FOR THANKSGIVING DAY
President Sets Apart November 30
as Day of Praise for Blessings of
Peace and UnbrOken
Prosperity.

Washington. Nov. l7.-President
Wilson today formally by proclama-
ton designated Thursday, November
80, as Thanksgiving Day.
Here follows the Presidents proc
lamation:
"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 thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
as as a people, but the whole face
of the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst OF our peace and
happiness, our thoughts dwelt with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
and sufferings of the nations at war
and of the peoples upon whom war
has brought disaster without choice
or possibility of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our own happi-
ness without thinking of their pitiful
distress.
Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
of America. do appoint Thursday. the
30th of November, as a day of ma
tional Thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to resort
to their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to AL
mighty God for the blessings of
peace and unbroken prosperity which
He has bestowed upon our beloved
country in such unstinted measure.
And / also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day OF peace and
abundance, to think in deep sym
pathy Of the stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and ter
ror of war has so pitlessly fallen, and
to contribute out of our abundant
means to the relief of their suffer
ings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations thar
by contributing out of their abund
dance to the relief of the sufferine
which war has brought in its train
"In witness whereof, / have here.
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.

NEWS FROM VAN WICK.


Van Wyck, Nov. 20.-A number of
Van Wyck people will attend the
county fair this week. Some will
take exhibits, while others think it
is too much trouble. This is the
wrong way to feel about il. We have
favored land and, we ought to feel
patriotic enough to show, and tell to
the world, what we can do and what
we have in the way OF cultivated
crops and natural resources. Our
fields and forests are full of exhibits
If we just take the time to secure
them and place them where they can
be seen and admired by many
thoughtful spectators.
This is the way to advertise our
country-to show what we have,
and tell others of the good things we
have. We have many waste places
throughout our country, that need
developing and we need more brain
and muscle to make these bloom as
the rose, and by showing what we
have and what we can do, may induc,
some one to cast his lot with us and
help to make the happy change.
The new automobile road leading
into Van Wyck which Mr.. Kester is
finishing off with the flood suffer
els" is attracting a good deal of at
tention. Last Sunday a number Of
cars passed over this road and
doubtless were pleased with the
work. When the soft rock used for
top dressing is better crushed it will
be magnificent road.
We. with other friends. enjoyed a
very fine 'opossum feast with Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. III. Crenshaw last Sunday.

EngIand's Failure.
He holds that Great Britain has
made an abortive effort to crush
Germany as trade rival by appeal
to arms. but that there is nothing es-
sential in the character of the three
nations to prevent their union as
friends. In respect to Russia, how
ever, on the other hand, Count Ap-
ponyi declared that the organiZa-
ton of the country contains the
germs of war and that she is com
PEELED by the very essence of her be-
ing to attempt to extend her domina-
tion at every opportunity over the
nations with which she is in con-
tact.
Once this war is finished." he
said. Europe will probably have at
least twenty-five or thirty years of
peace until the generation which has
passed through this conflict has de-
parted from the stage. This should
give time and opportunity to a wise
and far-seeing diplomacy by which
the western States of Europe can
arrange for protection against the
disturbing element in the east"
Count Apponyi says his views are
shared by all leading Hungarians and
with the possible exception of GER
tain Slavonic elements in Austria are
also held by the leaders in that
country.

An Expert Tells Mothers How to Avoid
and Prevent This Scourge.

An Expert Tells Mothers How to Avoid
and Prevent This Scourge.
The following statement was issued
recently by DR.. Charles F. Bolduan. d.
rector of the bureau Of public health
education of New York city:
"Infantile paralysis is caused by
very small germ. perhaps the smallest
germ known. entering the brain and
spinal cord Of little children. The
germ probably gets in through the nose
or mouth. 1t is important to keep
your children away from those who
have the disease and also away from
the other members Of the family in
which the case has developed.
'.The reason for this is that the germ
is in the nose and throat Of the patient
and frequently is carried there by 9TH
ers in the household.
"Read the list of addresses where the
disease has occurred and which are
published in the newspapers. and keep
away from the infected houses.
"Every mother should keep her chill
dren about her much as hen looks
after her little chicks. It is dangerous
to let children attend parties and festi-
vals and to take them into crowds
where they may sit alongside Of some
person who has the germs in his or her
nose.
"since the germs are so very small
and may be present on the hands or
the face or soiled handkerchiefs, even
when there is no visible dirt, the ut
most cleanliness is necessary. See that
the hands and the faces of. your chill
dreD are kept absolutely clean. Soap
and water, after all. are the greatest
foes of all disease:
'.Clean up your house. Throw away
all useless rubbish. Take down the
curtains and wash them. Wipe all the
Woodwork with damp CLOTH"
