I'M thankful that I've got daddy \ To work for me with all his might:
 He always calls me Little Laddy,''
 And says at I'm his hearts delight; He often sets me on his shoulder
 And helps 10 i'll the house with noise: Hes bigger than l am and older,
 But mother calls Us her two boys. I'm thankful that he never worries
 Because my hands ain't nice and white I'm thankful that he always hurries
 Back home to Us when it gets night: I'm always thankful when it's Sunday.
 Cause when it's Sunday why. you see He doesn't haft to work ill Monday
 Or do thing but play with me. I'm thankful that he never scolds me Except when I've been actin bad And every night almost he holds me
 Tight in his arms and says he's glad; Our blessin's. mother says. are many,
 And. gee, but wouldn't it be fine If every body that hasn't any
 Could have a daddy just like mine?

; AMERICA'S DAY
When Prayers of Thanksgiving Arise From Hearts of Crate
 full Nation.
EMORY J. HAYNES.

n I'D you ever see the sun rise out D of the ocean? For nearly four
 hours the dawn of Thanksgiving day has been feeling it's way westward across the sea before it breaks on America. Half a league onward, the gray light creeps over the un- inhabitable waste of waters. The new faint light cohorts of outriders are scouting ahead of the monarch sun. They are seeking the coast of Maine, feeling for the Cape of Hatteras. For this is to be a great day in America. |. If the sun were a god. marching over the Atlantic spaces. one would put the words in his mouth: You ships on which flash, am not con tent with you alone, nor with you Lighthouses, which 1 now touch with my spears of sunbars. l seek a con tinent of grateful human dwelling, | gild church spires. burnish the white walls of great cities. gleam in farm house windows, the homes of men. 1t is not a day of toll but of thankful. joyous rest l will march over the vast areas of mighty states. cross riv CTS and lsIes, climb the Saharas and beyond. before slip again into the Pacific ocean For this is a day set apart to me Men are waiting, out of harness, for the sunbeams. l ac- knowledge their tokens. make the American flag beautiful everywhere in my blue sky. thousands of flags dip ping to give thanks. l do hear the ring ing of bells, the shouts of play, the laughter of kinsmen greeting kinsmen. and the voice of a nations prayer"
 But the sun is no god day is merely a stretch of hours There is Maker of the sun who trains it to be but the servant of his children. There is an All-Seeing Eye which views us at our grateful offices. Let us try to think of it that way. Then the day has a meaning.
 Thinking of it all in that way, what a sublime day it is. whole youth ful nation with uplift hands and merry hearts. This nation has been, at times. in tears. Today it bursts icto laughter and the sounds of thankful ness-the fragrance of a feast fills the air. It is a very festival of char ity, when none is proud or selfish, when the poor are not forgotten.
 Have you ever watched the clouds awaking by mists rising by the advancing sun? What a spectacle 1t would be if, from star. one could witness this uprising of sun-touched vapor from valley to plain across continent. So does the nations praise arise with incense of thanksgiving Remember that. by this figure, we are seeking to make our answering ado ration visible to our minds.
 And there is no beauty in a sunset except if there be clouds to take on the gliding. So may the evening be, of this glad day, for "The Lord God is our sun and shield" When the day is done may heavens blessings. vet to be sent us. be more than the eve ming stars for multitude Stars on stars. the light from many a star is so distant that it has never yet reached us. But it is on the way.

WHY :ANURIC" IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will take risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and re- port whether you are a good risk. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep is disturbed two or three times night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide experience-sucha as Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for sample package of his new discovery "Anuric." Write him your symptoms and send sample of urine for test

SOCIETY WoFNAN'S PLAY LEADS
TO MUCH GOSSIP
Mrs. Arthur Adds is the wife of
millionaire real estate operator. She
lives in a big bungalow at Lake For
ert, where the Armours and Swifts
grow roses and Jimmy Simpson wa
tiers his pansies. It's-about the last
place some people would go to find
a woman who knows the underworld.
Now Mrs. Adds has written a play.
It's out in the Little Review.
, And this play is about broken-doWn
girl of the streets, young thing who
gave herself to men for money, is
wrecked by the life and is dying in
hospital.
A charity worker and a Salvation
army woman come in and try to say
nice things and make it easier for the
prostitute to die and meet her God.
And she tells all these professional
comforters to go away and let her
face death alone.
The play is going to be produced
in a little outdoor theater at Lake
Forest. 1t will be seen by a number
of men and women who are support
ers of organized charities. 49,,

son, editor of the Little Review. For
honest handling of life in some of its
fiercest angles, we hear it compared
with the stories of Maxim Gorky.
Mrs. Adds was at one time pro-
fessional actress. She has been a
keen student of the slum plays of Joe
Medill Patterson. She believes the
drama can be used to advantage for
influencing public thought and so has
been an enthusiastic worker for the
Little Theater and movements for
making the drama more vital ele-
ment in the lives of more people,

him she will send back messages of
