The principal reason that we are

that there are SO many INDICATED incipi-

The tuberculin diagnostic test must

must be devised 10y which practically all

are below par. without AN obvious cause
must be subjected TO the test. and those
found to he infected must be treated

and when properly used does no harm

Should Be Thankful.

President Wilson and Governor Hays have issued their annual procIamations designating next Thursday Nov. Roth. as our annual Thanksgiving Day The president s proclamation opens with the following paragraphs, strongly con trasting the condition of our nation with that of war stricken Europe
 It has long been the custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us and the nation
 The year that has elapsed since We last observed our day of Thanksgiving has been rich in blessings to us as people, but the whole face of the world has been darkened by war In the midst of our peace and happiness our thoughts dwell with painful disquiet upon the struggles and sutferngs of the nations at war and of the peoples upon whom war has wrought disaster with out choice or possibility of escape on their part We cannot think of our own happiness without thinking of their pitiful distress.
 Now, therefore, l. Woodrow Wilson. president of the United States of America do appoint Thursday. the 3Oth of November, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and urge and advise the people to resort to their several places of worship on that day to render thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unbroken prosperity which He has bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstinted measure.

 We are all to d certain extent de pendent upon local concerns. and since We sometimes wish to Use them. we surely owe them certain allegiance. and this allegiance involves the patron age and support and cooperation which make their very existence possible.
 On the other hand. no local concern has the right to expect people to pa tronIze them unless they can supply them with the things which they want at equitable prices The great major ity of people recognize the importance of supporting home merchants and home institutions but there are mighty few people whose sense of loyalty to home enterprises will prompt them to pay an eXorbltant price or accept a substitute for the thing they really want
 What is needed to make any com munity a success Is cooperation q mutual consideration between business men and the public in general Good goods and right prices, judIciously ad- vertised. will attract the home trade, and the home trade thus drawn. be coming the loyal patronage of satisfied buyers, will in turn enable the mer- chants to enlarge their stock and give still better service
