MEMORIALS FOR THEIR DEAD
serbians Ever Keep Green the Mem.
CRY Of Deceased Members OF
Their Families.

1t is not quite accurate to entitle
this ceremony funeral for it is net
that, but we have in English no one
word or two words with which to ex-
press the meaning. In order to secure
complete accuracy, it would have been
necessary to head this sketch with the
words, ceremony Performed by Ser
bian Family on the Anniversary OF the
Death of One Of Its Members" and no
newspaper copy reader would pass
title like that, writes correspondent.
IT is the custom of the country to re-
member the dead on the anniversary OF
death by pilgrimage to the grave
yard with all appropriate ceremonies.
A morbid custom, and one that might
be productive of endless and needless
grief, according to our ideas, but the
Serbs are hard race and face their
sorrows without covering them. All OF
the family files to the cemetery, &C.
COMMANDED by close friends and head
ed bv priests. Flowers are laid on the
grave, prayers are offered and the
women weep. The virtues of the dead
are extolled and he is addressed and
apostrophized.
This part Of the ceremony over, the
company sit down to meal that they
have brought with them. The affair
takes on the aspect of some grave So
cial occasion. Wine is drunk and much
food is eaten. 1t is customary to tell
all the anecdotes and incidents relat-
ing to the dead man that those present
van remember. Even bits Of the past
that have a humorous turn are not
barred. 1t is in some sort bringing
forth of his whole memory and setting
him again before his people, brushing
aside the passing days that were hlding
the thoughts of him from view.
It is interesting to speculate on the
meaning of this unusual practice, and
on the human tendency that gave 1t
birth and keeps it alive. 1t seems to
root in the old human dread of being
forgotten completely. AS these peo-
pie do 1t unto the dead. so they expect
their children and their relatives to do
unto them. and they cherish the custom
as a fountain that will keep their own
memory green when their time comes

Interesting Experiment.

Experiments just completed by two
French scientists have reOpened tho
controversy whether rudimentary man
ifestations of life can be produced in
inorganic matter. These men took a
glass tube containing solution of col
loidal silica, sealed it by melting the
glass and subjected tube and contents
to high temperature, long enough to
sterilize them thoroughly, according
to all current ideas of sterilization
The tube was then kept moderately
warm for two months, and when
opened the contents were full of living
bacteria. Directors contend that the
colloidal silica probably operates to
protect bacteria originally in the So
luton from the effects of the heat
sterilization.

A DE ID STOMACH
Or WHAT USE is IT !

Thousands? yes, hundreds of thousands
of people throughout America are taking
the slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach,
the best friend they have, and in their
sublime ignorance they think they are
putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it is
startling fact, the truth of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swallow
ing daily huge quantities of pepsin and
other strong digesters, made especially to
digest the food in the stomach without
any aid at all from the digestive MEM
brane of the stomach.
Mi-c-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they do
more. Taken regularly for a few weeks
they build up the run down stomach and
make it strong enough to digest its own
food. Then indigestion, belching, sour
stomach and headache will 60.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by A. A. Howes
& Co., who guarantee them.

Prepare to Care for Themselves.

Nowhere have the French SHOWN
their remarkable national vitality more
striking than in the way they have
kept up the pursuits of peace while
bearing the brunt of the most exacting
war in history. So far from having
their industries broken by conflict they
have developed scores of new ones,
writes correspondent. An exhibit
now being held in Paris is given over

The first division consists of articles

now occupied by the invader, which
are now being manufactured in south

Sauinu Tea for Soldiers,

In England tea has advanced In

same time so necessary an accessory

cred an act of patriotic economy to
drink cafe au lait for breakfast In

London correspondent. Of course, any
coffee that is diluted with milk is
cafe au lait, but the term is usually
applied to the beverage as the French
take it for breakfast. That is a mix
ture of clear coffee infusion to which
is added liberal amount of hot milk.
