ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Perth

DON'T mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the canse
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.

New Bruins wick, N. ] says:
Gotten my back panied me so that l
could not stoop without a sharp pain 60
ing through me, which all but took my
breath away. If / sat any length of time
and attempted to raise | had acute pains
in my kidneys. L used a number of
simple home remedies such as plasters

Pills recommended in our papers by

A THANKSGIVING Game.

One Of the funniest of the funny
games peculiar to Thanksgiving time
is called hunt the turkey"
Go out to the kitchen and take the
turkey out Of the oven and bring it in
and hide it somewhere i'll the parlor.
Under the lace curtains in the windows
is a good place Or you might shove it
down inside Of the piano. Then let
the guests come in and hunt for it.
The person who finds it must hit some
one with it before the person can get
it back to the other room, which is
home base. 1t is not fair to throw the
turkey, as it must be swung by the
hands. If a person accidentally knocks
over a lamp or breaks a picture or
throws the turkey through the Win
dow he or she must pay a forfeit.
Of course this game, which is funny
and Il in which both young and old
may join, must not be played longer
than half an hour before the time set
for the dinner, for the turkey must be
taken back to the oven and allowed to
finish cooking before being carried to
the table. 1t is not fair to take bites
out Of the turkey when it is found and
it is also against the rules of the game
to kick the turkey around the room. 1t
must be held in the hands. right side
up, so that the stuffing will not fall
out.-New York World.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1905-11-30
Making the Proclamation.

There is a good deal Of form and GER
emory about the making Of the
Thanksgiving proclamation. 1t is com
posed by the president himself and in
most instances written out in his OWL
hand. When this is done the document
goes to the state department., where it
is carefully copied in ornamental writ
ing that is almost like engraving on the
official blue paper Of that department..
The next thing needed on tho document
is the great seal of the government.
This seal is kept by the clerk Of par
don& and commissions. and it is very
carefully guarded under lock and key.
It's keeper will not produce it without
a special warrant signed by the presi-
dent. and an impression OF the seal is
quite a ceremony in itself. When the
proclamation has hecn thus duly sign
ed and scaled many copies are made Of
it by clerks. and II is sent to the gov
ernor of every state in the Union. 1t is
also given out hen to the press agents,
who telegraph it all owe the United
States. Each governor. as he receives
it. issues one himself for his state.
