DON'T FEEL THANKFUL.
Many Men and Women Insist There
is Nothing to be Thankful For. y

Many a man-and woman, too
insists there's nothing to be thank
ful for" in his-or her-life. And
these thankless ones are not all near
the bottom; they are not all poor.
lonely, sorrow-laden. Indeed, youIl
lind more who have nothing to be
thankful for in the middle walks of
life than elsewhere, good, honest
folk who have met with a measure OF
success, a taste of reverses, and
quite a few unrealized dreams. Prob
ably 1T is because, of the dreams that
they feel thankless.
They hoped for too mush. Their
air castles were too magnificent, too
airy, and too feebly supported by
energy and will power But because
they hoped for much, gained little,
they are come to this Thanksgiving
time with nothing to be. thankful
for
OF course they err. The living
human being has much to be thank
full for. He has life, the greatest
thing on earth, to be thankful for.
He has family, children, home, an
appetite for food, the church, the
school, books, why, man alive! we
could go on for the length and
breadth of this page setting down
things for, which we, you, and all of
us can AND SHOULD be thank
ful!
If you can't see it that way; IL
to you your life appears minus rea-
sons for thankfulness, go out into
the highways and byways of the
world and see the human beings who
have less than you-and be thank
ful. That is one sure way OF acquir-
ing ones own share of that thankful
spirit. 1t cannot fail. Don't, we beg
OF you. attempt to instill thankful
ness into your heart and mind by
turning your eyes upon those who
have more than you-better health,
greater wealth. more power. Those
who gaze too steadily upon the larg-
er possessions of others are those
who chorus:

for"

maker, president of the South Caro-

the American Cotton Association, has
made this statement:
"Spartanburg county, South Caro-

the entire cotton belt. This county
has arranged to warehouse and fin
ance their cotton until it re-ches a
price agreeable to the owner, and for
this purpose has raised the sum OF

used for the erection in different sec
tions of the comfy standard cotton
warehouses, 10 be o~erated un3er the

most earnestly urge that thiss plan
be pushed through out the length

that Spartanburg county go one step
further and urge the senators and
from South CarOlira 10

cotton can be delivered from the ware
houses in Spartanburg and from SIM
liar warehouses throughout the

on contracts of the New York and

would absolutely and completely
change the existing conditions in the
handling Of cotton, and would be
worth billions to the cotton industry.
Get your Association behind this, and
urge your Spartanburg friends to put
their warehouses in line with this sug-
gestion. They will set an example that
will be followed throughout the

ACT QUICKLY.

Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger, Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of Dillon evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. B. B. Benfield, Dillon says:
81 can honestly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills after my experience with
them. About eight years ago, when
l living in Fayetteville, N. c., was
having an awful lot of trouble with
my back and kidneys. If 1 stopped
over, sharp darting pains would dart
up and down my back causing me
to suffer almost beyond endurance.
l just simply couldn't get relief. Dir
zy spells came over me frequently ard
my eyes often blurred. I suffered like
this for a long time and was not re-
lieved until I used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They brought me relief from
the start, and soon put an end to my
trouble. Ever since that time l have
spoken very highly of them"

Now you are ready to begin the

raise the arms above the head. Do
not raise the shoulders, but slowly

Then up and back again.

Being In a position to come In

and socially, with women Of wealth
and distinction" writes a well"
known modiste, 81 have come to very
definite conclusions about this sub
ject.
Until now have had no intention
of making these conclusions public.
But recently l have come to feel that
it is a thing to be remedied only by
open discussion. If you feel this let
ter will help you, you are at liberty to

"a woman whose business it is to
help other women in their search for
true expression of their individual

knows their possibilities and their
limitations, their ideals and the weak
nesses that make them fall short OF
their ideals.
HOW many WOnlen are doing them
selDes grave injustice!
And this very knowledge makes
me feel the more keenly the injustice
that so many of them are doing Il
themselves.
I've known wonderful women, OF
lovely figure, of rare personal attrac-
ton, whose gowns made in such a
way that they only emphasized this
charm, who yet, I knew, would fail
miserably to make others feel that
they were wholly lovely. They didn't

Each housekeeper has her prefer
ence as to jars, but there is much
to say in favoS Of the glass jar
with separate glass top, fastening
with a spring handle and using a
rubber ring between. The glass jar
using a composition metal top
which, must be renewed each year
is the most expensive, as the tops
alone cost about thirty cents per
dozen and the Jar cannot be used
with any other top. The old Mason
lar is poor, because when pried

sharp object the cap may be dented
and thus made unfit for second use.
Before commencing canning learn
the directions for the food you wish
to can by heart; or, better still,
paste them on a card and hang the
card at eye-level on the kitchen
wall. There is an excellent can

THIs year there is even more
interest in canning than in
the previous war years.
Many women who took up the home
preservation OF food largely as a
patriotic duty have become perma-
nent canning enthusiasts because
they have found canning so simple.
It is no longer necessary to stand
hours in a steaming kitchen to do
canning. Modern equipment and
methods have shown better. easier
ways.
Everybody who cans should thor
oughly understand the cold pack
method. This is the one used by
all Government experts. In this
method only one sterilization period
is required. The foods are packed
cold into the jars and the entire
sterilization done in the jars. The
time required is much less than in
other methods.
The term "blanch" describes the
process employed in this method of
canning to shrink the bulk and re-
move some of the excess acids and
havors of coarse vegetables and
fruits and start the flow of color
ing matter.
The term "cold dip" means the
plunging Of the foods into cold

ateiy after the "blanch." The OBJ
ject is to make the foods firm, to
hold their shape and to stop the
color matter from flowing, so that
the food will retain its natural ap'
pearance.
The following are the three chief
types of appliances used for can
ming:
WATER-BATH OUTFITS - This
type includes the familiar wash
boiler, the steam or fireless cooker
the roasting pan, or any OUTFIT
where water at boiling temperature
is used.
WATER-SEAL OUTFITS - This
is manufactured device where one
can or compartment is set down in
side of an outer one with seal"
of water between. It has Their
mometer attached and gives more
accurate results than the water
bath types. It comes in a small
home and large club size.
STEAM-PRESSURE OUTFITS
In this kind the water or steam is
under pressure, and hence is able
to cook or sterilize much faster and
also more thoroughly. There is less
danger of spoilage with foods
canned in a pressure outfit than
with any other. It comes in the

"They know that it has a real power
to stand in the way Of a woman's
progress and charm. They notice the
defect in others, but do not realize
that others may notice it in hem!
"I'm glad of the present crusade to
make women know. When they do
know, they'll act-just as they've
done In every other great movement
for the betterment of themselves and
their world"
II is a physiological fact that the
odor which is caused by the chemicals
of the body is practically always pres
ent whether we ourselves notice it or
not. Too often we do not notice it.
No amount of soap and water, or
powder, can correct this. And the
.underarm perspiratiOn glands are
under such sensitive nervous control
that sudden excitement or emotion or
embarrassment is sufficient to make
them more active, and therefore to
cause this odor to become more ap-
parent.

must face if we would be GllOGys at
