surrounding old Thomas Josselyn's

hand fell upon the thread that should
lead her to the truth. Her simple
faith that the truth must come to light
helped them all.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImer's SWamp-ROOt

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According 70 sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that il fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

"Oh, Wen make fight of itp'
George added. Immediately after
ward he took Ellen away.
They went to the Port Washington
house, and George came in to talk to
her aunt and grandfather. Ellen hard
ly spoke. She went TO the door, TO
say goodnight to him, and thank him.
He thought she looked ILL.,
But she was in her place in the
courtroom a few days later when
Thomas Gibbs Josselyn was sentenced
to penal servitude for the term of his
natural life, for the peculiarly afro
cious crime of numbering his own ia

"And somehow, one lives through 1t
all. George" Gibbs said later. He was
behind bars now, but astonishingly
serene and strong. He was nervously
anxious to have the events of the
next week over. when he should be
transferred to the big prison. II want

the city, reflecting credit upon the
organization. Foresight and progress
slveness are embodied in the temple,
for which the local members of the
order are to be complimented.
The temple, which is built after
the fashion of the Greek style of
architecture with a portico supported
by four doric' columns, is 72 feet in
length and 80 feet in width. The
facade is constructed of native sand
stone, and the side walls and the
rear wall of the first story are con-
structed of reinforced concrete. The
walls of the second story are of brick
The roof has a gabled effect with
succeed cornice. 1t is the inten-
tion of the lodge to stucco the side
and rear walls at a later date.
On the first floor are lounging
room, banquet room and kitchen
cite. The dimensions of the lounging
room are 13x30 feet, and of the
banquet room 3Ox36 feet. The
kitchenette is equipped with modern
built-in conveniences, and the ban
quet room has beamed ceiling.
There are four rooms on the second
floor, lodge room and three proper
ty rooms. The lodge room is 46 feet
in length and 80 feet in width, with
a domed ceiling.
The front entrance has large oak
door with bevel plate glass and side
lights. The front windows of the
second story are colored glass with
masonic designs in them. The portico
of the temple, built after the Grecian
style of architecture, is beautiful
one, The large white doric columns
are accentuated by the more somber
background of sandstone, making an
artistic as well as a dignified relief
The MaGirl hot air heating system
has been installed in the temple with
special registers which distribute The
heat throughout the building, giving
a uniform temperature. With this
system the temple can be hea5ed
from zero to seventy degrees in 25
minutes. In connection with the
heating plant is a special ventilating
system. The purpose of the venti-
lating apparatus is to cool the build
ing in hot weather. The air in the
entire building can be completely
changed every ten minutes with this
system.
One of the features of the temple
is the indirect lighting system, which
was installed by the Arizona Electric
company. In addition to the indirect
lights there are also numerous side
lights which enhance the beauty Of
the rooms, particularly the lodge
room.

Charles D. Ray, secretary to the
grand exalted ruler, and Mrs. James

in that state. General conditions
and lodge conditions are very splendid
in California" he continued. "The
lodges there are prospering and are
doing exceptionally well. The mem

ceeds 10000. The clubs are stressing
social and community welfare work
including charity, Americanlzation,
boys work, hospital work and work
for the betterment of the future
generations. The lodges are ascer-
tanning what particular improve
ments are needed in their respective
communities and are acting accord
ingly.
"The Elks order now has 1,476
lodges and more than 100000 mem
bers. One of the recent accomplish
ments of the grand lodge is the

MARY SUCCEEDS
ON MAIN STREET

A Series of Articles Treating
of the Opportunities in Small
Towns for the Girl Who Works;
Playing Up the Advantages of
Not Going to the City.
So much has been written
against Main Street and in favor
of Broadway as places of oppor-
tunity for the girl who wishes to
enter upon a career or earn a
living, that it is high time that
someone with talent and expert
ence should set forth the real
facts drawn from actual human
examples. The matter is covered
in a series of articles now appear
in the The Mail and, strange to
say, it is Broadway girl who
takes up the cudgel in favor OF
Main Street.
The author of this useful and
extremely interesting series is on
Broadway because she finds it a
vantage point from which to wage
her campaign in the interests OF
Main Street girls. She came from
a small town and made good in
newspaper work before going to
city. She is managing editor
of the Women's News Service OF
New York City, an organization
devoted to gathering and distri-
buting news about women. She
also directs the National Women
in Industry department Of the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union. She organized and direct
ed publicity for women in the
United States Employment Bureau.
The Stories make a splendid
case for Main Street and should
prove an inspiration to many
thousands of women. Do not fail
to read them.
