TO whose interest 1t is to make their activities
occupy as large place as possible in the public
eye At Memorial day, the other hand, the
regular flower marts, although they have rush
season In consequence of the holiday supply
but fraction of the flowers that are placed on
the graves of the nations warriors
The vast preponderance of the flowers that are
used to express the love and gratitude of the
people OF the republic the yearly-recurring
Memorial day are homegrown posies whose Gull
tlvation with a view to such ultimate is as
much a labor of love as is the strewing of the
blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers
are for the most part garden blooms rather than
the frail products of the hot houses. Indeed the
selection of May 80 as Memorial day in a large
proportion of the states of the union was made
primarily because 1t occasion when spring
was presumed to be in her most attractive garb
and when the spring floral harvest is at it's
height. Similarly the southern states, being as
sured abundance of flowers at yet earlier
dates, have, much for this reason as for any
other, chosen Memorial day dates that seemed
to mark the elimination of the floral flood in
their respective states rather than strict con-
formity with the date at the end of May, which
is so universally observed in the eastern, north
ern and western states and in the more northerly
of the commemorative of Dixie. This will ex-
plain why certain of the states notably those
OF the Gulf of Mexico observe Memorial day
days or weeks in advance of the remainder OF
the sisterhood of states.
The use of flowers Memorial day is varied
and appears to be growing more so as time goes
on. At first suggestion of the occasion the
reader is apt to think only of the custom Of pac.
Ing bouquets and wreaths in garlands on the
grassy mounds beneath which repose in their
last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray
who gave up their lives in defense of their flag
But as a matter of fact it is a long-established
custom for the American people generally to
choose this occasion to place specially elaborate
decorations upon the graves of loved ones even
though those whose memory is thus honored had
naught to do with the stress and strife the
sacrifices of which Memorial day is primarily
intended to commemorate
One of the comparatively uses of flowers
on Memorial day, which has grown greatly in
recent years, is the custom of placing wreaths
of floral festoons other similar tributes upon
the statues which have been erected in the
various American cities to wartime heroes
At the national capital, where there are more
than two dozen such statues, the pedestals are
also draped with American flags This decora-
ton of the statues in parks and public buildings
throughout the land u.s. of course quite aside
from the usual placing of tributes at the graves
of these se'f-same heroes. Another interesting

and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment
Of the occasion is served
AS death has year by year remorselessy
thinned the ranks of the Grand Army OF the
Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other or
CARNATIONS of one-time soldiers there has of
necessity been change In the plan OF bearing
flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the
graves of those who have answered to the call
of ''taps." The approved plan to havs in
each community the significant day process

Elephants little girls dressed in white, each
carrying huge bouquet or basket of flowers
and, marching beside or behind these flower
bearers, equal number of veterans, each with
a wreath of evergreen or holly or ivy on his
arm When the procession arrived at the GENE
terry the participants distributed themselves
throughout the burying ground until little girl
with flowers and veteran with wreath stood
beside each grave marked with a tiny American
flag. Then at prearranged signal all the flowers
and wreaths placed simultaneously upon the
graves of the comrades whom death has mus
tered out"
This impressive ceremony, and there could be
nothing more appropriate, Is yet followed in
countless communities but there have had to be
many notifications. For one thing the graves
to be decorated have become much more numer-
Gus, whereas the number of surviving veterans
who are able to march to the cemetery with
their wreaths has dwndled appreciably A solu-
ton has been found, in many places, by drafting
for this task members of the Sons of Veterans
or other organizations made up of children Of
old soldiers and also veterans of the Spanish
American war, many of whom comparatively
young men and who sun GENTLY numerous to
decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades
and also the resting places of the heroes of the
earlier wars.
Another factor that has operated to influence
change in the use of flowers Memorial day
is the growth in the size of many of our cities
In towns and small cities it Is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the Gene
terry but in all the larger cities it has become very
much of problem. In many instances cemeteries
remote from the central part of the city
that it is unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt
to march and out of the question to allow flower
girls of tender years to rudge through the streets
for hours at a stretch. Consequently it has be.
customary under such circumstances to
convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries
and there distribute them to those who are to
participate in the decorating program. For this
delivery of flowers the modern motor car has
proven most convenient vehicle and in all our
large cities the morning of Memorial day one

a boon in the collecting of the flowers for

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

When my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. I noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as a coal Of fire. l did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as

sleep for more than week. One

baby was in a terrible condition. 7
used the Cuticura Remedies (soap
and Ointment) four times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite we'll. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. I also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
conti1 to, for it makes lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
