They are 10 by 14 inches in size and the special offering for this month is a beautiful view of Moose Creek where it enters the lake. The price delivered to your door is $3.00.

ANCIENT HISTORY.
Mr. James J. Davis,
Director General L. 0. O. M., Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Sir and Bro.—We have in our city an esteemed citizen who is a retired showman. His name is John F. Stowe. At a recent date, a number of Brother Elks (including myself) surprised him at his home and presented him with a rocking chair, the occasion being the event of his taking unto himself a wife. During the evening, while discussing fraternal orders, Mr. Stowe made the statement that he was one of the original members of the Loyal Order of Moose, although he had never been a member after they procured a charter. He said that in 1887 or ’88 that he was playing in vaudeville at Nellis Borden’s Variety Theater in Louisville, Ky.. and a number of performers got together and organized a club for social purposes. The question came up for a name to be given to it, and he suggested the name of the Moose, which was agreed upon, and they appointed him Grand Dictator. The initiation fees were whatever one could afford to give, some being a box of cigars, and a hatter who joined presented the Dictator with a plug hat. After leaving Louisville for other engagements, the club was forgotten, and little did he realize that it would grow into a grand order such as we have at the present time. Our local Lodge of Moose has extended Mr. Stowe an invitation to become a social member of our Order, but before becoming a member he says he would like to have his statements substantiated in some way. This is why I write you for enlightenment. Three of the performers who were members at the time in Louisville were the Crimmins Bros, and Billy Baker, but he has lost track of them. With best wishes, I am
Yours fraternally in P. A. P.,

Dear Editor:—If you can spare a little space in Magazine, will be glad to tell the many readers about Concord Lodge, No. 404. In June of last year we organized No. 404, and in thirty days we had a membership of nearly three hundred members. We increased right along until the epidemic of influenza hit us in the early fall, when it became impossible to hold any public meetings. Prospects are much better now, however, we still have many cases of influenza in our city.
We are getting ready to put on a big membership drive the fiirst of March, when we hope to grow ■to a “round thousand.”
Our good Dictator, who is one of the leading attorneys here, is now at Raleigh, the state capital, where he is “serving his time” as senator. Bro. J. O. Moose, our Vice, is filling the chair very satisfactory in our Dictator’s absence. Bro. Moose has been a '“moose” for 40 years and likes it.
Yours for a million Moose in 1919, J, WALTER DARNELL, Sec’y.
Concord. N. C., Jan. 23rd, J.919.

Are You Losing Your Grip On Health
Your Blood May Be Starving for Want of Iron—Making You Weak, Nervous, Irritable and Exhausted.
Nuxated Iron increases the Red Blood Corpuscles and builds up the strength, energy and endurance of delicate, run-down people in two weeks* time in
many instances.
Thousands of men and women are impairing their constitutions, laying themselves open to illness and literally losing their grip on health, simply because their blood is thinning out and possibly starving through lack of iron.
Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, says: “Lack of iron in the blood not only makes a man a physical and mental weakling, nervous, irritable, easily fatigued, but it utterly robs him of that virile force, that stamina and strength of will which are so necessary to success and power in every walk of life. It may also transform a beautiful, sweet-tempered woman into one who is cross, nervous and irritable. To help make strong, keen, red-blooded Americans there is nothing in my experience which I have found so valuable as organic iron—Nuxated Iron. It often increases the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, run-down people in two weeks’ time.” Nuxated Iron is now being used by over three million people annually, including such men as Ex-Governor of Iowa; former United States Senator and Vice-Presidential nominee, Charles A. Towne; United States Commissioner of Immigration Hon. Anthony Caminette; also United States Judge, G. W. Atkinson of the Court of Claims of Washington and others.
The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory re־־ uIts to every purchaser or they will refund your money.
Nuxated Iron is dispensed by all good druggists.
