PMas Luella Adams @ patients lying : 3 on snow white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera- tions made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had aie of warning in that bearing down eeling, pain at the left or rightof the womb, nervous exaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrkwa, dizzi- ness, flatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of ay un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not heeded the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous opera- tion, and a lifetime of impaired useful- ness at best, while In many cases the results are fatal. The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams,of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wasb., writes: gre a: akin — I ° it two years wass it suf. ferer froma sorte fonela trouble, a4 and headaehes. Thedoctor prescribed formeand finally told me that I had a tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get wall. I felt that this was m: death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dol- lars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corres with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu- mors. I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and I was ‘entirel, cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every woman would try this great preparation.” Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers | from womb troubles, inflammation of | the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. Address, Lynn, Mass. Reading. A professor had been summoned as an expert witness in a case involving the ownership of a tract of coal land. “If thou are blest rest If thou art sad, gla ® came too late,” . to Eat." Although days of especially for the fruits of the earth, have been customary in all ages of thanksgiving, the world and in connection with every torm of religion, Thanksgiving day as an annual harvest home and family reunion under Christian aus- pices is a purely American institu- tion and, outside of New England, is of comparatively recent origin. As a national holiday it began in the hea? and heart of Abraham Lin- coln, who proclaimed Nov. 26, 1863, as a thanksgiving day for the simul- taneous victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg on July 4 and for the abundant harvests of. that year, and "Nov. 24, 1864, as a thanksgiving day for similar blessings, There had been other. days set “I will ask you, professor,” said the attorney for the prosecution, “if the geological formation of this land cor- responds with the published data per- taining thereto?” “It does, sir,” he answered, “You have thoroughly read up the geology of the tract in question?” “T have not.” “You have not?” “No, sir.” “T ask the jury to notice that the wit- ness flatly contradicts himself. Now, sir, if you haven’t read up the geology involved in this case, why do you pre- tend to know anything at all about it?” “Because, sir,” said the professor, “in studying geological formations it is my invariable custom to read down.” BABY CAME NEAR DYING From an Awful Skin Humor— Scratched Till Blood Ran— Wasted to a Skeleton— Speedily Cured hy - Cuticura. 7“ “When three months old my boy broke out with an itching, watery rash all over his body, and he would seratch till the blood ran. We tried nearly everything, but he grew worse, wasting to a skeleton, and we feared he would die. He slept only when in our arms. The first application of Cuticura soothed him so that he slept in his cradle for the first time in many weeks. One set of Cuticura made a complete and permanent cure. (Signed) Mrs. M. C.

JOHNSON & CO., Boston, Mass. apart for thanksgiving during the war, but these were the first: of the unbroken series in the month of No- vember. President Johnson con- tinued the custom out of respect for Mr. Lincoln, and it has been instinc- tively recognized by every president since. In several states the gover- nors also make coincident proclama- tions. Though at present mostly a hal- lowed memory, Thanksgiving day, when it was in its prime, was one of the noblest and most. delightful things in American civilization. Time was when on this day all the churches. were thronged with cheerful and de- vout worshipers, and the ministers, speaking from bowers of corntops and sheaves of wheat and .pyramids of pumpkins and red apples, moved every heart by their tribute to the divine goodness, From the religious temples the peo- ple turned to the family altars, where the fires of filial. devotion burned just as briskly. The mem- bers of the household assembled. some of them from remote localities, to look into the changed counte- nances of “the old people”. perhaps for the last time, sat down to a roy- al feast of good things, the greatest feast of all being the revived and overflowing family affections and the tnextinguishable attachment to the family hearthstone. That was Amer- tean civilization in its flower and fruit- age. As long as our people are a home- loving people, as long as filial and fraternal love are aflame and as long as we will cross mountains and tray- erse continents to gather once more at the old family homestead, to drop a tear for the departed and to receive the embrace of those who survive, our institutions are safe. Those who have reached middle life can not but regret the partial de- cadence of Thanksgiving day within their own recollection. In our day it is Httle more than a secular holiday devoted to athletic sports. The sec- ular holiday and the athletic sports are, of course, good things in them- selves, but it is not,pleasant to see them take the place of an admirable and invaluable social custom. It is a comfort to reflect that far from the maddening crowd of the great city, in numberless quiet vil- lages and country homes, Thanksgiv- ing day is still observed in all its original’ glory| and beauty. All Bend the Knee to the Turkey. See how all the world bends the knee to the great turkey! “Bends the knee” because it is impossible to seat itself at the festal board in any other fashion! See how it has superseded even the peacock, for so long king*of the festal board. In that peacock’s native land of India the Hindoo now regales himself upon imported Ameri- ean turkey. About 1541 when De Soto was declaring to his followers that he would “see gold or die in poverty” our American bird was intro- duced into Europe. Poor De Soto, lost in the wilds of the Carolinas, no doubt would have ‘been hungry- but for the Oc-coo-coo gobbling in the trees above his head.’ This was the musical name given the wild turkey by the native Indians. The white- faces vacillated between Bubbling Jock and Turkey, the latter name winnin, THANKSGIVING SENTIMENTS Then let the sunshine of thy gladness On the dark edges of each cloud that lies Black in thy brother's skies.

Smith in “What There is every year by custom and by proclamation of president and governors a\day of Thanksgiving. Up- on this day the American nation of- fers to the throne of Divine Grace its prayerful thanks and sings peans of praise for the many bounties and blessings that have been bestowed upon our people. True, in this great world there may be some who are un- able to look back and point with pride and thankfulness to many acts and things connected with their lives, but goodness always exceeds the bad and the world is constantly growing bet- ter and brighter. Opportunities are increasing and men are not slow to take advantage of them. The prayers of praise for the bene- fits of the past and the prayers of supplications for other. blessings to follow will be heeded by the Deity and his constant care extended toward us. No cataclysm of crime can erad- ‘icate from man the belief that he is the creature of a supernatural power and intelligence. The tendency of scientific research is to strengthen this belief by making more manifest the wondrous works of God. It may be considered doubtful if the belief im man’s divine origin was ever en- tirely obliterated from any human mind. ‘With this belief firmly planted in the hearts and homes of this great American nation and mindful of the true source of all earthly power and blessings, it is fitting that in the tem- ples erected by our people in which to worship God according to the dic- tates of their, own conscience, that they should meet together on this day and give praise to ‘Him who watches over us. The Thanksgiving Oocoocoo. The original name of the turkey was Oocoocoo, by which it was known by the native Cherokee Indians. It is supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers, roaming through the woods in search of game for their first Thanksgiving spread heard the Oocoocoo calling in the familiar tones of our domesticated fowl, “Turk, turk, turk.” These first Yankee huntsmen, mistaking _ this cry of the bird for its real song, im- mediately labelled it “turkey,” and turkey it is to this day. Much more beautiful and musical was the Indian name, “Oo-coo-coo,” the notes peculiar to the flock when sunning themselves in perfect content on the river beach- es.—Sunset Magazine. Primitive Pilgrim Feasts. It is supposed that our Pilgrim parents were whetting their appe- tites upon wild turkey at the very moment when the news of their pos- sible ultimate starvation reached Eng- land. It must have been terrible in- deed on the approach of winter, with few and imperfect firearms at com- mand, for these desperate Puritans to knock live gobbling turkeys off. the |) trees and make a meal of them!

Like many other men of genius, Sir | Henry Irving had sudden periods of absent-mindedness, which means, says Mr. Marshall P. Wilder, the popular American entertainer and lecturer, in his book, “The Sunny Side of the Street,” that his mind is for the time being not only not absent, but, on the contrary, is entirely present, and work- ing at the rate of an hour a minute. One day while we were driving to- gether he turned to me and said: “Marshall, I have a Story you can add to your repertoire—a very quaint one.” Then he went into deep thought, and we had gone fully a block before he spoke again. Then he saja: “And you know—* Then we went another block, then, farther; but.suddenly he asked: “Now wasn’t that droll?” “It certainly was,’ ’continues Mr. Wilder, no matter what it was. But Sir Henry Still owes me the story, for he had told it only to himself.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness—these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctor’s treatment serves but to weaken the dis- eased organs. The new tonic method of treating dis- orders of this kind does not aim to do the work of the stomach, does not demand that the food be pre-digested, but builds up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kausas, says: ‘‘l 9 we were living on a farm in this neigh- borhood, I became generally debilitated as the result of overwork. I hadserions indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered from a sense of suffocation and from ob- struction of the circulation, so that arti- ficial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for months without find- ing any relief, I tried a box of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills of which [ had read in a newspaper. ‘The first few boxes made me lots better, and after using the third hox I felt entirely well. “TI am now in excellent health and am able not only to take care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured me and I can recom- mend them. They are so simple, so easily taken and so prompt in their ac- tion.”’ Remember Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body.
