THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING. Among; other pleasant and good.
things America was singularly fortunate In the fact that the day of
Thanksgiving came over in the May
flower, else who knows but the day might have stayed in England and we
would have been much the poorer,
From Its email and humble start in the New England Colonies it is now
the heritage of every true American
"What heart does not soften a trifle on this day of . turkey and cranberry
sauce? What heart does not come to
a realization of the many good things
which he has and stop moaning and
groaning about the things which he
haa not? He is a pretty poor sort of
man If he does not. There can not
Te found anywhere on this earth a
man who no matter how poor his lot.
haa not something to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving was put into the cal
endar at a very fortunate time. It
comes right after harvest every year
and every four years it comes after the presidential election so that in every case the majority of people have omethlng to be thankful for. Then, too, although the stern founders of the day did not think of it. It is a fine preparation for the great festival of Christmas. It is a preliminary heat
to start the blood a flowing and to warm our hearts with that antidote of selfishness. Good Cheer. But there is another aspect of Thanksgiving. While we are busy enumerating the many things for which we have cause to be thankful It is our duty to look around at our less fortunate friends, our neighbors, and "the stranger within our gates." Let us not spend the day in self congratulation alone, nor leave that day to pass without giving someone else something to be thankful for of your own doing. Else thai day is lost Thanksgiving is everybody's day, and on that day we should thank God for it. It is a day of the home and even if our bodies do not travel homeward on that festival, our thoughts do. It is a day when the humblest
and the poorest of us may be richer
than the wealthy. , "Some hae meat and canna' eat. And some wad eat who want it But we hae meat and we can eat So let the Lord be thankit." And as the good day of Thanksgiv
ing ends and night brings us "to our resting beds weary and content and
undishonored," look out into the night
and see the calm unchangeable stars
and feel how small a part of the unl
verse you really are and what a great share of the world's pleasure and good cheer is yours. Or if the night Is dark and cold and the stars are hid from view, and the wind whistles
shrill around the eaves and the chim
neys, it is quite likely that you will
say to yourself, "It is good to be at
home."
"Into thy calm eyes, O Nature, I look
and rejoice;
Prayerfully, I add my one note to the
' Infinite voice.
As Bhlning and singing and sparkling
glides on the glad day,
And eastward, the swift-rolling planet
wheels into the gray."
THE NAVAL HIKE. The order has gone forth from the executive mansion that from now on the officers must go out on fifty mile hikes every bo often. This of course is to keep the army from getting too sore over the enforced horse back rides which every officer is obliged to make. Of course the cavalry test was impossible as the navy has a horror of being classed with the historic Captain Jencka of the Horse Marines. They do not care to be "sea farmers." And yet the tendency is undeniable
that the navy is getting nearer to the
"prairie schooner" and the "corn field
sailor." From now on we may look for more cordial relations between
these two branches of the service.
By long practice in tacking port and starboard over a ten acre lot, the navy
may be able to get off a sandbar with
less difficulty, to say nothing of
learning to navigate across a seven hundred foot deck.
Of course if we all knew German,
we would have no trouble in picking out the Tillmans, LaFollettes and
Cannon's in the Reichstag.
The continuation of the warm weather will allow the merchants to dispose of peek-a-bo lingerie as Christmas gifts.
San Francisco must be forcibly reminded of the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Such things have happened before.
Thanksgiving is good for the temper or the long suffering American people would never stand the turkey Joke.

STILL WILLING. The latest interview with Mr. W. J
Bryan discloses the fact that he is undecided as to whether or not he
will be a candidate in 1912 or not
that will depend entirely, says Mr.
Bryan on the circumstances. Of
course if there should be an over
whelming call for him he will sacrifice his own interests and may be persuaded to run for the fourth time, and in this prophecy we are. borne out by
his past record for when has he re

Man Is As Old
As His Stomach
99
This Persian Epigram Is tVie
Gauge of a Man's Life.
Real
The Persians were a very sagacious
people, noted among other things, for their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom of their thought.
When a man's stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system as
fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires, then such a man lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease a man's stomach begins to tax the
other organs and takes from the blood strength which it cannot give back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man and he decays fast. The stomach is strong;, splen
didly strong and can stand an untold
amount of abuse and neglect, but when it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons of
good rich blood every year to the sys
tem, and draws only CSO lbs of nourisment for Its own use. If, however, the food which it receives cannot be
turned into blood which is capable of
use by the body, then the stomach receives no help from the other organs
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the! most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same time
the most powerful. They will mix with the poisonous juices of a sick
stomach and digest food in spite of
this handicap.
- They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal, including
those of the stomach.
A single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 3,000 times
its weight in mixed fooa.
They have stood the test of time and today are more sought after than
all their imitators combined. They are used and endorsed by 40,
000 physicians.- Every druggist sella

"Jack" Ross for Congressman
Little Town of Andersonville Nestled in Corner of Four Coun
ties Names Citizen as a Successor to Barnard.
Andersonville, a little town that
claims Franklin county as its location,
but is nestled in the corner of four counties has come to the front with the first announcement of a congres
sional candidate for 1910. The Andersonville Four County Herald has announced A. J. Ross should have the honor of carrying the banner of republicanism in the Sixth district two
years hence. The Han. A. J. Ross is
known more familiarly as "Jack" Ross.
The Herald says of him: "He is a
man whose attachment to the G. O. P. has never been questioned; well edu
cated; firm and resolute in his con
victions of right and wrong; of un
questionable ability; a thorough law student; a good judge of men and conditions; known well and favorably among people all over the district and in the recent campaign developed a political Insight oratory, and acumen that surprised even his best and closest friends. His speeches during the late unpleasantness, were by far better than even those of the speakers sent out by the National committee, and were very effective. He prov
ed himself conservant with the political situation and knew just how to show It to others. In fact Ross is not
a biased partisan, but possesses all the characteristics of the man we
need to represent us in the dusty, but
illustrious halls of congress.
FLORENCE BREAKS UPL0VER S SUIT

Columbus, Ind., Nov. 25. "Why. how do you do, Mr. Prince? How are your wife and children?" A harmless enough salutation seemingly, yet it was the undoing of Evry Prince, of Seymour, a real estate man. The words were spoken by Miss Florence Green at a social at Ellzabethtown last night and were the first intimation that Miss Cordia Smith, daughter of Rev. W. F. Smith, pastor of the Elizabethtown M. E. church, had that the man with whom she sat chatting and who had been paying court to her since July was married.
Headaches and Neuralgia from Colds. LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine, the world wide Cold and Grip remedy, removes cause. Call for full name. Look for signature E. W. GROVE, 25c.
Easy to Imitate.
Those who like to think that things were better in the "old days" than they are now will find it bard to disagree with the following anecdote from -Judge: A newly married couple had had a little disagreement about the muffins. The husband complained that those his mother used to make were far superior. This moved the girl to action, and the next day she set before him a plate of hot rolls which she boldly bade him taste. "Now yon have hit it!" he exclaimed enthusiastically. "These are exactly like what mother used to make. How did you do it?" "I will give you the recipe,' replied the bride coldly. "I used oleomargarine for butter, cold storage eggs, pat alum in the flour and added chalk and water to the milk. Your mother lived before the pure food laws."
BURIAL ASSOCIATIONS HITBY RULING
Indiana Supreme Court Places
Disapproval Upon Them.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 25. The Su
preme court put its stamp of disap
proval on the mutual burial associations formed in many parts of the state by undertakers. The court handed down an opinion in the case against Matt Wlllett, of Greenfield. The judgment of the lower court court quashing an affidavit against Willett charging him with the violation of the statute forbidding the receiving of any application for life insurance in favor of a person not having a bona fide insurable interest in his life, and who is not related to him within the degree of first cousin, was reversed.

In the British army there is a demand that the excessive smoking of cheap and bad cigarettes be discouraged or prevented. In several battalions efforts are being made in this direction so as to lessen the practice among the young soldiers. In one battalion company officers are -enjoined to have an order against the cigarette read out at every parade. Pipe smoking is not yet under the baa.
FOREST FIRE SWEPT OVER HUNDREDS OF ACRES Blaze Near Orange Has Been Extinguished.
RushvUle, Ind., Nov. 25. A forest fire that has just been extinguished near Orange, swept over 400 acres of land, burning fences, out buildings, grass, leaves and young timber. The blaze is supposed to have been caused by a cigar stub thrown in a pile of leaves. The fire gained great headway and traveled like a genuine prairie fire. Neighbors assembled to fight the flames, but could not prevent the destruction of the grove of young timber. The fire started last Saturday and was not stamped out until Tuesday.

THE DANCER. SIGNAL. Ware the red lights, young man! The engineer of the limited keeps bis eyes on the far stretching parallel of the shining rails in front of him. Out of the darkness he sees a glint ot lurid red. Instantly the throttle is closed, and his band is on the lever that will reverse his engine. The swift telegram of the red lights spells "Danger!" The sullen red lamp swings by the door of the "buffet" whose other narae is saloon. If you enter you may say, "Surely this place is dedicated to the service of ball and fellowship." If you stay hilarity will succeed good fellowship, and carousal en the heels
of hilarity. After a time the men who clash glsssss begin to "see red" the danger signal. And "at the last it blteth like a serpent and stlngetb like an adder." Heed the red lamp's warning
and enter not at alL Wars the red lights! The crimson gleams shine thickly
down in the slams. The women with poison In her veins, the woman "whose
feet take hold on hell" she has sold
her soul to Satan; she sells her body
to fools for hire. The sputter of the red lights tells the wise man that disease and death abide within, and he
passes by. Ware the red lamps! The gambler puts his red lights upon the inside because he is a lawless man. He will take your money and promise you your chance. He is a liar. He is also a thief. He will patter about a Square deal and rob yon rob yon of your money, of your hopes, of your character. His heart is stone. He will squeeze you dry, as he would squeeze an orange and throw away the rind. Ware the red lights! Look for the white lights. The white lights brightly burn where marts of trade abound, over hives of Industry, from doors of warehouse and factory. Where so many white lights shine, why look for the red? The white lights of home! What cheerful Invitations, what friendly welcome! They shine In the place of rest and happiness and peace. There is here no barter, no sale of fleeting pleasure. There is hers no beast of unhallowed passion to rend and ruin. Ware the red lights! Look for the white lights. And when all the lights of earth shall fade away your dim eyes will
catch a gleam of the great white light shining from the windows of your eternal home.
Colon, Nov. 25. Owing to the ex
ceptionally heavy rainfalls of the last
three weeks the arth on the crest of
the Gatun dam has settled in certain places.
The Gatun dam, which is designed to hold in check the waters of the Chagres river, was in the beginning
50 feet wide. It has now been ex
tended to a length of 300 feet In view of the existing conditions the settlement of the dam was expected. The reason is the heavy weight of the embankment. There is nothing to do to prevent this falling in and it will have to continue. There have been other settlements in
the vicinity of the dam at Gatun, an4 the rains have resulted, furthermore, in several landslides in the Culebra cut The railroad track is Inundated on both sides for a distance of several miles, but transit has not been Impeded. One portion of the Gatun dam sank 60 feet, permitting the Chagres river, which was dammed at this point to overflow the railroad track. On Sunday one train on this track passed through 16 Inches ot water. The official record of the rainfall at Colon this month is 28 inches, the highest record for the same period in many years.
The Value of Good Digestion Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value, by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia
A banner bearing the words "Votes for Women," has recently been set up on the highest peak in the State of Washington by the Miss Kangleys, formerly of Colorado. By leaving Paradise valley, where they had been camping, early in the morning accompanied only by one guide, they were able to reach the top of Mount Rainier before night There, in a driving snowstorm, they set up the banner on alpenstocks, and after taking several photographs of it - folded it up again and took it back to camp with them. They intend to set up the same banner another year in the crater.

Kodol insures good digestion by absolutely duplicating Nature's normal process, in perfectly digesting all food taken Into the stomach. While Kodol is doing this, the stomach is resting and becoming strong and healthy. A strong and healthy stomach guarantees a sound and active brain. The man with a sound stomach a stomach that is doing for the body Just what Nature intended it to do is the man who is always prepared for any emergency. He is "there with the goods." The man with a sick stomach, is a man sick all over. When the stomach is irritated by undigested food, the blood and heart are directly affected. Then dullness, unnatural sleepin' i. sick-headaches, vertigo and fa ting spells, and even serious bn. a trouble develop. Kodol will prevent these. Spurring the stomach and brain
to special effort by "tonics" and "stimulants" doesn't core anything, or accomplish any good. Neither does dieting. Indigestion and the serious ailments which It Induces can be averted and corrected only by natural means. Kodol supplies this natural means. It performs the stomach's work for it just as the stomach should perform it while the stomach takes a little rest "for the stomach's sake." - Our Guarantee Oe to your iraggint today and got !- lar bottle.
