Thanksgiving It is easy to be thankful when prosperity beams on you; when barns are filled with the
bounteous return of fertile acres; when health
is good ; when the year has kept you busy in the
sfcorj and factorv: when business has netted a
satisfactory return : when dividends have been
declared regularly on your investments; when death has. spared your family ; when honors have been heaped upon you, in short, when all material things have gladdened your heart. But what should be the attitude of mind and the disposition of heart when adversity has pressed heavily in the last year? Is there anything to be thankful for under the adverse conditions of life? Should bitterness, depression, railing against fortune, dissatisfaction and pessimism sway the heart? Religion and philosophy give the same answer. There is much to be thankful for. It is hard to reconcile ourselves to the doctrine of being happy and thankful even in the hour of the deepest adversity, when the soul is in the darkest abyss of gloom and despair. The true worth of a. man and the trneHest of a character never show themselves in the sea
sons of sunshine. In battle against obstacles in struggle against calamity, in . heroic Endurance in catastrophe, are the noblest elements -of a ;man deveJopedr". M he endures fhese, witbcposure of soul, he emerges out- ef thejetemor -and discord of the battle, a genuine hero," a' man," tried and tested by fire and steel and found not wanting. "Only the strong Have leave to strive, and suffer and achieve." Thanksgiving sentiment also brings thoughts of self examination and introspection. ..Even the most prosperous man, in 1915 has reason to ponder the worth of hVach1evemfrats,? the means used to attain success, and finally, the ultimate good in all human endeavor. Unless men and women have been made happier, communities improved by his presence, all the achievements of a successful man, in the last analysis, are a hollow mockery. William Faversham voices a noble Thanksgiving thought : .. . ..
"Let deeda spell our thanks for all the benedictions bestowed upon us.. Let the exposition of
that beautiful word, thanksgiving, "make this a nation strong in its resolve for righteousness; broad in its humanity; serene in its justice; humble in its helpfulness ; proud in its usefulness ; grateful in its blessing of material wealth ; greatest of all in its spiritual worth. "Let it stand aloof, if it can with honor, that it may serve others in the hour of their need,
sharing its abundance with the helpless and dis
tressed; vMay the children's children of this generation look back upon this time of strife and turmoil and give thanks, too, for their forebears, who, through the hours of darkness held aloft the beacon of promise, that the peoples of all the world might know that brotherhood still held sway upon this fair earth and that peace, contentment, and right living were a greater boon &&a$&ln the'-sunor the material 'wealth of all the ages." .

THE GOOD OLD TIMES. The pessimist is constantly bewailing the present condition of things and referring to the good old times as a summer day without a cloud. We will recall a few incidents of that golden age. In 1821 commissioners were in

WUCCl. i The ground was covered by a dense

form all the household duties herself without any modern conveniences.. The meals were cooked on the hearth beside the fire. The water was brought from a spring some distance from the house. Wood was the only fuel used, and the fires had to be replenished frequently. She had to do the sewing for the family, and spin the yarn that
rive and purchase lots. Then the work of clearing the ground began. Cabins were built and more immigrants came to the new capitol; but it was not until 1824 that the records and documents were transferred from Corydon through the wilderness. They were carried in a wagon and the journey was made in ten days, a distance of 124 miles. There was no road connecting the capitol with any other town or settlement. The legislature early made an appropriation for surveying and opening a road from Indianapolis to the eastern state line. This road passed through Richmond. It was merely an opening through the wilderness from which the trees were removed and the large stumps were burnt to the ground, many smaller stumps remaining. There was no attempt at drainage and the tail trees
on each side of the Toadj prevented
the 6un from drying the ground, consequently corduroy bridges were placed over the worst mud holes and the road was impassable for any kind of vehicle during the spring and fall rains.

A neighbor invited her to a rag 6ewing where her silver thimble was a subject of comment and when she attended church wearing a green veil and a belt fastened with a buckle of white pearl, the elders debated whether they could accept her letter of membership. The next day the minister called to expostulate with her for setting such an example of extravagance in d-ess. He thought it was not compatible with the character of a Christian woman. There was a class of more intelligent people in the village and among these the new-comer made many fast friends. The village had no adequate drain-
A FINE TREATMENT FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE
Catarrh is. such an liislfltotis-.disease
and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment should be understood by all. Science has fully proved that Catarh is a constitutional disease and

ease further down the air passages and into the lungs. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness or head-noises; go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head-noises, clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and mucus stop dropping into the throat. This treatment has a slight tonic action which makes it especially effective in cases where the blood has become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasatn and costs little. Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease .should give this treatment a trial. Adv.

This road reached the western bank of Whitewater a.nd descended to the valley by way of a road cut in the hillside and which terminated just at the ford below where the Starr Piano factory is situated. This was one of the most reliable fords on the Whitewater. At this point the river flowed over a bed of limestone and as the east bank was low a freshet caused the water to spread over the valley without making the ford impassable. The road crossed the valley to the east side and ascended the hill at a steep incline, thence east to Front street, (now Fourth street,) north on Front to Main and east to he State line: All the travel on this road passed in front of John Smith's house. Before the state road was opened the early settlers at Indianapolis came to the mills on Whitewater for their flour and meal. This had to be transported through the wilderness on pack horses. In 1829 a gentleman left Richmond for Indianapolis. He was leading a horse that carried a side saddle. His neighbors shrewdly suspected that he would return with a bride. He was married the last of April, but did not attempt the return journey for several weeks as there were many streams to ford and the muddy road was almost impassable even for horses. Two nights were spent on the road and almost three days consumed by the journey. A detour had to be made by way of New Castle in order to find t safe ford for crossing. Finally they reached their cottage home on the south side of B street near the bluff, overlooking the river On the opposite side of the road the gentleman owned and operated a tar yard. This bride had been reared in Ken tucky and knew nothing of the dim culties that confronted her In her ne-K home. No permanent help could be secured for the household.

Throw Away Your Glasses -j. Like These People Have Done
Ifreryltody knows thai Uwwsends of people wear glasses they do net need and that thousands of others wear misfit glasses that do their eyes more harm than good. It is also known that many of them, by the use of a soothing . healing, cleansing lotion to tone up and strengthen the eyes can discard glasses entirely. The prescription used by the people who wrote these letter has brought relief to tens of thousands. A. G Luken Co. or any other druggist can fill it.

If your eyes are Inflamed or tired, irritated an& overworked; It they Itch or burn; if you ever use an eye water or a collyrlum, go to your druggist and get a tube of Optona tablets.

Opportunity Knocks at The Housekeeper's Door! Cleanliness goes hand in hand with civilization. Clean homes, clean bodies and clean minds make a great people. Woman has, in all ages stood for the "dean up standards of civilization. In ancient days she took the family wash down to the river, and after swashing it about, laid it down on a rock and swiped it hard with a club. This was the first "Woman's Club!" Then came the back-breaking scrubbing board of a more recent day. Tis said it was thought out by a savage chief who liked to see his wives suffer as much as possible. A sort of hygienic Bluebeard, who instead of chopping off the wife's head, broke her back and knocked her knuckles on the old washboard. To get away from the washboard required a device so simple the wonder was no one had ever thought of it before. To really get the dirt out of the clothes you must force the water and soap back and forth through the fabric. That loosens the dirt and carries it out of the goods, without any injury. When the principle was recently discovered, a number of vacuum washers were rushed to the market. Many were cheaply made of tin and poorly constructed. They sold but they wouldn't wash! After careful experimentation, a really good vacuum washer was perfected one that would actually put the suds water back and forth through the clothes and take out the dirt. Instead of the old fashioned bar soap you use the more economical 20 Mule Team borax soap chips, which works much better. And just think, you don't have to put jour hands in the water, and there isn't any boiling, soaking or scrubbing. It seems almost too good to be true, but it's really so. We have arranged to supply one of these wonderful vacuum washers at cost, with a purchase of 20 Mule Team Borax or 20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips. The washer will work perfectly and last for years and the borax, soap chips cost less to use than old fashioned soap. Authorized representatives are now in this vicinity, exhibiting the washer and explaining the simple method of using it with the inexpensive borax soap chips. One will probably call at your house and it will be weU worth your while to examine this wonderful little machine it is wonderfully simple and simply wonderful! "See it by all means! You can tell when the authorized representative calls by remembering the name, "20 Mule Team Vacuum Washer" and "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips." No doubt the name and fame of the "20 Mule Team" Borax Products are already familiar to you.
