During the month of June Golden West Council admftted flve strangers to mem- bership, and the council still has several applications to act upon. The ‘“smoke talk” given by this council in the latter part of June was a very enjoyable affair. Orator Butterfield presided as master of | ceremontes and proved very efficient In that position. There was a good pro- amme of entertainment, with numbers of the vaudeville order, which were well rendered and received with hearty ap- plause. There were addresses by well- known members of the order, including Grand Regent Gus Gunzendorfer. , At the last held r ng of Buena Vista Council two candidates for membership i were elected and will be Initlated at the next -meeting. In the absence of the orator George L. Darling filled the sta- tion, and he was voted “‘a great success.” There were a nynber of visitors present. This council is rapidly approaching the 100 mark in membership. Accompanied by several of the most active members of the order, Grand Re- gent Gunzendorfer visited San Jose Coun- cil July 8 and was received with a cor- | dial welcome. There was an exemplifica- tion of the work and addresses after that by the visitors. This council added sev- eral members to its roll during the past month. The grand regent will pay an official visit July 14 to Vallejo Council. He will be accompanied by several members of the order. The grand regent is arranging for a tour of visitations to the councils in the southern part of the State. He wilt be absent about thirty days during such visitations.

Mrs. Elizabeth Virginia Gould, the worthy matron, is winning distinction as a presiding officer | and is most ably assisted by Worthy | Patron Beadle, who is ar expert in su- perintending the navigation of seagoing crafts. The chapter upholds the force of its name, for it maintains perfect har- mony among its members, all of whom are enthuslastically doing their best to maintain the reputation of the chapter for the most enjoyable kind of soclability. Quite 2 number of the Eastern Starites are spending their vacation in the Yosem- ite Valley. They endeavored to but failed to secure the personal attendance of John Tonningsen, the prospective grand patron, as their official guide, he having recently returned from there, but they were so well posted by him before they left that they will not get lost in the labyrinth of the wonderland of California nor miss any of the beautles thereof. Olive Branch Chapter will receive a visit from the grand matron and the grand patron at a special meeting to- morrow and extensive preparations have been made for the reception of officials and all members of the order.

The Workmen. AGNOLIA LODGE No. 41, Ancient M Order United Workmen, will cel- ebrate the silver anniversary of its institution by an entertainment and dance in Golden Gate Hall on the evening of July 4. The programme will be start- ed at 8:15 o'clock and dancing will com- mence at 10. 2 On Monday, July 6, the Past Masters’ Association held a meeting in the Shiels building, when those present were ad- dressed by Deputy Grand Master Hirsh- berg and Grand Organizer Freeman, who were representatives to the Supreme Lodge. The talks were on the subject of the change of rates. There were some who understood the speakers and many more who were at a loss to master the intricacies of the new plan of assessments and it was evident that it will require a rumber of explanations by those who as- sert that they are familiar with the new rates to educate the membership of the order in the new conditions. Last Wednesday night the grand organ- izer held a meeting with his speclal depu- ties to educate them in the new plan and next week the deputy grand master will tell the local district deputies what he knows of the new plan, so they may tell the lodges In their respective districts what bas been told them. It is evident that the membership at large will not fully appreciate the new plan until it is presented In print. THe grand organizer paid a visit last Tuesday night to the lolige in Ocean View and delivered an address on that which most affects the members at this time— the new rates. The same evening there was a meeting of the members of Alta Lodge and the Past Masters’ Association, at which the new rates were discussed. Grand Organizer Freeman states that since the first of the current year there has been a gain in membership every month.

They are in most cases either for treatmend or for an operation, made necessary by advanced stages of female troubles which have resulted in ovaritis, a tumor, or displacement of the womb. “AN OPERATION NECESSARY.” How these words after the examination strike terror to a woman’s soul, and with what regrets she thears them, when she considers that the operation has become necessary through her own neglect. Female derangements cannot cure themselves, and neglecting the warnings of nature only means putting it off until the: no cure. The woman who lets her trouble make headway pays the penalty of a dangerous opera- tionfand a lifetime of impaired usefulness at the best, and the operation often proves fatal when her lifs might have been saved by Lydia E.
