WOMEN WHO EAT STARCH.
One May Become a Starch Fiend' l.
It's Continual Use.

The other day a Raleigh grocer callcl
the attenticIi of News and Observer
man TO the fact that many lathes are
accustomed to purchase from him from
time to time very small quantities of
starch for the purpose of eatin-s 1t. Sur
prise was expressed at this by these who
heard the statement, but the grocer de-
clared that what he stated was Il fact
and that what was his experience in this
respect was the experience of every other
grocer in the city and had been for many
years.
That the grocer spoke truly and that
there are such things as starch fiends'
among women is shown by the following
from the Savannah News of recent
date:

Memorial Day Generally Recognized
an . National Holiday.
In 85 out of the 45 states Of the Un-
ion May 80 is legally recognized as
Memorial day. Everywhere the day is
practically considered legal holiday,
but only In the number of states mem
toned is 1t so by law. Most persons con-
slider it as what is known as national
holiday. Surprising as the fact may
seem, there is no such thing as ma
tional holiday. There is no provision in
the constitution of the United States
that permits such thing. Congress has
from time to time recognized certain
special days for business purposes, but
not even the presidents proclamation
Of Thanksgiving day makes it legal
holiday in any state unless the legisla-
ture Of that state has 90 signified by
legal action.
1t needs no presidents proclamation,
no legislative action, to make the Unit
ed States observe Memorial day. The
descendants Of the S,77s, 804 soldiers
who constituted the Federal armies
which fought from 1851 to 1855 need
no reminder to perform what they con-
slider sacred duty. The $40, $40 MEM
bers of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie who followed the fate of the stars
and stripes, some Of them from Fort
Sumter to Appomattox, do not require
admonition to honor their comrades
whom wounds or disease have taken
