NO PERMANENT HOME
FOR GRAND LODGE
Odd Fellows Prefer to Have Annual Sessions Held
in Different Cities—Power For President of
State Assembly of Rebekahs
The meeting of the Grand Ledge
I. O. O. F. yesterday afternoon was a
business meeting pure and simple
’ihe end of the annual session of this
year was in sight The orators had
talked out and the business men were
were in control. When Grand Master
Schwartz called the Grand podge to
order at 2p. m All knew that the
nour for wind pudding had passed and
the business of the session proceeded
with energy and snap.
Among the more important results
of the afternoon's legislation were
the following:
Trust ees Relieved.
The Grand Lodge trustees to wnom
had been referred propositions from
various cities offering building sites
and bonuses for the permanent loca-
tion of the Grand Lodge building re-
ported asking either for more definite
instructions or else to be relieved
from further consideration of the
matter. By a unanimous vote the
Grand Lodge relieved the Grand
Lodge trustees from further consid-
eration of proposed locations for a
permanent home for the Grand Lodge.
The sentiment of the majority of the
members of the order is opposed to
making the Grand Lodge a perma-
nent fixture. It is believed that the
greatest good can be accomplished for
Ilie greatest numbar of lodges by
having the annual sessions of that
body held in a different city each
year so that the membership of every
■portion of the state can be visited by
the erand officers in a body and not
tingly as they wou’d otherwise be.
it was also voted that the president
of the State Assembly of the Re-
bekahs be granted the power to grand
charters and issue supplies to Re-
*bekahs lodges and to sit on appeals
from such lodges she reporting the
same to the Grand Lodge through the
Grand Master for final approval.
All of the recommendations of
Grand Master Joiner in regard to the
Odd Fellows' Widows and Orphans
Home were adopted.
Past Grand Masters Wren Keller
md Hunter were appointed a special
committee to compile a complete re-
vision of the decisions of the Grand
Lodge of Texas down to the close of
the present session. The grand sec-
retary was authorized to have a thou
sand copies of this revised digest
printed for sale to the subordinate
lodges.
Must Report on Hotels.
A resolution was unanimously
a-iopted making it necessary for the
local committee on entertainment of
the Grand Lodge of any city selected
as the place for the meeting of said
Grand Lodge to mail to the grand
master not later than the first of
January of the year during which the
Grand Lodge is to meet there a de-
To Owners
of Bad Breath-
Foui Odor of Indigestion Smoking
Eating or Drinking Stopped at
Once With Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges.
'.Trial Package to Prove it Sent Free.
Bilious breathers onion eaters indi-
gestion victims cabbage consumers
smokers drinkers and those with gas
on the stomach are in a class all by
themselves distinguished by a power-
ful bad breath.
They all breathe and as they
breathe they whiff out odor which
makes those standing near turn their
heads away in disgust. The pitiable
part of it is that these victims do not
realize what a sickening thing a bad
offensive breath is to others.
Charcoal is a wonderful absorber of
gases and odors. It absorbs 100 times
its own volume of gas.
Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges will put
a stop to your bad offensive breath
and to your belchings whatever the
cause or source because the charcoal
quickly absorbs all noxious unnatural
odors and gases.
If you suffer from indigestion and
belch gas as a result Stuart's Char-
coal Lozenges will absorb all the gas
and make you stop belching.
If on getting up in the morning you
have such a bad bilious breath that
you can almost smell it yourself
Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges will get
xid of it for you quickly.
If you have been smoking or chew-
ing or have been eating onions or oth-
er odorous things Stuart’s Charcoal
Lozenges will make your breath pure
and sweet.
Charcoal is also the best laxative
known. You can take a whole box-
ful and no harm will result. It is a
wonderfully easy regulator.
And then too it filters your blood
—every particle of poison and impu-
rity in your blood is destroyed and
you begin to notice the difference in
your face first thing—your clear com-
plexion.
Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges are
made from pure willow charcoal and
just a little honey is put in to make
them palatable but not too sweet.
They will work wonders in yo.ur
stomach and make you feel fine and
fresh. Your blood and breath will be
purified. You will feel clean inside.
We want to prove all this to you so
just send for a free sample today.
Then after you get it and use it you
will like them so well that you will
go to your druggist and get a 25c box
of these Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges.
Send us your name and address to-
day and we will at once send you by
mall a sample package free. Address

tor members of the Grand Lodge also
the fact that a suitable room or hall
lias been obtained near the hall pro-
vided for the meetings of the Grand
Lodge where the committee on secret
work can meet. The grand master is
authorized in case reasonable hotel
aad railroad rates cannot be obtained
to change the meeting place of the
Grand Lodge to some city where such
reasonable rates and accommodations
van be obtained. The intention of
ihis resolution is tc avoid in future
such conditions as have prevailed
here from lack of sufficient hotel ac-
commodations.
A proposed amendment of the laws
that was offered last March at Dallas
(hanging the time of meeting of the
Giand Lodge to the first Tuesday of
Mar of each year was defeated by an
almost unanimous vote. The Grand
Lodge will continue to hold its annual
sessions during the first week of
March of each year.
Committees Named.
The official decisions of Grand Mas-
ter Joiner during his term of office
were all endorsed by the Grand Lodge
with one verbal addition.
A special committee of five consist-
ing of T. W. Wiley of McKinney Dr.
B. J. Hubbgyd of Kaufman C. B. Lewis
of Ennis. T. L. Wren of Austin Harry
Lmmins of Dallas was appointed to
i evise the existing code of general
jaws. This presents a difficult task
involving voluminous work and many
require some great length of time to
complete.
A special committee of three con-
sisting of H D. Johnson Dr. B. J.
Hubbard and Rudolph Kleberg Jr.
was appointed to devise ways and
means of arousing interest in subordi-
nate lodges manifesting weakness.
There are several lodges in the juris-
hiction of Texas that do not manifest
the proper interest and activity in the
work of the Odd Fellows and It is be-
lieved that by bringing the proper in-
fluence to bear upon them they can be
-onverted into thriving and enthu-
siastic organizations.
Several lodges were granted permis-
sion to ask for financial relief from
other lodges in behalf of indigent
members.
At 4:50 o’clock the Grand Lodge
adiourned until this morning at 9
o'clock.
Degree of Chivary.
The degree of chivalry was confer-
red on a number of applicants by the
patriarchs militant at Beethoven hall
yesterday afternoon. The patriarchs
militant constitute the military or-
ganization within Odd Fellowship. Col-
onel H. B. Johnson of Corsicana
commandant of the Texas division and
A. T. Traylor of the same place is ad-
jutant general. The initiatory ceremo-
ny is one of the most beautiful in the
ritual of Odd Fellowship.
Representative Odd Fellows attend-
ing the Grand Lodge express them-
selves as well pleased with the work
done at the convention and evince a
satisfaction at the advancement by
Odd Fellowship during tjie last year
There are now 64 subordinate lodges
in the jurisdiction of Texas and the
membership at the end of last vear
showed an increase of 3500 in compari-
son to that of the year preceding
In the Order of the Ladles of Re-
bakah 28 new lodges were organized
during the year 1906 which in connec- '
tion with the steady growth of exist- i
ant lodges increased the membership
of that organization aproximatelv 1500 '
There are today 2.000.000 Odd Fei- I
lows in the world their organization .
being the largest and strongest nu-
merlcally. In the long list of national
and international fraternal associa-
tions. Speaking of his order yesterday
Past Grand Master Joiner declared I
that the siin never sets on Odd Fellow- I
ship for it rises on the lodge of the
old world when it goes down on those
in America. He declared that the
Odd Fellows spent more for charity
than any other organization last year
their expenditures and donations ag-
gregating 54500000. When analyzed.
। this amounts to an expenditure of
| a minute. The funds are raised by per
। capita taxation. The organization has I
i a home for widows and orphans in
I nearly every state in the Union The
I institution at Corsicana was the pfo- I
neer in this character of charitable on
deavor.
For Past Grand’s Medal.
At Odd Fellows' hall last night the
contest for the medals offered for the
best rendition of the past grand's
charge took place. There wore two
medals offered one by Dr. S. R Catos
of Abiiene the provisions of entry be-
ing previous defeat In a simitar con-
test. This medal was won bv I. G Eth-
eridge of Oak Cliff Lodge Dallas The
other medal offered by C. B Lewis of
Ennis was open for contest to all past
grands. This was won by Pebbv Har-
wood of Hillsboro.
For many years it has been neces-
sary to present a gold medal for the
best rendition of the nast grand'
charge. 'Chis year however is tn»
first occasion of two offerings
The past grand's charge is declared
by all Odd Fellows to be one of the
gems of English literature. It wa*
writen by Secretary Rldgley of the
First Soveriegn Grand L.dgo who
beautified and developed the primal
conceptions of Thomas Wildey. the
founder. I n the past grand's charges
are noted all the obligations of man’s
relation to man. most beautifully and
impressively described. About twenty
minutes are required for the rendi-
tion of the charges. It Is highly ora-
torical. being one of the best elocution-
ary selections it is said in the lan-
guage. It is given by the past grand
of each lodge to the candidate as he
is initiated.

denied those who cannot afford to
place large orders.

JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP.
In an article entitled “Japan's Pref-
erence for Peace with America" in
Harper's Weekly William Inglis the
author who is special correspondent
for the weekly in the far east shows
in a most informing way how reluc-
tant the Japanese would be to en-
gage in any conflict with the United
States that regret rather than anger
Is what the Japanese feel over the
San Francisco school incident and
that considerations of friendship are
heavier In the national scales than
। their pride over the Anglo-Japanese
I alliance.
