J_ service at Washington Cathe^ dral has become an institution of the life of the Nation's Capital. For Several years the patriotic organizations of the city have joined in the impressive confmemoration of the heroic dead, and the beautiful southern slope of Mount St. Alban is a perfect place of assembly for ,the thousands who have wished to attend. Nowhere else in the United States Is there to be found a more deeply stirring spectacle than the procession of flags which is a distinguishing feature of each recurrent occasion. There are usually more than six hundred banners in line when the bugles sound the signal to advance. The bearers start from St. Alban's Parish church, at the west gate of the Cathedral Close; follow the tree-sheltered lane into the Cathedral walls and descend into the amphitheater by way of the I'il- Scene at Massing of the Color* at Washington Cathedral. . frims- Steps--a brilliant tide of red, white and blue flowing to the music of drums and trumpets. The service proper centers about a cross of poppies raised in a woodland grove which nature seeitas purposely to have provided. There the colors are brought into one single focal point which symbolizes the significance of the sacred 'ceremony--a united people, a united hope. No* denominational differences ®af~ the event, no political dissonance disturbs It And no chauvinistic extravagance ever is permitted to intrude. Gratitude and respect, tolerance and peace are the keynotes of the rites. Invariably, the President speaks or sends his greeting, and the sermon of the' Bishop of Washington is an appeal to conscience of the multitude to the end that "these deajd shall not have, died in vain." The service id a memorable experience of the type which, at least once in his career, every American should have, observes a writer in the Washington Star. Its pageantry, its majesty, its living grandeur and its compelling stimulation have «n enduring influence in the mind and heart. It represents a nation at worship, a nation aspiring toward a common unselfish ideal, an all-inclusive love of country, God and man.

Mrs. Tobey appeared . .as*, guest speaker and demonstrator at the an-1 nual homemakors conference held as a part of the Farm and Honie .Week program, at Urbana in January, and has been', the most talked of about speaker on the entire program. If there are sensational speakers, Mrs. Tobey is one. She not only tells one, what's new in hats, coats, dresses, collars, etc., but she shows them. She not only shows these things nut the shows how they should be worn find by whom. ' . Mrs. Tobey will no . doubt be the tnost talked of person in McHenry and Lake Counties, among women and girls because she says and does the things women want to hear and see. This is no doubt the first time a New York Stylist has ever appeared in McHenry County and it is one of the most outstanding and unusual programs the McHenry County Home Bureau J^8_had_io of|er for some time. -- T: HE battle of Chickamauga was fought September 19-20, 1863, when Gen. William Starke Rosecrans was marching on Chattanooga, with Gen. Braxton Bragg slowly retreating, .and expecting reinforcements. These reinforcements came suddenly and unknown to Bosecrans,. relates a writer in the Indianapolis News. Bragg halted-at .Chickamauga, and deployed his troops. Rosecrans placed his troops with Gen. George Henry Thomas on the left, Maj. Geu. Thomas L. Crittenden in the center, and Ma}. Gen. Alexander McD. McCook on the right, along the Chickamauga creek. Sep tern be r 10, the Confederates crossed the creek, and Maj. (Jen. Leonidas Polk struck Thomas) line. Thomas returned the assault, confusing Bragg's lan. September 20, Thomas was again attacked. He. frequently called for reinforcements, though he held his position stoutly. Finally Gen. Thomas J. Wood, misinterpreting an order, ,niH<fc»a false move, which precipitated the Confederate attack on a weak point in the Federal line, and the day was lost. Rosecrans fled to Chatta nooga, but Thomas kept fighting until Gen. James Abram Garfield was sent to summon him. The combat engaged 55,000 Federals and 70,000 Confederates. The Federals lost 10,000 and the Confederates 18,000. The battle of Atlanta took place July 22, 1864* in Atlanta, between Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's army of the Tennessee, numbering three corps, and Brig. Gen. John Bell Hood's corps of Gen. Joseph Eggleston Johnston's army. The Confederates were defeated and driven back to their lntrenchments within the town. Hood began the attack, on Brig. Gen. William E. Hardee on Sherman's left Gen. James B. McPherson, of the Federals, gained a position on a high hill, commanding the heart of the town, rtnd then the fight went on all along the line. Battery F. Second United States artillery, was lost in a sharp skirmish on a country road, and McPherson, riding to Its assistance, was killed. The battle lasted more than four-hours. At four o'clock Hood plunged* into the remnant of Mcl'herson's line and'drove* It back 400 yards, carrying two . important batteries in the face of mur- "derous fire. Gen. John M. Schofleld's batteries were Jiurried up to maintain this desirable position and aid the Fifteenth corps to regain its lost ground, in which "he was successful. Hood retreated to his intrefichments, having lost all his guns except the two advance ones. Sherman lost 3,722 men and Hood many more. Atlanta was afterward -besieged by Sherman and captured, on Hood's abandoning It, September 2^1864. the Winn's home afternoon. do more. Tnhiceyy lmabuvoir iinn sseraassuojni aannda Ii " * , K, a*.e .

In all probability there may have been some cases gf scarlet fever and perhaps a few cases of undulant fever transmitted through milk. None were detected, however, and certainly milk was responsible for no epidemic of any case. One reason for this splendid record is the fact that the public demands for pasteurized milk have increased rapidly during recent years.

Only eleven states actually seceded. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. Two others, Kentucky and Missouri, were expected to do so but remained in the Union. The seven stars in the original flag represented th« first seven atates to secede.

The pasteurized milk supply in Illinois is second to none in whold'someness and safety. It may be purchased and used liberally with every confidence. No other food yields so much nutritional and health benefits as milk in proportion to its cost.
