GRECIAN AND ROMAN RITES
Both Nations Had Elaborate Agricul-
tural Festivals, Really Thanks
.. giving Ceremonies.

: In ancient times the Greeks cele-
brated the Eleusinian mysteries with
wonderful magnificence. The cere-
monies took place at Eleusis, the
home of Triptolemus, where the
great benefactor had first Worshlped
the goddess of grains. This was the
great religious event of the year, and
the celebration, which took place early
in the autumn, lasted for several days.
The concluding rites were most SOL
emn, in which the worshipers were
permitted to taste the sacred symbols
of the goddess, and finally amid pro-
found silence the priest cut down q
living plant of grain.
At later period the Romans cele-
brated great agricultural festivals
both In the spring at planting time
and in the autumn at harvest time
At these celebrations the people
marched in great professions around
the fields imploring the favor OF
upon the growing crops. In the cities
the people worshiped at the temple Of
Ceres, offering sacrifices Of honey anC
grain. Like the Greek celebrations
this ceremony lasted for several days
terminating with elaborate games.

NO WONDER TABLE GRoANED
According to, This Description, the
Board Was Literally Spread sixty
Years Ago.

Some one has dug up letter WIFI
ten by young married woman OF
Cleveland to a girl friend in Novem-
Der, 1858. Here is an extract which
describes the Thanksgiving day feast:
"We were all at mothers for din
ner-children and grandchildren. " In
all. l wish you could have seen the
table! 1t was loaded down. You
never saw bigger turkeys-father fat
tened them for the occasion. He
carved one and John carved the 9TH
er. Then there was mashed potato,
and squash, and carrots, and beets,
and cold slaw, and the best cranberry
sauce, and gravy that made your
mouth water. There were three kinds
of preserves-mother gets the first
prizes at the county fair-and there
was ounce jelly and strawberry jam.
We had coffee and tea and cider to
drink, and for the windup there was
mince pie and pumpkin pie and layer
cake and pound cake, and a plum
pudding with brandy sauce! The
pudding was the only thing mother
had to bring in-everything else was
on the table-can you imagine it we
sat down at just one o'clock and didn't
get up till early candle light. Our lit
tie Caroline had dreadful stomach
ache, and was quite ashamed OF her
didn't feel comfortable myself, bu
made the best of It,"
They were good providers In the olt
days-even If they knew nothing O
course dinners and menus.

system Counts.

The difference between a confused
household, where things are never en-
tirely in order, and one where the
work moves along Systematically and
tasks seem easily done, is the differ
ence between planning and not plan
ming. 1t is not the easiest thing in
the world to make schedule for
housework-and stick to It'll But
when one sees the results which are
possible through setting aside def1-
mite time for definite things, one sees
that it is surely worth trying.

One Of the greatest American million

bling, for a new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large

After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life.2 Without .
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening

DR.. Pierce, Of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. X,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were nature
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in a form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store (liquid OF
tablets). This he called DR.. Pierce's

Poland Must Recall Troops.

Neutrality-suspicious. for a perma-

Poland can not be continued until Po-
land fulfills her pledge to withdraw
her troops to her borders, Adolf Jotte,
head of the Soviet peace delegation,

Chicago.-While the unauthorized
strike of railroad employees which
started in Chicago two weeks ago with
the walkout of 700 switchmen on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Rail
road appeared gradually to be waning
in the middle west and the far west,
the situation in the territory east OF
Cleveland took on more serious as
pect.
The center of development in the
wall1out of insurgents had definitely
shifted to the east, where additions to
the ranks Of the rebel railroad work.
ers had caused a serious stoppage OF
freight and passenger traffic and the
closing of several industries depend
ent on the railroads for supplies.
The situation in the Chicago yards
showed marked improvement, and
reports from other large railroad CEN
ters in the middle west indicated that
the crisis of the strike was past and
that strikers were returning to work
in considerable numbers. Officers o!
railroad brotherhoods, who have been
fighting the strike since its inception,
ware confident that the breaking UP
of the walkout in the Chicago terri
tory would be followed by a genera.
resumption of work in other areas.
Attorney General Palmer announced
that 1.-The federal government will not
shirk the responsibility in this or any
other crisis"
President Wilson has named the
railway board and this is expected to
have an effect on the situation.
The Illinois Central, the Chicago.

cars were again moving in the switch
ing yards and that embargoes had
been partly lifted.
The General Managers Association
denied that any negotiations were be-

any circumstances.
