DISTRICT LODGE MEETINGS KEEP REBEKAHS BUST President Attends 23 in Six Weeks; Aids Drives for Members. Following a series of twenty-three Rebekah district meetings in the past six weeks, Mrs. Ura R. Lee, president of the Rebekah assembly, is planning to attend four more in the next two weeks. She will be the guest of honor Wednesday at Frankfort and at Butler Friday. Milford lodge will entertain her Nov. 12 and Covington Nov. 14. The purpose of the district sessions, according to Mrs. Lee, is to build up the organization and to inculcate the spirit of Rebekah-Odd Fellowship in the members. A statewide membership drive is under way now, and Mrs. Lee plans campaigns with the local officers of the districts. Raise Dormitory Fund Schools of instruction are held by Mrs. Lee with officers and members attending. One of the most important projects discussed is the SIO,OOO fund for the girl’s dormitory now being built at the Odd Fellow home at Greensburg. The money is being raised through mite box collections and through special drives by the individual lodges. At each Rebekah meeting the mite box is passed and members contribute small sums. At stated intervals the box is opened and the money forwarded to Mrs. Grace E. Child, Indianapolis, state 'secretary, who applies the money to the dormitory fund. About $1,300 has been contributed through the mite collections so far. The money is forwarded to the state secretary each week by the out-state lodges. 'The total collections for the fund is about $4,000, Mrs. Lee says.

I 'Aunt Nettie’ Honored by Masons on Birthday

Dreams and Labors of Woman Now 90; Built Lodge Home. Love is the Spirit of this Home, And Service Is Its Law. To dwell together In Peace, To be considerate In all things. And to help one another. That is the inscription on the walls of the Masonic home at Franklin, Ind. And the aged woman who saw the home grow from a vision to a reality sits idly there “waiting for the clock to run down.” Mrs. Nettie Ransford (Aunt Nettie) today joined in the celebration of her ninetieth birthday. A 150-pound cake lighted with ninety candles was the center of the observance. Fletcher W. Boyd, superintendent of the home, writes: “In 1909 Mrs. Ransford conceived the idea for starting funds for the home which she had been dreaming of for years. The grand lodge of Indiana, F. and A. M., appointed a committee to form the home on May 26, 1909. “Mrs. Ransford had collected a large fund from pennies given at Eastern Star meetings in the state, and on May 28, 1913, a committee was appointed to select a site and proceed with the building. She always has been a member of the board. Franklin was selected July 23, 1914, by a one vote majority, Mrs. Ransford casting the deciding vote. “The first six buildings were dedicated Oct. 21, 1916. They were the administration, boys’ cottage, girls’ cottage, laundry, power house, and the Eastern Star hospital. “Since then the Scottish Rite of the Valley of Indianapolis has built a memorial, with an addition, in memory of World war soldiers, housing 122 aged men. Other buildings are Knights Templar memorial, school building and Halloway hall, two additions to the hospital, three additional girls’ cottages, memorial gate and entrance by the Keystone chapter of Royal Arch Masons, memorial fouritain by Raper Commandery of the Knights Templar, memrial greenhouse by the Indianapolis council of Royal and Select Masters, playgrounds by the Blue lodges of Terre Haute, additional acreage. “Mrs. Ransford, with Dr. Olin E. Holloway of Knightstown, board president, has worked constantly for the success of the home which now cares for 431 members, 220 of whom are children,” says Superintendent Boyd. Mrs. Ransford has been ill for some time, and entered the home in June this year. She liked to reminisce over the early days of her work for the home, and she recalls her girlhood in stories to her physicians and nurses. One of hes favorites is the time she served on a committee to meet Abraham Lincoln when he visited Indianapolis. A physician asked "Aunt” Nettle if she felt well enough to receive the congratulations of friends or her birthday. “My clock of life slowly is running down, and the key of activity to rewind the clock now is gone,” she said.

Indiana Mother Tells Story Nature controls all the functions of our digestive organs except one. We have control over that, and it’s the function that causes the most trouble. See that your children form regular bowel habits, and at the first sign of bad breath, coated tongue, biliousness or constipation, give them a little California Fig Syrup. It regulates the bowels and stomach and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act as Nature intends them to. It helps build up and strengthen pale, listless, underweight children. Children love its rich, fruity taste and it’s purely vegetable, so you can give it as often as your child’s appetite lags or he seems feverish, cross or fretful. Leading physicians have endorsed it for 50 years, and its overwhelming sales record of over four million bottles a year shows how mothers depend on it. An Indiana mother, Mrs. Nora Ficklin, 123 Herman St., Indianapolis, says: “Hazel was terribly pulled down by constipation. She got weak, fretful and cross, had no appetite or energy and food seemed to sour in her stomach. California Fig Syrup had her romping and playing again in just a few days, and soon she was back to normal, looking better than she had looked in months.” Protect your child from imitations of California Fig Syrup. The mark of the genuine is the word “California” on the carton.—Advertisement.
