THE Value OF TRUTH

Truth in businessis just as important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence. establishes goodwill and
builds reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untarnished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days of authorizations
it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil
incidentally perfected with glycerine and
hypophosphites to build strength, inn
prove the blood and strengthen the lungs.

The United Colonies First Thanksgiving

1 The annual custom of Observing
Thanksgiving dates from the year 1897
according to Henry Trumbulrs History
Of tho Indian Wars. published in 1876,
instead of the form of the First
Thanksgiving observed in 1922 by our
forefathers in Plymouth. Indeed it was
the custom of the early Governors to
appoint a day for Thanksgiving and
prayer in return for all their blessings.
But. it was for what was termed the
Miraculous escape of the Inhabitants
of Hadley. Mass, from Total Destruc-
tion., Owing Largely to the Bravery of
a Small Band of Women" that an An
nual Day of Thanksgiving became uni
versal throughout New England.
It was during the terrible French and
Indian Wars in the month OF April in
the year 1897, when the good men of
Hadley had marched against the COM
mon enemy, that 500, savages sur
rounded the little town. The women,
instead Of giving up to the fear and
terror of the hour mounted an pound
cannon that had previously been re-
eeivcd by the town for its defence.
This they carefully loaded with small
shot nails etc. and made ready to de-
fend themselves and their little ones
and their homes. At this critical mo-

ment, as if sent by Divine Providence
of God, Major Talcott arrived in the
vicinity of Hadley with Three Compan-
les of Cavalry. But the Indians had
the advantage and for a considerable
time the 500 savages seriously engaged
the troops. Many Indians climbed to
the tops of tall trees and sent down
showers of arrows upon the horsemen
also singing their hatchets with I'm
erring aim, while the cavalry gave
them a vary warm reception charging
again and again with cutlasses.
But when the fight was becoming
desperate the brave women of Hadley
arrived upon the scene dragging their
cannon behind them, which quickly put
the whole body of savages to rout So
it was through the heroism of a few
brave women that not only they them
selves. their children. but also the lives
of many brave English soldiers were
saved.
And because of this and other sue
cesses of the English arms the Cow
ernor and Council of the United Col
onies, appointed the 9th Day of Au-
gust 1879. ITO be Observed throughout
the Colonies as a Day of Public
Thanksgiving of Praise to Almighty
God"

Skin foods and face creams and
powders cannot make a woman beau
tiful, because beauty lies deeper than
that--it depends on health. In most
cases the basis of health and the cause
of sickness can be traced to the action
of the bowels.
The headache, the lassitude, the sal
low skin, and the lusterless eyes are
usually caused by constipation. An
ideal remedy for women. and one that
is especially suited to their delicate
organisms, is found in DIR. Caldwell's
