BIG WELCOME FOR
SEASON OF CHEER
Many Reasons Why Thanks
giving Is Popular.
There’s no national celebration
more beloved than Thanksgiving,
which in November brings its festal
turkey and pumpkin: to cheer our
somewhat chilly bodies. That’s one
good thing whicth can be said for No
vember, otherwise not a very popular
month.
No warmth, no cheerfulness,
No healthful ease;
No comfortable feel in any member,
No birds, no flowers,
No butterflies, no bees—
NOVEMBER.
Can this have been written by a
citizen of our turkey-loving United
States? 1 don’t know, but the dreary
lines have somehow a true ring to
them. Spring is still far behind, for
winter has not yet come. We are
irked by the changed routine of our
daily lives which has been brought
about as short, ¢old days succeeded
Tong, lovely summer evenings.
Thanksgiving is a beautiful custom
and leads many a discontented per
son to realize that their lot is not
after all so hard as they are prone to
think. When we seriously take ac
count of our blessings we are amazed
to find how many and how rich they
are. This is the day to inhale the
perfume of life’s roses while ignoring
the ever-present thorns.
It’s tiresome to cook an endless pro
cession of meals, to be sure, but how
much more tiresome it would be if
there were no meals to cook. The
children, with their incessant calls on
one's time, are wearing, no doubt, but
who would give them up in exchange
for ease and leisure? The most
blessed people are those who have the
well-spring of love and joy ifd their
own hearts.—American Farm and
Home,
Thanksgivin

Real Spirit of the Day
Thanksgiving day should be cele
brated not alone because of good
things to eat. Once a year, and once
only, does the President of the United
States exhort our people to a religious
duty. On Thanksgiving day he asks
us to return thanks to God. If we do
not do this we are neglecting the su
preme privilege which the great day
presents. The enjoyment of a good
dinner . in no way to be despised,
but T° -'nksgiving day has lost its
fine flavor and significance if we do
not acd to the physical pleasure a
spiritual joy. Our dinner table should
be transfigured with thankfulness, and
the good things it contains should be
to us a symbol of divine generosity.—

A turkey has it easy—
At least it looks that way;
He hasn't any work to do,
Has lots of tinfe to play.
He can visit all his neighbors
From morning until night.
1 guess he likes his meals,
Because his appetite’s all right.

When Thanksgiving day is near.
National Progress
Aflirmatively, the Aday of national
thanksgiving 18 an occasion of stir
ring significance. Since the Institu
tion was last observed, a year ago,
America has prospered wonderfully.
Its material well-being has been main
lained upon a higher scale than ever
before. It has gone forward spire
ftually. It has made progress in the
solution of social problems. The en
rollment of men and women in the
cause of righteousness and for the
amelioration of the condition of the
less fortunate has increased.

The air was crisp, the season fall,
When on the turkey came to call
That little bird with tirsiess wings
Who flies around and tells folks things.
He told the turkey, “You're a goose,
Unless you hurry and reduce.
Your face is red, you waist’s a joke.
You're very apt to have a stroke.”

The gobbler said in careless mood,
“My boarding house now sets up food
That’s quite the best 1 ever ate.
1 can’t belp pecking clean each plate.”
The warner gave his wings a whirr
And chirped, “That's rather sinister.
I see you with a noble tan—
From ovens, not from sun, old man.”
“The bright, red cranberry beware—-
And all that well-dressed turks will wear.
You'll be stuffed full of bread and sage,
Unless you try and be your age.”
The gobbler gobbled all he found &
And gayly took on pound by pound,
His exercise was staid and mild;
Exertion makes wild turkeys wild.
Deat was the turkey to all pleas
*Gainst vitamines and calories,
His requiem was this remark:
“Now what will you have—white or dark?”

Good Fellowship in .
Thanks of Pilgrims
The fact that this holiday, a most
cheerful American festival, is an in
heritance from the Pilgrim fathers
may account for the misgivings in
some cc-sciences that it is celebrated
in too secular a vein, the emotion of
gratitude finding innumerable outlets
beside devotional services in the
churches.
It is doubtful that Governor Brad
ford would share that feeling. He re-
Jjoiced that his people “had all things
in good plenty,” and the day of
thanks that he appointed was given
over to feasting on the fruits of the
season and the trophies of the hunt
and to such good fellowship as the
means of the Colonists afforded.
There was a semblance of sport in the
festivity,. Edward Winslow wrote to
a friend in England that “among oth
er recreations we exercised our arms,
many of the Indians coming among
us, and among th 2 rest Massasoit,
their greatest king, with some ninety
men, whom we entertained and feast.
ed three days.”
Psalm of Thanks
And the Lord shall make thee plenteous
in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in
the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of
thy ground, in the land which the Lord
sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
The Lord shall open unto thee his good
treasure, the heaven to give the rain unte
thy land in his season, and to bless all the
work of thine hand; and thou shalt lend
unto many nations, and thou shalt not
borrow.
And the Lord shall make thee the head,
and not the tail; and thou shalt be above
only, and thou shalt not be beneath; it
that thou hearken unto the commandments
of the Lord thy God, which | command
thee this day, to observe and to do thems.

National Thanks
In our open gates we proclaim a
confidence in Man and in our theory
of government without historica)
parallel,
We believe in our institutions, in
their potency to establish and sus
tain equality before the law and equal
ity of opportunity.
As a nation we believe in God, and
that belief has been put into the
broadest, fairest practice Time has
witnessed.
Plenty blesses us. The high pur
pose to go on and on unto better
things electrifies our national thought,
For the prosperity of toda; and
the visions of tomorrow we give
thanks.
Church Thanksgivings
Well into the Eighteenth century the
day was marked by two church sery
fces, the reading of sermons at the
family hearth, and family prayer. DBe
fore Revolutionary days it was more
or less of a fast day.
Recognition of the elvil proclama
tion of a day of prayer and thanks
giving by the Protestant Episcopal
church came in 1789, the year of Pres
fdent Washington's first national
proclamation. Roman Catholie recog:
nition of the day by special religlous
features was given In 1888, when a
Mass of Thanksglving was author
fzed.

Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache -
o ————
The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble because we often eat too much
rich food. Our blood is filled with
acids which the kidneys strive to
filter out; they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the elimina
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health,
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or if you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
begin drinking lots of good soft water
and get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine,
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a
mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.
