You Run
No Risk
in Joining the LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE OF THE WORLD on the
charter of Valdez Lodge No. 1427, because you can transfer to any other
lodge at any time, can take out a withdrawal card or a Supreme Lodge
card in case No. 1427 becomes defun ct But as long as ten members
desire to retain the charter it cannot be forfeited. So once a Moose,
always a Moose. The 8upreme Lodge, with a fat treasury, stands back
of every subordinate lodge, and in cases of fatal disasters or epidemics
extends unlimited relief the afflicted lodges Immediately without the un
winding of any red tape or assessment of the membership. The minute
you take the oath of a Loyal Moose one million members stand ready to
protect the honor of your home, aid you In sickness and distress, give
your children a free vocational training and yourself and wife care In
old age. A correspondence course will soon be available to the member
ship and a period at each meeting devoted to study. Competent Instruct
ors will visit each lodge frequently to better aid the Loyal Moose along
the paths of progress.
The Mooseheart governors are searching Arizona for the best avail
able site for a sanitarium, where all members stricken with the white
plague will be taken and cured. .And the cost of all this is only $13.00
per year. You cannot afford to overlook the advantage of being one of
a million members in the LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE OF THE WORLD,
an order that now ranks only second among beneficial fraternities, and
in less than two years will be the largest and greatest In the world.
“Get the password, get the rap;”

THE SUBTLE ASIATIC.
His Illustration of the Saying That
“Clothes Make the Man.”
Some hundreds of years ago there
lived In Agshelin. a little town In Asia
Minor, an imam, or village parson, the
Khoja Nasr-ed-Din Effendl. Concern
ing him Mr. H. C. Lukach tells some
stories in his book, “The Fringe of the
East"
One dny a camel passed along the
street in which the khoja lived, and
one of the khoja’s neighbors who had
never seen a camel before ran to ask
him what this strange beast might be.
“Don’t you know what that is?” said
the khoja, who also had never seen a
camel, but would not betray his igno
rance. “That is a hare a thousand
years old.”
A great man once gave a feast to
which, with much condescension, he
caused the khoja to be bidden. Ac
cordingly on the appointed day the
khoja repaired to the great man's
house and found himself in the midst
of a fashionable and richly clad com
pany, which took no notice of the poor
imam in his threndbare black gown.
No one greeted him or spoke to him
and eventually he was shown by a
servant to the lowest seat. After a
little while the khoja slipped away un
observed and went into the hall where
some of the mighty ones had left
their outer garments. Selecting a mag
nificent gown richly lined with fur, he
put it on and returned to the room.
Nobody recognized this resplendent
personage, whose arrival excited uni
versal attention. The company rose
to snlute him, and the host, who had
previously ignored him, approached,
bowing, and Inquired after his honor
able health.
The khoja stroked the sleeve of his
borrowed garment. "Answer, furl”
he said.
CHEAPER AUTOMOBILING.
Seasonable Advice That Will Keep
Down the Cost of Running a Car.
Motorists will find the following ad
vice from Motor Age of value just
now:
With the opening of spring the own
er-driver again is confronted with the
question of getting his car into com
mission for the summer season, and if
the machine has been in dead storage
nil winter the advisability of having it
completely overhauled will be of first
moment. If the car has gone through
one or two heavy seasons without over
hauling it deserves a good house clean
ing this spring. The necessity for a
regular overhauling depends largely on
the past attention given the car and
that owner-driver who has seen to it
that his car has been inspected regu
larly and gone over every 1,000 miles
will find little necessity for a general
overhauling.
Some of tiio most successful car driv
ers follow a policy of a good inspec
tion every 1,000 miles. If a service
building is at hand the car is run into
it and gone over at a cost of not over
$5. Often the bill is not one-half of
this.
Frequently an owner will spend over
$100 in a spring house cleaning of his
car, whereas $25 spent in regular in
spections would be much better and a
great deal cheaper.

than can be found in the dictionaries.
