wearing they will retain their freshness
much longer than usual When they
do get to the point where further
brushing is useless rub them long and

OLD VETERANS IN
A REUNION TO-DAY
Members Of the Gallant
"Thirty-sixth' Recalled
Stirring Times.

Surviving members of the 36th In
diana Infantry gathered in the Wayne
circuit court room Friday for their
twenty-fifth annual reunion. The at
tendance was the best in years, it be-
ing estimated that approximately 100
veterans were present. The bad
weather apparently had no effect. The
increasing infirmities of old age were
noticeable but the old spirit and
hearty good fellowship were still the
same, and pleasure was written ON the
faces of the old men as they mingled
with each other, talking over the in
cidents of days gone by.
The morning was devoted entirely to
registration of the members. AS each
one registered he was provided with
a silken yellow badge. A number OF
the veterans were accompanied by
their wives.
AT noon a splendid luncheon was
served by the Women's Relief corps
in the post rooms. The room was
decorated with flowers and the nation
al colors.
The business session was opened at
o'clock in the afternoon and the Gus
tomary routine work done. The cleo
ton of officers was the last business
to engage the attention of the veter-
ans. Following the business session
a camp fire meeting was held. 1t was
opened by Judge Daniel COmstock de-
livering an address of welcome. Num-
erous impromptu talks were made.
The meeting was adjourned at about
IS O'Clock and supper was served by
the Women's Relief Corps All in all
it was one of the most successful
meetings ever held.
The registration book showed the
following veterans in attendance:
