The osteopaths think that TAMMAs

made. A eupeptic TAMMAs would never
have written the actual TAMMAs's

those thirty or forty volumes is the
product OF dyspepsia. and 1t is as a

Hundreds of persons visited the OF.

some for the primary purpose Of dec.
Grating the resting places of loved ones
and others to attend the impressive
services that were held by the G. A.
r., w. R. c., and other patriotic ciu-
zens.
| One OF the features of the after.
Moons program was the presentation
iof beautiful flag to Cloutman post
G. A. R., by the Women's Relief
corps. The flag measures six by eight
feet, and is made of silk. with embroid-
cred stars. 1t will be used by the vet
Grams In future exercises.
Mrs. S. E. Adler, in making the pre-
sentation address, said:
"The Woman's Relief corps for many
years auxiliary to the Grand Army of
the Republic, has been enabled by this
close association to realize more fully
than any other organization the suf-
fering and the hardships endured by
you and your comrades during the
civil war.
Its membership is partially COM
posed of those who watched with tear.
stained faces, and waited with aching
hearts, for the return of loved ones
who went out in the strength of young
manhood, to defend and perpetuate
those principles of liberty so gloriously
established by our forefathers. Thou
sands never returned, and many thou
sands more came back with missing
limbs and enfeebled bodies. The cruel
ravages of war left many homes des.
olate. Wives were made widows, and
children orphans.
Many of the returned heroes fell
sick and died for the want of care
that was denied them, decade after
the war 1t was then that the Won.
ans Relief corps came into existence
and now, with their hearts filled with
gratitude for the services you rendered
our country In her hour of peril, we
come to you, members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, on this Memoir
ial day, to place within your keeping
the emblem you SO nobly served, the
emblem that today floats over ninety
million freedom-loving people; the EN-.
blem, blessed by dying comrades, as
1t passed them by on the battlefield
where they were left to die
When your eyes can no longer be-
hold it, may those to whom you trans
init it, be imbued with the reverence
for the patriots who won it, as you
have been embued. Those valiant
patriots, struggling for freedom, had
no flag to cheer them until army after
army was lost. Dispirited and wretch.

ed when all seemed conquered but the
father-chief, he aroused anew the
sunken spirits Of his associates by say
ing, Strip me of the detected and suf-
fering remnant of my army, take from
me all that l have left, leave me but
banner, give me the means to plant
it on the mountains of West Augusta,
and will yet draw around me the
men, who shall lift up their bleeding
country from the dust and set her free
kindled from heavens own light. and
when their bravery and undying valor
was f1ndly crowned with success, that
day our flag was born.
For four long years, the fate of that
flag was in your hands. You stood face
with mighty foe. Again and again
that flag went down, and each time the
soul of color sergeant was waited in
to the realms of eternity. Battle after
battle was fought until victory was
yours, and in triumph you bore that
flag from the field of blood and car
nagt.
"You made it possible for us to be a
united people, with one flag floating
over all and for that blessing the whole
country reveres you.
1.-THE members of Cloutman Won
ans Relief corps revere you, and as a
token of that reverence present to
you this beautiful flag. May you pos
sess it for many years to come"
T. j. Hall, commander of Cloutman
post, accepted the flag and rendered
the thanks of the post. Mr.. Hall said
that he was sure the flag would still
be preserved after the last member

winner maintained an average speed
II S2.47 miles an hour. The former
record Of hours Fl minutes and 8.
l00ths seconds was established by Joe
Dawson in 1912. The new record
established Saturday was due in a
large measure to the ideal weather
conditions which prevailed.
Arthur Duray finished second seven

Huyot, team mate of Thomas, was the
third driver to be given the checkered
dag and Jules Guox, winner Of the

The PAoo was an exciting one from

sxciting finishes that has ever been
Witnessed ct the Indianapolis course.
George Boillot, in a desperate effort
b overhaul Thomas, pushed his car to-
such excessive speed that in the one
hundredth and forty.seventh lap he
vas forced out when leading the field
because Of a broken frame.
DuYay thrilled the spectators by his
sensational effort to catch Thomas in
the latter part Of the contest and
Goux seemed always to be contender
tor frst place. Thomas made one stop
1t the pits. Duray two and Guyot one.
IN the hrst 100 miles some drivers
stopped on almost every lap. The
race began to settle down after the
100 mile mark was set and the average
speed increased. Thomas drove the
last 100 miles at an average Of more

Several of the bodies of the recov.

was responsible for the disaster.
Captain Anderson claims he had the
right of way and that when he lost

latter's course had been set SO that
the vessels would pass each other
safely. The Storstad's course remain
ed unaltered, the statement alleges
but when the Empress was next seen
she was close at hand and making
considerable Roadway.
