SO long as the sovereign himself pre-

ILL.,, no sovereign has been present at

The change. like so many other mod
ifcations which have been introduced
into the British constitution. was the
result Of purely accidental circum-
stance. George l. could not speak the
English language. 1t was clearly use
less for monarch to be present at the
meetings of bis councillors when he
did not understand the language In
which their deliberations were carried
On. But when the sovereign was thus
necessarily and habitually absent from
the cabinet 1t became requisite that
some minister should be chosen who
should preside at the meetings and
report Its decisions to the king. Thus
the accession Of foreigner who could
not converse In English led to one Of
the most momentous changes In tho
constitution. The act of settlement
had given England foreign sover-

We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we
can in every way possible that will
be to it's advantage. Our neigh
boris prosperity means a great deal
more to us than someone's who
lives elsewhere. We should bear
this in mind in buying our goods.
We can afford 70 pay our home
man firm price for his wares rath-
er than send our money away,
knowing as we do that every dollar
our own citizens make will help in
sustaining our schools, churches
and public institutions. 1t pays
richly to patronize home industry.

WHY DO WE GIVE THANKS?

AS we look backward on the year,
and on the years, why should we
be thankful? For life, its pleas
ures, its enjoyments, its good; for
its sorrows and disappointments
even, for are they not often part OF
ministry Of heaven 10 make us bet
ter? For friends, for parents, for
wife for children, and for the Great
Friend who leaves us not when
Others sometimes fail.
For the kindly fruits Of the earth
which have come to US, the pro-
ducts of our labor conjoined with
the blessing of God. For who OF
us, of himself alone can make one
ear of corn, one leaf? For our
fathers who won for us the right OF
self-government. For peace and
the prospect of greater peace must
we as a nation give thanks. A
wide peace which will forever
brood over the three nations on
this continent gives an example
and inspiration to the less favor#-
bly, situated people of the old world
and lifting them up, we hope, toltS
emulation.
For the spirit of progress, for the
pruning of corruption from the
body polite we can give thanks;
not only for good accomplished but
for the augury of greater and bet
ter things to come. For our
churches and our schools and FOL
the millions of happy pure homes
which dot this continent. For the
fact that we are not nation OF the
past, a decaying nation, but ma
ton of the present and the future.
For the great opening up of Ma
ture's wondrous secrets which seem
now to be coming upon us. For
larger, cleaner, healthier thought,
and for the old truth, old and ever
new. that God is our God forever
and ever. He will be our guide ev-
en- unto death. -Ex.

Presently the actor returned and re-

The latest fad in society is tn

The latest fad in society is the
tub cure. In this the patient
arises just as the crisp air of the
morning is mellowed by the first
sunbeam. An ordinary wash tub is
then filled with hot water and soap
suds, into which various articles of
linen are thrown. After they are
thoroughly saturated the patient
takes them up one at a time and
rubs them briskly up and down on
a wash board placed in the tub.
This is kept up until the hands,
arms and face are glowing pink.
The patient then goes into the open
air and hangs all the linen articles
on line stretched for that pur-
pose. The one completing the
task first announces the time to the
others over the telephone and is en-
titled to a prize. 1t is exciting
sport and also invigorating exer-
else. -Marlinton Messenger.

Study PELLACRA
Physicians of State Asked to
Furnish Data on This
Obscure Disease.

Richmond, Va, Nov. %. - The
State Department of Health yester-
day made public The details of the
work undertaken by the State for
the study of pellagra. Every ply
stefan of Virginia has been asked to
cooperate in the work and to fur
nish data on cases of pellagra oc-
curing in his practice. Special
blank forms for this purpose have
been prepared and will be distrib-
uted.
According to the statement of
the Health Commissioner, there
have as yet been few cases of the
strange malady in Virginia. All of
these have been studied as careful
ly as possible, with the aid of local
physicians. But as there may be
cases of the disease unrecognized in
various sections of the State, the
Health Officials feel that they can
not hope to personally. inspect ev-
cry suspect. Hence they have pre-
pared standard form which they
are sending doctors with the re-
quest that the latter furnish details
of all cases that may occur in their
practice. By the information CIV
en- these reports, the Health De-
partment hopes to secure impor-
tant facts regarding the disease.
In addition, the Laboratory of
the Department is engaged in an
investigation of the relation of fer
mented or spoiled corn to pellagra.
The opinion Of various experts has
been strongly in support OF the be-
lief that the favorite food of the
South, if spoiled, may have some
obscure connection with the dis
ease. Hence the State Board pro-
poses to study the subject as fully
as the facilities of the Department
will permit

may constipate and most old
