THE DAY OF THE DEAD

By Ninette NJ Lowater
When the days grow long and the
grasses glisten
Impearled with tears the night has
shed,
When birds all sing and the trees all
listen,
There comes to US the Day of the
Dead.
Dearer far than gems or than golden
Is their dust, whose memory Honor
keeps,
And the Nation leaves its toll and its
pleasure
To garland each bed where a hero
sleeps.
We have grown old; they are young
forever,
With glory's halo around each head.
Our names will die, but forgotten
never
Are those on the roll of the Nation IS
dead.
Past are the pain and the bitter aching.
Our sacred dead are their country's
to breaking
And the hearts that throbbed well nigh
now,
Calmly above their ashes bow.
Peace TO them--peaee forever and ever!
Here shall no rude alarm intrude.
The jarring world shall disturb them
never.
They know not of war or wars in
terlude.
Bring to their graves no thought of
sorrow.
Why should we mourn DER our
country's dead7
Their fame shall grow bright through
many morrow
And shine like the stars when the
day has fled
Bring laurel and pine for their memory
immortal,
And roses, red roses, to emblem the
love
Which follows them, even through the
dark portal,
And pansies, for thought of their
welcome above.
Bring roses-white-fo their purpose
holy,
And mid the sweet flowers which are
strewn at its side,
Whether his rank was high or was
lOwly,
Set the Banner of Stars, for which
each one died.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys 10
welr known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is o good insurance against such o
risk TO send 10 cents for sample
package of "Anuric" ~ the latest dis
Covery Of DR.. Pierce. Also send q
sample OF your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
baokache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, worn-out feeling, it's
time TO write DR.. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge-absolutely free. This
"Anurio" of Doctor Pierce's is found
10 be 81 times more active than hthia,
for it dissolves uric acid IN the system
as hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for DR.. Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of NAnuric" Is sure 90
be DR.. Pierce's. You will find the sigma
ture on the package Just as YOU do ON

The three important national
nominating conventions nave
been held and their work Is done.
Only the prohihitionisSe. Social
lists. and Labor Party are yet 10
BE- heard from. The results OF the
Jwu Conventions in Chicago and
one al ST. Louis have brought out
clearly that the National Party
Convention continues 10 perform
service which cannot be carried
out by primaries Of any sort. In
the Republican Convention sat
several, hundred delegates who
had been carefully instructed by
their State primaries. Most OF
them followed those instructions
for the first two ballots. and then
scrambled on the bandwagon.
They recognized no right OF the
voters TO tie them up, when the
conditions Of the Convention and
the possibilities-or rather impos-
sibilities-of nominating their
candidates we're made clear. The
system Of laying down hard and
fast rules for delegations was
shown TO be a failure; and the
laws Of the states ought 10 be
modified so as 10 express only
preference al most.
In most OF the states even. the
preference was farce. In Mlchl-
gan an old and experienced poll
1ician was endorsed by Henry
Ford, an able and successful manu-
facturer. who up TO that Tune,

In two Of the three conventions,
there was only one candidate for
the presidential nomination. The
Progressives nominated Theodore

impression Of acting independents
