Thanksgiving Dinner

The daily food of the average Ameri-
can family is simple, ample and whole
some every day III the year so we do
not need TO make Thanksgiving lust a
time for eating. We want three of four
kinds of pies, rich pudding and a
great important golden brown turkey
and all manner Of happy touches on our
dinner table for old times sake. They
belong to us and it is our right to have
these things this day-but remember
the Day becomes less and less if you let
the table grow fatter and fatter each
year. To let the dinner dominate the
day brings the wonder of this magnifi-
cent festival to an everyday level
Make it, mothers day full of riches
to the family and of enjoyment and
power to the community.
To carry out the original spirit of
the day the dinner should be of harvest
foods, with table and rooms decorated
with sheaves of wheat, autumn leaves
and flowers, vegetables and fruits. A
real harvest home festival
Has the turkey rival9 Ah no. It
is too distinctively an American bird
to suffer by sharing its place now and
then with some less gorgeous fowl. AL
ways we long for it on Christmas and
Thanksgiving and when its price scars
gently up the ladder costs we send a
heartfelt, regretful sigh after. When
perchance family really cares more
for the moister flesh of wild duck or
the pleasant zest of tender ham
baked to the last stage of perfection
the fact is mentioned with apology 1t
seems little short of lack of patriot
ism to like anything else better than
turkey.
But if you must through circum-
stances, or strange trick of appetite,

The Baseball Tourists.

We are glad that the ball
players had a good time on
their globe-encircling trip.
We are glad If foreign coun-
tries think well of baseball,
II being a great game. Ana
we hope the players made a
good impression on the
folks that saw them on
their journey.
But we cannot shed any
tears Of joy over their re-
turn. There is a lot Of hys-
terra about ball players.
These players advertised
the game, and going around
the world Is o. X. But they
didn't go because they
thought the inhabitants OF
Italy or anywhere ought to
know about the game, but
because they could serve
their interests better that
way. That is o. k, too.
Only we hate to see q lot Of
things done in the name of
altruism that are nothing OF
