What's the next holiday, mamma 3"
asked Little Boy.
Thanksgiving, dear" answered
mamma rather absently. Memory
fingers with mamma, as there is deb
ris enough TO keep any reast in her
mind for day or so.
"oh, goodie! How soon is it,"
About three weeks"
ooh, that's a long time! What
shall We do to get ready?"
"Why, Wen make pies and cook
les.
What e'se?"
Plum pudding and ice cream"
"And-go on, mamma please. 4"
Nuts and raisins and cranberries."
But-but, mamma, do you mean
that Thanksgiving Is Just nothing
but eating?" came the Mortified re-
joinder.
Isn't It too bad that this holiday
that meant so much to our forefath-
ers almost 800 years ago Is now al
most "just nothing but eating?'
What could the mother do? She
cast around in her mind-a mothers
mind is really more resourceful than
the mind of a mere being who is not
a mother-for something with which
to glorify Thanksgiving to her child.
OF course she finally dug up the
storw of the sufferings and triumpls
Of the pilgrims. She didn't Just read

ed Indians and the sunlight taat glin-
ted through the forest and through
the hearts of these pioneer folk when
they realized that God had so pros
pered their hard, hard work that
there was food enough to last them
during the coming winter.
When the mother pictured the log
barns and the rude bins and cells,
all full of grain, Little Boy said, "oh
I'm so glad!"
So were they son, and so they
set aside day for their chi'drens
children forever to thank God for all
the good things that grow"

asked Little Boy.
SO then mother told him that, al

CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.

The Milton Manufacturing company,
the American Car & Foundry COM
pany, and s. ]. Sinner & Sons Of
Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued or
ders demanding that their employees
abstain from alcohol and refuse to
sign license petitions of otherwise in
dicate sympathy for the saloon.
Thirty men we're discharged by the
American Car & Foundry company
because they signed liquor license ap-
plications.
These companies do not desire to
influence the opinions of the employ
ees in regard to prohibition, but they
take the stand that the man who signs
a liquor license application does not
properly appreciate the danger of liz.
uor to himself and the community.
He is, therefore, not a safe employee
for a concern demanding efficiency.
Indulgence in the use of liquor Is
a menace to all business interests,
declared Mr.. George S. Sinner. presi.
dent of the Milton Manufacturing
company. IF the employees should
be protected by the employer, why
shouldn't the employer be as well pro
tected by the employee? Our employ
ees have congratulated us upon the
step we have taken"

KANSAS, TAX RATE DECREASES.

In 1880, under license, the Kansas
tax rate for state purposes was 5.5
mills on the dollar. The Nebraska
rate was only S.9 mills. In 1881 the
Kansas rate dropped to mills, while
the Nebraska rate increased to 61. In
1882 the figures stood: Kansas, As;
Nebraska, 81. In 1883 the rate was,
Kansas, 4.3; Nebraska, rs. In 1885 the
Kansas rate had further dropped to
80, but Nebraska. with saloons to pay
part OF her revenue. had been COM
PEELED to raise her rate to IT..
In 1914 Kansas had reached the re-
markably low figure OF IL mills, while
Nebraska, whose people failed to fol-
low Kansas example in outlawing
saloons. was suffering under rate of
7.S mills.
And yet" says the Portland (Me)
Evening Express, "the booze represen-
tatives in local option contests have
the effrontery to warn the people
against outlawing the saloons because
You will have to pay more taxes!'"

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.

DRINKING BEFORE MEALS.
At a meeting of a medical society
prominent physician read a paper on
"Appetizers," in which he gave the
results Of scientific experiments made
at Yale university. DR.. Z. II. Cleve-
land of Flower hospital. New York
city, writing of these to the New York
Times, says:
at seems that to one group Of stu
dents a good dinner was given with
out alcoholic accompaniment, and in
their case, a couple of hours later,
normal digestion was found well ad-
vanced, To the other group Of stu
dents the same dinner was given, pre-
ceded in each case by an appetizer
such as cocktail, gin fizz. etc. After
the same interval the digestive proc
esses of this second group we're found
tain chemical elements in the food
taken showed that the digestive juices
had failed to act upon them, owing to
the presence OF alcohol in combination
with these elements.
Serious and permanent interference
with normal digestion was clearly
proved by these experiments in every
instance. Had the investigations been
carried further. SO as to include the
efficiency of mental action and nerve
reaction. as well as efficiency Of d.
gestive faculties, there is no doubt
that precisely similar results would
have been obtained.
THE appetizer. SO called, is not in
reality an appetizer at all. but is a

College Students Increase

The Journal of the American Medi- cal association states that the number of college students increases during hard times and decreases in times of prosperity, although this seems para doxical. In 1914 three universities, Columbia, California and Pittsburg, gained over 1000 students each, while six, Ohio State, Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, gained over 500. Illinois, Nebraska, Cornell, Cincinnati and Michigan gained over 300.
 It is said that the increased regis tration of students is especially notice- able in professional schools, during a time of business depression, on the theory that business reverses make men realize that improved mental ca pacity is something more lasting and more to be depended on in an emer- gency than material possessions. It is predicted that there will be much more activity at American institutions of learning during the present war than abroad, although heretofore the European universities have set a standard for the world. That educa- tion abroad should languish at this time is only natural, when teachers and students alike are fighting in the armies of their respective countries. That American universities have made rapid strides during the past few years goes without saying. They are beginning to compare favorably with the best institutions of learning in Europe, some of them founded cen turies before the first college was es- tablished in this country. Columbia now has 11,294 students, California 818O, Chicago 7131, Wisconsin 6696 Pennsylvania 65O5, Harvard GAIL
 Michigan 6S19, New York university l6142, Cornell 5939 and Illinois 5664 It is noticeable that some of the
