THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
President Roosevelt Designates Ma.
tional Thanksgiving Day.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER BOTH.
He Asks the People to NendeR
Thanks for Past blessings and
C~Onsecrate I~hemaelves to Lives
Of Cleanliness and Honor.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The president
has issued his Thanksgiving proclama-
ton. setting aside Thursday, the 3Oth
day of November. as a day of national
thanksgiving.
BY the President Of the United States
Of America:
A procln nation.
When nearly three centuries & the
first settlers came to the country which
has now become this great republic,
they fronted not only hardship and pri.
walton, but terrible risk to their lives.
In those grim years, the custom grew
Of setting apart one day in each year
for a special service Of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national and
hallowed by immemorial usage. We
live In easier and more plentiful times
than our forefathers, the men who with
rugged strength faced the rugged days,
and yet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t Is eminently
fitting that once a year our people
should set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the giver of good, and
at the same time that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mercies
received, should manfully acknowledge
their shortcomings and pledge them.
selves solemnly and in good faith to
strive to overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our BUSH
ness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
q level of material well-being as ours
now stands. We are not threatened by
foes from without. The foes from whom
We should pray TO be delivered are Ii
W passions, appetites and %follies; and
against these there is always need that
we should war.
Therefore I now set apart Thursday,
the thirtieth day of this November, as
a day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future; and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and places
of worship, and in rendering thanks
unto the Most High for the manifold
blessings Of the past year, consecrate
themselves to a life Of cleanliness. hon
or and wisdom, so that this nation may
do It's allotted work on the earth in a
manner worthy Of those who founded
1t and Of those who preserved it.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this
second day of November in the year
Of our Lord. one thousand. nine hum
bred and five, and Of the indepen-
Gence of the United States, the one
hundred and thirtieth.

confession Of weakness.
That street corners are poor

A Light That Will Never Go Out.

A thirty-six candle-pwer light
which will never go out has been
discovered by an inventor in
London. While experimenting
with Photographic chemicals
some years ago Magrad's atten-
tion was attracted by glow in
a small globe, caused by a chem
ical compound. Magrady en-
]arged the glow and perfected
the light by placing it in an air
tight glass. He says there is
no reason why the light will
not remain brilliant forever, if
the glass is not broken. A com
pany has been formed to manu-
facture the light.
