DECORATION DAY.

It is the beautiful May. Dear comrades
we meet
To cover their graves with bright flowers
and sweet,
The graves of our dead, whom we loved
so we'll
Who marched to the front, and for their
country fell.
Strew their graves thickly Ger with
bright flowers of May,
And do not miss one, neither the blue nor
the gray,
Bring violets sweet, and lilies from the
dell
With many bright roses, from the hillside
as well.
They are Gods fragrant emblems, sent
from above,
strew them lovingly Ger, they picture
Gods love.
Plant bright starry flag over each hero's
head,
To mark the last resting place, OF our
noble dead.
Strew each private's grave who carried
gun
And marched weary steps to the beat OF
the drum,
For they suffered the most, their country
to save,
Then cover their graves lovingly, seek
each lonely grave.
For all the brave chieftains, 80 gallant
ard bold
Their graves are we'll marked by tributes
of gold,
While thousands of poor privates, are un-
known to fame
Oh, bring choicest flowers to honor their
name.
Come mothers, and sisters and brothers
make haste
Away to the graves, there's not moment
to waste,
With the wreaths and bright garlands,
come haste away
And be thankful that this is again Decor
alton Day.
But time is fast fleeing, and we too
must all
Ere long hear the sound Of the last bugle
call,
And the task will be left to the old vet
GRAMS son
To finish the work which his father begun.

The Kiss.

A kiss is a peculiar proposition-of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To young girl, faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss of the kiss however, is frequent
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account Of
offensive breath, of one or both of the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale's
Stomach Tablets will soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They 1.-THE Stomach Tablets
not the kiss] are guaranteed by DR..
James X. Waters. Directions: Take two
boxes Rydale's Stomach Tablets and fol-
low up with the kiss as often as conven-
lent

Caring for Mems Clothes.

There is no cleaning fluid that [
have ever had any experience with
that equals gasoline as a clothes clean
er, but it is very explosive and care
should be taken not to use it near a
fire or light. The safest way is to
use it in the open air. To avoid the un-
slightly circle that often appears when
a grease spot has been removed the
cloth should be rubbed lengthwise and
with the weave, and the rubbing should
fectly dry. Honey, molasses or any
rubbing with slightly diluted alcohol.
A coat, vest or pair of pants that are
not much soiled, will come out Of
good gasoline bath looking almost like
new. First, brush and shake the gar
ment until it seems perfectly free Of
dust; then remove the spots and put
the garment in a bucket and pour
enough gasoline over it to saturate
it thoroughly, then cover the bucket
to keep the fluid from evaporating,
and leave it for two hours. Press and
squeeze as much of the fluid out as
possible, then hang the garment over
the line, and it will need no ironing
When a garment is much soiled, the
best way to get it clean again is to
remove the spots and wash the gar
ment through strung suds to which
tablespoonful Of borax has been add
ed, and a little OF the borax should
be added to the rinsing water, as it
will not only soften the water, but
will brighten the color of the goods.
The buttons should be removed and
the buttonholes basted together be-
fore washing, and if the sleeves and
pants legs are worn around the edges,
rip out the hens and turn them up
far enough to conceal the worn part,
and run skirt braid on the underneath
side, and the garment will look much
nicer when finished

When the kidneys do not act as
freely as they should, drink cup of
hot water just before each meal, and
if necessary take one, two or three

If you have dull headache from

Common table salt is a great aid in

left perfectly clean. The salt should
be thoroughly brushed out of the car

Helpful Hints.

Overeating, overheated and insult
hciently ventilated rooms, and lack Of
exercise in the open air is very pro-
ductive of colds.
If only people could be induced to
leave off supper, drink an abundance
of hot water on retiring and again
before breakfast the manufacturers Of
sure cures for la grippe and colds
would be forced to go out of business.
I speak from personal experience
of the effectiveness Of hot water, and
plenty of it instead of drugs.

breakfast will soon make you feel like

no appetite.

To Paper Old Walls.

Rooms whose walls have been white
washed or kalsomined present a diff

''kill' the lime SO that the paper will
stick. [ have learned a much better
way that was proved perfectly salts

paste with vinegar instead of water,

A Girls Responsibility.

Girls, do you know that it is your
duty to make your men friends regard
YOU as the best, purest, and sweetest
girls in the world.
Man sets a high standard for wo-
man, and she must live up to it if she
wishes to WELD a good influence over
him.
You must make the man who is at
tentive to you realize that you respect
yourself and that you demand that he
respect you also.
Make him understand that he can
not treat you with familiarity; that
he can not be friend of yours if he
is vulgar in word or deed, nor if he
is Incorporate.
If he loves you and sees that you
expect all this he will try to be worthy
Of you.
But you must never lower his ideal
Of you or you will Immediately lose
your influence over him.
If you drink cocktail you can not
expect him to refrain. If you laugh
at vulgar stories you can not expect
that he will refrain from repeating
them in your presence.
Let him see the high value that you
place upon honor, and never sWerve
one inch from your standard.
Do not, of course, expect him to
be demigod, for no man is that; but
do demand that he be an honorable,
temperate, manly man.
Don't nag. The nagging girl never
has any lasting influence over a man,
but keep steadily to your ideal of what
a good man should be-
Forgive him if he occasionally has
lapses, but on no account promise to
marry him until you are quite sure
that he is the kind Of man that you
would be proud of as your husband
and the father of your children.
The girl who marries man to re-
form him, deliberately enters upon a
life of misery and failure.
The man who enjoys the friendship
of a nice girl should be deeply ap-
preciative Of the privilege.
II he takes her to places of amuse-
ment, those places should be absolute
1y above suspicion He should see
that she reaches home in proper time,
and he should never introduce her
to any man or woman of whose good
reputation he is not quite sure.
Now, you see, girls, for man to
treat you in that way it is necessary
that he should look on you as some
thing very pure and precious.
Never encourage a man to speak to
you unless he has been properly intro
duced.
You cannot expect man to have
as much respect for the girl who makes
eyes at him and allows him to speak
to her without introduction as he would
for the girl whom he had to ask to be
introduced to.
Of course, I know that once in a
while friendship formed in that way
will turn out all right, but it is a great
risk and not at all the right way Of
doing things.
Be digni6ed and modest, and you
will find that the average man will
treat you with respect, and that he
will be anxious to stand we'll in your
eyes.
He will know that if he wants to
win your regard he must live up to
your standard of what man should
be-
Tt is your duty to make that STAN
dard a high one.-Beatrice Fairfax,
