It should be placed on the table with the breast to the left Of the carver, who commences operations by first getting firm grip on the fowl by sticking the carving fork deep down through the up- per part of the breastbone.

The first requisite for this Is well-shaped, yellow pumpkin whose top has been cut so that the edge Is in scallOps The inside of the pumpkin is then scoOped out and the hollow space partially filled with sawdust. Buried in this sawduSt are placed Thanksgiving favors in packages tied with ribbons long enough to reach over the scallOped sides of the pumpkin. The favorS intended for the feminine diners are tied with rib bons of one color, while those destined for the men and boys are of another cClor.
 These favors may be trifiing or elabOr- ate. according to the desire and purse of the hostess. Even for a small outlay pret- ty favOrs may be provided. Pincushions for the girls, made to represent pump kins, chestnuts or bananas. candy tur- keys and footballs, etc. are in keeping with the spirit of the day. Penwipers are held to be welcome to mankind in general and they are so easy to make that they will appeal with special signifi- canoe to the careful Eousekeeper who hns a Thanksgiving pie for her guests. The penwipers may also be cut in the shape of different fruits or like tur- key. They may be of leather, felt or chamois skin, and can be tied with red and green. the autumn colors.
 When all the favors have been put into the pumpkin. with the ribbon of each package over the scalloped side, the top Is covered with yellow tissue paper cut in around and scalloped about the edges. When the paper is fastened here and there with a little paste, the pumpkin

Being Thankful Gracefully.

TYERY girl wishes she were charm ing. Some girls wish it so fer - vently that they actually do some thing to bring about the happy result. Others just build air-castles on such foundations and a full pocketbook which gives unlimited privileges in the matter nf choosing frocks and frills and cosmet- ics and hats and shoes and even beaux.
 More arts than one can count on the fingers of two hands go to make up that composite gift, personal charm. One of them is appropriate to this season. It Is the art of giving thanks gracefully.
 Have you ever practiced 1t? If not. Thanksgiving is the appointed time to begin. It makes men adore you. old people speak beautiful words of you and other young women envy you.
 Perhaps you are going 10 Thanksgiving service. if you are the kind of a girl who lives up tO the old New England custom. Perhaps you belong to the new idea class with whom football has risen superior even to the Thanksgiving din ner at midday. Perhaps you are going for a long days outing in ihe frosty country.

The next day the chap remembered her dislike for such things and he also recalled her un- affected appreciation of his courtesy in entertaining her. He forgot that she was not so very pretty, nor SO very well dressed, nor so very rich, and went up to her house and proposed on the spot. He knew that she would be thankful for al the good things that came her way.

Second, sound constitutions, with good, healthy digestive organs. We are developing the first and letting the second go to ruin.
 The amount of half chewed, has tily eaten food the average American stuffs into himself during the day is positively wicked. Then when he feels dull and nervous and tired he begins to imagine he has kidney trou- ble, or liver complaint, or heart trou- ble, or nerve exhaustion, or goodness knows what. There is just one thing the matter with him. He has abused the one organ in his body most es- sential to good health-the stomach and until the gastric juices in his stomach perform their functions as they should, all the doctors between here and San Francisco will not make him well.
 "The other day a man well known in New York, who takes almost no exercise and who is big feeder. call ed on me and said: From what friend tells me about your medicine think it will help meat least I am willing to give it a trial; but. supposing it does get my stomach in shape, how long will it last?' I re- piled: If you take Coopers New Discovery, at the end of six weeks your food should be digesting per fectly once more, and you will feel like any other man. But if you con- tinue to act like a fool, so far as what you eat and the way you eat it are concerned, you will be right back where you are now inside of six months
 What I said to this man can be applied to thousands just like him all over the country"

 Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence many patriotic societies be sieCcd the presidents to take action to ward the adoption Of a national day of thanksgiving. No action of any permanent nature was taken until 1865, when the Lincoln proclamation was issued. The country was sick of war and its ravages. Mrs Hale. herself daughter of the Plymouth Colony, made q vigorous appeal to the President The battle of Gettys- burg had been fought and the time was ripe. Thus was the beginning of the adoption of a great holiday which Is dis tinctively American in the manner of It's celebration.

fragments.
 Before carving more from the turkey 1t is well to separate the leg and cut it into two pieces. After this the breast of the turkey can be carved in thin, deliCate slices, with the knife held flat against the breastbone and faced away from the carver. Then the point of the knife can be inserted under the wish bone. and 1t can be lifted, pressed back ward and removed.
 Good carvers now turn the turkey slightly and, without removing the cary ing fork. cut the shoulder blades from the under side of the carcass. Each help ing should contain a piece of both white and dark meat and a generous spoonful Of dressing. Of course. the one who carves must watch each guests plate during the dinner and be certain that he is sufficiently helped.
 Many a man can carve a turkey. Tn fact. any man will make an heroic effort to do so if he Is unable to get out of it. The one fault thHt a good hOusekeeper cannot forgive and one that the average carver Is liable to he guilty of Is spiling small pieces Of the fowl or dressing over the side of the dish on the tablecloth. Extreme care IS necessary to avoid this.

~ HE unalterable association of & Thanksgiving with the home life V brings the celebration of this feast clearly into the realm of women. And it was a woman who was responsible for the issuing of the first general prociama- ton by the President of the United States. This document was issued hy President Lincoln in 1885 and called upon the governors of the states to adopt a uniform thanksgiving day and thus give the celebration q more national charac ter.
 The history Of giving thanks is as old ns the world The first recorded mention of 1t Is found in the Book of Exodus: And the feast of the harvest. the first fruits of thy labors. which thou hast sown in the field. and the feast of the ingathering. which Is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out Of the field"

WORLD MAY s. OS) AMERICANS LACK COMMON SENSE, SAYS WESTERNER
Told Well=KnOwn New Yorker He Was Living Like a
 a Fool So Far As His Stomach Was Concerned

l.. T. Cooper, who is at present explaining his medicines to the pub lie of this city and attracting a great deal of attention. thinks that Ameri- cans are lacking in common sense. Cooper claims that most ill-health is due to stomach disorders caused by improper living. When inter- viewed Thursday. he said:
 While modern conditions are largely responsible for many half sick, rundown people in America today, lack of common sense can also be blamed.
 Tt is impossible to lead the active outdoor life that nature demands. It is impossible for many to exercise the body sufficiently to make the gastric juices wholly active and virile. It is impossible to spend as much time as we should in the fresh air and sunshine. But it is possible to treat stomach already weakened by these facts with a little consid- eration.
 If the American people would think half as much of their stomachs as they do Of their pocketbooks. there wouldn't be so much of this tired all the-time feeling.
 If we would sit down quietly to plain, common sense meal. eat slowly. chew every mouthful thoroughly, and then give it time to digest, there wouldn't be so many droopy. listless. sallow-faced men and women. But we don't; We are a nation of bolters. We bolt our food and expect our stomachs to do the work our teeth were intended for. We rush through our meals as though to catch train. Time is money. In consequence we are the richest nation on the face of the globe, but we are slowly be- coming a lot of chronic dyspeptics.

Homemade Gifts.

vA IMBLE fingers will soon be en- b gagged in creating dainty holiday Ek gifts. for no other remembrances of the festive season show quite so much of love and thought as those fashioned by the donors own hands. These may not be as costly as those bought in shops, but Will be infinitely more ap- preciated.
 The little baskets that have such a run at thls season of the year in the stores lend themselves most happily to the making of Christmas gifts, coming. as they do, in a variety of shapes and sizes. as well as in various colOrings. The little. low Oblong shapes make the sweetest cushion for hairpins or hatpins. Filled with curled hair. the covering is, of course net. on which is a spray of pink roses in ribbon embroidery. A ruching of pink ribbons encircles the basket. and ribbon bows tied on the rings on each end are the finish. This Is a very dainty trile, yet quite inexpen- sive. and calls for very little skill in the making.
 Another basket. somewhat resembling a clothes barrel hamper. has a lid made of cardboard, covered with a round of white linen. daIntily embroidered, and the edge finished with a ribbon ruching. Inside the basket Is set a good-sized tumbler; around the middle of the bas- ket a broad ribbon is passed. tying fin bow at the front, much on the order of the scrap basket trimming. This makes the most convenient and sanitary of hair receivers, and if one gets the ribbon tied into a bow when buying, the rest of the work is certainly easy, and the result quite a brave showing for so little trou- ble and expense.
 Three-cornered baskets dovetaied to- gether made an odd-looking whole, each one covered on the outside with quaint looking chintz. The inside parts are lined with old rose satin and old rose ribbon ties the handles together. Lids of cardboard and covered with the chintz. and a dainty little casket for everyday
