AxstAWkxI there has been correspond
EM1 ing growth in responsibility.
The raw experiment Of a
~ nation framed from the skel-
l-se>| eton colonies of the eastern
seGboard has proved the greatest sue
cess in government the world has ever
known. Democracy sits at the tables
of the land today. Brotherhood asks
its helping from the amply filed
boards Jof the American home. These
two attributes Of the American people
fully express the secret Of Americas
success as a nation. The growth Of
the nation has been in accord with the
extension of these ideas. They are
both home ideas, and therefore they
are both ideas that express the inner
spirit of the day of thanksgiving.
The fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood Of man-these were the
leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. They are the leading concep-
tons of the sons of those fathers to-
day. They are the conceptions that
can never be made hackneyed by hypo-
critical use or by designing abuse.
They Will stand forth in the genius
and action of the American people un-
til each year shall add praise to praise
in the measure Of the fullness of rea-
sons for the giving of thanks.
Peace, provision, protection-these
are the priced possessions Of a ma
tion whose one aim Is to exalt the
ends Of human liberty, to extend hui
man democracy and to exalt the ideals
Of human equality. As this nation
touches the world at large 1t does so
through its leading national concep-
tons. and only when these are vitality
assailed can 1t take up arms for Its
own defense. 1t has the obligation
resting upon 1t to conserve the true
needs Of liberty. and this can be done
only by insisting upon the sacredness
of human rights and human opportu-
mites. Hence the day set aside for
thanks is day of pure and unadul-
terated Americanism, into which no
alien sentiment can possibly enter.
Hence 1t Is that every head Of the
family in acting in his capacity at
the head Of the family board becomes
the priest Of the things made precious
In the life of the country and of which
mention Is made as thanksgiving
themes of the day. No more can the
nation depart from its lofty mission
and progressive ideals than can the
earth swing away from the solar at
traction. The day of home happiness,
the day of praise, the day Of felicity
Is a sacred and singular day In the
annals Of American progress and Amer
icnn world influence

n Hon. William Gazukes,
the millionaire, who seemed
t. he renewing his youth, sat chatting
excitcdly with the inventor and u

Hon. Gazukes had recently been forced
through practical joke on himself,
to become interested In this sound alb

The millionaire then became anxious

Outside of the many material bless
ings that have come to the American
people during the past year. which are
good In so much as they contribute to
wholesome human happiness, there is
reason for the people Of this country
upon this Thanksgiving day to be un-
usually thoughtful concerning their
place in the world. and to remember
how this eminence has been obtained.
Who can look back and not see the
hand of Providence shaping the des-
tiny of America? This liberty which
is the marvel and the hope of the
world today was set up on these shores
by Godfearing men-the pioneers who
inaugurated this very Thanksgiving
holiday. 1t was for the love of the
service of God that liberty was estab-
lished in America, and it was this lib
erty that has been the basis of our ma
tional greatness and which is to be
the political salvation of the world
America cannot look back upon its
history without seeing God, and by
taking thought cannot fail to acknowl-
edge its gratitude for all his benefits.
With that stage of our development
passed we are now permitted to enter
upon that new era when America par
ticipates in abolishing tyranny and In
justice. ever hateful to God. and to
carry to the oppressed nations of the
world those principles of liberty
through which our own chief blessings
have come.
This Is the supreme service that one
nation can render to another-to safe
guard the liberties of its people. In
this momentous time the burden of our
Thanksgiving this year it seems should
be that we are to be chief among the
ministers in working out the Divine
purpose to have all men-Greek and
Barbarian-free.

C--SS>J out from the cataclysms of
the world war the choice of blessing
or cursing will work out in the victory
OF the good? The old cry, Hath God
forgotten to be graciousT' needs no
longer be voiced. God has not forgot
ten to be gracious. So that, as the
Americans assemble in their churches
on the day set apart fer expressing ma
tional gratitude, they will rejoice
above all else that the nation of free
men has adopted as its motto: whom
the Lord makes free is free indeed
Let them rejoice that America is bent
upon proclaiming liberty to the entire
Lounds of the earth. The curse of au-
tocracy, the curse of a blasphemous
assumption that God is on the side of
the strongest battalions, the curse of
debauchery Of human ideals and hu-
man aspirations, the curse Of the es-
tablishment of force in the place of
purity; of power in the place of peace
this is the cursing that is being
wiped out in blood. The blessing Of
world peace and the prevalence of the
spirit of brotherhood and of mutual
advancement for the peoples-such is
the peace that Is being wrought out.
The United States has placed its all
on the altar, realizing that sacrifice
Is the noblest virtue of nation.
Hence, while exuberance may not
abound, the spirit Of thanksgiving is
filed with praise over the mighty
manner in which the mind of the AL
mighty is being made clear in the
movements Of the times; with the
United States playing leading part
in its impressive unfolding.

free use of fruits.
Nature provides us in the spring
just the foods we need. without re-
sorting to the time-honored sulphur

many of us have suffered.
The dandelion contains taraxfcum,
the tonic which is in so many spring
medicines. This acts directly on the
liver, stimulating 1t to healthy action.
The lack of exercise In winter is one
of the worst features of our living, for
exercise is life to the body. The liver

other annoying Ills. The liver is one

How Huch pleasanter 1t is to eat a
dish of crisp, fresh greens than to take

of good olive oil on salads makes them
more valuable. as the oil is a food, 1t

country.
All this does not mean that our gov
ernment is confiscating outright the
property of alien enemies. But just
now A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, has the task of locating all
such property and so administering
1t that its income may be turned into
the treasury of the United States for
the purchase of bonds to help prose
cute the war against Germany and her
allies.
This property may be n partnership
in which persons residing in the terri
tory of the German allies are financi-
ally interested. But whatever it Is,
real estate, life insurance, railroads,
mines. stocks or bonds it must all be
reported. Also, all debts owed to Ger
mans or to her allies by Americans,
must be reported and paid to the alien
property custodian. Little or big, an
accounting is necessary.
One president of trust company
personally admitted to him, Nh. Pal
mer said, that he held 100000 worth
of German securities in his vaults, and
when asked why he had not reported
it, naively offered the excuse that he
did not know there was any law which
required such report
Another significant case was the
statement made by friend of a bank
clerk, who said that he knew where
there was a bundle of bonds owned
by a former German consul, which
were regularly clipped and sacretly
sent to an address in Sweden. and
from there relayed into Germany
where the owner now resided. When
asked why he did not report these
bonds. the friend of the bank clerk re-
piled that he could not betray con-
fdence.
