Preservation Of soldiers Graves.

here are congratulsting themselves on their
new grave decorator, which seems TO al tha
case exactly. Under the old flag system they
noticed that grave after grave slipped from shsir
list year by year and was lost. But they now
believe that the problem of the preservation OF
the situation of GAR. graves is solved, az far
as they are concerned, by the use Of a dur
able and at the same time artistic emblem, By
means of which the res5iug-plaees Of orr vet
