ODD FELLOWS' WORK. Journal of Proceedings of Last Grand Lodge, I. 0. 0. F. The daily journal of the proceed ings of the Sth annual convention of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the L 0. 0. F., which was held in the city of Denver, State of Colorado. com mencing September 21. 1908. has been forwarded to members of the Order living in the city. Copies of the report of the Hon. E. S. Con way, grand sire and commander in chief, and of the grand secretary, ad jutant general and grand treasurer have also been forwarded and persued with interest by the local Odd Fel lows. The convention, which has just drawn to a close, has been a particu larly successful one from every stand point. The reports of the officers show that the order has grown in po pularity. in numerical strength and in I financial resources. The subordinate lodge membership has made an increase of 80,448, in en campment membership, 14,591. In Rebecca membership, brothers 10,785, sisters 24.464. The aggregate net in crease in subordinate encampment and Rebecca members is 130,288. The present subordinate lodge member ship is 1,442,758 members. If the members of the Rebacca lodges are added to this, the total membership of the Odd Fellows and Rebeccas will be 1,814,445. Over five millions of dollars was spent by the Order in 1907 for relief. These figures evince the popularity of the Order and its strength. It ks second to no Order in the coun .in usefulness and good work. The .eports show that in South Carolina gains in every respect were made, in membership, in number of lodges and in relief expenditures. South Carolina was represented at the convention by three worthy past grand masters, W. S. Brown, of Co lumbia, J. M. Davis, of Newberry, and J. J. McSwain, of Greenville. These brethren took a prominent and active part in the proceedings. Past Grand Master Brown wa made chairman of the committe2 on draw.us of seats. Pas G-ai.a Mas ter McSwain was ma~de chai::muan of the very important eamittee known as the committee on the state of the rder and Past Grand Master Davis, chairman of the committee of cor respondence. These are three of the most important standing committees and shows that the South Carolina representatives were recognized fae tors in the Sovereign Grand Lodge. Several resolutions and reports were rendered by these representative members of the Odd Fellows and throughout the convention they took a prominent and influential part in! the proceedings. The next convention of the supreme lodge will be held in Seattle, Wash ington. The convention lasted five days and much business of much im ortance to the order in general was ransacted. The Grand Sire was directed to ap point a committee of seven, with him self as chairman, to revise the char er, constitution, by-laws and stand ng resolutions of the Grand Lodge and report at its next session, with uch suggestions and amendments as, he committee may deem proper. Section 10, Article 6; Section 4 1-2, rticle 4, and the amended Section 4, tiele 1, and Section 4, Article 5, of he Grand Lodge constitution of outh Carolina, was approved by overeign Grand Lodge. Section 3, rticle 9, was not approved. The opositior to make the age limit 18 ars instead of 21 was defeated. memorial ceremony for Rebecca dge was adopted, and is a very etty and effective ceremony. In e appointment of standing commit s for the coming year Past Grand ster McSwain was put upon the committee for revismng the charter, by-la ws. consltituti on and standing resoluthus. This is a very valuable nroointment and attests the very ' igh regard in which Mr. MeSwain vas held by the newly elected Grand Sire. Messrs. Davis. Brown and Me Swain have just reason to be pleased with the representative part they took in the transaction of business at the Denver convention. Their famil riarity with the rules and regulations and constitution of the Odd Fellows was manifested to their confreres inI that body, and their actions reflected most creditably on the grand domainI )wihech they represented. The follow ing officers were elected for the ensu ing year: Grand sire, Jno. L. Nolem, of Ten nessee. Deputy grand sire. W. L. Kuyker: dali, of Wyoming.I Grand secretary, Jno. B.

"NINETY THREE" The Story of a Famous Name and How It Originated. The foremost dermatologist in France, Dr. Sabourand, of Paris, and Prof. Unna, Hamburg. Germany, dis covered that a microbe caused bald ness. To prove their theory, Dr. Sabourand infected a guinea pig with some of these microbes, and in a comparatively short time thte animal was denuded of every hair that was on its body. Some eminent histologists and; chemists were employed by the Unit ed Drug Co., Boston. Mass., to find the means of destroying these mic robes and a remedy that would create a new "rowth of hair where the hair 1 roots had not been entirely destroy ed. After months of study, experiment ing and research work. they discov ered what they claimed would do what was demanded. To unquestion ably prove their theory, 100 leading druggists, located in as many dif ferent cities, were requested to each furnish the name of a responsible person suffering from falling hair and baldness. Each of these 100 per sons were furnished three bottle of the preparation with a request to give it a thorough trial and report results. Five of these persons failed to re port. Two declared they had been bald for years; and their hair fol licles had long been closed and their scalps were smooth and glossy. NTinety-three of the 100 sent in en thusiastic reports, stated that they were delighted with the hair-restor ing qualities of the preparation, and expressed sincere thanks for the wonderful benefits brought about by its use. In commemoration of this. the new preparation was named Rexall "93'' Hair Tonie. We sell this remedy with the dis tinct understanding that it is free of cost to the user in every case where it does not completetly remove dand ruff, siimulate the hair follicles, re vitalize the hair roots. stop the hair from falling out. grow new hair and make the scalp free from irritation. Rexall "93"' Hair Tonie comes in two sizes: prices, 50e., and $1.00. Gilder and Weeks. Newberry, S. C. EXCURSION RATES.VIA SOUTH ERN RAILWAY.
