We publish elSeH here communication
written by a lady of Il Somerset town
wherein she regrets the desecration of
the one day that should be devoted to
the deeo ration of the graves of those
who died in the service of their country,
or of those who served their country in
the time when its life was at stake and
have since died, and suggests that the
newspapers of the country unite in
speaking out in condemnation of the
playing of games of ball, wheel meets
and horse racing upon that day, or the
enactment of laws forbidding it. Our
correspondent may not be aware that
the REPORTER and many other papers
have for years opposed the practice, but
there are papers that can see no dese
Grafton in using the day for purposes of
amusement Papers as well as persons
are divided on this issue but we believe
the day is growing in the estimation of
thoughtful people and is year by year
being regarded with greater and greater
favor as the one day of the year devoted
to the memory of the dead, not only to
the memory of the dead soldier but also
to that of friends who have passed to
the spirit world. There is no day of all
the year so generally observed in large
part of our country as Memorial day.
1t is credit to our country that it is so
and we rejoice over it. May the rever-
ence for the day be deepened as the years
roll around.

iHIith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi'
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo Of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
iii important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
