observe a DAY OF Thanksgiving at
ter the crops have been garnered
we clip the following from news
paper, Jesse Dayhoff had two teeth
blown out and his lip split by the
bursting of a roasted chestnut. Mr..

Recently a young lady in Texas
was arrested for teaching other girls

Truly, the evil spirit is working in
the hearts of people just to gain what
they could do without.
Rabbits were so plentiful this sea-
SON that one boy about ten years Of
age captured three in one day with
the aid OF his cat rife. Before the
rabbit season opened some people
noticed what seemed to be a snow
white rabbit hiding in a small strip
of woodland Quite recently Mr..
Mark Warehime shot the queer speci-
men OF the wild bunny species OF
animals, and many people viewed
! it with interest.
A Western paper says Raise more
meat by raising rabbits and reduce
your meat bills. Some families
around here certainly raised" some
rabbits, eating ID in about q weeks

There seems to be quite an inter-
est manifested in the new treatment
! to cure diseases without medicine,
called "The Chiropractic Method"
We have read and heard much of it
i'm a distant way, but quite recently
we received the following letter from
personal friend, 81 am taking
treatments from a Chiropractic doc-
tor. He says he can cure every
thing but consumption and leprosy.
He works from early until late at
night. He has made the deaf to
hear, the speeches. to talk, the
lame to walk, and I saw man that
could not help himself any more than
! boy, and now he can walk. He
cured a woman of tumor I no
longer get my regular sick head
aches"
On Thanksgiving Day, as I took a
walk, it came forcibly to my mind
that with the whole world unsettled,
the Lord is the same, Hebrew 1873.
Yet there are some people who are
real thankful. ! met two persons n
my rambling along the state road
during the morning. Meeting a
tramp by the wayside, accosted
him with, "a beautiful Thanksgiving
morning." to which he responded,
Yes, thank God, we have had beauti-
full weather this Fall" Farther m
we met little girl, about years of
age, dancing and singing, who sud-
denly stopped and said, ''Hiah,s
replied with Good morning" and
the child laughed heartily as she
pranced merrily EDWARDS in the direc
ton of her home.
New strikes are becoming popular
this time among the women folks.
In some of the larger cities eggs
were retailing at $1.00 per dozen.
Women refused to pay the price,
which resulted in lowering the price
to soc; likewise milk, 18c per quart
was too much, and by refusing to
buy, using a substitute, or doing
without, the prices soon become nor
NAL.
A jeWeler in Hillsboro, North Da-
kato, contrived the idea of building a
tiny engine, an inch in length, which,
when in motion, sent up white smoke,
and made a sound similar to a buzz
zing bumblebee.
One of our chicken fanciers in
Manchester District told me over the
telephone that he has tried a new
experiment which he claims works
to perfection; to put lighted lam
terms in his hen houses, causing his
hens to begin their days work of
laying eggs before daybreak.
The Maryland State Board Of Edu-
cation is appointing trained, or, as
they are commonly called, health
nurses, to visit the schools for the
purpose Of examining children to
learn defects in eyesight and teeth;
being strenuous in regard to sanitary
conditions. No doubt, good results
will follow, after parents become
educated to this new invocation.
The u. >. Government is calling for
$4,000 trained nurses to educate peo-
pie to guard against contagious dis
eases and how to care for the health.
Many of the readers of the Record
Herald who have bought and used
Bakers Peroxide soap to help J. G..
Henry, OF Harrisburg, Pa, who has
been deaf. blind and dumb, will be
glad to know that the daily papers
last week gave considerable space
to the account of how his sight, and
perhaps his other senses, are being
restored to him. OF course, the real
healing power came from Above,
from whence all our blessings come.
Should there be a sugar famine, as
is predicted, candies and ice cream
will be curtailed, the newspapers
are reporting. If our grandmothers
raised large families of thrifty
children with but a few pounds OF
sugar each year, surely we can
easily sacrifice these extra delicacies
which tempt the palate, but do not
nourish the body. Thirty-fve years
ago | was glad to get little poke"
of mixed drops about once month.
An old adage says Eat an apple

and again it says, Eat an onion
each day will keep every one else
away"
