binary interest,

sons of Veterans in our city was
eighteen with Comrade Thomas
Jones representing the Spanish
War Veterans and ten young Boy
Scouts who came and desired to
oe permitted to go along and en-
JOY the exercises of the day and
become familiar with the duties
required.
Autos for the twelve old SOL
diers were provided by Messrs
Renshaw, Shaffer, Taylor and
kimball. The Son of Veterans
and Boy Scouts considered it an
| honor to walk behind the old
soldiers, being commanded by
'comrade Frank Regenitter, at one
time in the U. S. Regular Infantry

time was taken to read portions of
the Il A. X: Memorial Day Ex-
ereises from a ritual when a de-
tail of Sons of Veterans was made
to decorate the grave OF each
old soldier buried in the cemetery
with flag and some flowers.
This being the first time the
sons had been engaged in the work
they were interested to become
familiar with the location of each
old soldiers grave The Boy
Scouts were equally SO ear
nest and willingly desirous of be-
ing of service where and whenever
needed, and there is no doubt at
all that each one of the sons and
likely the Boy Scouts. seeing and
realizing the old soldiers ageing
so quickly that there is for the
future sincere willingness to in
terest themselves in anything that
may present itself of the work
that the old soldiers have been
doing in the past and will not
only be attended to very carefully
bu that the people of our city
may now look for and expect such
appropriate patriotic Memorial
Dav services prepared by the Sons
OF Veterans, Spanish War Veter-
ans and Boy Scouts that will be
worth while attending on succeed
ing Memorial Days in our city.

dismissed, when Comrade Ren.

Summer Suggestions
For Baby's Mother
Sedsondble Advice on the
Health of Children in
Hot Weather

No one requires as much food in
Summer as in Winter. Do not over
feed children during the hot
weather. Serve only the lighter and
more easily digested foods, and
make sure the bowels keep normsl-
ly active.
Most Of the troubles to which
children seem particularly suscep-
tible in summer have their origin in
constipated condition. The first
care Of the mother should be to see
that the children are regular. At
the first sign Of q disposition to
neglect this important function a
mild laxative should be admins
tered promptly. Cathartics and
purgatives should never be given to
children as they are harsh and vio-
lent in their action and tend to up
set the entire system. The combina-
tion of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, sold in drug stores under the
name Of DR.. ,Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, is now very generally used to
correct stomach and bowel trouble
and is especially adapted for chill
dren, being pleasant to the taste,

from opiate or narcotic drugs of
any description. A dose at bedtime
brings relief next morning in an
easy, natural manner, without grip

DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
