of a Worcester, Mass, physician.
For any form of Asthma where the
bronchial tubes are i~rritated. the breath
ing short and difficult, its healing, reliev-
ing action is really wonderful. Sufferers
who can't breathe at night and who gasp
for a good, clear breath viii appreciate
the relief and comfort Oxidaze gives.
Oxidaze is a tablet made from essential
oils which, when the patient dissolveS in

Memorial Day
Passed Quietly
THREATENING WEATHER, HOW
EVER, KEPT MANY FROM
OUT OF TOWN AWAY

This years Memorial Day was OBJ
served in the usual solemn manner by
paying homage to the dead. At 1000
o'clOck the parade started from the
armOry and marched through the bus
mess section of town and then to the
cemetery. An unusual large crowd
was already there waiting for the par
ade. The services for the G. A. R.
was held at their monument and then
the World War comrades went throug1
their ceremony of hon0ring the deI
which was very impressive. After ii
services the parade reformed anE
marched to the armOry where dinner
was served
One conspicuous feature that was
commented upon at considerable length
was that few people seemed to an
cover when the national anthems were
being played. However, the little
school children, who were seated, i'm
medlately arose to attention. This
lack Of respect is due, we hope, more
to thoughlessness than disrespect.
In the afternoon drills were held at
the school play ground after which
the parade marched to the armOrv
where the people listened to an excel
lent speech by Hon. Henry Benson, of
st. Peter. Mr.. Benson was listened to
attentively and his address highly ap-
preciated. After this the parade pro
ceeded to Lake Redwood where ser
wees were held in commemoration of
the departed sailors and marines.
Mr.. d. l.. Crimmins was marshal
OF the day, and the mustang he rode
seemed to be trained for the work he
had to do, as he had a step like a
brigadier general.
The day passed off very nicely and
harmonious and not single accident
occurred. Auto drivers, also, showed
every consideration for the marchers
and made no attempt to shoot ahead or
to cross the line of march. There
