Kioss, formerly of this place, now pastor of Milburn Chapel, South Bend, gdelivered the installation address which was elognent and logical. At 10:30 o'clock the bangnet was served and the knights and guests re paired to the tables tastefully and temptingly spread by the caterer, Geo.

Cleanable Collars and Cuffs “Celluloid™ collars aud caffs are one of the greatest blessings that was ever ' brov~ht to mankind by the genii of in" ation, especially the man whose ] ¢ ,apation demands that he wear his' Sunday clothes every day, as Bill Nye puts it. A daily ehange of linen runs! into a considerable laundry bill in the course of & year. ‘“‘Celluloid” makes it possible to add this item to the year’s savings. Many men when buying waterproof collars and cuffs make the mistake of believing that it’s all the same so long as they are called | “celluloid.” This is a grievous errox. The genuine *‘‘Celluloid” collars and cuffs are peculiarly made, being in reality a linen collar or c¢uff covered on both sides with pure waterproof ‘‘cellploid.” This prevents cracking, and Snereases the durability of the article, ‘ ‘When soiled, it can be wiped off with a danmp cloth and made to look equally as well as the most skillfully laandried linen. All dissatisfaction with ‘‘celluloid” collars and cuffs can be avoided by looking for the trade ( mark, “Celluloid” stamped on the inside of every piece.
