Of ancient vogue, as things ancien,
go in America is this Thanksgiving
festival Our forefathers reasoning
that all prayers should not be petitions
for favors to come, but share of them
should be in acknowledgment of bless
ings already received, the Pilgrims,
after their first harvest, rejoiced TIC
gether and gave thanks.
Thanksgiving days have been of
frequent but not of regular occurrence
since then. but not until the dark DAYS
of the civil war was the day established
as one of regular feasting and prayer.
There had been Thanksgiving procla-
nations between the time of the Pill
grims and the time of Lincoln; one at
the close of the Revolution, one in 1876
and another in 1915, but not until 1863
did Thanksgiving become an estab-
lished holiday to be proclaimed from
the White House ard from the capitals
of the states.
Verify it is a beautiful custom; one
for family reunions; one for visit of
children to parents; one when even the
prodigal returns and finds a prodigal's

Reason for Their Belief i'm Him.

dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, l.. T. Cooper comparatively
Young man. has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country. and in each
city has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day, In view
of this. the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are' OF general in
tcrest.
MI. Agnes viggenlouser, of 942 st.
