Thought From Jane Addams Which
Demonstrates Its Lasting Effect
Is Worth Consideration.

A mother croons an old-time song as
she tolls. A father speaks kindly as
home from work he crosses the
threshold which leads to wife and rest
from labor The child-the stepping
stone between mother and father, the
connecting link-hears both song and
gentle word.
The father, still toll stained, wheth-
er he comes from field or shop, stoops
to kiss the mother, also toll stained.
He speaks softly, mayhap:
"Howdy, sweetheart; glad to be
home again"
She turns a sweat-marked face up
to his, In farmhouse or tenement. and
answers:
I'm glad to have you home"
OF all this the child is the witness.
Things of the world are yet new and
strange to it. Mysteries still confront
it. Guiding stars it is searching for,
and 10. in the very greetings of mother
and father. in their own loving atti-
tude toward each other, this unde-
veloped life finds star.
Such Is the influence of environ
ment of two personalities-that OF

New Sandwich idea That Carries With

America has the best oysters and

said Mrs. Wallace. SIS not to cook 1t
at all. There is an English saying.
The more you do TO an oyster the
more it viii do to you That means
that the more you cook it the less
nourishment you get"
But she gave them recipes to cook
the best oyster in the world, the
American oyster. Ii they were not
content to eat 1t raw. The American
salad is the best In the world, Mrs.
Wallace says, because America has
the greatest variety of fruits. yege-
tables, and other products of the gar
den and field. She gave the wamen
a recipe for a new sandwich that
number of them said they were going
to try Immediately for afternoon tea.
Two ounces of almonds are salted
and ground for the egg and almond
sandwich and passed through the
meat chopper Two finely minced hard
boiled eggs. blended with two table
spoonfuls of butter, are added, and the
whole is seasoned and spread between
thin slices of bread.

every household can use, and should
adopt, drying racks. These may be
easily made. If made of metal and
glass;, with shelves of round wooden
rods, lamps placed near the bottom
will give sufficient heat to dry dishes
quite rapidly. The drying rack should
be placed near the washer. SO that as
the dishes are washed they may be

copper as sources of wealth. Our
grains, wheat, oats, rye, rice and In
dian corn yield us enough to feed our
own people and replenish the exhaus-
ton of other lands When the crops
are abundant there is rejoicing from
coast to coast. The farmers have
many things to contend with. Some
times there is a plague of grasshop-
pers or of locusts, sometimes there Is
drought, and again there are floods,
but, on the whole, from years end to
years end, the soil gives back In Di-
vine multiplication the seed which the
human hand has sown. We cannot sit
down at the simplest Thanksgiving din
ner without seeing upon it contribu-
tions from every section of our big re-
public.
AS women and girls are the true
homemakers, it is well for them to
take sincere and intelligent inter-
est in the affairs Of their country. Men
seldom rise higher in goodness, frank
ness and patriotism than the women
whose influence over them tends TO
purity, bravery and truth. We ought
to care about the politics of our coun-
try When we thank God for peace,
wo ought to be additionally grateful
that the menace of war has been
swept out of sight by the wise lead
ership in our councils Of state When
we thank God for schools and for free
dom of speech and an untrammeled
press and good books that are as
plentiful as autumn leaves, we should
again remind ourselves and the chill
dren around us that we owe these
tokens of advanced civilization to our
republican government and to the
goodness and guardian care Of Je-
hovah, who has given us dominion
over palm and pine"
Another word may be in order.
Why should we compress our Thanks
giving into one day? Why not be
thankful all the time for the little
things as for the great ones, and
most of all for the dear ones OF
hearth and home?

American bird is always the piece
de resistance at a Thanksgiving din
ner. The domestic bird retains some
traits of primitive wildness and, as
every farmers wife knows, is prone
TO wander away, and travels, by pref
erence, in a flock.
Still looking back we discover that
after 1921 other colonies followed the
example Of Massachusetts. After the
revolution the governors of various
sta issued proclamations as Gov
ernor Bradford had done. But it was
not until 1863 that the day became ma
tlonal- 1t was then that the president
proclaimed a general thanksgiving,
and this good custom has been fol-
lowed until the present year.

be eaten in hotels and boarding

In comparison with that first har-

us glance, shall we say, at the mar

been gathered from the orchards of
Oregon, Michigan, California, Connec-

calities and states for enumeration

Hints on COOKING Eaas.

Use a vessel with straight sides "a
quart measure will do), because 1t Is
temperature than in vessel with
flaring sides. Have the water boiling
hot. Drop the eggs in and keep the
temperature up to boiling, but do not
let 1t boil. Let eggs remain in the
water eight or ten minutes; the whites
should be jelly-like, not hard. and the
yolk should also be cooked, but not
hard. Cooked in this way, eggs are
more palatable.-Home Department,

years later noted the remarkable

been standing for centuries, and still
testify to the past splendor of the
once imperial city. Crossing the At
lantfC and setting foot on the shores
of England. the past greets you on
every hand. You are Immediately
made aware that our friends across
the water are living among old tradi-
tions, while in their ceremOnials, as
when a king was crowned with his
queen at his side, they are keeping
up the customs and recalling the gran
deur that have been theirs for a thou
sand years.
Over here, in comparison with other
nations on the globs, we are still in
our childhood and can hardly be said
to have more than reached the begin
ming Of our maturity. Yet we have
eight million people, and we jostle
when we walk on the street people
who have sought us from the far east,
from the islands of the ocean, from
northern and southern Europe, and,
indeed. from everywhere beneath the
sun. To my mind there is something
wonderful and significant and heart
stirring in the thought that man of
our choice in Washington in the
White House presides as our chief ex-
ecutive over our vast territory and
our mighty mass of citizens. He sends
out word in November, and 10! the
whole commonwealth listens and
obeys. BY one consent Americans,
native-born and adopted into our
ranks from abroad, cease from busi-
ness, observe a holiday and thank
God on the last Thursday of Novem-
ber. Everyone does not go to
church, but the churches are open.
There are services, there is exquisite
music and eloquent sermons are
preached, and the nation is thus up
lifted to a higher plane, and there Is
an obvious reminder that we owe
thanks to our Creator and praise to
our Father in heaven.
Another charming feature of this
peculiarly popular and wholly Amer
lean holiday is the assembling of fam
lilies around the Thanksgiving dinner
table. Again look back, not over
thousand years, but over very nearly
three hundred, and you will see how
significant was the origin of this
annual jubilee. In 1921 Governor
Bradford of Massachusetts issued
proclamation to the little colony set
ting apart day of Thanksgiving for
the first in-gathering harvests. Should
