MEMORIAL DAY.
The Service of the Veterans Remem.
bered Today.

For many years on the Memorial
Day anniversary, May 80, the Veter-
ans OF the Civil war have been
preaching patriotism. Many times
their words attracted little attention.
1t usually proves very difficult to get
a crowd out to Memorial Day exer-
cises. The people are busy with
their outings and sports and will not
give up an hour for a patriotic pur-
pose.
The Memorial Day orator fire.
quently had to talk to audiences
composed of the families and init
mate friends of the veterans, and
small boys drawn in by the beat of
the drum.
AS the veterans have grown old
and their numbers have diminished
they have still kept up their patrio-
tic task in spite of the infrmities of
age. They have trudged around to
the public schools to give talks, hop
ing to stir patriotic feeling in young
hearts. Sometimes the public may
have seemed Indifferent, yet all this
work has had its effect. Recent
'events have proved that the old fire
still burns. Our people have finally
cast aside their ease and comfort,
and have pledged themselves to a
war that means infinite sacrifices. 1t
could not have done this unless
there had been a ceaseless effort to
keep alive the American feeling.
This is a year when all exercises
held in behalf of the soldier dead
should be greeted with great out
pouring of the people. An impress
sive popular observance of Memoir
ial Day will arouse still further our
feeling of American pride, and our
willingness to labor and sacrifice for
it. 1t is our country that gives us
our blessings, and unless the coun-
try is safe and secure, our whole flu
ture is unstable AID hazardous.
The pathetic remnant of remain
ing veterans, both those who wore
the Blue and the Gray, SHOULD be
honored as men who eXemplified the
spirit of sacrifice without which no
country can endure.

Betsy BOtter's Batter.

Betsy Better had a bit of batter,
and she thought she'd buy a bit of
butter to put in her bit of batter, and
'twould make her bit of batter bet
ter. But when she bought her bit of
butter, she found her bit of butter
bitter, and if she put her bit of but
ter in her bit of batter, it would make
her bit of batter bitter. So she
bought better butter to put in her
bit of batter to make her bit of bat
tel, etter, and she brought her bit of
ter better, AID she brought her bit OF
ter, which made her bit of batter bet
ter butter. fEa

New Corn Remover in Big
Demand, Say Druggists

Since the virtues Of Ice-Mint as a
corn remover became known in this
country. druggists have been having
all extraordinary demand for this pro-
duct, and 1t is predicted that this
summer women will wear smaller and
prettier shoes than ever.
The fact that this new discovery
which is made from Japanese pro-
duct. will actually remove corns-
roots and all-and without the slight
est pain or soreness, is. of course,
mainly responsible for its large and
increasing sale. ..-..
You apply just little on tender.
aching corn, and instantly the sore
ness IS relieved. and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it may be lifted
out with the fngers--rot and all.
Ice Mint is a clean, creamy, snow
white non-poisonous substance and
will never inflame OF lrritate the most
tender skin.
Cutting or pairing corns often pro-
duces blood poisoning, and people are
warned to stop it,
Just ask In any drug store for a
small jar Of Ic.Mint. which will cost
little, yet is sufficient to rid ones
feet OF every corn or callous. You'll
like it immensely.-Adv.
