Without being either inhuman

enquire II there is any real philan-
throng in counting men by the
head ss we do cattle and sheep,
without considering m oral and in

is no comparison to be made be.
tween the loss, by units, of the
men of the orient and those Of the

that the deaths in that far east Of
untold thousands is as great cal
amity as the deaths of the same

DECORATION DAY.

This day, 30 generally observer
through the United States as COM
memorative of the dead soldiers OF
the republic, was Of southern
origin, being informally instituted
by them during the progress Of the
late war between the states and at
its close had become general among
them. Upon the institution Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, thir.
| ty years ago last month, at De-
catur, Illinois, the decoration Of
the graves Of the dead soldiers OF
that first post was duly observed.
Soon the institution Of new Grand
Army posts followed and the
decorations of the graves of
their dead comrades followed,
until in two years the habit had
become fixed and the adop.
ton of the day observed at the
south accepted. For the past
twenty-eight years there has been
no diminution in the respect and
floral offerings that mark this
"Memorial Day" and on the recur-
renee of the day the graves of all
who sleep in patriot graves are
thus remember 3d and marked. As
the years have covered with their
hands OF kindly healing the hurt
of the nation and the bitterness of
that fractricidal strife has died out.
there has been mutual Offering OF
tribute to the memory OF our
dead. The "Blue and
Gray" mingle their tears and
their offerings on the graves OF
both armies and the anger Of both
is banished forever in 80 kindly
tribute to the valor of each. Thus |
it is today that the graves Of
northern and southern soldiers
alike are covered with the sweet |
blooms and the everlasting
wreaths that express the national
devotion to the memories Of those |
who gave life for that which they |
held dear. Out of that one valor |
has been woven a web of united
national feeling that no sectional
strife can ever tear apart, and
around the graves OF Blue and
Gray we swear year by year a
new devotion to those princi-
pies of national unity that for
! time trembled In the balance,
put which in the rich warm heart
blood of the best and bravest Of |
,ur sons has been cemented be.
yond the power Of any section to
discover. Long live the Republic
s the national watch word Of both |
the Blue and the Gray, as this |
May day they gather
around the graves of their COM
rades to pay their offerings of tears
Ind blooms. Upon all hearts who
still mourn for the loved ones
whose blood was the priceless leg
acy Of their devotion to country,
may the All Healer's hand drop |
mercifully, and through their tears
may they today see the grander
life for the Nation that was pur-
chased by that precious blood
whose spilling they mourn, and
80 seeing may they feel that these
lives were not given in vain, and
be at peace.

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
% completely as rheumatism-that de-
plorable condition Of the blood which
20 often renders the strongest man az
helpless a. a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is q deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
1t. Most Of the so-called blood reme-
dies are at best only tonics and cam
mot reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One Of the most frequent symptoms Of
rheumatism is tingling sensation Of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack Of free circulation
Of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble Is al
ways eliminated by the use Of s. s. S.;
1t Trims the blood, gives It free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, a prominent
and influential citizen Of West Point,
Va, writes Of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago was great
sufferer from rheumatism. I was
