B. P. O. E. Carnival Crowd Sees Pageant of Elks In a blaze of color and light, in a riot of music, laughter, merri ment and pleasure-making, to which was added true carnival spirit, the Elks’ Harvest Festival opened last night at the Shriners’ Auditorium on Jefferson street. Five thousand persons made of the magnificent spectacle a tre mendous success and reveled un til midnight to the tuneful clink of flowing dimes and dollars which will make up the fund for the entertainment of the Elks’ national convention in this city next June. Within the monstrous audi torium the scene was the most magnificent and spectacular ever presented on the Pacific Coast. The attendance was beyond the fondest hopes of the management. If the first night may be taken as a criterion the financial end will be more than satisfactory. Long before the appointed hour for the opening of the festival the great auditorium was filled. As one entered the great doors the eye met a wondrous blaze of col or. There was color everywhere and of every tint. In striking riot overhead were thousands of flags, pennants and festoons which formed a veritable canopy. Red, white and blue predomina ted, but interspersed were the emblematic banners in purple and white of the Elks, and then ranging the entire gamut of color harmony. And in the coloring of the doz ens of booths ranged along the sides of the coliseum on both the main floor and the balcony, not a tint seemed to have escaped the decorators and designers. Such was the harmony that there was not a point which jarred on the sense. Gives Women Credit. In a tew words Motley H. Flint, chairman of the executive com mittee, welcomed the guests.and gave credit for the great success of the festival to the woman who occupied the booths. Following a short musical program the White Squadron Drill Corps of the Los Angeles Elks lodge performed a wonder fully intricate drill, bringing cheer after cheer for their puzzling formations. Then the festival began in earn est. From booth to booth passed the great throng. At every turn one came upon a gypsy or a Japanese, or a Spaniard, or a grocery clerk, or an auctioneer with tickets for raffles. One might take a chance of winning almost anything from an auto mobile, carriage or costly ostrich feather, down to a sofa pillow or roll of garden hose. Almost even' conceivable object was of-1 sered, and always with a chance for anyone to win it; it is all aj lottery. —Los Angeles Exminer. Territorial Convention. A meeting of delegates from the various lodges of Elks’in Arizona was held at Phonix commencing Thursday, Nov. 12, Lloyd C. Henning representing Winslow Lodge No. 536. The object of this meeting is to make all nec ■ cessary arrangements for the attendance of Arizona Elks at the Grand Lodge and Reunion at Los Angeles in July, 1909.

If you lose sleep, your system is robbed of the strength sleep should give. Continued loss of sleep multiplies this loss until you become a phys ical wreck. Dr. Miles’ Nervine quiets the irri tated nerves and brings refreshing, invigorating sleep. Nervine contains no opiates, and therefor leaves no bad after-effects. “For over two years I suffered un told agonies; my friends thought I was going crazy. I could not sleep nor rest at all. I tried different doc tors. but failed to find relief. My head would ache all the time; I was like one drunk; could not concentrate my mind, and was so restless and worried that sleep was out of the question. After taking one bottle of Dr. Milos’ Nervine I felt wonderfully changed. I am now on my third bot tle and am gaining all the time. I can lie down and sleep like a child, and am able to do my work.’’ MRS. MAY SCOTT, English, Ind. Your druggist sells Dr. Miles’ Nerv ine, and we authorize him to return price of first bottle (only) if it fails to benefit you. Miles Medical Co.. Elkhart, Ind %
