THANKSGIVING NOV. "a
THE PRESIDENT ISSUES USUAL PROC.
LAMATl0N.
Calling on all to Set Apart November 24,h as
Day of Special Praise and
Thanksgiving.

Washington. October 2S.-The Presi-
dent after the Cabinet meeting to-day is
sued the following thanksgiving procla-
nation:
"By the President of the United
States.
"A Proclamation.
"The approaching November brings to
mind the custom of our ancestors, hal
lowed by time and rooted in our most
sacred traditions, of giving thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings he
has vouchsafed to us during the year.
Few years in our history have af-
forded such cause for thanksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abundant
harvests; our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased; our public
credit has been improved and strength
ened; all sections of our common country
have been brought together and knitted
into closer bonds of national purpose and
unity.
"The skies have been for time dark
encd by the cloud of war; but as we
were compelled to take up the sword in
the cause of humanity, we are permitted
to rejoice that the conflict has been
of brief duration and the losses we have
had to mourn, though grievous and inn
portant, have been so few, considering
the great results accomplished. as to in
spire us with gratitude and praise to
the Lord of Hosts. We may laud and
magnify His holy name that the cessa-
ton of hostilities came so soon as to
spare both the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
Il do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, those ut home rs well as
those who may be at sea or sojOurnins
in foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the twenty fourth day of
November, as Il day of National thanks
giving, to come together in their several
places of worship. for service of praise
and thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings of the year; for the mildness
of the seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil; for the continued prosperity of the
people, for the devotion and valor Of
our countrymen, for the glory of our vic
tory and the hope of a righteous peace,
and to pray that the divine guidance
which has brought us heretofore to
safety and honor may be graciously con-
tinued in the years to come. U
in witness whereof, etc,

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement OF re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. PINK
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
s'some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times r
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, / knew not
what, but kept getting worse. II can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was SO depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hvs-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
!" Indeed, I thought would lose INV
mind. No one knows what endured
continued this way until the last
OF February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound. I determined to trv q
and felt better after the first dose. :
continued taking it, and to-day am .
well woman, and can say from nv
heart, Thank God for such a med;
eine.'"

DIR. DOLE'S IDEAS.
DR.. Daniel Il. Dole of Portland agreed
with DR.. Thayer in most of the positions
he took. DIR. Dole spoke particularly OF
the method OF teaching in It's relation to
the limited time which osn be devoted to
the study In the already crowded school
course. AS hygiene, especially in it's re.
lations to the effects of stimulants and
narcotics, isfone OF the chief end of the
study in the sohools, Or. Dole would
teach in general way the structure of
the body, the bones and "a uscles, giving
the greatest attention to those parts of
the system of which 1t is most necessary
to know in order to maintain health. He
would teach enough about the respiratory
system to show thesvalue of good ven tia
ton and proper methods of breathing.
He would show the effect of narcotics on
the nervous system. AS to where to
teach, the effects Of tobacco might be ex-
planned in the primary school. The real
study of physiology and hygiene should
be begun in the grammar school and ex-
banded in the high school.
As Mr.. Russell had pointed out some
of the strange results of teaching methods
as shown in0answers given by pupils, DR..
Dole mentioned some of the experiments
recommended by the books, such as soak
ing bone in acid until IL can be tied In
q Knot, thus revealing the fact that the
mineral matter has been removed. But of
what use is this to child who knows
nothing of chemistry He can soak a
stick In water and tie IL in knot and 1t
means as much to him. Then there is
another set of experiments with milk
which very successfully shows the child
how cream rises and butter is made
which he already knows, and then ends
while the instructor goes on to tell bout
the various food elements In milk, Of
