of him - and indeed all around the
horse-shoe were members and guests
who helped him make this dinner an
eventful one. The Hon. David J. O'-
•Coiniell, the Demosthenes of the

self and John Hovendon, the found-
er of the Brotherhood, assisted ably
in injecting an infectious good cheer

Sores Flee Before It. -There are
many who have been afflicted with
sores and have driven them away

similarly troubled should lose no
