MEMORIAL DAY AGAIN
ZONES once more Memorial Day-fraction Of
the twelve-month that is fragrant Of the
- unforgotten.
Born of love and loyalty, of loss and loneli-
ness and longing, of sorrows that soothe even
while they pain, it is at once the nationss ex-
preston of grief and its avowal of gratitude.
Following custom that reaches back to
the childhood of most of US, this community will
make ready for fitting observance of the sweet
est saddest day in all the cycles of years.
Out in the orderly avenues of the city of the
dead, eager feet will be hurrying, bearing a will
derness of flowers. 1t is the end of May, the
season of buds and blossoms, and they are tokens
of remembrance for all who are gone-for all but
the forgotten. Almost every grave CLOVIS like
garden.
1t will be an old, old, old scene to most of us,
but in it there will be an eloquence irresistible
There will be no flash of soldier inery in that
column, no CLINT of gun, no glitter of bayonet, no
CLEAN of sword But there will be in it some
thing more impressive even than the majesty OF
a charging host Cheeks will grow moist with
tears in the presence of that column, and hearts
will grow heavy with an inexpressible ache, but
the significance of it all will be thing that in
memory's treasure will never grow less. On the
heart is written the meaning of the day of flags
and flowers.
1t is all sentiment, to be sure, but it is senti-
ment of the sort that the people of nation must
have if their institutions are to endure, if the
victories they have won are to be kept, if the
progress they have achieved is to be made secure.
In the beginning, Memorial Day was designed
as an institution that would bring once a year
the nations acknowledgement of it's debt to its
fallen defenders. 1t quickly outgrew it's original
design 1t had in it an appeal that was universal.
1t has come to be day on which the American
people pay the tribute of love and memory to all
their dead There need be no fear that Memorial
Day will ever fall into disuse. There is scarcely
a man in all the land who would not be outraged
= at even suggestion of its Abandonment. 1t will
endure and it will honored and observed as
long as the nation shall keep place among the
peoples of the earth. Its universally makes it
secure-Murray County Herald.

to the fact that is not so much con-
tinuous and excessive drinking
among alcoholics as formerly, as it
is too costly; moreover. the quality
has deteriorated and is more pois-

1.-THE chronic alcoholic does not
drink beer any more, because he
can not get it. He is, as a rule
not an habitual wine drinker. as
this fails to have the requisite kick.
He drinks what he has the funds TO
purchase and this is chiefly the
cheap so-called whiskey and gin.
Government analysis show that
the most of the hard liquors fur

DRY ACT RAISES
INSANITY TOTAL,
SAYS DOCTOR
More Patients Admitted to
ASyIumS Because of
Bad Liquor.
lBv SCIENCE serric.l

ATLANA, Ga, May II. - Since
prohibition there has been a con-
tinuous increase in the number of
patients, insane from excessive use
of alcohol, admitted for the first
time to the hospitals in New York
state, DR.. William c. Garvin, medi-
cal superintendent of the Bingham
ton, N. Y, state hospital, declared
today before the American Psy-
chiatric Association. The lowest ad-
mission rate occurred in the year
ending June 30, 1920, the year pro-
hi5ition went into effect. The peak
was reached in 1927
DR.. Garvin also stated that the
patients entering recently have been
more acutely i'll than were those
coming to the hospital before pro-
hibition. He said that patients, ow-
ing to the character and quantity
of the liquor imbibed, appear more
poisoned; here is a greater degree of
prostration than formerly; confu-
sion Of the mind is more often pres
ent, and patients are more often de-
ferrous. Recovery is slower, but is
also more complete.

Garvin, that the changes are due

The retail liquor Dill OF the

no doubt that if the saloons had re-
manned open the bill would have
been double this amount in 1926,
due to increase of prices. The
liquor trade probably did 20 per
cent as much business last year as
it did in the time Of its greatest
prosperity. although economists
usually place the figure lower.

of the liquor drank This is prob
ably due to the fact that they are
not able to drink liquor continuous
~ as chronic alcoholics did in for

Or. Garvin expressed the belief
that prohibition never will abolish
the liquor traffic.
