questions like these:

A Thanksgiving Thought.

To think the best of people, and
not the worst, to say only kind and
gracious words,to be true and hope
full and undaunted, to rest on Gods
will as on soft pillow, to keep the
child's heart to gray hairs and to
have the kingdom of heaven with
in you, are all parts of the duty,
and belongto the birthright of good
men and good women. To despair
of none, to refuse help to none, to

others, these are the stepping stones
to real thankfulness. Margaret e.

has made history and given to us our

after the close of the war of 1912.
so far ss presidential notice was
concerned, the day was allowed to
lapse, however, until permanently
revived by Abraham Lincole in

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: % Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and 90 Cream OF Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
% MineraI-Acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound. and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. a pound.
(2) Boae-4cid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
and in the following proportion"
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 90 to 80 cents a pound.
go Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in a baking powder to act upon the
soda, as it's wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to % cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

DANGER OF %"RESTING."

A young girl who had been very active
IN Christian work, decided that she
would take a rest for awhile" She did
so, and soon found herself losing her in
terest in spiritual matters. When she
realized her condition she Immediately
entered into active Christian work
again and thus renewed her spiritual
life. An unoccupied room in a house
becomes the "catch all" for all the rub
bish of the household. Worthless things
are stored there, dust and dirt collect
and poisonous insects hold sway. Thus
1t is with our Christian life. W. can
not let ourselves take a rest even for
a little while, for the world is ever near
with it's tempting sights and sounds
to unmake us, and before we are aware
of it has filled our lives with poisoned

MY TRUST Is IN THEE.

Along the stony path and steep,
Through danger and dismay;
Through CHEEKY sunlight, and through
shade,
From dawn until the end Of day
Be Thine, o Lord, the hand that leads!
When grief lies chill upon the heart;
When reason faint. in sick ming doubt;
When all my soul is racked with strife.
Much fiercer than the storms without
Be Thine, o Lord. the love that soothes.
When on tina silent voyage I start
Where strongest earthly strength must
fall
Lest in the storm of night ! sink,
Lest DER my bark the wave prevail
Be Thine, 0 Lord, the strength thai saves!
