of THANKSGIVING. The fire cracked
merrily. The dull varnish on the old
chairs and cupboard put on brighter
luster The tea kettle began a real
anthem, and-at last-grandma'
heart warmed up, too, and began to
sing with it. For the first time that
day she was thankful for her home
and her children, who, she said, didn't
know how dreary it was to be left all
alone on Thanksgiving day.
She was just smuggling the turkey
a fine plump yeIlow-skinned one her
farmer son had sent by parcel post
when a rapping on the front door
nearly caused her to drop it into the
fire. For five seconds she stood dazed
and it took another rap to recall her
wandering thoughts.
Near the door of the living room
hung a picture of the entire family
mother and father and sons and
daughters-all standing in three
straight rows. AS grandma passed
it, she noticed every eye gazing at her
with keenest scrutiny. Even her for
mer self was watching her present &C
tions with curious attention. But all
she did that they could see was to pull
down her sleeves, take off her ging-
ham apron and open the door.
Are you ready?" asked pleasant
faced boy.
Are you ready?" cried her friends
voice from the well-filled automobile
at the curb.
81 declare I can't CO." said grand
ma, quietly.
"Oh, why?" called the well mean
ing woman. ct 'phoned mother you
were coming. She will be dreadfully
disappointed.
The children would think 1 was
crazy if 1 run away on Thanksg1v1n,
grandma quavered with one of her
sweet smiles.
TOO bad" was the rejoinder. and
the car whizzed away, leaving the SOL
itary figure standing in the doorway,
a picture of heroic resignation.

day." she mumbled as she closed the
door. eff it want for carin' for me

Thus reminded of her dinner, she
started for the kitchen As she
passed the picture she stopped. And

she now sa wsmiles. To any eye but
hers they might not have been visible,
but to her they were real, and she
smiled back in gladness that she was

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-F You Know DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples- bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, we1l-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.
You will know DIR. Edwards Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and

Az soon as Mr.. Turkey heard the
sound by the fence, he turned around
in hurry.
Here's where they get me out, he
thought, contentedly. But he was mis-
taken. 1t wasn't anyone to get MN
out at ALL 1t was only Toppy Cotton

fence wires and asking what was up.
.'Nothin's up" grumbled Mr.. Tur-
key. he was too disappointed to be
very polite you see, I'm in
so 1 see," laughed Toppy, and
somehow his easy good nature didn't
please the imprisoned turkey one bit.
How did you get in
Mr.. Turkey told him all about the
excitement in the farmyard; how he
had run hither and yon in his effort
to get away from the farmer and how
the other farmyard folk had made all
the racket they could in an effort to
frighten the farmer away-but all in
vain but I'm not worrying" said
Mr.. Turkey, placidly, they won't let
me stay here long. I'm the finest tur-
key in the flock, They'll get me out. -
THAT so?" said Toppy. with a fun
ny little wiggle of his nose. And,
somehow, the way Toppy said that
So and the funny way he wiggled his
nose, didn't make Mr.. Turkey feel any
better. 1t seemed almost as tho Toppy
had said. DO you really believe that ?''
Mr.. Turkey began to feel very queer
and more than a little panicky.
You think they will, don't you ?''
he asked, hurriedly.
Toppy thought a minute "It isn't
what L think-it's what they do that S
going to matter" he said, finally
Hadn't you better be trying to t
yourself out?''
But Mr.. Turkeys tottering faith n

good thing and sometimes isn't) was

So extensive are the ramifications
of the high cost of living that it hits
consumers both going and coming and
from all directions. For instance. to
keep the states institutions going as
they should, the coming session of the
legislature will have to increase the
appropriations for them by a full
$75O.OO0. and this. of course, means
higher taxes.

One of the strongest proofs of the
very great change that has come over
Portland" says Mayor Albee, ''is to
be found in the comparative figures of
arrests of DRINKS and Migrants, the
period from January / to May 1, 1916,
showing 2, ITS DRINKS and 1888 va
grants arrested; for the same period
in 1916, 504 DRINKS and ASP Migrants
have been arrested.
Reports from the police and other
sources make certain that Portland
has undergone great revolution since
the first of the year; indeed, it scarce
ly seems possible that conditions can
be so greatly improved as they are,
in so brief period of time. How
ever, the facts bear out the statement
that they are so.
"As to business conditions, accord
ing to reliable information, they are
improved. L have partially complet-
ed survey OF the city, covering groc-
ers and druggists, and with but very
few exceptions the proprietors say
that their business is improved, and
that. collections are much better than
formerly. Old accounts, they de-
clare, are also being liquidated, and
the general tone of conditions is along
the line of betterment since the liquor
business was put under the ban. New
buildings are replacing the old shacks
in which saloons were formerly con-
Quoted, and the necessities of life are
being sold at counters where drinks
were formerly dispensed.
I'VE are all familiar with improved
moral conditions as related to the Soc
ial evil. Underworld characters, both
men and women, began leaving the
city shortly after the law became eff
fective, and are still doing so, thus
Kidding the city of the results of their
illegal practices.
81 rejoice that Portland is a saloon
less city; that Oregon is a dry state,
and that we have here as result a
country that is a fine place to rear
boys and girls and in which to main
tain happy homes. | trust the time
will come speedily when our whole
country will be rid of the curse of the
liquor traffic"

Pleasing Combinations


The shortest and surest way to live
with the honor of the world, is to be
in reality what we would appear to
be- all human virtues increase and
strengthen themselves by the prac-
tice and experience of them.-Soc-
rates.
There are such lovely colrs in the
fruits and vegetables which we put
upon our tables that with a little
taste and study of color combina-
tons many artistic results may be
.yobtained.We should be as careful
about putting colors that clash, to-
gether in a dish of foods, as we
should in combinations of colors in
n wearing apparel.
As the eye is an important organ
to please in regard to food, it is quite
necessary that we prepare our food
so that it appeals to the sight. Same
ness and monotony are relieved by a
touch of color in the garnish and dull
ness is relieved by contrast in the
courses.
Few cooks ever make the mistake
of serving the same food repeated in
some other form in the meal, for ex-
ample serving tomato soup and toma-
TO salad; this occurs, however, often
er than it should.
A beet salad cut in small cubes,
dressed with boiled or a mayonnaise
dressing that has been tinted with
pink coloring, using some of the beet
water or little vegetable color, is a
most pleasing and appetizing dish.
A small crescent of lemon and a
spray of parsley makes a most dainty
garnish for whitefish. For the fish
course at dinner a crescent of potato
rolled in chopped parsley furnishes
yhe bit of vegetable that is always
tasty with the fish. Another way to
use lemon and parsley is to cut a
thin slice, leaving on the colorful yell
low peel and in the center of the slice
heap a littel finely minced parsley.
Use these slices as a garnish on the
platter with the fish.
