Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation naming Thursday, No
vember 3Oth, as thanksgiving day.
The proclamation is as follows
"Whcn nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came TO the country which
has now become this great republic,
they Ironted not only hardships and
prIyatIOn, but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day in each
year for 4 special service Of thanksgiv-
ing TO the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become national
and haliOwed by immemorial usage.
1--WE live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, the men
who with rugged strength faced the rug
ged days and yet the dangers to ma
tiOnal life are as great now as at any
previous time in our history. 1t is en-
inently fitting that once year our peo-
pie should set apart day for praise
and thanksgiving to the GIver of good,
and, at the same time that they eN-
press their thankfulness for the album
daut mercieS received, should manfullY
acknowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in good
faith 10 strive 10 overcome them.
During the past year We have been
blessed with bountifui crops. Our bus
mess prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on so high
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 our
own passions, appetites and follies; and
against these there is always need that
we should war.
therefore, | now set apart Thurs
day, the 3Oth 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 un-
to the Most High for the manifold bless
ings of the past year, cOnseCrate them
selves TO a life OF cleanliness, honor and
wisdom, so that this nation may ID its
allotted work on the earth in a manner
worthy of those who founded it and OF
those who preserved it,
In witness whereof | have hereuuto
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 Hundred
and Five and of the Independence Of the
United States the One Hundred and
Thirtieth.

American Supplies for England.

WHAT England would do, and how her
people would subsist, if suddenly de-
prived of her American source of sup
plies, is difficult 10 imagine. 1t is also
difficult to imagine how the American
people would keep so healthy if they
were suddenly deprived of the famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for in this
sovereign remedy they have their only
hope of being cured of stomach, liver
and bowel disorders. 1t has been sub
iected to the severe test of over 80 years
and has always given complete salts

A Mistake Somewhere.

The young man who professed that
he could read character from hand
writing looked attentively at the scrap
of a letter which had been given him
by a friend and shook his head.
1.-THE woman who wrote that" he
said, in his most judicial tone, sis un-
doubtedly possessed of personal attrac-
tons and unfortunately too we'll aware
of them; but her character, sir, Is weak
as water. She lacks determination,
consistency, ambition of a high order
and originality. Am 1 not correct in
my synopsis SO far as you known"
"Mm, well, you may be-" said the
other, "for I've never seen the writer.
She's the widow Of my Cousin Jim,
out in Iowa. When 1 knew Jim he
was an agreeable scapegrace who
never stayed in n position or place
for more than six months, and was al.
ways in debt. He married her twelve
years ago, settled in a small city, built
up a fine business, became mayor last
year, just before he died, and has left
a life insurance Of $4,000 and an ex.
cellent income besides to his widow
and four children.
'"Some way" he added, thoughtfully,

ing at the scrap Of paper with a dazed
expression, 81 had imagined she might
have considerable character, but I dare
say you're right"

Dyspepsia,-A dessert spoonful or
more Of glycerine diluted with Eve
parts Of water and taken at the be-
ginning Of the meal prevents the usual
distress, belching, ETC., which follows
the eating Of certain vegetables and
fruits. 1t Is not a cure but simply G
relief. g
Eruptions on the Face.-The patient
should live temporarily, avoiding all
stimulants and keep the bowels open.
A solution Of carbonate or b~icarbonate
Of soda, n scruple to a pint of water,
makes a very good wash. When the
eruptions break and become sores use
an ointment composed of lanoline one
ounce and oliate of mercury one grain,
rubbed on two or three times daily.
Black heads should be steamed and
squeezed out and the spots rubbed with
the ointment a few times.
Homemade Liniment.-The primary
purposes of a liniment are to serve as
disinfectant and to allay Inflammation.
Nature must do the rest toward curing
cuts, bruises or wounds of any kind.
Swellings, aches and pains result from
Inflammation and require the use Of
liniment. A very good n for both man
and beast Is composed of alcohol, one
pint; spirits of hartshorn, IL unces;
turpentine, one gill; sweet oil. one-half
pint; line a%rnica, five ounces; chloro-
form, two n This will make about
2h pints the equivalent of which in
quantity and quality Of a patent linl-
ment would cost from 81 to IS.
The Rain Cure.-This Is the latest
fad. All that is required of the pa
tient is to stand in the open with the
body bare of all clothing in the falling
rain. The sensation is said to be very
agreeable. Those who have tried It as
sert that the rain falling upon the bare
body invigorates the whole system and
is especially Strengthening to the
nerves. There is no set rule for taking
the treatment. 1t is declared that the
rain cure is a sure remedy for rheu-
matism and that decided improvement
has been noted in cases of persons af-
ficted with tuberculosis. For nervous
disorders the treatment is said to be
infallible, although we do not take
much stock in II.
