The First $1,030 The reeeipes for suc cess handed out by the various millionaires differ in many ways, yet in one they all agree It is this—that tlie first thousand dollars of their money was the hardest to get. After they had accumulated that amount the rest of their vast wealth came easily. Their money—out at interest—made money. They denied them selves some of the little luxuries that were not necessary to their well being—and now practi cally “the earth and fullness thereof,” are theirs, and they ar-j correspondingly happy. It may then be infer red that a man who lias the determination to save a thousand dollars is well on the may to a million. Mind, we say a man who has saved a thous and dollars—not a man who has been given or who has inherited a thousand dollars. There’s a difference; for the man who has saved, has proved that he possesses a character steadfast, prudent, and courageous qualities that always win in the battle of life. “Let’s talk it over.” The Citizens Bank, 735 Broad Street. fflJv.ifiAKTlEO UMH» TNI fOOD ANO WtoUl A£T ft; JUNE 30 ISOS SERIAL Eh.

Ac cording to President Taft Thursday of this week will be observed as Thanksgiv. ing Day throughout the United States. Thanksgiving. What does It mean? Does it mean that we are thankful for the many blessings of life, that wo should pause, stop in our busy lives and give one day or at lea3t a part of one day to the giving of thanks for the many things that have added to the pleasure and joy of life? Some of us think we have nothing to be thankful for. Every endeavor of yours has gone wrong. Our fondest hopes have been crossed and there is absolutely nothing for us to be thankful for. Look at it this way. Are there not many things that we have escaped having that would have added materially to our discomfort? Have you had fev> when your neighbor was so ill? Have your little children been laid up for days and days, suffering from the children’s maladies that have been so prevalent? Have you suffered financial losses, or have your pet schemes gone astray? If not, don’t you tnink you have something to be thankful for? Observe Thursday, go to church and if yoli think you have nothing to be thankful for, be thankful for give thanks for the things you have escaped having. EVOLUTION OF THANKS GIVING DAY. History is Inevitable. In the dim ages of the long-ago, when there were no great historians to paint on paper pic tures of a people’s past, and frame that picture in gilded thoughts, the past drifted to the present in the witter of tradition. And so it has been with our Thanks giving Day. Not that the “spirit” of the day hasn’t always been—for “giving thanks” is not an unfamiliar biblical term —but it is only of recent years that the term, “Thanksgiving Day,” has struck its roots into American history, and be come an annual visitor to the nation’s faith in God. The Pilgrims were the first to plant the seed from which the harvest for this autumn feast has sprung. After the first harvest of the New England colonists in 1621, Governor Bedford made provision for the colonists to express their thank fulness with praise and prayer. In 16215 a day of fasting and prayer in the midst of drought was changed into a thanks giving by the coming of rain, during the prayer, and gradually the custom prevailed of appointing thanksgiving an nually after the harvest had been gath ered. This appointments were by proclama tions of the governors of the several New England states, but during the Revolu tion, a day of national thanks was an nually recommended by congress. Wash ington recommended such a day after the adoption of the constitution, and this example was occasioriably imitated by subsequent presidents. During the Civil war, President Lincoln frequently recommended the observance of such a day after victories, but in 1863, he made a proclamation for a Thanksgiving Day, hereafter to be a nat ional observance.'* Since then such a proclamation has been annually issued, and custom has fixed the last Thursday of November for the celebration of this autumn festival. So ’tis seen that this holiday is a model two hundred and eighty-eight years old, dressed in garments of modern innovation. And 'Us true Indeed, for the thanks giving of yesterday sleeps under the narcotic of time. It is a national institution now, but even a hundred years ago it was not known outside of New England, The sweet, homelike Thanksgiving had no fashionable magnetism to them, such as parties, school societies, college life, ane our Thanksgiving has; and thea tres for there were no such things them. But if 1809 be compared with 1909 it will be found to have been a world im mensely remote from the features which we today regard as essential to our well being and comfort. But after all, Thanks giving is rmigious anniversary; that is the heart of it. THE THANKSGIVING TABLE DECORATIONS. One always associate a bounteous re past with Thanksgiving, and has a per feet right to, for this characteristic is as old as the day itself. Coming Just after the harvests had been gathered. Ihe New England colonists allowed the day to be a true test of the resource fulness and bounty of their crops, but even then the richest families among them could not have had for dinner many of the dishes that the humblest households of today throughout our lano enjoy as a matter of course. Many of our every-day vegetables were unknown to them, and they had no knowledge of acquiring one out-of-season delicacies. But in addition to an ever elaborate Thanksgiving menu, simple characteris tic table decorations add a distinct ah to the celebration. A pretty, but simple table may be ar ranged, by having for the centre-piece a large pumpkin, cut to represent a bowl and filled with fruit and nuts. The mat of this centre adornment, Is made of a nest of autumn leaves. The place cards are autumn leaves done In bright colors. If souvenirs are desired, tiny baskets, filled with nuts are appropriate to the occasion. If you wish each place to have something in common with the centre-piece during the first course, a half grapefruit, scooped and filled with pineapple, cherries and grapes, and studded with shelled nuts, Is a good Imi tation. After that the regular Thanks giving dinner is served. IN THE AUGUSTA SCHOOL^. Thanksgiving Day in Augusta means much. It is the day which is primarily handled by the children. It is the day when every school child in the city is asked to give his or her offering for the THE AUGUSTA HERALD poor and destitute.’ Their individual of fering may be only a can of condensed milk, a can of tomatoes or a box of Uneeda biscuits, a small tiling in itself, but making in the aggregate a donation that does far to relieve the wants of many who can not even afford the ne cessities of life. Every school child in the city is asked to carry something for the general fund of edibles. They are asked to take it to school with them on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday the things wil be sent to the City Union of King’s Daughters, and will by them be given out to the various circles of the King's Pa ugh tors who will see to it personally that as many as possible who are needy and whose stock of groceries are at ebb tide, may be relieved. In this way Thursday will find the groceries where they should be, and those who have worked so hard for the comfort of others may have their Thanksgiving Day free. This is the way the school children of Augusta have been doing for several years past. It is the way they will do Tuesday, and there is not a mother in the city who will not take plefTSure in letting h little ones have something from the home pantry for this special occasion. Some of the schools give a contribution of money, each scholar bringing a few cents which when put together makes a neat little sum that frequently goes far to re lieve distress. A CRANK’S THANKSGIVING Walt Mason, in the November Ameri can, has the following clever “Crank's Thanksgiving.” LU|c others, I’m grateful for plenty to eat; I’m fond of a plateful of rich tur key meat. For pies in the cupboard, and coal in the bin, for tires that are rub bered, and motors that spin; for all of my treasures, for all that I earn, for comforts and pleasures, my thanks I re turn. I'm glad that the nation is greasy and rich, acquiring high station with .nary a hitch; her barns are a-bursting with mountains of grain; her people ar»- thirsting for glory and gain. She’ll ne’e backward linger, this land of our dads, for she is a dinger at nailing the scads. I’m glad that our vessels bring cargoes across, while counting rooms wrestle with profit and loss; that men know the beauties of figures and dates, and tariffs and duties, and railway rebates. I’m glad there are dreamers not in dustry-drunk, surrounded by schemers whose god is the plunk. I’m glad we’ve remaining incompetent jays, not always a-straining, in four hundred ways, to rur. dpwn and collar one big rouble more, to add to the dollar they nailed just before. I’m glad there are writers more proud of their screeds than board of trade fighters of options and deeds. I’m glad STYLISH WHITE SWEATERS FOR LADIES.

A THANKSGIVING BAZAAR. Every year a certain club in a nearby town gives a Thanksgiving bazaar; It is held for two days before Thanksgiving and has proven a great boon to the housewives, especially to those who have no servants. Hore one can buy all sorts of Thanksgiving pies and cakes, turkeys all ready stuffed, cranberry-jelly molded in pretty forms, baked beans, home, made candies and many oilier things nil ready for the Thanksgiving table. It Is wonderful how well this bazaar is pat ronized, especially by those who are giv ing family parties on ttiat day. One young lady makes It ft point, for a arnall sum, to give suggestions for the decora tion of the table and the house for tho occasion; nnd there are kept on hand a few things suitable for table decora lions that are sold for a very moderate price. Any woman's club wishing to make some money will And this an excel lent plan to follow, or an individual who wants to make a little money can con duct such a bazaar on a somewhat smal ler scale. PREPARES FOR ATLANTIC TRIP Backed By German “Sports” He Will At tempt To Cross From Teneriffe To United States in His Aeroplane. 7 BERLIN. —Joseph Brucker, the ! American aeronaut, whose daring pro ject to fly across the Atlantic in an ! airship was announced a short time ago, has reached Berlin from Frank fort-on-the-Main, where Dr. Gaus Fa . Price, among others, interested him self in the undertaking. In Becidh lie has enlisted the practical help of various well to do sportsmen. Pro i vided Brucker intends seriously to carry out his daring scheme, be will start from Teneriffe at the end of May, 1910. The car will consist of a completely airtight motor boat, to which the airship of 6.000 cubic me tres capacity will be attached. Mr. Brucker Intends returning soon to the United States, to make pre parations for the flight. Trials are to be made In Europe on the Starn- j berger Lake near Munich, before the j 5,000 kilometre Journey from Ten eriffe to the United States is under taken. Make friends with your hens. Do not treat them roughly, if they chance to get In your way. If tlie hens’ appetite Is poor try n change of food anything different from the very-day sameness. When dressing chickens for mar ket, let them lie In cold water for a short time after the feathers have been plucked. A few old-fashioned nails dropped in the drinking fountain will take the place of iron, and aid in keeping the blood in good condition. Chronic Catarrh Is A Blood Disease Which Can Never Bo Cured by the Use of Atomizers, Douches, Snuffs, Or Other Local Treatments. Long ago physicians found out that the very prevalent disease called ca tarrh was not primarily a local trou ble, but a systemic or constitutional blood disorder Instead. For many years before tills discovery, people were In the habit of using all kinds of local applications In their efforts to cure the catarrh, and they never succeeded in obtaining more than temporary relief. When the Mood Is absolutely pure, catarrh cannot exist, but when It be comes (Hied with Impurities through faulty elimination, the mucous mem brane, which lines all the Internal or gans of the body, and normally se cretes a clear, soothing fluid, becomes inflamed, and the mucus fluid changes to an Irritating, poisonous excretion. People in this climate are very much subject to catarrh of tho throat and nose, especially In tho winter months, and the lining membrane of the air passages becomes congested and Inflamed, and this, together with an Impoverished condition of tho blood, produces tho flow of morbid catarrhal secretion. When the blood is Impure, It not only sends out the excess of Impuri ties through the pores In the shape of bolls, pimples and carbuncles, etc., hut very often eliminates them through the mucous membrane, also, and the result Is a catarrhal condition. In view of the foregoing facts, the ab surdity of attempting to cure catarrh through local applications, should he apparent to all. • STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS, the great blood-cleansing remedy, has been the means of curing thous ands of cases of catarrh, when all other remedies, both local arid gen eral, have utterly failed. The reason Is simple and easily explalmed. These little wafers contain calcium sulphide, and other powerful alternatives and blood-purifiers, which cleanse the blood current so thoroughly, and elim inate the system's poisons and impu rities so efficiently, that the catarr hal dTsi use lias nothing to live upon and thrive upon, and the result is, the complaint Is cured In a marvel ously short time. Stuart’s Calcium Wafers have, long enjoyed the repututlon of being the most powerful blood-cleaning, skin disease removing, and catarrh cure in existence. Persons who "catch cold” easily, and who are subject to any of the well-known symptoms of tills complaint, such as excessive se cretion of mucous in the throat and nasal cavity, hoarseness, Hnufflcs, coughs, frequent sneezing, etc., shofild use this powerful blood rem edy, and by purifying the system ab solutely, rid themselves permanently of catarrh, as well as of pimples, boils, blackheads, carbuncles arid other ex- i ternal Indications of Impoverished blood.
