ARE THE VETERANS FORGOT
TI'No

II has long been remarked that the
exercises of the national Memorial
Day, May 80, do not attract anything
like the interest that used TO be mani
tested in them Twenty years ago
prominent citizens all through the
Northern states used TO attend these
functions in large numbers. There
was able oratory and the enthusiasm
OF a big crowd IL is a matter of keen
regret to the remnant OF veterans left
to-day, that il is so difficult TO get half
as good turnout to-day.
Various eXpedients have been tried
to make these observances more popu-
lar. They have been held Sundays and
and in the evening. instead of on the
holiday. Some such change may draw
a crowd for once. But the American
people are eager for q holiday. They
flock to the ball grounds and the auto
mobile road. The eloquence of patri-
otic speakers resounds in more or less
empty halls.
All which leaves in the minds of the
Civil war veteran the feeling that he
is merely a forgotten relic of a day
that has gone by. While he has been
trying to keep alive the memories of
the heroisms of the war, the world
current seems to have slipped by and
left him stranded in a forgotten past.
OF course ii would be better If the
American people would give a more
respectful attention to serious obser-
vances Still one must take them as
they are. They may leave the vet
Grams alone with their memories at
the burial ground. But that the old
soldiers are not forgotten is suggested
by the fact that this country has al
ways maintained pension system OF
generosity that has been unheard of
in other lands.
You can get out hundred people
TO agitate for some future benefit,
where you could not get ten TO cele-
brate an event OF history That is
our American temperament 1t is ir-
reverent to the past But IL is part
OF the restless energy OF our land. al
ways forging ahead, giving perhaps
too little thought to the deeds and
struggles of the past.

BE KIND TO ANIMALS

Last week throughout the country
the American Humane association car
ried on a special campaign to awaken
the people To a sense of their duty
toward dumb beasts.
The slogan was BE Kind TO AMI
mails. In an editorial the Detroit
Free Press says:
Throughout the country this week
the American Humane association is
carrying on special campaign TO
awaken the people TO a sense of their
duty toward dumb beasts The slo-
gan is BE kind to animals" Insofar
as the movement keeps itself clear
from exaggerated sentimentality and
confines itself to an effort to prevent
cruelty, it is a most worthy effort.
Beyond question there is much
sheer heartlessness in the treatment of
the horses. dogs, cats and other dom
este animals which are part of the
general domestic establishment of
society. While there is no room for
sympathy with the impulse which
leads TO the exaggerated pampering
of pets and TO the consequent neglect
of human beings, proper treatment of
the creatures man has brought into
subsection and made dependent is a
plain obligation, and to neglect that
obligation is in the nature of crime.
The campaign Of the American HUI
name association is directed mostly
toward calling the attention of
thoughtless persons to their response
bilities and toward amelioration of
conditions which are the fault OF no
one in particular and of every one in
general 1t deserves attention and
support.

QUARRELS BETWEEN PUBLIC
MEN

The recent episode occurring when
ex-presidents Theodore Roosevelt and
William II. Taft met as pall-bearers
at funeral has revised discussions
as TO the personal relations of these
two famous men. Accounts of that
particular incident vary. Some re-
porters have it that the hand shake
was purely cool and formal while
others see enough warmth in il to
suggest a revival of their former in
timacy.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt said
some severe things about each other
But the capacity of public men for
overlooking the rough and tumble of
public debate seems marvellous to the
average man.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred peo-
pie are too sensitive 10 criticism The
moment anything is said in the local
community adverse to their personal
ity, ideas, or manners, they fiercely
resent IL is malicious attack
Yet there is very little personal mall
ice in daily life in either personal or
business relations. Criticism is the
saving salt of life. Without 1t private
life would go stale and public life
would be rotten with corruption.
MoSl pune men soon learn 10 steel
themselves against ordinary personal
attack. They find out that they can
learn much more and gain much more
help from opponents than from
friends The friends fiatter and con-
ceal criticism. Their opponents re-
veal weaknesses. A wise public man
notes these revelations of the flaws in
his own ideas and his own record, and
corrects his course to meet them.
Wherefore the feuds OF public life
are far from lasting. A debate may
rankle with denunciations. Yet be
taken in Pickwickian sense

WOMEN SHAVE
UNKNOWINGLY

When women are so unwise as to use
so-called hair removers. they actually
shave unknowingly because such PREV
arations stimulate hair growth after
each removal
The proper way to remove hair is to
devitalize it. 1t is impossible to &C.
complish this result with pastes and
rub-on preparations because they only
remove hair from the surface of the
skin. DeMiracle. the original liquid
depilatory, devitalizes hair by attack
ing it under the skin as we'll as on the
skin.
limitations Of DeMiracle are as
worthless as pastes and rub.on prepa-
rations because they lack certain in
gradients that DeMiracle alone con-
tains which give it the power to rob
hair of it's vitality-its lie sustaining
force.
Buy bottle Of the genuine DeMir-
acle today and you will get the orig
inal liquid hair remover. Others are
worthless imitations-refuse them. Re-
member, you are not asked to buy De-
Miracle on mere promise Of your
money being refunded. DeMiracle is
the only depilatory that has binding
guarantee in each package which en-
titles you to the refund of your money
if it fails.
DeMiracle is sold in three sizes, Soc
$1.00 and $500 bottles. The larger
sizes are the most economical for der
