The city looked Its prettiest, decked out In. the national colors, "Old Glory,"' flying from the masthead of the flagstaff In the park, waved out a welcome as the old boys, with muoh of the old-time vigor, alighted In droves from the several Terminal trains that passed through our city during the day. Reception committees from the Long Beach post, O. A. R., and from the local W. R. C. met the members of the different, posts as they alighted from the cars and escorted them to the quarters provided for them. Commander J. C. Dunn of the Long Beach post, who is also quartermaster for the camp, was kept on tbe Jump all day long, getting tent space ready and allotting grounds to the different posts as they called for them. However, Commander Dunn had an efficient lot of aids, and things went through as per schedule and without a wob ble. The W. R. C, under the'lead of Its president, Mrs. L. M. John, was strictly In evidence, the deft Angers of its members, 'n conjunction with excellent taste, turn ing the bare walls of the hugo old building Into a thing of beauty. Flowers and vines, blending with the national colors, made a very pretty picture, Ihe platform especially being gayly bedecked. The fife and drum corps of the local poat met each train, act ing as escort to the visiting comrades, the old-lime martial music causing all who heard It to "brace up" and keep step with the old boys as they marched by. In the evening, at the reception and wel come of the veterans by President of City Trustees C. F. A. Johnson, the tabernacle was crowded, the enthusiasm as the "boys" marched ln to their places bubbling over and finding vent In loud and continuous ap plause.

We are glaa to have you with us. It Is a happy thought tor us all that today the Blue and the Gray fjlend Into one color—the only rivalry being to see which shall better serve their country and mankind. "We do not forge: nor underestimate the fact that every man who steps out into the ranks of battle holds up his very life before him, a shield for us und forour com mon country. This is the inspiring thought that fills the soul of every true American with gratitude to the soldiers of the Grand Army. "For this we welcome you (o our little Clty-by-the-sea, to our great, rolling, ma jestic ocean—yours as much a's ours—God's sea. " 'The sea Is his, for he made It.' He made it for his children, of whom we ail are apart, and we welcome you to the full enjoyment of our common heritage. '*We hope, soldiers of the Blue and Gray, that you and your families and friends will to thoroughly enjoy your encampment With us that the remembrance of these days will be to you like the poet's 'thing Of beauty—a Joy forever.' "You will recall to each other, as you gather about your campfires, memories of the days Of trial and of hard-won battle fields, and live over again in story nnd In long the lives that mode you honored mem bers of the Grand Army. "And so, dear friends, wishing you all the happiness you can have from this grand gathering, I give you-welcome to our homes tind neartn. Commander J. L. Hatter* of the Voter ans' association of Southern California, after thanking Mr. Johnson and through him the city of Long Beach, responded as f jllows: "Here, ln this enchanted spot, ln the city ot Long Beach, we are met as friends and bi others. We meet the citizens who have received us with open hands and generous hearts, and when we return to our homes we can all say, and truthfully, too, that the generosity and kindness ot the people of of this city extended to us while here will live green ln the memory of every old soldier and his friends who have wended their way hltherward so long a< their lives shall last. The people of Long Beach have decorated their streets today ln a manner never witnessed before. They have met us at every step and have shown us by every means we can Imagine that not only does loyalty live In their hearts, but that loyalty has generated a feeling of klndnees, of regard and sympathy for every one who has borne the banner of his country, who drew a saber In its defense, or who poinled a musket for Its preservation and for the flag which today waves over an undivided country. Let us while here show that feel ing of kindness and forbearnViee one to another that ought to belong to a* generous soldier. Let our meetings be calm, consid erate and deliberate, and when we have finished and the term of our ten days here Is ended, let us pass to our homes snd re tain a Joyful remembrance of tbe kindness < and generosity with which wo were received ln the city of Long Beach."

Daughters Should be Carefully Guided In Early Womanhood. What suffering frequently results from a mother's ignorance; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter I Tradition says "woman must suffer," and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration In this. If a yonng woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should ace that she gets It. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Plnkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address ia Lynn, Mass. The following letter from Miss Marie F. Johnson, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and telle how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: "My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with Irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost bo much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who Is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote yon for advice. I followed the advice yon gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have a good color. I am completely cured of irregularity." f> Retiring p 1 From Business 1 j mm B I Don't | [ Wait Until | f Last Day 9 \Of This \ f Sale | |To Make | ?
