WARM MILK AND HEALTH.
Internal and External Applications
of the Lacteal Fluid Give Sur
prising Results.

The milk cure is one of the most ia
nous of all cures, these days, and the
way in which it is managed makes it a
tonic for the skin and the stomach.
The patient takes milk inside and out.
The outside milk cure is worthy atten-
ton, writes Nine. Julie Darcy. This
is the way it was described by a wo-
man who took it: 81 was massaged,"
said she, from head to foot every
night of my life with milk. l might
have taken a milk bath had it not been
so expensive. The milk baths were
managed for me in this way. At night
l was massaged with the top Of the
milk, which was like cream. Then, as
the weather was cold, I was wrapped
in blankets and put to bed. This was
for extreme nervous prostration.
an the morning I took a bath in
this mixture: The tub was filled with
warn water in which about a quart of
milk was stirred. And into this was
dropped ten drops of benzoin. This

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
President Roosevelt Designates Ma
tional Thanksgiving Day.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER BOTH.
He Asks the People TO tender
Thanks for Past Blessings and
COnsecrate Themselves to Lives
of Cleanliness and Honor.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The president
has issued his Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, setting aside Thursday, the Both
day of November, as a day of national
thanksgiving.
BY the President of the United States
Of America:
A ProcIa nation.
When nearly three centuries ago 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 u 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 bust
ness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
a level of material w%ell-being as ours
now stands. We are not threatened by
foes from without. The foes from whom
we should pray to be delivered are ou
W passions, appetites and f~ollies; anc
against these there is always need thai
we should war.
Therefore l now set apart Thursday
the thirtieth day of this November, a.
a day of thanksgiving for the past ant
of prayer for the future; and on tina
day | ask that throughout the land thu
people gather in their homes and place
of worship, and in rendering thank
unto the Most High for the manifold
blessings of the past year, consecrat
themselves to- a life of cleanliness, hor
or and wisdom, so that this nation ma,
do its allotted work on the earth in
manner worthy of those who founde
it and of those who preserved it.
: In witness whereof I have hereunt
set my hand and caused the seal of tn
; United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington th1
second day of November IN the yea
= of u Lord, one thousand, nine hur
' dred and five, and of the indeper
= Gence of the United States, the or
hundred and thirtieth.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

CHAPTER ~.
WILLIAM r. A. WILSON

SHOWS HOW MINE HOST OF THE
STRIPED ASS" TREATED HIS
GUESTS, AND HOW HIS PUNISH
MENT WAS MADE TO FIT HIS
CRIME.
1t wanted but a few minutes to eight
the same evening when the figure of
Tonti might have been observed rid
ing slowly along lea the bank of the
Seine. He walked his horse as though
he were in no hurry and his ride were
without an object. When opposite LIE
Pont Neuf, he halted and watched for
a moment the group of idlers gathered
about the equestrian statue Of King
Henry in the center of the bridge,
who we're leaning VI the parapet and
engaged in bandying jests with the
boatmen passing beneath the arches.
Having seemingly gained all the
amusement possible from a contempla-
ton of this spectacle, Tonti o o re-
sumed his journey, turning off in a
short time from the river bank and
threading his way through various
cross-streets until he reached the Rue
st. Honore. Following this thorough
fare as far as the city gate, he stopped
his horse in the shelter of the wall OF
Les Capucins, to await his companion
In a moment or two he beheld
sight that made it hard for his mirth-
loving nature to keep itself within
bounds. A small white ass came amb'
ling along and passed him, carrying
very fat, ,unwieldly-formed monk O
the Franciscan order, clad in gra.
cowl, girdle, and sandals. His monk
ship apparently had not been astrid'
an animal for a long time, and sucl
were the evident signs of discomfor
on his face that n instantly sur
missed that he was undergoing a pen
ance of some sort. He made no at
tempt to guide the ass, but sat hold
ing on helplessly to the rope tina
served as rein and bride. The gat
was not yet closed for the night, s

he passed unchallenged, the guards
laughing heartily at the figure he cut.
Tonti waited until he had gotten a
couple of minutes start of him, and
then turned into the road and passed
likewise through the gate without
hindrance. The night watch had just
arrived, and in the confusion attend
ing the change of guard he was easily
overlooked. He had hardly gone a
score of PAGES beyond, when he heard
the gate close behind him. Any one
leaving or entering after that hour
would be carefully scrutinized.
In the fast-gathering gloom, Tonti
spied his ecclesiastical friend trotting
peacefully along the Chemin de Viii
Iers. He hurriedly followed him, but
preserved a respectful distance. He
received no sign, neither heard any
sound from him. Becoming alarmed
est he had really made a mistake,
ne was about to turn back toward the
city, when suddenly the ghostly figure
began beating his animal with the
rein and kicking his sides as effect
lively as he could with his sandaled
feet.
"A murrain seize this beast for a
vicious, rough-riding child Of Belize
bub. May the devil take him and all
his kind! Ha! mon ami Tonti, !
feared 1t was not you. Someone else
followed me on a horse almost up to
the gate, and l did not know but that
you were he. / fear that he suspected
that I was disguised. | don't believe
that I sit well when l ride"
q shout of laughter from Tonti
greeted this speech.
'Peste! Pompon, if l do not get you
a place in the Horse Guards. You sit
your animal like a sack of meal"
"You would look like one yourself"
Pompon replied. rather testify, "if you
had a back stuffed with straw and a
paunch made out of enough hay to
keep a horse in health for a week, all
squeezed into a heavy cowl and tied
together with a stout cord. Between
the heat and discomfort of my dis
guise, and the jolting of this beast,
| am thankful we have only four
leagues to 60. He who Is in great
haste should not ride an ass"
Where got you your disguise?'
queried Tonti.
From my friend the cabaretier,N
was the reply. HE was lone OF M
Bouquets secret agents; many is the
message I have taken from him. The
words Remember sixty-four' that
told you to whisper, to him is the Sc
ret means of recognition among al
hose who were connected with the
Unfortunate minister. 1t was in 1864

Hundreds. They are in every rank
and condition. M. Fouquet was {
good master to serve and a liberal one
Is I a bear witness. All who served
aim loved him."
Talking thus of his old employer, {
heme Pompon never tired of, thu
strangely assorted pair rode on init
he shades of the on-coming night
When about half the distance had beef
raversed, they turned off into q roat
leading to the left, and by ten o'clocl
saw a light or two from the small ham
let Of Ecouen twinkling in the dark
ness ahead Of them. On reaching tn

undertaken to raise the sum by popu-

Star will succeed, for that paper has
established the habit of winning out.
But The Wageworker will not be rep
resented on the subscription list for
the purchase of silver service. The

we'll enough paid to furnish their own

about as much use to them as three
tails would be to a bulldog. This silver
service business is a fad. Nebraska

something that would include the men

New Uses for Electricity,

1t is French engineer who seri.
ously announces his invention of a
suit of electric clothing, with fine
wire woven in the goods and a stor-
age battery. By means of this inven-
ton he affirms that the body can be
kept at a comfortable temperature in
the coolest weather. There is no ap-
parent reason why we should stop
with this. Little if any more current
would be needed to produce a light
such as persons on the vaudeville
stage display. Thus every pedestrian
at night would become a walking
lamppost, with electric force enough
to shock an inebriate who might wish
to cling to him. 1t would be practic-
able, too, for an American inventor
to connect the current with roller
skates, thus allowing every man to be
his own trolley car.

If every union would disband and
every individual start independently,
We would guarantee that IN one years

but the fellow that fills them has

Local cigarmakers are feeling the eff
fects of the Commercial clubs agi-
tation in favor of home industries, and
also profiting by the growing demand
for the union label Work is good.
The cigarmakers were the pioneer
unionists in the elght-hour movement.
They established the eight-hour day on
May 1, 1886. The cigarmakers, too,
have been the pioneers in several other
matters of vital interest to organized
labor
A report from Washington states
that it has been decided by the inter
ral revenue authorities that the union
label of the cigarmakers can be placed
or cigar boxes in any place or man
o: cover the internal revenue stamp
or factory brand of caution required
by law The decision is a victory for
the cigarmakers, as the tobacco trust

Used on boxes of union-made cigars.
AS soon as warm weather comes the
local cigarmakers will renew their bill

favor of the label. They have set a
good example for other unions to fol
low, and can show that it has been
profitable.
