The Knights of Columbus is not
what is usually known as a
"secret" society. Its aims and ob-
jectives are well-known—to foster
among Catholic men the ideals of
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and
Patriotism. The only secret 'fea-
ture of the .order is the manner in
which these ideals are taught.
From the original six members
the Order has grown to over one
million members. Primarily an or-
ganization of Catholic laymen, it
includes among its members most
of the Bishops and Priests in the
United States. The Order has ,often
been commended by the Holy Fath.
er and the Bishops for its vast arid
effective work of spreading the
faith through its Catholic adver-
tising pipgram, its youth work,
support of Catholic education,
charities and war work.
Friday, March 29, will be the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the
Knights of Columbus, in .obser-
vance of the occasion the four
councils in this d'strict will at-
tend a banquet sponsored by the
Port Lavaca Council.
All members of the Knights of
Columbus, their wives or guests are
invited to the affair which will be
held in the Roosevelt Elementary
School Cafeteria in Port Lavaca
at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

EAR NOISES REUEyip
. . , thousands report. Blessed relief from
years of suffering from miserable ear
noises and poor hearing caused by ca-
tarrhal (excess mucus) conditions of the
head! That's what these folks (many past
70) reported after using our simple
Elmo Palliative HOME TREATMENT.
This may be the answer to your prayer.
Nothing to wear. Here are SOME of the
symptoms that may likely be due to such problems; Mucus
dropping in throat. Head feels stopped up by mucus. Mucus in
nose or throat every day. Hear — but don't understand words.
Hear better on clear days — worse on rainy days, or with a
cold. Ear noises like crickets, bells, whistles, clicking or escaping
steam or many others. If your condition is caused by catarrh
of the head, you, too, may likely enjoy such wonderful relief as
many others have reported during our past 18 years. WRITE TO-
DAY FOR PROOF OF RELIEF AND 30 DAY TRIAL OFFER.
