Folks who enjoy perfect digesti on,
and sat down to their Thanksgiving
dinner yesterday with a keen appe-
tite would not perhaps appreciate Mrs.
McCarthy's feelings when she was
able to sit down to a great big din
ner and eat and enjoy every bit of it
from the soup to dessert for the first
time in five years. But those who
know the distressing discomfort of in
digestion and other stomach or con-
stitutional disorders will be deeply in
terested in her story.

THE HOUSE OF HAPSBURG.

It will be 68 years tomorrow since
the late Emperor Francis Joseph,
lad of E18, assembled the throne Of
Austria, succeeding his uncle, the
craven Ferdinand T., who had abdi-
Gated in the face Of storm Of pop
ular disapproval. The house Of
Hapsburg, Of which the youthful
Charles Francis Joseph is now the
head, derives its name from the
Habichtsburg or Hawks Castle of
Switzerland near Brugg, the ruins
OF which are still to be seen. It was
built in the eleventh century. The
first Count of Hapsburg was Werner
II. The descendants Of this count
augmented their possessions, and in
1878 Rudolph Of Hapsburg was elect
ed Emperor Of Germany. His son,
Albert, was also a wearer of the i'm
perial purple, but under the grand
sons OF the latter the line separated
into two branches, numbering among
it's members the Emperor Albert IL,
a. fifteenth century ruler Of Germany.
This line became extinct in 1888, but
in the meantime the other line, in
the person of Frederick H., had
gained the throne of Germany
Frederick III. died in 1893, and his
descendants were strong enough to
make the German imperial. dignity
stationary and almost hereditary in
their house. The last Of the Haps-
burg eraperors Of Germany was
Francis T., who resigned the German
imperial title in 1906, and became
emperor of Austria only. His sue
cessor was Ferdinand T., who re-
inquished the crown on Dec. 2, 184S,
and entrusted the sovereignty Of his
rebellious country to Francis Joseph,
whose long reign, SO replete with
tragedies, recently came to an end.
The house Of Hapsburg also ruled
in Spain for many years, gaining the
throne just four centuries ago, in
1916. The Spanish line of the Haps-
burgs became extinct in 100, and
was followed, after a great struggle
Of succession against Austria, by the
Bourbons.

Salvation Army :
Gives Dinnersto
Poor Families

Thirty-five poor families Of Bridge
port, enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiv-
ing dinner yesterday through the eff
forts Of Adjutant Edwin j. Perrett.
Ensign Stewart and the local officers
and members Of the Salvation Army.
The dinners were distributed in bas-
kets and altogether there was food
enough for zoo persons. The distrib-
ution was made from the automobile
truck used in the Industrial depart
ment of the Army. The food dis
tributed was the very best to be OBJ
tanned and the average. cost Of each
basket was $3.50. The families sup
piled had been previously visited by
members Of the Army or by agents
of the Organized Charities associa-
ton.
Each basket contained one chicken
or fowl, according to the size Of the
family; two quarts of potatoes; one
quart onions; one quart turnips; one
pint cranberries; bunch celery; can
Of milk; can of soup; half pound of
sugar; half pound of butter; half
pound of coffee; loaf of bread; one
pie; three oranges and one copy of
the War Cry.
The following goods were used in
filing the baskets:
Eighty-five pounds roasting chick
ems, Is pounds, turkey; As pounds,
fowl; 2 IL bushels of potatoes; 1
bushel onioms;e bushe1 Of turnips
Is quarts of cramberries; 35 bunchs

Land can be gone over very rap
idly in this way. che lister fur
rows may be leveled with disk
lister cultivator after the wheat
has made sufficient growth to
protect the soil.
The proper use of the sub
surface packer will considerably
decrease the chances of blowing.
The packer should be heavily
weighted and the field gone over
in an east and west direction.
The packer wheels leave the soil
in ridged and furrowed condi-
ton, which under ordinary con-
ditions prevents the soil particle )
from obtaining a start IN that
! they do not move more than four
or five inches without falling in
to packer wheel furrow. Strong
winds long continued may finally
cause the burrows to become fill
ed and blowing may take place
regardless of the effort to con-
troll it. A disk set straight and
weighted can sometimes be used
to advantage, but it may damage
some wheat and is not a salts
factory implement. Where the
ground is loose, the use of the
packer may be beneficial in firm
ing soil.
The harrow is sometimes used
to stop blowing, but the use of
the Implement is always more or
less dangerous. When the
ground IS lightly crusted and
blowing is beginning, the har-
row may be used to advantage,
especially if the lower portion of
the crust is moist and consider
able wet soil IS mixed with the
dry surface soil.
Soil drifting can easily be pre-
vented by spreading straw thin
ly over the fields. This requires
time and is not sultab BILE when
