TO OBSERVE DECORATION
DAY IN QUIET MANNER
VETERANS OBJECT TO AMusE-
MENTs BEING HELD
g. A. r. Posts Adopt Resolutions Call
ing on Citizens to Refrain from
Participating In Athletic
Exercises

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA. Feb. 29.--If the moral
persuasion of the old soldiers of the
Grand Army post and the veterans Of
the Epanish-American war will have
the desired effect Decoration day will
be observed in a quiet way In Pasa-
dena.
Both organizations have adopted
stirring resolutions calling on all good
citizens to refrain from participating
in athletic exercises or any entertain
ment out of doors or otherwise that
will tend to desecrate the soSemnity of
the memorial services for which the
day is intended.
While it Is customary for many citi-
zens to participate In the memorial ex-
ercises hundreds usually indulge In
various amusements that are usually
provided on May 30, because the day Is
a holiday. While there are no laws
to prevent people from doing as they
please. old soldiers believe that an ap-
peal to the better nature of public
spirited citizens will cause them to
consecrate rather than desecrate the
occasion.
Finding no other way to reach the
desired end the people are appealed to
through resolutions which are to be dis
tributed to the public.
people are gradually drifting away
from the idea for which Decoration
day was originally intended" said
Commander q. M. Burlingame of John
II. Godfrey G.. A. r. post today "By
beginning early we hope this year to
educate the public to better under
standing of the purpose of the holiday.
The post Will observe the usual custom
of strewing the graves of cofnrsHles
with flowers and 1t is probable that the
program of exercises will be prepared
by the younger veterans of the Spanish
war and the Sons of Veterans. We do
hope that all public demonstration OUT
side of the memorial features will be
eliminated on that day."

mother of seven children, Mrs. Letitia
Arbuckle finds herself divorced from
her wealthy husband, Frank Arbuckle,
a contractor of Avalon, and forbidden
to marry her neighbor, George w.
Lashley, also a wealthy contractor. AS
Lashley is married and his wife re-
fuses to believe anything against him,
whether it appears on court record or

Lashley demanding $4,000 damages for
the alienation of Mrs. Arbuckle's afrec-

Fat Is an Offense

"The female form being capable of
expressing supreme degree of grace,
should be an inspiration in our daily
lives and lead up to higher ideals of
beauty" said the art lecturer "There-
fore the fat woman is an enemy to the
artistic uplift, for she is entirely too
heavy for any wings OF fancy to raise.
''I can't understand how any woman
will remain fat when it is so easy to
reduce ones flesh. In the Latin quar-
ter of Paris one never sees q gross
figure. Although the art models take
things easy, sit around q great deal
and eat just whatever they please, yet
they keep their flesh firm and their
figures beautiful. They have a simple
fat reducer that takes the place of
starving and gymnastics. 1t consists
of teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime OF this simIie receipt: II ounce
Marmola. " ounce Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic, and 8h ounces Syrup
Simplex. That's all. Why don't fat
pudgy American women try that? It's
harmIess-nay. very good for them
and will, I understand, take off as
much as a pound Of fat a day. Any
one with a little small change and a
drug store handy can have a decent
figure"
