j. S. MEMORIAL DAY
PUZZLES Foreigners

The readiness with which the SOL
diers of the Civil war became quiet
citizens at the close of the war pug
zled foreigners at that time. For
eigners do not realize that it has never
been the policy of our people to main
tain large standing army. The SOL
diers of the Confederacy were nearly.
all volunteers. Both armies were
composed, in the main, of lawabiding
men, who left their homes in obed-
ience to what they thought was their
duty. The contest was one OF prin-
ciple; not one of personal revenge.
The matter being settled, they were
ready to return to their accustomed
occupations.
The readiness with which the Union
and Confederate soldiers now unite in
observing Memorial day also puzzles
foreigners. They think that it is a
mere matter of expediency which was
brought about in 1898, when some OF
the old Union and Confederate col
diers marched side by side under the
Stars and Stripes. But such is not
the case. The Blue and the Gray had
been united in the observance of Me-
mortal day before the war with
Spain.
Memorial day, as it is now formally
observed as legal holiday in ma
jority of the states, was inaugurated
in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan, who was
at that time commander-in-chief OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued an
order to all surviving Union soldiers
to meet May 30 of that year, at the
cemeteries near their respective posts
and to decorate the graves of their
fallen comrades. But the ceremony,
in an informal way, had been observed
since the spring of 1865, in the South,
where the custom originated. The GER
emonies at the graves of the Confed-
crate dead in Hollywood cemetery, at
Richmond, Va, in the spring of 1857.
were being observed at the time Mrs
John B. Logan happened to be visiting
the city. She was so pleased with the
simple beauty of these ceremonies
that she urged her husband to inaug-
urate similar ceremonies for the Union
soldiers. It was these ceremonies
that suggested the idea to Gen. Logan
The idea of uniting the ceremonies
of the northern and southern people
seems to have originated also, in the
South, for in the spring Of 1867 the
women of Columbus, Miss, while dee
Grating the graves of Confederate sol
diers, strewed flowers on the graves Of
the Union soldiers who were buried
in the same cemetery. When the news
of this touching tribute reached the
North, the northern newspapers COM
mented favorably on the fact.
Since that time the sentiment ex-
pressed in it has been growing among
the American people. The monument
erected at Fitzgerald, Ca, by the Blue
and Gray Memorial association Of that
place is one Of the best visible express
sions Of this sentiment

GRAIN FOR PASTURE HOGS

Hogs on pasture require grain for
greatest profits in pork production.
but a full feed is not economical when
pasture is plentiful and grain high
priced. When corn alone is fed q
limited ration is considerably cheaper
because the forage crop takes the
place Of much Of the grain.
Hogs fed all the grain they would
eat made more rapid but less economi.
cal gains in feeding tests at the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station.
They can be marketed sooner, however
ever, which often is an advantage to
farmers.
Some protein feed, such as tankage
or skimmilk, is recommended to be fed
in small quantity along with corn and
pasture to pigs weaghing less than 100
pounds. Pork production is usually
too expensive when such feeds are
given to large hogs, especially if they
are on such pasture as alfalfa, clover,
rape or soybeans. all of which are
high in protein.

TWO POTATO CROPS
GROWN IN ONE YEAR

Intensive potato culture may be
practiced in this year of food shortage
by planting late crop after clover is
cut or strawberries are picked. Sun
sprouted seed is required for the
second crop.
Full benefit of the clover may be
realized by planting tubers just after
harvest, according to gardners at the
Ohio Experiment Station. They also
say that unusual yields and high
quality of potatoes may be expected
from paintings made in early summer
on old strawberry patches.
For such planting the potatoes make
quick growth if sprouted in partial
sunlight in the spring. When spread
out in shallow trays or on a floor
where the sun shines part of the day,
short, stubby, green sprouts grow to
one-haH to three-fourths of an inch
long, and the tubers shrivel somewhat.
These potatoes may then be cut and
planted with the sprouts on, care being
taken not to injure them. At the Elk.
pertinent Station such seed planted
June 30 yielded nearly twice as much
as ordinary cellar-stored potatoes
planted the same day.

over a million 1-pound loaves a day.
For full year at this rate there
would be a waste OF over 319, ,0Ov, 900
pounds of flour-1, 100000 barrels
enough flour to make 365, 900, ,OOe
lOaves.
AS it takes Az bushels of wheat 10
make q barrel Of ordinary flour, this
waste would represent the flour from
over 100000 bushels of wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels Of
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. 1t would take the fruit of some
100000 acres just to provide single
slice of bread to be wasted daily II
every home.
To produce this much -four calls for
an army of farmers, ra;lt.9y men,
fiour-mill people. To get the flour 10
the consumer calls for many freight
cars and the use of many tons of coal.
But some one says, full slice Of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very well-make it a daily slice for
every or every 10 or every 30 homes
make it a weekly or monthly slice In
every home-or make the waste slice
thinner. The waste of -four involved
is still appalling-altogether too great
to be tolerated when wheat is scarce,
Any waste of bread is inexcusable
when there are so many ways Of using
stale bread to cook delicious dishes.

HIGH COURT DECISION
BOLSTERS LIABILITY Law

Employers who subscribe to the
Ohio worlzmen's compensation law
and comply with specific requirements
cannot be sued successfully by In
jured employees on the ground the en-
ployer had not taken full safeguards,
the supreme court ruled Tuesday.
This adds the last buttress to the
workmen's compensation system and
was hailed with pleasure by friends
Of the law, including Gov. Cox.
The decision practically compels tha
employe to accept the industrial COM
mission award and WIN reduce HH-
cation.
The only employers who can b.
sued for damages are those who fail
to comply with certain Q tipulated
ordinances governing safeguards,

WHEN YOU WASTE A BIT
OF BREAD, HEED THIS

A single slice Of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many house
holds one or more slices of bread
daily are thrown away and not used
for human food. ., Sometimes stale
quarter, or half loves are thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of bread
such as the child likes to cut-wieghs
an ounce. It contains almost three
fourths Of an ounce Of -four.
If every one Of the country's TO-
100000 homes wastes on the average
only one such slice Of bread a day,
the country is throwing away daily
over 100000 ounces Of flour-over
$4,000 pounds, Or enough -four for

as you would from any other part
of the anatomy that was in decay
ed condition. These poiSons are
transmitted into the system by the
most direct possible route when the
food comes into contact with the
teeth in the process of maStication.
Many so-called cases OF rheuma.
ism, swollen joints and even bal
cases of spinal trouble are now
known TO have come from bad teeth.
Decayed teeth are unsightly-
they detract from the personal APP
pearance-and goodness knows that
we all need the benefit of all the
good looks with which nature may
have endowed us.
Really folks-getting right down
10 solid facts. there is positively no
excuse at all for any one to have
bad teeth-or if they have them
now, there is surely no tenable rea-
son for allowing them to continue
in that unhealthy condition. ,
Bad teeth interfere with efiicien-
cy. Seattle never had so bright a
future commercially as now lies i'm
mediately before her. Those who
will profit most by this will be those
who are the most efficient. Are you
going TO allow your teeth TO inter-
fere with your making the measure
OF success that you ought to make !:
We offer you = this office the
services of high-grade, graduate, reg.
istered dentists-men of the highest
standing in their professionalism
who have graduated from the best
dental colleges and passed the exam

in front of his dental chair, in plain
sight of all.
This will prove to you instantly
that he knows his business, and
knows it thoroughly.
We use the very best of materials
and our prices are the lowest. We
are able 10 offer the lowest prices
on account of the very large volume
of business that we do. II stands to
reason that we can afford to take a
smaller profit on the individual case
than an office which does only one
half 10 one-third Of the volume thai
we do can possibly afford to take.
We guarantee all work that leaves
this Office with an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction, which is signed both
by the operator who did the work
and also by l.. r. Clark, ID. d.. S.,
owner and manager of this office,
who is thoroughly responsible.
We invite you TO call and let our
experts give your teeth thorough
examination. They will tell you at
once just what is needed to putrthenl
into perfect condition. Also just
what the cost will be.
You will probably be surprised to
find just how small the cost will be
under our low-price system.
One thing is very sure, though.
whatever the cost may be, ii will be
worth a great deal more to you.
Don't be afraid that the work will
hurt you. We guarantee to perform
the most difficult dental work with
out hurting the patient bit. We
can prove to you that we have done
this for hundreds of others. There
is no reason whatever why we can
not do the same thing for you.
