Yesterdays second city primary
overtopped in numbers voting any
predecessor known in the city's his
itory.
All primaries of the past have
been appreciably lax in the number
that have voted in the second run
ming but this was the exception. Only
1895 participated in the election held
a week ago, while in yesterdays e.
lection 1851 voted, gain of Sc ball
lots. Even the wisest wiseacres In
the city's domains were surprised
all the "old heads" as is usually the
custom predicting dropping off in
the ballots that would be cast.
When the results were announced
they were accounted for by the adj
dition of registered voters who did
not participate in the first election.
The. activity of friends Of the candi-
dates running added large num-
Der. Such friends were extremely ac-

to voting time.

MEMORIAL DAY OBJ
SERVED BY LEGION
Floral Decorations Placed on the
Graves of LincOln's Dead
Heroes.

National Memorial Day was OBJ
served by the Brookhaven John Ed
wards Post No. IL, American Legion
yesterday. Beautiful flowers, woven
into attractive designs by loving
hands were borne by our young war
veterans out to the graves of their
sleeping brothers of the World War,
honoring their service and their sac
rifice.
Many recall as tho it were yester-
day how those stalwart young SOL
diers stood at parting Goodbye"
we said take care of yourself-we
want you to come back" were the
words sobbed out as they strode away
from home-from office-from the
familiar haunts of boyhood 20,
I'm coming back" they said.
Perhaps "the spirit that is life"
came back and still walks among us
who knows?-but only the insen-
safe clay of some once actuated by
the brave and daring soul of the pa
triot, reached again friend-town--
''the little home where he was born"
The graves that hide those manly
forms from view have made shadow
for all time to come, tho glory cir
cles round them.
They remind us that graves over
which men weep are often meant to
save. Our boys died that we might
live.
Years and years ago, heads now
grown gray remember the wreath
crowned graves of our Confederate
dead, who on each succeeding 26th
day. of April were honored in song
and stories of their deeds of valor.
Survivors of the Lost Cause with
their little wondering children stood
about the grass grown graves that
marked that tragic era in the South's
history and learned lessons of rever-
ence and gratitude to the heroes of
the SOS. The custom was a good
one.
But since the World War with its
transcendant sacrifices has come and
made but miniatures of all the rest
lit is hoped that the observance of
one Memorial Day will honor alike
the martial dead of all our wars.
Some way, we can but wish that
every municipality and precinct in
the country would observe the. day
each year. ItGcarcely seems right or
Just that the American Legion should
decorate the graves of their comrades
without a more active interest ex-
pressed by the people than the mere
giving Of flowers into their hands for
"Their deeds are worth more to those
who are living
That the riches of earth had they
suffered defeat"
Another year. let us exalt as never
before on Memorial Day the Peace
that shall come with better under
standing and the Love and Truth
that shall rule. to the end that
There be no more war" and that
our young men shall not have died
in vain.

former offense is a misdemeanor and
the latter felony. The law allows
immunity by permitting settlement
of the check within ten days after
written notice is given that the check

check was not paid for lack of funds
is prima facie evidence of intention
to defraud under the statute.

Continued Enormous
Demand for TanlaC

relieved of these distressing symp-
toms and restored 10 health and hap

Tanlac has never been advertised
as cure-au or that it would perform
unheard-of wonders. The advertis-
ing has been clean. straightforward
and conservative Actual facts and
figures have been stated and stated
in a true. business-like way that has
commanded the confidence Of all in
the conservative claims set forth.
The enormous demand for Tanlac
is due 10 merit alone, for no amount

merit Unless full value underlays
the article advertised, the advertis-
ing will ultimately fall of its own

can't fool all Of the people all Of the

Tanlac has been well advertised, it
is true. but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
II is what the people themselves say
that counts. One bottle of Tanlac is
sold in a neighborhOod through ad

that same community as a result OF
the sale Of that first bottle. and that
is why Tanlac has succeeded. People
