The ThankmI Heart

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.-Ephesians 20.
 The thankful spirit is the true and source of happy life. There plenty of things to be thankful for, and 1t Is wise to make an effort to find them. They never far away. They under control. We their masters God made us that way. We may be in touch with very disagreeable people, but if do not like dis agreeable feelings we need not have them. There are many good things to think of with reference to such people. Be missionary to them Think how nice 1t would be if such person had sweet disposition and let your own radiate It's virtues.
 We can rejoice and be glad no matter where we Paul and Silas sang hymns while in jail. Why not? It was bad enough to be in jail. God good to them. He revealed to them facts of eternal life. These were good things to think about, and why should they not enjoy them? To sing was reasonable thing to do. God had gv- them something against the day of trouble and they used 1t. Why should not we? What is the of being miserable when we can just as well be happy? God is near in the joys and com forts of life as well as in trials and tempta- tions. We have good reasons to be thankful un- der all conditions of life The sun always shines matter about the clcHds. Daylight is a good thing, but the best thing is, God created us ilf ts

the rearing of turkeys under semi-domestication- though in this case the species dealt with is the tame one On this island, which is the most sue cessful turkey farm in the world, the blras are permitted to run wild, and are not even turnlshed with any shelter, other than they can find among the trees and scrub. But plenty of corn is thrown about where they get it.
 In this artificial wilderness, 1t might be called which covers an area of about 4,00o acres, the turkeys get close to nature as possible In deed the whole idea of their management Is to let them alone, interfering with them as little as possible. In the winter time their heads often freeze under their wings when they at roost. But the exposure does them no harm; on the con- trary, 1t renders them exceedingly vigorous, and they attain huge size, the gobblers sometimes weighing as much 50 pounds when sent to market
 Every spring a few wild gobblers trapped for the purpose in Virginia or the Carolinas, are in- troduced into the focks Fishers island to tribute fresh blood. This is esteemed matter of the utmost importance Our tame turkeys toriously difficult birds to rear, under ordinary cir cumstances, being delicate and liable to epidem- ios-on which account many farmers have given up trying to raise them The reason why is sim ply that there has been too much in breeding and the stock has lost it's hardness.
 number of varieties of the tame turkey have been developed by breeding, she principal ones being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate, and the White, the Black and the Narragansett The White originally albino But all of these are derived from single species, which is of Mexican origin. There is only one other known species which is native to Yueatan and Guatema la It is called the "ocelBated turkey owing to the fact that it's tail is ornamented with eyes like that of the peacock. It is one of the most beauti full of birds its feathers blazing with metallic factions of gold, green, blue and bronze.

Taking Care of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo~ pie paid as much attention to their health and strength as they do now Time was when fine stock and fine horses were fed more carefully than human beings.
 The result of properly balanced ra- tions has worked wonders with stock and recent experiments are proving that the same thing is true of man. kind.
 It has been found that Quaker Scotch Oats eaten often and regularly taking the place of heavy. greasy foods will work wonders ia the health and strength of a family.
 School children fed frequently on Quaker Scotch Oats thrive physically and are always capable of the best work at school. For athletes, laborers. it is the best food. 10
 For those who live in hot climates the dramatically sealed tins are best.

CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of
 Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of med icines.
 There are some truly scientific phy- sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regard less of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance:
 Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation.
 ''I heard of doctor who has a sum- mer cottage near me-a specialist from N. Y., and as a last hope, sent for him.
 After he examined me carefully he advised me to try small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom- ach became stronged to eat more.
 T kept at it, and gradually got so could eat and digest three teaspoon fuls. Then began to have color in my face, memory became clear, where be- fore everything seemed blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So steadily recovered.
 Now, after year on Grape-Nuts weigh 153 lbs. My people were sur prised at the way I grew feshy and strong on this food.''

our greatest game bird from final ex. tinction.
 The wild turkey, of course, is a species entirely distinct from the tame bird with the white-meated breast. One reason why it's preser- .vation is important is that it is needed to contribute from time to time it's hardy blood and n1uchprized game flavor to the domesticated va riety by interbreeding The compar- atiyely dark meat of the breast of many of the tame turkeys that come to market nowadays at the Thanks giving season Is attributable to such matings, which are eagerly sought by the knowing producer of feath- cred stock.
 The wild turkey is 90 notoriously shy that most people would be in elined to suppose it incapable of do mesticatien. Such an inference, how ever, according to the expert, is mistaken one. As matter of fact, the bird is not by nature much afraid of man, out rather tame and soci- able, so far as human beings are con- cerned. In Massachusetts during early colonial days there were great numbers of wild turkeys, and ire quently they made themselves at home in the close neighborhood of the dwellings of settlers.
 To-day the species is entirely ex- tinct in New England, and in other parts of the country the fowl is ex- tremely wild and hard to shoot-not, however, because of a natural shy ness of disposition, but simply for the reason that 1t has been hunted and trapped so persiStently. If wild
