There is as much difference between cheap and quality ranges as there is between cotton and silk. Women who are now using <or who have ever examined the Great Majestic Range no longer believe “just any” range will do. The Great Majestic “The Range with a Reputation,” is the standard all over the United States, (in fact it is sold in all parts of the world); it is built on honor, of malleable and charcoal iron. Malleable iron cannot break, charcoal iron resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel-- it’s cold rivited throughout and practically air tight—lined with asbestos board. It bakes perfectly, 9 heats an abundance of water. quickly and hot; uses very little fuel, is easy to keep clean, costs practically nothing for repairs, and properly handled lasts a lifetime. Y ' Be discriminating. Know why the Majestic is so highly recommended by every user. Let the factory representative show you the range from top to bottom, inside and outside -he will gladly do so if you will call unng the demonstration. The information gained may serve you in the future.

FLOODS HALT TEUTONS

BERLIN SAYS CAMPAIGN IN FLANDERS IS STOPPED. Bodies of Engineers Are Engaged in Repairing Dykes and Constructing Pontoon Bridges. 3y FREDERICK WERNER. International News Service Correspondent. Berlin, via Amsterdam, Nov 20. — Though temporarily Halted in their campaign to gain the French coast by the floods caused by the cutting of dykes in the Yser valley, the Germans are meeting this emergency as they have met others, with forces provided for such an occasion. Bodies of engineers numbering seven thousand men have been taken to the Dixmude front during the ' last week and are engaged in closing the gaps in the dykes and constructing pontoon bridges on which the infantry can cross the inundated country Brief details of a heroic exploit by a company of German cavalry were received here today Soldiers swam their horses for miles through the icy water at night and took by surprise a body of English troops guarding a position near Dixmude. Though astonished bly the sudden appearance of the German troopers, the British soldiers fought desperately to hold their position. They were finally driven cut, however, and the Germans have 'dug themselves in” at that point and are holding it against every attack. While the floods are interfering with eperations along the front from the coast to Ypres the German troops are strengthening their positions from Ypres and farther south. West of St Quentin and Roys thtjy have gained ground, it is announced here, by continually hammering away at the allies' line. This has been bent at several points, but no smashing attack on any one position has been made, as piercing of the enemy’s Jront in this region would have no important result while the French and British troops maintain their positions on the Ypres-Ar-mentieres front

THE TRUE THANKSGIVING.

By Rev. Dr. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF or Philadelphia.

• It is well that our fathers fcr»- ) stituted the day of Thanksgiv- . ing on which to be made conscious of the countless blessings | that surrounded thtm and of • their many obligations to render praise and thanksgiving to . the author of them all. In re- • turn for God’s mercy we should * think of those in our midst not . so blessed as we and give them •\glso opportunity for being \ thankful and for rejoicing. The . truly grateful feels that God • does not lavish his blessings upon the earth so that a few . may enjoy a great abundance * while others live jn want. It is * wrong for one to enjoy the feast * and for another to endure the j* fast. C The truest joy is that which springs from bringing joy to £ others. The truest gratitude is !. in that act which gives to others - the opportunity for being grateI* ful. The’truest wealth is that |. which kindness stores up in the [* heart of the sorrowing and sufj* sering. Our nbblest acquisitions L live only in our charity.

A WORLD THANKSGIVING.

Why Should America Have Monopoly of the Holiday? 'This being tbe Thanksgiving season, it should lie the proper time to ask why the United States of America has a monopoly on the celebration of a day of thanks to the supreme Giver for the blessings be lias conferred. Why is there not a day of universal thanks, when all the civilized nations of the earth could get together for obe day and proffer their thanks for the blessings they have received? Every civilized nation recognizes a supreme Ruler and Author of all good, and Christian, Jew, Mohammedan, Buddhist and Coufucian could unite for one day at least in the brotherhood of thankfulness. It would be a beautiful idea if we in America who instituted this day of thanks cotild pass its spirit all ardund the world and know that on this day, when we pause a while to offer thanks, every other natiou was doing tbe same. That would be a unity which lias never yet,been attained, but of which no man of any faith can give any good and sufficient reason for its nonexistence. There is absolutely no argument against a day of universal thanks, and if anybody—Jew or gentile—can object to it 1 should like to know the nature of his objection. The feeling of gratefulness is a common heritage of mankind, and, as it is, why should mankind hesitate to., become a unit in its -

Praise God for wheat so white and sweet of which to make our bread! Praise God for yellow corn with which his waiting world is fed! Praise God for fish and flesh end fowl he gave to man for food! Praise God for every creature which ho made and called it good! Praise God for winter's store of tee; praise God for summer’s heat! Praise God for fruit tree bearing seed! “To you it is for meat.” Praise God for all the bounty by which the world is fed! Praise God, his children all, to whom he gives their daily bread. —Edward Everett Hale.
