needed for the great memorial ornamentation.
And speaking of the interurban electric lines

der the old conditions, could not readily be

erans and other bodies that aim to see to 1t that
no soldiers grave is unadorned on this significant
occasion.
Almost every known variety OF flowers that
bloon I'm the spring is employed to a greater or
less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the
wild flowers Of the season are especially popular
for this purpose. In the sections where the
season Is sufficiently advanced the roses and
peonies are great favorites on this occasion and
In the cooler climes violets and the hardy pinks
are used extensively. In the more southernly
states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle
make admirable Decoration day festoons and at
Arlington and other great national cemeteries 1t
seems as though Memorial day has been timed
to find the gorgeous purple wstara at the climax
of its glory The mountain laurel is another
floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes
of the holiday. but of course 1t Is not obtainable
in all sections of the country.
In recent years the use of natural flowers on
Memorial day has been supplemented by the eX-
tensive use OF artificial flowers, particularly in
the form of wreaths designs emblematic OF
wartime badges flags However, the art
flower designs" Of the present day are indeed
q revelation as compared with the crude attempts
OF some years Ggo Some Of the Decoration day
designs are executed in metal, tinted to counter
felt nature and this form is OF course very
permanent, but most artistic effects OF lasting
character also being obtained by means OF
fine waxed crepe paper flowers Such designs
are being employed to an increasing extent un-
der all circumstances where 1t is necessary to
send Memorial day designs long distances. How
ever the White House at Washington, which
sends such remembrances to various parts OF
the country, always employs natural flowers from
the presidents conservatores.

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
ganizatons of one-time soldiers there has OF
necessity been a 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 was to have in
each community on the significant day a process
sion to the cemetery In which the principal par.
Elephants were little girls dressed in white, each
carrying huge bouquet or basket of flowers
and, marching beside 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 ceme
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 were 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 are comparatively
young men and who sufficiently numerous to
decorate the graves of their 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 on Memorial day
Is the growth In the size Of many of our cities.
In towns and small cities II is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the ceme-
terry, but in all the larger cities It has become very
much or problem. In many instances cemeteries
are so remote from the central part of the city
that 1t Is unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt
to march and out of the question TO allow flower
girls OF tender to trudge through the streets
Tor hours at stretch Consequently It has be.
come 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 on the morning of Memorial day one
may now see the heavily laden "nower cars"
spinning along on their way TO the ce meteries
The speedy horseless vehicles have also proven
boon In the collecting Of the flowers for

The vast preponderance of the flowers that are
used TO express the love and gratitude of the
people of the republic on the yearly.recurring
Memorial day are homegrown poses whose cul
uVation with Wow to such ultimate use is as
much labor of love is the strewng 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
selecuon OF May 30 as Memorial day in large
proportion OF the states Of the union was made
primarily because 1t was an occasion when spring
was presumed to be In her most attractive garb
and when the spring floral harvest is at its
height. Similarly the southern states, being as
sured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier
dates. have, as much for this reason as for any
other, chosen as 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
Ia so universally observed in the eastern north
ern and western states and in the more northerly
OF the commonwealths 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 30 as time goes
on. AT first suggestion of the occasion the
reader Is apt to think only OF the custom OF plac.
Ing bouquets and wreaths in garands 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 new of flowers
on Memorial day, which has grown greatly in
recent years, is the custom of placing wreaths
of floral festoons or 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-
tion OF the statues in parks and public buildings
throughout the land Is, of course, quite aside
from the usual placing OF tributes at the graves
of these self-same heroes. Another interesting

covered with untold numbers Of
smooth boulders, both spherical and

strange and unusual appearance to

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
ell other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have q clear
complexion or enjoy good health. IL

purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
it, they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishmcnt from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
