The pious, hard-driven, WORKOUT, but
thankful Puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, few CEN
turtles ago, and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what
lengths they were to drive the in
genuity of their poor descendants.
But it wasn't their fault after all, that
the preparer of the Thanksgiving feast
today has to attend just as much to
the turkeys surroundings as to the
turkey itself. 1t was good enough for
them to have a well-stocked larder
from which could come the turkey, the
celery, the pumpkin pie, the cranber-
ries and all the other goodies which
history puts down to their credit.
Even the comparatively recent New
Englanders were content with all
these as long as they looked tempting
and tasted good. But today, even the
important fowl itself is hardly more
important than the ribbons, the CAL
dies, the favors, the adornments OF
all kinds, which must appear on the
Thanksgiving table.
Don't bother about having too
much to eat" an up-to-date daughter
was heard to say to her New England
mother the other day. Il want plenty
of room for the ribbons and the candy
boxes"
It's the same way with other daugh-
tiers of an esthetic turn of mind, rath-
er than a practical one, and it looks
as # their ambitions to make things
look pretty" may be realized this year,
for there is a goodly array of Thanks
giving favors and table decorations of
all kinds.

"The numerous cases of kidney and

To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out Of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-

most Of all, you must keep these acids
