This does not indicate that they are opposed to the Commission form of govern- ment, but believe that the proposed charter would not be much of an im- provement over the present system. The document passed upon by the voters Tuesday has numerous weak spots from the angle of those op- posing it, and the supporters also conceed that it is not entirely flaw- less. Bemldjl has demonstrated that it will consider fairly and reasonably a charter built along commission form lines. The charter supporters are already talking of a new com- mission, believing that the next one drawn up will meet with popular fa- vor. They are by no means discour- aged. The fact that the Socialists and the present administration op- posed it, added materially to the strength of those who have acquired the habit of opposing any and all re- forms. With the past experience it “will be no problem to draw up a charter better and broader than the one just voted upon, and for those who believe In taking a step in this direction, enough suggestions have been made by Bemidji politicians to give us a form of government that will ap- proach the millennium as far as may be possible upon this old earth. THE HORN OF PLENTY AS A SYMBOL OF THANKSGIVING. The cornucopia, or horn of fruitful- ness and abundance, always used by the Greeks and Romans as the symbol of plenty, is an apt expression of the sentiment that prevails on Thanksgiv- ing day. Filled with fruits and flow ers, It makes one of the most charming of centerpieces for the Thanksgiving dinner table. The contents should be arranged so that the cornucopia is over flowing, the fruits and flowers running out of the horn and over the table. A cornucopin may be made of wire covered with silk, or again with linen, or It might be made of cardboard. on which vines or autumn leaves are sewed. The leaves of the galax, which do not fade, could be used, although one should prefer the beautiful black- berry vine, which at this season Is al- ways at its best in color. The leaves of the vine should be made to run up toward the mouth of the horn and trail about its edges. suggesting a horn being wound about with them. Flow- ers, too, should fall.about the brim so that fidelity to the original idea might be preserved. tions, is the prayer of Robert Lonis Stevenson. the poet, writ- t ten daring his last illness in Sa- e A Thanksgiving Prayer. 300D thing to read on Thanks- giving day. if one feels that the trials and tribulations of the year outweigh the compensa- moa. It breathes the very es- sence of the Thanksgiving spirit. Here it is: “We thank thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the tomorrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright shies that make our lives delightful ; for our friends in all parts of the earth.” Goose and Turkey Rivals. The goose may soon replace the clas- sic bird which now forms the apex of most Thanksglving feasts if the ad- vice of some food experts is followed According to them, the turkey is im mature before Christmas. being put through a system of forcing to get to the proper weight und fatness. While its flesh is all right as far as health goes, its flavor s not at its best until Christmas, when It really becomes the king of fowls. On the other hand, the flesh of the goose has reached its per fection at Thanksgiving time. Pride Goes Before a Fall. “Stop!” The word was hissed by a goose just as a gobbler twith all sails set strutted by. But the proud bird, intent on ad- miring his own plumage, ignored the command. “Humph," sniffed the envious an- serine. “He's all puffed up because he heard the farmer say Thanksgiving would be his day to enter soclety.” Auto Insurance Reduced.

Wheri you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much medt, says a well- known authority. Meat forms uri acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. Whén your kidneys get slug- glsh and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your. bowels; remov- | ing’all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the wea- ther is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. : Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoontul in a glass of water. before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acie of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for zenerations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer - frritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad salts ts a life saver for regu- lar meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delight- ful, effervescent lithia-water drink.
