BE NOTABLE EVENT.
 DEDICATION CLAS s,

Tentative plans for the spring re- union of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry which will be held in the new Masonic Temple, indicate that 1t will be a memorable occasion. The reunion will be held in conjunction with the dedication ceremonies and the class will be known as the dedication class.
 With a view of creating greater interest in the Scottish Rite bodies and closer bond among the mem bers, A. M. Bruce, thirty second de- gree, has suggested that the mem bers of each class that has taken the Scottish Rite degrees during the past five years be invited to attend the reunion as unit.
 In commenting on the suggestion of MT. Bruce, the Scottish Rite Camp Chronicle says: He suggested that a letter be written to the president and secretary of each class, that has taken. the Scottish Rite degrees for the last five years, with the request that they call theirl class together at this reunion, and in this way not only renew old friendship, but so- lidify all members into one large re- union. In my opinion this dedica- ton should be a. great success, as all Scottish Rite Masons will be more than glad when our new hall is completed
 This suggestion is so timely and so practical that we here and now notify each president of class, each secretary and each orator that we wish their services in carrying out the purpose and plan as sug- gested by Brother Bruce. We also take this means of notifying al the members of these classes in advance that this method will be used and we will expect them to be present. We expect to suggest that each class se- lect at least one of our meals to be designated as a banquet in honor of that particular class. By this meth cd we hope that every meal served during the reunion will eommemor- ate one or more classes and that the membership of these classes will stay en masse to witness the follow ing degree when the orator of the class can be given an opportunity to be heard again on the floor of the rite."-
