cemetery. members Of the home stood
with uncovered heads while little
white-gowned girls strewed flowers on
each grave. A boy went with each girl
and carried the srmload of boquets for
each tier Of graves. Marching back to
the band stand, exercises appropriate
to the occasion were held there, the
Rev Chss. Holler of the Bsptis t

was done by the Sanitarium FIRE de

the flames we're all out. Considerable
difficulty WAS experienced in getting
the fire extinguished between the cell
ing and the roof as it was extremely
dangerous for men to reach that part
of the building. The roof and upper
part of the building were damaged to
quite little extent, but work of recon
structing the damaged parts began al
once. Thanks are due to the down
town fire departments who came to the
