This is the 294th anniversary Of
Thanksgiving day, Joyous occasion
which was invented by the Pilgrim
Fathers in 1921 and has been handed
down from generation to generation In
company with the brass bed warmer
and the spinning Wheel The supply
of these last named articles has been
steadily on the increase since the revo-
lutionary war, but Thanksgiving day
comes only once year and cannot be
successfully cc.2terfe,ted
The first Thanksgiving day was
called to order by Governor Bradford
Immediately after corn husking time,
in order to celebrate the discovery
that something would grow on the
rock bound coast Of New England be-
sides scenery and summer resorts. It
had been year of bounteous harvests,
and the cellar OF every home was
heaped with Early Rose potatoes and
the satin-skinned Bermuda onion. This
was cause enough for rejoicing in
new land which was infested by the
red brother to such an extent that a
man could hardly step out to draw q
pail of water without being punctured
between the shoulder blades by flint
headed arrow.

TOO MUCH KISSING
KILLS MANY BABIES
DURING WINTER MONTHS

Chicago.-Babies are dying in Chi
cago every day from being kissed,
physicians declare.
The approach Of winter with its
prevalence Of colds and throat infec-
! ton, which is transferred to babies
thru kissing, Is causing great deal
OF sickness, some fatal, they add;
kissing babies ought to be peni-
Tertiary offense," DR.. Effie Lobdell de-
clared yesterday.
"A case came to my attention today
that almost caused the death of child.
A sore throat infection which de-
veloped assesses that pressed upon
the windpire and almost caused
strangulation could have been the re-
suit of nothing but kissing, according
to my diagnosis. A prompt operation
at the Eye Ear, Nose and Throat hos
pital saved the baby's life.
People who do not have any of the
symptoms themselves, or who have
on the lips can transfer germs that
cause serious results. Diphtheria, sore
throat and colds can be given baby
by persons who do not know that they
have the germs. Infections Of the
AT this time of year conditions are
at their worst, and everybody has
what we call colds to a greater or
less degree. Even without any infec-
ton, just working in bad air will make
the transfer of germs to baby lips pos
sible. Giving baby a pacifer is an
other crime.
colder people can choose for them
selves but baby can not object when
its little mouth is kissed by its ador-
ing relatives.
THE same thing holds true of kiss
ing as of the public drinking cup" as
serted DR.. Arthur c. Corwin, throat
specialist at Rush Medical College.
Il would not want to say how many
children are made i'll or killed by be-
ing kissed. There are no statistics on
the subject. kissing in any case is
bad, it stands to reason, but in the
case of children and babies it is par
ticularly bad
Children with enlarged glands or
throat infection or even colds" should
be taken to the state hospital for eye,
ear. nose and throat diseases at Sanga-
mon avenue and Adams street, where
diagnosis will be made free of charge
and treatment recommended, DR.. Lob
dell has stated.

MAKING EACH HAND WASH tn. OTHER

Sioux City has been engaged in q
trade propaganda worth watching. The
cigar manufacturers started a move
ment in favor of home made cigars.
The result is that the sales of the
home product have nearly doubled ac-
cording to reports. Without much
doubt the home manufacturers can
hold the advance if they furnish goods
equal in price and quality to those
manufactured elsewhere.
The incident and its present success

WHERE Mr.. FORD is RlaH1.

Henry Ford. DESTROYS of peace and
urging the president to take certain
steps toward contamination so de-
sirable declares that he will go any
where and do anything and give all
his money to bring about peace.
Without much doubt he means what
he says But Mr.. Ford is against a
proposition where his money is drop
in the bucket and his ability to infiu-
ence and command neglible. Peace
is not purchasable. All Mr. Ford's
money wouldn't pay for a day of
peace. Mr.; Ford, influential and pow
erful in Detroit, is as helpless before
the great war cataclysm as ne would
be in an earthquake.
But Mr. Ford voices a feeling that
IS common in this country, that peace
is worth all our money and personal
sacrifice of everything except the
rights Of men. 1t is true that in GER
tain parts of the country a sort of war
hysteria born between fear and sordid
interest exists. But the American SEN
timent and desire is for peace. And in
that Mr.. Ford is representative of his
section, the great intermontane ter
ritory of the United States.
The war in Europe must be fought
out to exhaustion. When that time
comes the United States will probably
be accepted as mediator. Until then
neither money nor appeal is likely TO
avail. But meantime We can follow
Henry Ford's proposition that peace
at home is worth all that it may cost.
In that Mr.. Ford speaks for his coun-
try.

AUTOMOBILES AND CHILDREN.
Hardin County Citizen.l

Hardin County Citizen.1
This paper has remarked at vari-
Gus times that automobile drivers
can not be too careful and it might
be remarked that the caution can not
be too often repeated. Generally
speaking, automobile drivers are en-
tirely too careless and wreckless.
There is no such thing as being too
careful.
These suggestions apply especially
to people driving in town. There
are children everywhere, little boys
and girls going to and from school,
little boys and girls crossing the
streets, children playing on the
streets, boys riding on delivery wagons,
little ones everywhere.
1t is useless to say that children
must stay at home. They have just
as good right to travel the town as the
automobiles have. 1t is useless to strive
to place the blame for accidents on the
children. They who drive automobiles
are supposed to be responsible. They
are supposed to have judgment, they
are supposed to protect the children
and little ones, they are expected to
handle their machines SO that accident
IS practically impossible.
Generally speaking. placing the re-
sponsibility and blame on child is
cowardly. There are occasional ex-
ceptions, perhaps. but in the main no
driver can escape eternal judgment by
blaming the little ones.
Neither can officials whose bust
ness 1t is to enforce the laws escape
by blaming the child. If laxity spat-
ters their hands with blood, the
stains can not be washed away with
the tears of children.
Automobile drivers can not be too
careful. Public officials can not be
too strict.
When the little life goes out, pray
you, sir, whose child may it be?
