Varijous circumstances account for the prosperity of the Order of Elks during the war. It is purely an Amer- ican institution. membership is limited to white citizens of the United States, and its sutordinate lodges are to be found only on United soil. Recently, when the Salvation Army was entering upon a drive for $13,- 000,000, Grand Exalted Ruler Camp- bell officially directed that all Elks subordinate lodges lend their support to this undertaking. In many cities in which Elks lodges are loanted—near- 1y 1,300 in number—they were among the leaders in the organized effort to put the fund across. Commander Evangeline C. Booth has personally thanked the Elks, through the grand lodge for what thev have done for the alvation Army during the period of the war. “Without the help of the Y4 Elks,” she says, “the ‘Salvation Army PLEASURE CARS< " M.

With this general understanding of the principles and ieadership of the Elks, it 1s easy to understand why the ordér took a leading part in war ac- tivities, and why it is today in actual | exclusive partnership with the United | Stales government in one of the most important and far-reaching undertak- ings ever put into effect in the history of the world—that of vocational train- ing or re-education of di sol- diers, sailors and marines the Great war. The Elk in clusive among sceret fraternal orders —in the fact ate lodge is permitted in each city, which permits the resources of each subordinate lodge to be centralized. The result is that practically every city in the country of over 5000 inhabi- tants has an Elks home or club. During the war hundreds of these homes were given ov or in part for war work activities car- ried on in the community by such or- tions as the Red Cross, the Y. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, the Jewish Welfare and others that had n to appre- ciate the as thus exemplified. Elks War Relief Commission. Farly in the war the Elks became impressed with the unsel- fizh spirit in which the Salvation Army W The re- Salvation Army drives for funds, and the slogan “Elks Raise Dollars for Doughnuts” became countrywide. At the Elks grand lodge session in | | Boston in July, 1917, provision made for the appointment of a special committee to be known as the Elks War Relief commission, which, to- ! gether with the grand exalted ruler, ! | would have charge of the expenditure of whatever moneys were raised by the Elks for war work or war rellef pur- poses. This commission was made up of ex-Governor John K. Tener Penn: vania, JJoseph T. Fanning Pennsylvania, Joseph T. Fanning Indianapolis, Jerome B. Figher Jamestown, N. ¥ Edward Harper ginia, all past grand exalted and Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce Campbell of East $t.

They were oper- ated during thie remainder of the peri- od of the war under the joint name of the Elks and the universities designat- ed, and made wonderful records for efficiency. Vocational Training. The attention of the Elks War Re- lief commission was next directed to an opportunity to aid disabled sol- diers, saiiors and marines by co-oper- ating as a private agency with the fed- erl board for vocational education, in the ygcational training and re-educa- tion pf the wounded war heroes. This work was entirely a new ven- ture. Nothing of the kind had ever before been undertaken following any war, Heretofore disabled soldiers had been granted a pittance of a pen- sion on which they could barely liv and in their old age were put in a soldiers’ home to ponder over the in. gratitude of the country for which tihey had fought. Quite by accident it was discovered by a Belgian gentleman who was car- ing for some wounded soldiers that the men became interested in and that this work stimulated their interest in life and hastened their re- covery, in addition to making them adepis in the of various tools ac- cording to fancy or in conform- ity with their particular physical de- vocational was the start of bled war veteran: DIKTHENTTALCU ‘The pore-cleansing, purifying and sterilizing properties of this wondes~ ful skin soap, using plenty of hot water and soap, best applied with the hands, will prove a revelation to those who use it for the first time. ‘Touch pimples, redness, roughness oritching, if any, with Cuticura Oint- ment before bathing.

It is asserted by those wlo have been iden- tified with it, that no wounded man has yet been found and put in train- ing, no matter what his physical dis- ability, but who has been vocational- ly trained or re-educated so that he has as great or greater earning ca- pacity than before he:was disabled. This pointed the way to making every disabled man independent, self-sup- porting and consequently more self-re- specting than if he were left to shift for himself on a small pension. Elks Help Salvation Army. The signing of the armistice and the ending of active hostilities found the Elks War Relief commission with a coansiderable sum of money on hand. This money had been raised exclu- sively among the membership of the order, a total of $2,000,000 in assess- ments having been authorized, al- though it was not all called. Investi- zation was at once begun, however, for the purpose of determining a sujt. able use to make of the balance on hand, all of which had been given for r relief work. On January 1, last, Chalrman Ten- er, Secretary Fanning and Grand FEx- alted Ruler Campbell, on behalf of the Elks War Relief Commission,’ called of the Salvatien Army in the United States, and presented her with a cer- tified check for $60,000 as a fitting recognition and in appreciation performed and is performing in the name of God and humanity.” In ac- cepting the gift Miss Booth said: “This is not the first time the Be- nevolent and Protective Order of Elks has shown practical sympathy for and Army. But this gift, of such generous proportions, coming to us unsolicited at 2 moment when unprecedented op- impresses us beyond words to express and as the leader of the Salvation say with emphasis that we are pro- foundly grateful and by all means ap- preciative of the very wonderful thing vou have done.” Reclamation Hospital at Boston. Later there was seen the need of a reclamation hospital in this ceun- try to rebuild the disabled heroes who were roturning from the battle frents. The Elks War Relief Commission ttok, matter in hand and built what is d to be the finest hospital of the kind in this ceuntry, on Parker Hill in Boston. It was turned over to the government to be operated, having cost the commission considerably more than $300,000 to construet. Its record has been of the best. The gov- ernment medical staff has ziven it the highest praise, and it has been oper- atd at full capacity ever since the day it was opened on Evangeline C.
