The Loya[ Order of Moose is an international fraternal society consisting of more than sixteen hundred lodges in the Un 1u ulates, Canada and throughout the English-speaking woNd, havmg an aggregate memi.ership in all these lodges of more than five hundred thousand men. Most of the lodges provide for sick tenefits and funeral expense funds for their members. Each lodge is a complete unit in itself, with full local autonomy
As a means for the better accomplishing their purposes the lodges have organized a central agency called the “Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose,” with headquarters at Mooseheart, Illinois. All the general activities of the Order center there and the Supreme officers in active charge have their offices there.

honest relative with means opens up his heart and offers a home don’t be too insistent in opposing him. Think of the thousands of children yet to come.
Conserve Mooseheart service.
Remember that the Mooseheart Governors are -trying to take care of all the children who should be admitted. Rest assured that if the case from your lodge is not accepted that it is because there are others more worthy.
No child with a genuine need has ever been rejected by MOOSEHEART. Its heart is big—but there are only so many buildings—so many beds.
No matter how pressing the case may be, try to realize that it might be worse—and often is.
Conserve Mooseheart service.
MOOSE MEAT
To have friends you must be one.
A hen is an egg’s way of getting another egg.
We are not punished by our sins, but for them.
A fraternalist must be not only friendly, but also busy.
To do good is better than to talk good.
To-day’s child is to-morrow’s world maker.
MOOSEHEART educators know that a child learns to do, by doing.
Some people talk about things, while others are getting them done.
Help the Endowment Fund.—It means MOOSEHEART immortality.
The homeless and neglected children of to-day will be the citizens of to-morrow. To-day is the time for us to decide what kind of citizens they shall make.
Be not merely good; be good for something!
Every good man attains immortality; every good institution deserves it. Send your five dollars to the Endowment Fund.
MOOSEHEART is the only city in the world for, of and by children.
Senator Harding and Governor Cox are Moose. We hope to see the time when a Mooseheart gradu•» ate will be President.

strife and bloodshed; when we will have less of the “rule of gold,” and more of the Golden Rule.
“So many gods, so many creeds,
So many ways that wind and wind When all the old, sad wor d needs Is just the art of being kind.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
LOST IN A CROWD
THERE never was a time, in all the history of civilization, when the world was so big, and the average man so little as to-day. Unprotected, unsupported by others; affiliated with no fraternity; joining in no defending circle; standing by himself and alone,—what chance, has the average man to combat and conquer, and defend his children from poverty, ignorance, disease, sickness and death?
The average man gets lost in the crowd!
When accident or misfortune comes, and his small life is blotted out, his family is swallowed up!
Most men cannot leave the protection of great wealth.
Don’t let your neighbor get lost!
He needs you and needs MOOSEHEART protection.
Get him into the Defending Circle!
If you have done something that is good, forget it—and do something better!
THE FEAR OF POVERTY
OF all the horrors that haunt the lives, and trouble the hearts of men none is worse than the fear of poverty.
The dread of old age, of sickness, of unemployment, of uncertain support for his wife and little ones—this is the terror that comes through the toil of the day, and in the stillness of the night to the man, who has not made some provision for the protection of his wife, and for the care of his children.
The greatest thing in the world is to help someone help himself.—James J. Davis.
CHILD CONSERVATION
iT is better to form than reform!
It is better to prevent than to cure!
By taking care of the dependent ones of today MOOSEHEART is preventing some of the poverty of to-morrow.
If every city was like the “City of Childhood” there would be nowhere in the wide world, ignorance, or poverty, or injustice.
CONSERVE MOOSEHEART SERVICE
Mooseheart service is like the water in the cup to the thirsty soul. There is only so much of it, and if one drinks too deeply, there will be none left for other thirsty ones.
Don’t think that every child of a Moose family should be at Mooseheart.
Conserve the bed space at MOOSEHEART with care—then we will surely find it waiting when the great need comes.

THE HEART OF THE MOOSE
Better bodies by play; better hands by work; better brains by study; better souls by prayer;—this is the heart of MOOSEHEART.
—Rodney H. Brandon.
Live one day at a time and be kind—Elbe1■•־ Hubbard.
HAS CHRISTIANITY FAILED?
TY7HEN red war came to maim men’s bodies, and W break women’s hearts, many people of fal-1 tering faith, and little hope, said in despair: “CHRISTIANITY HAS FAILED”.
Christianity hasn’t failed, because it has never been tried!
It has been preached from many churches, but it has been practiced by only a few people.
If you are sick unto death, and the doctor comes and leaves you medicine, and you throw the medicine out of the window, then it is not the doctor’s fault if you do not get well.
It is your own fault!
You have thrown away the thing that would save your life.
Christianity is the only philosophy, and presents the only program, that will regenerate the hearts of mankind; establish justice everywhere; and save the world.
We have had too much preaching, and too little
practice.
We have had too much lip service, and too little genuine Christian effort.
We have had too much “churchanity,” and too little Christianity.
MOOSEHEART symbolizes “Applied Christianity.”
MOOSEHEART does what others talk about.
MOOSEHEART is the only city in the. world where no child is either rich or poor, and where one day a week every boy and girl worships, voluntarily, and in their own way, the all wise and Omnipotent Father of us all.
Every child at Mooseheart is reared in the faith of its parents.
The Loyal Order of Moose interferes with no man’s politics or religion, but stands for clean politics, good government and the religion of the “Fatherhood of God,” and the “Brotherhood of Man”.
MOOSEHEART built and maintained, through the co-operative, unselfish effort of six hundred thousand men, points the way to a better, happier, fairer world, where the ideals of the “Carpenter prophet of Galilee” will fill the hearts of men; the time when Christianity will end poverty, ignorance,
