GOT A LAME BACK +?

This is the time of year when many
people work more than usual out of
doors in their gardens and round
about the place, or at housekeeping
with the usual result of a sore and
lame back and muscles--a most un-
pleasant feeling and which often
keeps up for some time. The best
relief is a liberal rubbing with Bal
lard's Golden Oil. This is essential
ly an oil preparation with peculiar
penetrating qualities, combined with
healing gums.
1t quickly reaches the sore spot,
lubricates the muscles and joints and
its effect is felt at once. Not expen-
siye-liberal bottles for IS cents and
found everywhere in the corner gen.
eral stores as we'll as the city drug
stores. Try it.-Advt.

NASONS AND ELKS
WILL BUILD new
HOMES THIS YEAR

Two of the lodges of Winslow are
working on plans for new buildings
to be constructed in the near future,
probably during the coming summer,
although neither one of them is far
enough along with their plans to
make any definite announcement as
to exact time for beginning opera
tiOns.
The MaSons are planning to con-
struct building on their lot located
on the west side of Kinsley Avenue
between third and fourth streets. The
building committee is working on the
plans and as soon as these are COM
plete and decided upon, construction
will be started. This may be within
the next month or two though no de-
finite time can be given. It is not
known yet, of course, what material
will be used in the building, but
those interviewed thought it would
likely be either brick or stone. A
large building is not contemplated
but a moderate sized building that
will be adequate to meet the needs of
the Lodge. 1t seems the members of
the order are not in favor of building
large building, out of proportions
with their needs, and thus putting
large debt upon the Lodge that would
take years to liquidate. They seem
to favor a building of two stories
that would cost them not to exceed
$4,000 or $4,000. They have money
in hand to construct a building Of
such proportions and hence are ready
to begin as soon as plans are decided
upon. Such building will be val
liable acquisition to the town and a
pleasure and valuable asset to the
Masonic Fraternity of WinslOw.
The Elks are also planning for a
new building to be erected in the
near future. They have purchased
lots on the south side of Third street
adjoining the Methodist parsonage
where they will construc a fine build
ing. Their building committee is al
SO busy on plans for the new build
ing and as soon as these can be per-
fected they expect to begin work. 1t
is the hope of the Elks to carry out
their building project this coming
summer. There will be facilities for
all their lodge activities in the new
building, and in addition there will
be some thirty or forty rooms for
the use of Elks who wish them. No
expense will be spared to make this
new building one that will meet every
need of the lodge for years to come
and furnish its members home that
will be joy and delight forever. The
contemplated cost will be from $685.
600 to $4,000. This new Elks' build
ing, when constructed, will beanother
mark and proof of the progress Of
Winslow, and everv citizen, whether
an Elk or rot, will take pride in it,
Nav success crown the efforts of
these enterprising orders, and may
we soon see the walls of these new
building going up in our midst.
