IMPERIAL HEAD
MYSTIC SHRINE
ZAMORA'SGUEST
Big Ceremonial And Ban
quet Planned On Vista
ton Of C.. V. Dykeman

Elaborate plans for the entertain
ment of Imperial Potentate, Conrad v.
Dykeman Of New York and party are
being made by Zamora temple, Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine, the occasion be-
ing the official visitation of the I'm
perial potentate on Thursday, April 10.
The visitors will arrive in Birming-
ham at :05 o'clock on Thursday
morning, and will be met by DR.. Fl. @.
Crelly, Zamoras potentate, the official
dfvan, the uniformed bodies and mem
bers of the Shrine. They will be es-
certed to their headquarters at the
Tutwiler hotel.
The program will include a big cere-
monial session, with a large class of
candidates in waiting a traditional
banquet, a business meeting with the
imperial potentate and visiting poten-
tates, a reception for Shriners only at
the Temple, and other features de-
signed to give the distinguished visitor
royal Shrine welcome.
On Monday night, April z, business
meeting will be held at the Masonic
temple, for the purpose of receiving
and balloting on petitions. Allpetitions
must be in the hands of Recorder
Charles J. Geohegan on or before this
date. Recorder Geohegan states that
there will be no baloting on the day of
ceremonial and makes a special request
for those having petitions to send them
in at once.
Potentate Crelly is very DESTROYS of
al
both in the number of candidates
presented and in the attendance of the
nobility, in order to give the Imperial
Pctentate concrete evidence of Zamoras
strength and importance. There are
several matters that Zamora temple
viii place before the imperial council
at It's meeting in Kansas City this June.
They include the location of a site for
a Shrine hospital for crippled chill
dren, one of the detectives Of Potentate
Crelly and the separate annual meet
ings of the southern temples as ad-
vocated by Past Potentate Matthews.
These matters will probably be dis
eussed informally during the official
visitation and the officers of Zamora
are DESTROYS of making a real good
showing that the imperial potentate
ought be favorably impressed.
On Thursday afternoon at 2 80
o'clock, a business meeting with the
imperial potentate and visiting poten-
fates, DR.. Crelly states that several of
the southern temples will be represent
ed, will be held and matters of inter
est to the southern temples will be dis
cussed.
Candidates have been notified to re-
port at the Masonic temple Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock for registration,
and at o'clock a short business ses-
sion will be held and the first sec
ton of the ceremonial conferred.
A traditional banquet will be held in
the dining rooms of the temple at 5 80
o'clock and a number of talks will be
made by the visitors and members of
Zamora. At o'clock a reception to the
imperial potentate will be held in the
temple for Shriners only (no ladies)
At 8 o'clock the second section of the
ceremonial will commence, and it is
understood that the candidates have
been assured of hot time in the old
burg that night"

An Absolutely Reliable Statement
Important to Every Woman
Remarkable Results Shown by a Nation
Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
10000 Women Answer

For some time a circular has been
enclosed with each bottle of our
medicine bearing this question:
"Have you received benefit from
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound"
Replies, to date, have been re-
ceived from over 100000 women
answering that question.
50 per cent Of which say YES.
That means that 90 out Ofevery
100 women who take the medi-
cine for the ailments for which
tisrecommended are benefited
by it.
This is a most remarkable record
of efficiency. We doubt if any
other medicine in the world
equals it.
Think of it-only two women
out of 100 received no benefit
90 successes out of apostolic 100.
Did you ever hear of anything
like itf We must admit that
we, ourselves, are astonished.

OF course we know that our med
icine does benefit thelarge major
ity of women who take it. But
that only two out of 100 received
no benefit is most astonishing.
1t only goes to prove, however,
that a medicine specialized for
certain definite ailments-not a
cure alone that is made by the
most scientific process; not from
drugs, but from a combination
of natures roots and herbs, can
and does do more good than
hastily prepared prescriptions.
You see, we have been making,
improvingand re6ningthis med
icine for over so years until it is
SO perfect and SO well adapted to
women's needs that it actually
has the virtue to benefit 90 out of
every 100 women who take it.
It's reliability and recognized
efficiency has gained for it sale
in almost every country in the
world-leading all others.
