FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD.
No grave in which a soldier lies is ever for
gotten by Americans. It is one of the laudable
traits of our national character that we annually
acknowledge our indebtedness to those who
served their country. They offered their lives
as a pledge of tlieir faith iii American ideals and
the glorious destiny of our institutions. Some
were called on to make the last and supreme
proof of their devotedness, while others were
spared from the battle .shock to end their lives
in peace, but -all are accorded a full share in
the gratitude of the country whose citizens ap
preciate the liberty bought at the price of
courageous resistance to tyranny and oppres
sion. Til I"t".ltf.rt llA ,..,.. ill .. A .. - f A .. . .

on May .50, just as though their last home was
under the sun of their native laud. That is why
The Bee has joined with other great newspapers
to solicit subscriptions to a fund that will be
expended for the purpose of decorating those
graves. It is a public duty, although there is
no branch or department of government
charged with its performance.
All are asked to contribute to this fund.
Prompt response is almost imperative, for there
is not much time. The home graves will be
decorated as usual, and every American mother
whose son is buried inFrance may be assured
that the boy will not be neglected by his coun
trymen on Memorial day. You cheered those
boys when they marched away; now show that
you do not forget them because they did not
come home again. Come into the flower fund.
You are not allowed to give more than $5, but
you can do that, or whatever you feel able to
contribute, knowing it will all be spent on deco
rating the graves of soldiers lying in foreign soil.
A heap of flowers on a soldier's grave will
do more to convince the world of our sincerity
than membership in the League of Nations.
Hitting Hard at High Prices.
One of the possibly effective ; and practical
blows aimed against the profiteering madness is
reported from Chicago. There the "white col
lar" brigade, men who can afford to pay the
price, have united in a protest against the ex
aggerated cost of haberdashery and laundry.
Collars, neckties, expensive shirts, and all that
goes with them, are to be eschewed for a period
of twenty days. These men have just headed
off a move on part of the barbers to boost the
prince of service to an outrageous figure, and
feel that they can produce similar effect on the
minds of other profiteers.
The plan is more attractive than the overall
idea. The latter simply has had the effect of
producing a temporary shortage in denim
goods, with a corresponding advance in, cost to
the men who need the garments in their busi
ness. Some charges are unreasonable, and
while they largely reflect the extravagance of
Americans, they also indicate such rapacity on
part of the profiteers as, deserves rebuke. No
man is required by law or custom to wear a $20
shirt or, a $4 necktie, and if he does so, he
merely advertises his vanity. Too much money
is at the bottom of it, but the effect is felt by
many who' customarily restrain their impulse to
extravagance, but are forced to submit to un
reasonable demands because the selling price
has been adjusted to meet the careless spenders
who do not care. Economy is not possible under
such conditions.
The Chicago idea may or may not spread, it
may or may not produce any lasting relief, but
it is a sign of the desperation with which the
public now faces the exasperating activity of
the price-boosters.
"Swat the Fly."
i Homely advice for the home is "Swat the
Fly." It should be the motto of every house
keeper. Now is the time to attend to it. One
fly killed, in May is equal to several million in
August. Every musca domestica that bites the
dust before the swishing swatter is a potential
parent-of huge clouds of the vermin. Removed
ffb'ni this vale of tears, his activities art; for
ever at an end. No compunction need be felt in
killing him. In no w-ay does he contribute to
the comfort of man or beast. On the con
trary, he is a menace to both. Born in filth,
he thrives in decay, and is most numerous
where dirt most abounds. His deadly trail
leads from decaying corruption across the fam
ily food to the sick room. Baby is his com
monest victim. Considered from any stand
point, the fly not only is a nuisance, but an
imminent source of disease and discomfort. He
lives just for the reason that those who most
suffer from his presence are most indifferent
to his capacity for harm. All this has been
"recited before, many a time, but each recurring
month of May brings back the duty because it
brings the fly. Get your swarter busy now, and
keep it going all summer. Let no buzzing fly

A Simple Reducer.
Many there are in this age of abundant
sweets and fats, jelly-producing motor drives
instead of long muscle-building walks, pastries
and puddings rather than vegetables and fruits,
bo wish their too, too solid flesh would melt.
If wishes were fat-killers the town would be full
of ilender women.'
What is wanted is an effective fat-discour
ager that requires no effort and does not punish
the appetite. We have heard of one which "de
mands neither exercise uttr fasting, and is said
to result in a los of a pound a day until one
is reduced to the degree of leanness desired.
It is a simple thing. Just this: Eat only
one thing at a meal. Select what you want and
take all you wish of it, no matter what it is, ice
cream, pastry, fruit, meat or what-not.
A Taxon Western Resources.
Western bankers, business men and farmers
are impatient and indignant because the short
age of freight cars on the northwestern rail
roads is seriously delaying their shipments of
gram and stock and causing an acute shortage
of bank resources for spring business require
ments. It is not surprising. , The cars needed,
which belong to the western roads, are stand
ing empty and idle on eastern and southern
sidetracks many of them in the south held for
the shipment of crops not yet grown. This while
western elevators, barns and bins are overflow
ing with grain which should be in the east' al
ready, and live stock that should be rolling into
Omaha and Chicago is on the plains awaiting
transportation.
It is a bad situation all around. The farmers
have had to go to the banks for money and are
having to pay interest on it. The banks, be
cause of the farm paper they are carrying, are
short of funds necessary for their local "business
patrons, whose bills for spring and summer
merchandise are falling due and must be met
to maintain their credit. All because the rail
roads cannot get their own cars or others in
place of them.
The Omaha gentlemen in Washington seek
ing to impress the Interstate Commerce com
mission with the economic necessity for the re
lief they ask, and the justice of their demand
for it, have the best wishes of the entire west.
Action is what is wanted and needed immedi
ate action. They are asking for it, pressing for
it. May success be theirs, and with it the grate
ful thanks of the whole west, for verily those
who go down to Washington for action In these
parlous and treacherous times, and get it, have
done much and have done it exceedingly well!
An Anti-Christian Trend.
Bishop Rhinelander's statement in a recent
address that the United States as a nation has
turned away from Christ, will shock many
good people, and doubtless be vigorously dis
puted. The distinguished Episcopalian eccles
iastic has reached his unhappy conclusion by
observing the trend of school and college edu
cation and the literature and amusements to
which the mass of the people turn. He has been
influenced also by the general immodesty in
dress, sexual looseness and crime which are
the attractions in theatrical performances, and
now sees "a definite anti-Christian drift, which
seems to be increasing in rapidity of force and
movement."
The bishop's conclusions might be applied
with much force to the world at large, and
specifically to the late peace conference at
Paris, heralded as a culmination of forces that
would bring "on earth peace, good will toward
men," and with it the undisputed reign of Chris
tian principles. Ridicuious that notion, in view
of the fact that the entire conference, its treaty
and its covenant rigorously excluded any refer
ence whatever to God Or religion, met without
prayer, and designedly omitted any acknowl
edgement of divine influence, if we are correctly
infprmed. 1
The gradual turning of the people from
religion in their daily lives, if such a movement
is going on, may account for a change we have
noticed in American political speeches. Forty,
fifty, sixty years ago, almost without exception,
great speeches in congress and on the stump,
contained apt quotations from the Bible, used
to add force to their arguments. How" seldom
they are seen now! Onemay read or hear
speeches by the score, with never a reference
to religious text. And yet, our observation has
been that statesmen who illustrate their princi
ples by excerpts from the Scriptures are usually
successful with the people. 1 "
Why Increase Freight Rates Now?
A 28 per cent increase in freight rates, yield
ing a billion and seventeen million dollars a
year, is necessary to enable the railroads to
meet operating expenses and cover a 6 per cent
income on their capitalization, is the substance
of their statement to the Interstate Commerce
commission this week.
The prosperity, indeed the business salvation
of the country, depends on-railroad efficiency.
We are not getting satisfactory service now, and
while business generally has none but the kind
est and most generous thoughts for the rail
roads, and is more than willing to "put up" in
creased freight charges, the belief persists that
the railroads are not doing their level best to
serve the public under present conditions.
Men in other lines of business always have
to show increased usefulness or improved pro
duction in order to secure higher financial re
turns. Why not the railroads? We cannot but
think that an increase of efficiency of say 30 per
cent would put the public in a far friendlie'r
mood toward the 20 per cent increase in freight
rates they now suggest. Increased service
means increased earnings for every other busi
ness. Why not apply the same idea to the rail
roads, and await results before boosting their
earnings a billion dollars?
Chairman Hays says factional feeling is dis
appearing from among republicans, just as it is
increasing on the other side. Signs indicate the
accuracy of his prediction.

Sir: I notice a lamentable weakness seizing
some American cartoonists, 1. e., the habit of

pointing, etc., leaving the reader no chance to
use his head. An example from an old "Punch:"
Lucy (studying geography): "Harry, what
ever is the equator?"
Harry: "Why, the equator is a menagerie
lion going 'round the world."
Then follows this appalling explanation in
brackets: "Harry has been to the circus lately,
and has probably confused menagerie lion with
imaginary line." T. K. Jl.

Last Saturday
I went
Unto' my
Secret hoard
And brought out
A two-gallon jug
Which I had' bought
As being filled -
With Gin.
And when I opened it,
Behold.
It was filled
With a light-brown
Liquid.
And I said to myself,
"The Son-of-a-Gun!
I'll bet
They filled it
With stale beer." t
And tried it, and it was
Scotch Whisky!
And everyone knows
That Scotch Whisky
Is worth
Three times
As much as
Gin.
And I didn't
Have any
Because it was so
Expensive.

There is
-Still some justice

wenry James," he says, "was positively
storm-ridden with emotion before the fatal
night, and full of fantastic plans. I recall that
one of them was that he should hide Jn the bar
or a nttie puDlic house down an alley close to
the theater, whither I should slip forth at the
end of the second act and report 'how it was
going. This was not carried out, and for
tunately Henry James resisted the temptation
of being present at the theater during the per-
iormance. ah seemed to be going fairly well
until the close when Henry James appeared and
was called before the curtain only to be sub
jected to our unspeakable horror and shame
to a storm of hoots and Jeers and catcalls from
the gallery, answered by loud and sustained ap
plause from the stalls, the whole producing an
effect of hell broke loose, in the midst of which
the author, white as chalk,' bowed and spread
forth deprecating hands and finally vanished.
It was said at the time, and confirmed later,
that this horrible performance was not intended
to humiliate Henry James, but was, the result of
a caDai against ueorge Alexander."

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS
H. C. L. AND BURIAL RITES.
"Will you kindly give us one or
more articles on cremation?" "Three
Scoie and Ten" writes. "Many in
Chicago and elsewhere are nqaring
the end of life, and . tho last ex
pense troubles them. They are with
out friends and not money sufficient
to meet the. ordinary charges of bur
ial spot, casket, hearse, etc. Our
minds must turn to cremation as tho
only way.
"Also an article on embalming, so
that mothers may know to what
they submit their children when put
in the eniba liners' hands."
Our burial customs originate from
necessities or advantages. AVhether
our dead aro exposed to insects, the
bacteria, tho sun and the elements
on an elevated platform, or buried
in the ground or burned depended
originally upon the kind and abun
dance of wild animals, tho fighting
customs of tho peoples.
Naturally, ho builders of religions
found a fruitful theme in tho mys
tery of death, and they in turn added
a contribution to burial customs.
Next came those who, building racial
and governmental solidarity, made
use of ancestral worship and inci
dentally made their contribution.
Lastly, tradition and precedent con
tributed by fixing the procedure.
Incidentally, burial customs havo
contributed to the art of sculpture.
They have contributed to stability,
governmental, racial and family. Wc
have the custom of burying, just as
other races have other customs. Our
custom is hedged about with tradi
tions, memories, sentiments and re
ligious observances. That also can
be said of tho ctstonis of other peo
ples. This is the strongest argument
for the custom.
Burying contributes to stability.
The desire to stay by "the graves of
our dead" does operate to keep down
wandering, floating from place to
place, emigrating; does serve to
keep some Individuals and families
stable, self -respecting, upright and
energetic.
The common argument, namely,
that burying returns fertility to the
soil, possesses no merit. We aro so
wasteful in other ways that no one
is swayed by the comparatively in
significant return of soil fertility
which human bodies make. We re
gard cemeteries as sacred ground
and cover the ground thore with
stone, and brick, proving our disre
gard of this argument.
Henri Febre, a great French na
turalist, cites numberless evidences
of the Scotch thrift of nature in its
boundless provision of bacteria, in
sects and chemical forces for the
purpose of returning to the soil the
bodies of animals built therefrom.
But man has elected to make him
self an exception to the rule.
While, on the other hand, there
is no advantage to the soil from our
burial custom, on the other hand an
objection frequently used against it
is not valid. Cemeteries are not
sources of disease. The disease pro
ducing bacteria in bodies dead from
yellow fever, smallpox, diphtheria,
typhoid fever are speedily killed by
other bacteria and what Is left of
these bodies is not infective. A ceme
tery in the midst of a city is not a
source of harm, the opinion of Chi
cago's justly famous sanitarium of
1869, Dr. John H. Rauch, to tho
contrary notwithstanding. The only
objection to tho presence of a ceme
tery Within a city is the space it oc
cupies and the lack of harmony in
its setting.
Intrinsically, cremation is less dis
turbing to the sensibilities as a
method of destrugtion than -is the
slow process of decay, even though
we accept the statement of Fabre
that worms and insects play no part
In the destruction of bodies buried
deeply in the ground.
There is nothing to be said against
cremation except that it may be
used to destroy evidence of crime
and that, being contrary to custom,
it sometimes disturbs sensibilities
and makes explanations neem neo
essa ry .
Embalming 1 done by the injec
tion of a solution of formaldehyde
into the votuels and cavities. When
well done it causes tho body to
mummify. Resolution into the ele
ments occurs with exceeding slow,
ness. In fact, by properly adjusting
the strength of the formaldehyde
and by adding sonin preservative cs
segtiul oils, our embalmers can equvl
the best work done by the embalm
ers of the days of the rharaohs. .
