He reflected that across the Atlantic millions
of human beings were at that very moment en-
gagged in the dreadful task of killing other human
beings with every invention which ingenuity and
skill could bring forth from the laboratories Of
science and the workshops Of industry.
In other lands at that very moment tens Of
thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless
folk-feeble, aged men and women, mothers with
babes clinging convulsvely to their breasts, little
children sobbing in terror, vast army of the in
nocent and the anguished-were enduring the
tremities of exposure, of hunger, and of despair
as they fled from their wasted farmsteads and
burning villages, escaping from the pitiless cruelty
of savage only to lie down to suffer and die
under the pitiess skies of God in the winter and
the bitter storms.
At that very moment most dreadful war hid
half the world in the backness of its darkness
and from that horrid cloud raned destruction
upon unhappy EurOpe-upon her ancient capitals,
upon her pleasant cities, upon her villages, her
fields her temples, her treasures of art upon all
the accumuatons of a thousand years of genius,
of learning, Of industry. of skill and Of patient
advancement of the happiness and the civilization
of the race of man.
So he that considered all this wickedness that
was being done under the sun, this drunken dance
of death and hell above the fetid corpses and the
multtudnOus graves, this awful nightmare of In
descrbable and wrath said in the bitterness
of his heart that no God ruled over such maniac
world and there was thanksgiving due to the
Oliver Of Gifts that not good but everyone
altogether evil.
And when the had made an end OF his
thinking he went and stood In n window and
looked out upon the evening, because 1t was fair
to see.
He saw in vision Mt that instant the vastness
of the republic and the multitude OF the good and
happy folk who live under the shelter of its
strength. He reflected how brief n time had thus
magnifed the works Of pioneer fathers and
our pioneer mothers. those brave and simple men
and women whose names should never be men,
toned with anything but profound gratitude
And to this American, glad with great pride
in the deeds of his people and the story of his
country and grateful to the Goodness which has
guided and sheltered his fathers and his folk,
lifted up his eyes to the night, to the quiet stars,
to the brooding immensely above, and said In his
heart:
THANK God that am an Americana
And, citizens that is the one outstanding,
spendid fact for which each Of us should
soberly and most gratefully thank God on Thanks
giving day this year.
The finest thing you possess or ever can pos
sess is just your American citizenship 1t Is
neither necessary becoming on this day or
on any other day, to cheaper this brthrght OF
ours by brag or spreadeage defamation.
But II is highly becoming on this Thanksgiving
day to feel deep gratitude and manly pride
In this heritaga

AnC 50 We firmly believe you do feel.
We all hear it repeated that patriotism is a
thing of the past; that people have become
commercialized that the masses have no deep
rooted loyalty to the country; that our rich men
put dollars above the obligations of their citizen
ship; that our poor folk little for the ideals
of free government; that we Americans de-
cadent In the virtues and valor which marked
our fathers.
That is not true.
If there be any power in the world which plots
war against us Americans and promises itself VIC
tory the assumption of our decadence
in loyalty that power will find how terrible was
its mistake when country calls her sons to
battle I'm her defense.
We have, 1t is true, in capacity as n col
lective people, left undone things that should
have been done and done things which should
have been left undone; and there is more truth
than there should be in much that is jeeringly
said by those who hate us.
We acknowledge that much of our politics Of
tends common decency.
We see, here and there painful evidence of
ruption among lawmakers and even among the
judges who should know Only justice and in
tegrity.
We see rich men who do betray their country
and foul their hands and soil their souls with
most Infamous dealings and most shameful
profits.
We see Americans who do put the dollar above
every consideration OF right and duty above the
claims of common humanity.
But while these things are true, 1t Is true also
that the heart and conscience Of the American
people, take them as a nation are sound and
sane and wholesome

Of their sons The spirit of the nation may in

Be sure the leftover food Is not con-
taminated by flies. Be sure the icebox
is immaculate. Remember that germs
cannot resist boiling. and If there is
any sick child or person in the house.

ware in the sick room and boil it thor
Oughly before 1t Is used again or by
another member of the family. Fly
screens are useful in keeping out flies
but do not save one from the neces.
sity Of killing the flies that are already
inside the house. All fruit and vege-
tables should be very carefully washed
and, better still, peeled If they have
had much handling. Take reasonable
precautions of this kind and theA
