    The list of payable expenses has been rearranged to produce a 
generally chronological result. The words ``incurred for'', and the 
words ``articles of'' in clause (3), are omitted as surplusage. In 
clause (5), the words ``cemetery or other place'' are substituted for 
the words ``town, city, or cemetery''.
