Today we have every reason to be grateful that we may be listed with the nations that are allied on the' side of humanity and justice against tyranny and despotism. If our new alliance costs fortune and blood, let the sacrifice be made. No great forward step in the history of the race , was ever accomplished without the expenditure of man power and fortune.

A Thanksgiving Thought

Now let us thank the Eternal Power; convinced That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction That oft the cloud which wraps the present hour Serves but to brighten all oar future days. j John Brown. i

! Thanksgiving Day What have we Americans to be thankful for today? .' ' Perhaps the question has flashed through the minds of many Americans. -' We wonder what Providence has done for us in the past year to arouse a spirit of gratitude in our souls. Seemingly we have more to cavil

against, more to be distressed about, more to bet

discouraged about, and less , to be thankful for, less occasion for a spirit of gratitude than in former years. I For the first time in our history, we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day with thousands of our brothers and sons fighting on European soil, far from familiar scenes and their daily vocations. For the first time in our history we have been called on to raise tremendously large sums of money to finance a military undertaking whose

season of, sacrifice that does not harmonize very well with th? spirit of Thanksgiving Day. Have we reason to be thankful?

i . Our entrance into the war is a subject for which we may be devoutly thankful. For the first time in our history we have been permitted to enter into a conflict that will settle forever whether the race is to be led to a higher plane of civilization or whether we. will permit it to retrograde to the levej that makes MIGHT the dom

passion,' We are factors in that gigantic issue. Truly a great privilege, provocative of our deepest gratitude. r ' This war has given us a-new avenue of service. President Wilson in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation struck this as the dominating tone, and the American people will do well to ponder its i significance as it pertains to their national life. Thanksgiving Days in the last four decades did not drive home the great spiritual message of

the day. To be sure, we ceased work, we laid i aside business cares, but we did not thank Providence for our blessings. We were surfeited with prosperity and happiness, and so gratitude and appreciation found little place in our souls. The;

Undoubtedly, there may b some that are, but on the other hand, there are many proprietary remedies that are as standard as any prescription that any present day physician can write, and in thousands of homes you will find these old, reliable remedies in every day use with satisfactory results.
