Nevadan's Have Much to be Thank
full For.
Every resident of Nevada who sits
down to a Thanksgiving dinner today
has a right to feel that he lives in a
State where people have more than
ordinary reasons for being filled with
a decided feeling Of thankfulness Ne
vada during the past year has pro
crossed by leaps and bounds. We
have had bountiful harvests. new
impetus to business, population has
been added. internal Improvements
to the extent of millions have been
promoted within our borders, new
mining discoveries have advertiser
us to the world, property has ad-
vanced in value all over the State,
and tax rates have been reduced.
The State has scored a distinct ad-
vance and every one has been more
or less benefited. Under the cir.
cumstances we can all eat our
Thanksgiving dinner with good grace.
In this connection the Appeal con-
siders it not out of place to publish
one of the most beautiful Thanksgiv
ing poems ever written. 1t is from

taking his knife, deliberately cut 1t into small
pieces, remarhing that the people like to be hum
plugged. and that he would crafty them. lie then
asked for some tin-foil that had come off tobacco,
neatly wrapped up his soap, and went out. Twice
he returned and bought more soap, paying tor the
first bar, of course, and before the evening tram,
he came and showed the grocer a handful OF
change, remarking that he could now leave town;
but the funny part is, when the grocer went home
he learned that his wife had bought two pieces OF

Cold hands may be treated on the same PRINCIPLE
but thew have to be kept in the cold water, usual
lv. a much longer time.
Some colds are due to 1nicrO-organ1sms that
attack the air-passages; but this is much less like
ly to happen in a person whose powers OF reSlS-
lance have been raised by dietetic and hygienic
measures.
If colds result from dust in the nasal passages,
as sometimes happens, the nostrils may be washed
out regularly with some warm alkaline solution
and with as much satisfaction as one brushes the
teeth. This is properly a part of the morning
toilet, for those at least who suffer from catarrh
in the atmosphere OF great cities. Operative
interference on the nose and throat may be re
quired for determines or diseased tissues which
act as an exciting cause.
The inside and outside skins of the body are so
much in sympathy and so dependent on each other
that any disorder of the one is sure to react upon
the other, and this is especially true of the ali
mentary canal and the skin as a whole. Ovcreat-
ing when tired, overeating in connection with
overexertion, indulging in things known to disa-
gree, are among the causes of colds; for taking
cold is ordinarily nothing but a successful attack
from without; an attack that succeeds simply be
cause the skin, which resists, is not properly sup
ported from within, or lacks tone itself.
One should keep moving" when wet or chilly,
and not stand on a street corner or elsewhere
without taking deep breaths. The lungs used in
this way act as a pump to drive the blood along.
This practice, with the others named, Will reduce
to a shadow the liability of having to entertain
this unwelcome guest periodically.-Youth's
