If you look for the root of the mat- ter in the life stream we call “the blood,” may be you can do something towands self-treatment. & First you must understand what we eat becomes what wé are in the process of time. Jamette also savs, decomposi- tion jg the rule when ‘“catarrh” sits back and sulks, and I thin¥ the same about ‘indigestion, the mucous that is absorbed into the system at such times sets up a “gin mill,” of intoxication that beats that made of hands. Over eating is the best little falry in the home circle of indigestion. You wanted I should tell you what to eat. Eat vegetables, fruit between meals, you know the old saying, an ap- ple a day keeps the doctor away—an onion a day keeps evervbody away. But just the same I have a lot of faith in the homely onfon. Tt is a laxative for some. Use bread made of bran and eat sparingly, but remember this is an every day affair. Walk 30 minutes every day lighted candles, with: a bowl of golden fruit at ¢ither end of the table, will coni- blete the decorations most emectively. After’ dinner, the first game in which the children join is hwating for the fruits of the tree. These are after-dinner mint waters hidden in every conceivable place. The finding of them is its own reward, Next comes the survey of the picture gallery. BEach person is provided with pencil and paper and opposite the number of the picture writes down his_guess as to, who was that particular baby.

Dear Soclal Corner Sisters: One hun- dred years ago not a pound of coal nor a cubic foot of illuminating gas had been bugned in this country. No iron stoves were used and no contrivances for econ- omizing heat were emploved until D. Frapklin invented the iron-framed fire- plece, which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming in town as well as in the country, was done by the aid of a fire kindled on the brick hearth or in the brick oven. Pine knots or tal- low candles furnished the light for the winter nights, and sanded floors supplied the place of rugs and carpets. The wa- ter used for the household purposes was drawn from deep wells, with creaking sweeps. No form of pump wag used in this country so far as we can learn, un- til after the commencement of the pres- ent century. There.were no friction matches in those days by the aiga of which a fire could.be easily kindled, and if the fire went oyt upon the hearth over night and the tifider was damp so that the spark would not catch the alterna- tive remained of wading through the show a mile or S0 to borrow a brand of a neighbor. Only one room in the house was warm unless some member of the family was {ll. In all the rest the tem- perature was at'zero during many nights in the winter. The men and women of a hundred years ago undressed and went to their beds in a temperature colder than that of oar barns and woodsheds, and they never complained. The thankful heart is full of grati- tude at all seasons of the vear, but joy- : fully sets apart one royal day in which to be especially thankful. As the Sab- bath is the crown of the week, so is Thanksgiving day the crown of the year in which jewels of praise shine with brightest lustre, and therefore by the grace of God today and the franchise of this good people say, Through virtue vested power ye shall gather with ofie accord, and hold in the month of No- | vember thanksgiving unto the Lord for the year of peace and plenty, and for blessings without end. Let the voices of the people in Thanksgiving praises blend. SCHOOL FRIENDS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I saw C. E. S.s letter on Friendship. it a nice letter. It brought to my mind another subject, that of schooldays. T wonder how many of us meet our gin- hood friends, classmates,’ also schoolyard playmates, look them in the face, and pass on without thinking of those by- gone days. I waiting for them to speak to me and they are wondering why ,,& don’t recognize them and both waitin for the others to speak first, My idea that when we leave school ‘Wwe go different ways and net meeting often we sometimes forget or neglect our school- mate until time and years go on and we meet as strangers and feel as if we must be introduced before we feel free| to speak again. Not many weeks before my dear teachers passed away (I had two I loved, Mrs. Ida Sylvester Harrfs and Mrs. R. P. Hempstead Osgood) T met Mrs. Harris ond§ at a little time in 1 thought Broadway school when she and some former teachers of the West Chefsea district were-present.

Bditor Social Corner: I have enjoved the latters from the Corner members for a long time and wished I might j I am not a‘famous cook, or an adept sewing, so was at a loss to find my Hace, but when the discussion about Dlaces and historical events ' began thought 1 could venture in as I dearly lova traveling. It was my good fortune to visit twice this year the wonderful park at Valley Fosge,” where it seems to me American- ism was saved. The beautiful statue of General Wayne (Mad Anthony Wayne) stands on the crest of the /hill, facing his old home, a few miles away, and as we studied the face in bronze, we conid not lslp admire that kind of madnes: After a visit to the rude huts and hos pitat hut with its dirt floor, log bunks and plank operating table, and the long line of dirt entrenchments, one wonders that any soldiers were left after: that awful winter. The last tlme I visited Valley Forge, laurel blossoms were just opening and a more /beautiful and fitting tribute to bravery I mever saw. It was wonderful. If this letter Is not sent to the wasts basket by the editor I will be glad to tell of other hits of interest in my be- loved Pennsylvania. Will take @S my pen name an old nick-name of school days, Which is spell- ed by my initials and hope I can keep it GACK. A GOOD CAKE RECIPE. Editor Social Corner: Enclosed you will find a cake recipe for the social Corner: One-half cup of milk, yolk of one egg, two tablespoons of cocoa, boil until thick, let cool. Add one cup of sugar, one ta- blespoon of melted butter, one-half cup of milk, with a teaspoon_of soda dis- solved in milk, one teaspoon of vanila, two cups of flour, Hope the “sisters will like this ag it is very good.

T hope you are better than you were, I thank the editor for my yellow slip. It was quite a surprise to me. Thanksgiving has roMed around again and_the older we grow the more.thank- ful we are at this time for the man blessings we have recelved during the year.

Let- us remember that it is their gain and gll our mind and thousghts with memories of the past when they were with us.

The sixth of November huhby and I attended birthday gathering near the center of that famous old town. More than a century ago it was an im portant business place.

You 3 NITAMON hung from the roofs and logs were snapping on the andirons in the large fireplace and the cellar 'was filled with the products of the year. All this was done and ready for winter, and we could prepare for Thanksgiving. The best turkey and chickens were prepared for the feast, a large bowl of mince meat was ready, for without that Thanksgiv- ing would not be complete and then there was the frult cake which took ten eggs, thred and one balf pounds of rais- ins, one pound each of citron, figs and currants and other ingredlents in propor- tion. Many of the oldest Lebanon peo- ple remember Aunt Jerusha's fruit cake. Thanksgiving morning we were up early and down stairs, with no steam heat and no touching a button for light. We found grandma, candle in one hand, cooking, breakfast. | There fas no mod- ern breakfast of grape’rult and wafers, but wheat cakes as large as dinmer plates. They were baked ofie at & time in a spider set over coals in front of the fireplace. After breakfast the brick oven was heated to recelve the turkey, chicken pie, and roast pork. In due time the tabe is spread with the turkey at the head of the table ready for carving, the roast pork and chicken pie, various ! kinds of vegetables, mince, apple and | pumpkin pie, puddings, bread, cheese and cheese—everything home made. A& 1 look back to that Tharksgiving fifty vears ago, I wonder how we could have eaten a little of everything that was on the table. After dinner we il sat down for a real isit and So the day waned. Then the candles were’lighted, grandma got out her knitting work and grandpa fell asleep in his chair. After awhile “food rights” are said, the doors are locked, fires darkened, and all retire to rest. .And so we leave them—the dear ones who live only in memory. But when the call comes to “cross the river” we shall fing them waiting to welcome us there fn the land of Etérnal Summer. SILVER LOCKS.

TRUSS WEARER, Hernia, Il DEAR SIR :— | am taking this opportunity teo acquaint you with a new truss of my own design, ly endorsed by those who nd which is warm- wear Some years ago | suffered from Her- nia. | tried several kinds of trusses then on the market, but experienced a great deal of discomfort and_ir- ritation, being on the whole very dissatisfied with them. The old saying that “Necessity is the Moth- er of Invention” was borne out in this instance, as | spent a great deal of thought one volving a truss that would gently hold the Hernia with every movement of the body. The resulting truss was worn by re- non-irritating that nature Others have used my truss and the unvarying opinion has been that it was the right kind of truss for the purpose. 1 am wnriting this in a general 1 shall consider the if they will Yours for comfort and satisfaction.
