HOW MEMORiAL DAY CAME TO B E." TOLD BYWIDIOFGUJOIIU The Grand Army of the Republic Was the Organization That Made lt'"PbssibIe -tQ iistitije,-Subha-'Fitting Way to Honor the Heroic Dead, , and It was First Called and Celebrated s pebomation' Day. Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of the man who originated the hol iday now known in this country and the world around as Memor ial day, lives In Washington, & C. A few days ago she furnished to the National ReptthKcaa;' of that city, an article giving the facts concerning the origin of Memorial day published In the May 20 Issue of that paper. Fol lowing is the article, with only a few of the quotations omitted: Py MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN To properly appreciate the es tablishment of Memorial day readerg should know about the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic. The comrade ship and patriotic principles which prompted the organization of this, the greatect organization the world has ever known, inspir ed General Logan in writing the immortal order No. 11, when com mander-in-chief of the Grand Ar my of the Republic. Without the Grand Army of the Republic, there never would have been a GLASS OF SILTS CLEfllS If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Mothers You, Drink Lots of Water When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, dont get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor mal activity. The function of the kidneys Is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the .vital Importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before break fast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for many generations to clean and stimulate clogged kid neys; also to, neutralize the acids in untie so it no longer is a source of Irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is inexpensive; can not injure; makes a delightful ef fervescent ' f lithta-water ' drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their, kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no . doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and fcackaChe.

Department commander will us erery effort to make this Memorial day or a medium through which it could have been established. i It gives me great pleasure to telil you the true story. These are the facts: ; .'The' late Colonel Charles 1j WUsoh, editor of the Chicago Journal of that day, invited party consisting of hi niece, Miss Anna, wnson (later Mrs. Horatio May), Miss Farrar, his fiancee (all now dead); General Logan and myself, to visit the battle ffelds around Richmond In March 1868. The importance of some mea'sures then. pending in con press prevented General Logan at the last moment, from going, but he Insisted" upon -my going with these friends. We made a tour of every battlefield, : fortification temporary barricade and cemetery around the erstkhlle confederate capital, driving 'about in old tum ble-down vehicles, drawn by lean jaded horse, ; driven by thinly clad, poorly fed men, .who had survived the lone seige of Rich mond. We saw the colored" men women and children digging out the lead and Iron which had ben shot into the fortifications, ai most the only support -of these wretched people. Visiting ceme teries and church yards, we were; deeply touched by the withered wreaths and tiny flags that mark ed the graves of the Confederate dead. In the bleak March wind and light-faUing snow, the deso lation seemed almost impressive. General Logan Hears Story Returning together to the old Wlllard hotel, where, we then liv ed, sitting In our parlor after din ner, we recounted to General Lo gan the incidents of the trip and how deeply touched we were by the devastation "and ravishes 'or the war. In the church yard around an old historic church at Petersburg, every foot of the ground seemed occupied by the graves of the confederate dead. Upon them lay " wreaths, once beautiful flowers now crumbling, which had been placed there by loving hands. Little faded Con federate flags marked each grave, mute evidence of the devotion of the Southern people to their loved and lost. General Logan was as ranch impressed by our descrip tion, saying.'The Greeks and the Romans in the day of their glory. were wont o honor their hero dead bv ehanlets f laurel and flowers, as weU as by bronze and stone, and that as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and member of Congress from Illinois, which he he, then was, he would issue an order es- tabUshing Memorial day, then called "Decoration day." He de clared at the same time that he believed that he could secure the adoption of a. Joint resolution making it a national holiday and a national ceremony. vHe then took up a pencil and a piece of pa per and wrote the matchless order No. .11,' apd remarked he would submit it to his staff of the Grsad Army of the Republic, then, earn posed of Dr, W. T CoUlns, assist Invitation Jtls staff assembled m our rooms and he submitted the order to them. Without a dis- sentlng .vote, they thought itj would receive a ready-response from all loyal hearts In the nnion. He nanaed the order Np.i ii, u.i A. It., to Adjutant General Chtp-i man to be issued at once from the headquarters of th Grand Army of the Republic If Colonel Wil son made any notes or subse quently advocated the movement. they were all test a few years lat er in tne reat conflagration which visited Chicago and reduc ed to ashes newspaper files. homes and business establish ments. As far as I know Brevet Gen. N. P. Chlpmah and myself are the only living persons of all those mho had any knowledge of Gen eral Logan's authorship and con ception of this immortal order. which .like an electric shock awakened the latent gratitude m all loyal hearts toward the men who had laid down their lives that 1 the nnion might live. I claim without fear of contra diction that I know the facts and tbat my memory Is aa dependable as that of any one else in all the world who had not the same in terest that I had then and shall! have as long as I live. George Francis 'Dawson, now deceased, wrote the life of MaJ. Gen. John A. Logan, from all the records, notes and memoranda of General Logan which were placed In his hands. The following is from Dawson's ''Life of Logan:" Memorial or Decoration Day 'In January, 1868. General Lo gan's comrades of. the Grand . Ar-, my of the Republic elected , him commander-in-chief of that order. and afterward honored him' and, themselves by twice electing him to that distinguished position. It was during his first Incumbehey that General Logan, as command er-in-chief of this military society, issued the order which he often afterward alluded to as 'the proudest act of my life setting apart the SOth of May as a day In memory of the dead soldiers 'who lost their lives to perpetuate this union, a day on which to decor ate their sacred graves and keep in mlfid thelf glorious deeds. This memorable order, which was is sued to all the comrades of the .'Grand Army of the . Republic throughout the land, was In these inspiring words: "Headquarters Grand Army of the Republic, Adjutant General's Office, 446 14th Street Washington. D. C. May 5, 1868.
