~ CELEBRATION Of Thanksgiving
n day seems to center around the
~ dinner table. What glorious
sight it is on this purely Amer
lean holiday to see the members OF the
family from far and near reunite on
this occasion.
AS the early celebrations were neces
sarily simple. 1t is more in keeping
with the event to include In the menu
dishes suggestive of those partaken OF
in olden times. If you have any old
dishes or pewter ware use them on
this day.
AS the family group includes both
old and young plan your entertainment
so as to be equally enjoyable for all
ages. If cost is consideration you
can make your table appear very at
tractive by keeping in mind the old
fashioned and hearty simplicity of by
gone days.
For table that is very appropriate
for an "only family" reunion a flounce
Of decorative Grape paper showing a
country scene with his majesty the
turkey strutting about Is attached to
the table cover by means Of a rope of
twisted paper in autumn coloring of
red and yellow. Place fruit basket in
the center of the table. Seasonable
vegetables may also be combined with
the fruit with very good effect.
If you do not possess an artistic bas-
ket you can make quaint shaped ones
by covering matboard with twisted
green or brown rope Grape paper and
FASTING one row after another to the
basket shape.
The candle shades are covered In
grape designed Grape paper with u
fringe Of green fringed paper. The lit
tie ice cups can be made similar to the
big basket and are trimmed with small
clusters Of grapes.
Artificial bonbon cups are similar in
design to the ice cups with small COB
blers pasted on the sides. The turkeys
which ornament the place cards can be
painted on cardboard or cut out Of a
paper napkin and mounted on the card.

on 1t expressing sentiment why you

Another clever way to decorate a
table is to have centerpiece Of wheat
standing in the center Of the table.
Around the wheat could be scattered
grains Of corn: little papier mache
turkeys could be placed as II they were
eating the corn.
Spinning wheels cut out of cardboard
could be at each place. Names should
be written in old English.

ously in the early Thanksgiving days.

OHARA -COMISH REPORT HANDS EMPLOYERS
HOT SLAM THEY CANNOT DODGE


most complete reports ever made to
the legislature, the 0'Hara vice COM
mission has declared that poverty
is the principal cause, direct and
indirect, of prostitution, after an in
vestigation into the causes of vice
that covered three years.
The report is unequivocal in this
assertion. 1t declared that to arrive
at any other conclusion would be to
dodge the issue and points to the
fact that 70 per cent of the mothers
of girls at the Geneva Home for De-
linquent Girls, who were in employ
ment, were either washwomen or
scrubwomen.
Slightly under 70 per cent of the
delinquent girls brought into the ju-
venile court of Cook county were
from families not supported by the
fathers, where the mother had be-
come the wage-earner and conditions
of poverty were extreme.
"This committee" the report de-
clares, was unable to learn of a

gators operated, who had come from
a home of even modest prosperity.
Women do not seek lives of prostitu-
ton except under economic pressure
or economic expediency or under the
handicap of moral and mental defects
resulting from previous family eco
nomic conditions.
Thousands of girls are driven into |
prostitution because of sheer inabil- |
ity to keep body and soul together on |
the low wages received by them.
''By the testimony of the girl vic
tins, in one unbroken narrative of |
hopeless struggle; by the reports of |
their private conversations from ex-
perienced Investigators; by the OBJ
servations and judgments of social
workers whose integrity has never
been questioned; and, over and above

ton of how sometimes that deficit
must be bridged; is your committee
brought irretrievably to this finding.
1t is not a matter of sentiment, or of
emotion, or of opinion. 1t is the fact,
cold, not nice, uncomplimentary to all
of us; but nevertheless the fact"
The report which defines its mean
ing of prostitution to refer to girls
and women who sell themselves for
money and not to the act of immoral
ity when not compensated, declares
that girls hope of redemption after
she has errer grades downward with
the intensity of her struggle for ex-
istence and the hope of redemption
is dimmest where the temptation is
strongest, with the girl whose wage
cannot support her.
'"The girl in receipt of living wage
is not necessarily doomed by the ini-
tial folly" the report states. "She
often redeems herself and is restored
to the world of well-behaved, pure
minded persons. The girl who is be-
low the bread line,' who is slipping
weekly further and further into debt
and misery, seldom recoVers from the
first moral lapse"
The report then goes into the tes-
timony of the State street shopkeep-
ers and mail order heads and records

HERBS As HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDIES

From the earliest history Of the
human race the world over, herbs,
roots and banks have been used as
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized world be-
fore the Christian era have handed
down to us in their writings descrip-
tions of the very same household rem
edies that are in universal use today.
These remedies were laboriously gath
cred and placed in their crudest form
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beneficial
is not doubted by anyone; today medi-
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by generations of
constant use, the authorities ON ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, banks
and herbs do not have the same medi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
a wide range of the many ills to which
the flesh is heir.
Medical science of the present day
has carefully studied the many RENE
dies in various proportions and their
effects, and have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
ducts which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is a carefully selected and
scientific combination of simple veg
etable remedies, the original formula
of which is that of distinguished
German physician. 1t is not a patent
medicine, but the result of perfected
/ private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benef-
cial for the relief of all blood, stom-
ach, liver and kidney diseases. 1t is
put up in small chocolate coated tab
let's, the most convenient form for uni
versal use. It may have its imita-
/ tons, but it has no substitutes. On
merit alone it has made a place for it
self and written its name high in the
world of family medicines, far above
many which claim to be Just as good.
1t is known as German-Ame1ican Herb
Compound, formerly sold only through
agents and by mail, but now it may be
found in all drug and general stores

officer for the third Oregon infantry,
now stationed at Palm Beach, near
San Diego, spent Monday in Ashland
seeking recrHits for the Oregon
troops now in service near the Mexi-

men short of full enlistment and the
opportunity is offered many young
men to secure a good military train
ing in actual service. The pay is SIS
a month and all expenses, including
a $40 outfit, and in all probability
the troops will not be kept in service
longer than six motnhs. Mr.. Winn
