WOODMEN CELEBRATE. Thirty-Six New Members Initiated Ban quct Served by Royal Neighbors From The Press. The local camp of the Modern Wood weu 01 America nas oeen enjoying boom of late, fifty-four applications for membership having been made in the past three weeks. Deputy Grand Coun sclor Thomas, of Grand Rapids, who has been working in the interests of this ben evolent organization in Owosso of late Is largely responsible for the new life that is being instilled into the local camp by way of membership, made up of some ' nf nrnun'a Hoof iti-ana The fraternity of Modern Woodmen of America was founded in 18S3, and owing to the many attractive features of its plan of insurance it has enjoyed a steady growth until today there are in the United States 5183 camps, with a total member ship of 244,403. The total benefits dis bursed since its organization has reached V the enormous Bum of $5,110,135, and dur ing last year alone $1,104,500 was paid to the widows and orphans of deceased members. The Woodmen plan of insurance differs from the other freternal insurance socie ties inasmuch as they restrict their field of operation to the country and smaller cities, and those engaged in hazardous i i i i - i n i. employment are sincuy uarruu, a met mat reduces the death rate to a minimum. The local camp made extensive ar rangements for the reception of the many applicants for membership who were to be initiated last evening. Many repre sentatives Irora bt. Jouns camp were present and the Lansing camp was invit ed to do the work. Thirty-six of the fifty-four applicants appeared for initiation promptly at o'clock last evening, and were takon in hand by the Lansing team, who kept them interested until near midnight, when the doors of the lodge room were unbarred and seats made vacant for near ly one hundred Royal Neighbors, who were in waiting in the reception and ban quet rooms. . iuo uieeuu;: was lunitu over ui una , point to the ladies, who furnished an ex cellent musical and literarv nrocriim. Mrs. Milo B,:tt in a few appropriate re marks extended a hearty welcome to the visiting Woodmen and also to. those who of the order. The O'Dell sistirs, two very bright and entertaining little ladies, fav ored the audience with a song, and each responded to an encore with a recitation. Little Alta Dennison followed with a recitation that was heartily applauded as was also Miss Edith Kousch, who was the youngest of the entertainers. Mrs. Miles Crawford read a verv armronriate Pfilne- tion that told of the liannv! termination i of the courtship of a widower and a wid ow who had received benefits, from the Woodmen and the Royal Arcanum. The Lansing team in full Woodmen uniform then entered the room and gave a fine exhibition of their proficiency in drill, and in response to the hearty ap plause accorded them, they brought out the Woodmen goat, placed a candidate thereon and gave a public exhibition of how it was done, a seance that was thor oughly enjoyed by all present. Owing to the fact that the crowd was much too largo for the accommodations afforded in the banquet hall, it was thought best to do the toasting on empty stomachs, and accordingly Dr. A. Moses Hume was called to the chair to act as toastmaster. The doctor opened his re marks with a glowing tribute to the Roy al Neighbors and was showering compli ments on the ladies in his usual reckless manner when ho chanced to spy Mrs. Uume who had entered unobserved and taken a seat in the back part of the room. Immediately the toastmaster changed his tactics, became visibly confused, and after referring to himself several times as a retired farmer he called W. E. Bullard out of the crowd to respond to the toast, "Seasoned timber." Mr. Bullard responded in that happy manner which indicated that he was quite as much at home speech making as when he is holding the "slack" in the back of a coat while he calls the atten tion of his customer t6 the perfect (?) fit in front. He told of how the local camp was organized some nine years ago, and what a struggle thev had made for exis tence. Time was when they had no , lodge room of their own, but met in some store or the office of a Woodman, and from the lack of a candidate to initiate they were obliged to listen to Hume's stories as their only amns.ment. They were never disheartened, however, and now had the supremo satisfaction of see ing the camp in a flourishing condition. . There was a merry twinkle in the toast master's eye when he arose to tell how when a boy on t o farm he assisted in building a lye l.-arh and when it was completed how they filled it with the ashes of creen wood in order to obtain the very best lye with which to manu facture a good quality of eoft soap. They had some green timber present, a stick of which was represented in the person of Frank F. Bumps, who had just been ini tiated, and he would call upon him to answer to that sentiment. Neighbor Bumps allowed that green wood might poBsibly make good ashes but it was not calculated to hurry eupper witn. now ever, the seasoned timber did not possess all the beauty and attractiveness and it was ofttimes faulty. Who had not seen and admired tho sturdy oak, the monarch of the forest, as it rears its mighty trunk heavenward, to be crowned with huge limbs and branches covered with a dense foliage, and as you stood and gazed in wonder and admiration how disappoint ed you were to discover that it was dead at the top. As the green sapling bowed to the mighty oak bereft of its top foliage, bo he bowed homage to the venerable neighbor Hume. Mr. Bumps kept the audience in good humor for several minutes, and in closing assured them that he was glad that he was one of them and sincerely hoped that ho might always be consider ed by them as being worthy of all the term neighbor implies. It was time for the toastmaster to be come sentimental again, and after quot ing a pretty little chestnut which he used years ago before he was married, relative to the manner in which the vine clung to the sturdy oak, he called upon Editor Geo.T.Campbell to toast the "woodbine.1 'Twas a happy selection since Neighbor Campbell was seated where ho could get a good view of the banquet tables ladened with a supply of good things provided by the ladies, and it was no wonder that the speaker was profuse in his compliments He even went so far as to say that were it not for his extreme modesty he would be inclined to embrace every "vine present. After a few remarks by visiting neigh bors Plummer and Reynolds, of Ionia, the meeting adjourned to the banquet hall where nearly three hundred guests were served with a spread such as 1 only the Royal Neighbors can serve. The dining room and tables were handsomely decor ated with flowers and vines for the occa sion, and the menu was so elaborate that tho hour of 3 o'clock had arrived before the last good night was said. The local camp is in a flourishing con dition with 135 members and new appli cations constantly coming in. The following are the officers of the Owosso camp: Venerable Counselor John Flemming, Advisor G. Gregg. Clerk Thomas Kirwin. Banker Chas. Bailey. Escort -E. II. O'Dell. Watchman Christopher Kousch.

Indigestion is often taken for consump tion. The word consumption means wast ing away, and dyspeptics often wast away as badly as consumptives. Tbe reason people waste away Is because either they don't get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat. If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh. Shaker digestive Cordial Is made from herbs, and barks and the juices of fruit, by tbe well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stom achs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug gish and the need of a tonic and alterative Is felt.
