ILLINOIS SAVING

Much Work Entailed in Pre-

 There are seven distinct opera . lions in the process, and in the case of flags tattered by bullet and shell holes, the work occupies several months.
 The first is to straighton the edges of the tatters so that they will fray no further. However, no part of the ! torn standards Is replaced by any new material A net of transparent black silk. imported from England, is prepared for each flag. and after ! it's restoration the net is put over the flag and stitched 10 it so that the net supports the weight of the time worn material. which might other wise pull apart
 More than one hundred of the wartime emblcms of Illinois have been thus prepared. Flags of the ! Mexican war were treated first When the Civil War flags were talk. rn up, it was found that much oi the work of the Springfield womcr
 of 1SG5-cG would have to be un.
 done. They scwed the flags to tar
 l"tan. This backing is being re- | moved in the new process.
