Primitive PiInrim Eeasts.

1t is supposed that our Pilgrim
parents were whetting their appe-
tites upon wild turkey at the very
moment when the news Of their pos
sible ultimate starvation reached Eng
land. It must have been terrible in
deed on the approach of winter, with
few and imperfect firearms at COM
mand, for these de-serate Puritans to
knock live gobbling turkeys off the
trees and make meal OF them! No
spiced stuffing with chestnuts and
oysters for them! Just simple tur
key, roasted upon hot stones or boiled
in a cauldron instead of being smoth-

increasing and men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers Of praise for the bene.
hts of the past and the prayers of
supplieations for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can Grad
icate from man the belief that he is
the creature of supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency OF
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful if the belief
in mans divine origin was ever en-
tirely obliterated from any human
mind. With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful of the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn.
pies erected by our people in which
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience, thar
they should meet together ON this
day and give praise to Him who
watches over us.

Silently the pursuit continued. Day

1t would soon be followed by a chorus.

time Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me.
The last time they cured me, and now

Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from
the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot
remove this Acid which collects In
the blood and poisons every vein and
artery. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure
Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys !;
by healing and strengthening them,
so that they can rid the blood of all
impurities.
