Dad was forty-five, we'll dressed,

embarrassed grim, hes heavy hitter

think he was mascot?
"Why, Babe, you know. Babe, I
thought he was little fellow. And
what is it you say, 'Yank'f"

Cranberries Always Have
Played Prominent Part
at Thanksgiving Feast

1t is tradition in Plymouth that
the eating of turkey and cranberry
sauce on Thanksgiving day goes back
to the first Pilgrim Thanksgiving.
That little band of self-exiled, de-
voted Christians crossed the stormy
sea in the Mayflower and landed at
Plymouth Rock on December 81, 1920.
Their first winter in the New World
was one of great suffering. marked
with famine and hardships.
Governor Bradford, in his account
of the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving,
does not give menu of the dinner,
but he often refers to the wild tur-
keys as one of the luxuries of the
colony. However, John JOsslyn. an
English traveller and naturalist, who
visited New England in 1888 and wrote
an account of its "Rarities," says:
Cranberry or bearberry because
bears used much to feed upon them)
is small trayling plant that grows
in salt marshes that are overgrown
with moss. The Indians and English
use them much, boiling them with SUI
gar for sauce to eat with their meat"
That cranberries belong to the ira
ditional Pilgrim dinner Is shown by
the menu Of the decent repast" served
at the first Celebration of the Land
ing of Our Forefathers," which was
observed on December 90, 1869. This
day was celebrated by the Old Colony
club of Plymouth with procession
anil dinner consisting of large
baked Indian whortleberry pudding, a
dish of sauquetach (succotash), dish
OF clans. a dish of oysters and a dish
of Goldfish, haunch of venison, roasted
by the first Jack brought into the col
Ony; a dish of fowl, cranberry tarts.
a dish of fresh fish and cells, an apple
pie. course of cheese made In the
old colony. These articles were
dressed in the plainest manner (all
appearance of luxury, whose memory
we shall ever respect).
Turkey, succotash and cranberries
still play their part In the Thanks
giving dinners in Plymouth, and five
grains Of parched corn are laid beside
each place I'm remembrance of the ear
ly years Of famine.

Thanksgiving Should Mean
More Than Mere Feeling
of Gratitude for Fav0rs

It is to be regretted that the beauti-
full and appropriate custom of observ-
ing a day of Thanksgiving has become
associated with an abundance of mate
rial things. If crops have been bounti-
full, If the harvest has been great, if
there has been an overflow OF the
"good" things Of earth, and If the
times have been peaceful, reasons for
thanksgiving are supposed to increase
correspondingly.
There is something in the outward
tradition of Thanksgiving that would
appear to justify this stressing of the
Importance of material things; but
there is also something in the real
Thanksgiving that would demand the
stressing of other things, demand the
placing OF emphasis upon spiritual
matters rather than upon conditions
which pertain solely to the physical
we'll being of man.
The real Thanksgiving demands q
feeling of deep appreciation for what
ever has come, the acceptance with
equal thanks" Of the good fortune or
the bad fortune of previous months.
This Thanksgiving is essentially an in
ternal thing-it can be observed re-
CARELESS of what one had for dinner
that day, and its observance is all
affair that should be open to the rich
and the poor of the earth.
1t may well be that some, on this
day of taking stock and expressing
gratitude for blessings, can find little
Of good that has come to them as the
world counts good. But these are the
ones for whom Thanksgiving may hold
the deepest reality. These may say !:
lord, for life, its love, its hope, its
interest, its opportunity for service ;
for the great and durable satisfactions
of living that center about home and
work for deep and abiding memories
of Joy that bereavement has brought
into sharp relief; for all these bless
ings may / be truly thankful"
To this prayer may be added by
those In prosperity:
"And may be mindful lest in the
excess of good things / become self
centered and forget my obligations to
p1y fellow men,"

Pessimism Has No Place
in the Real Spirit of
Time of Thanksgiving

After having devoted so much of
our time to bemoaning the misfortunes
that have come to us as a people dur
ing the past year, 1t will do us good
on this Thanksgiving day to stop and
look at the other side of the ledger
and cast up the account of the good
things that have come to us.
Our situation admittedly has not
been as favorable in many respects as
we could desire. We have had prob
lens and difficulties which naturally
aroused dissatisfaction and discomfort.
We have been feeling mighty sorry
for ourselves.
Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could
bring no greater blessing to us as a
people than to readjust our perspec-
tive and displace pessimism with a
new spirit of optimism.
Before we enter into the true spirit
of the day 1t is necessary to put away
our hatreds, our grouches and discon-
tents and center our thoughts upon
the blessings that have come. If one
would give thanks he must realize the
fact of having been blessed. and in
doing so he minimizes the misfortunes
he has experienced. The pessimist is
in no position to give thanks. The
spirit of optimism will possess us to
the extent that we are able to give
thanks in spirit and in truth to the
Giver of All Good Gifts today.
For the fact remains that, In spite
of our difficulties, we are the most
prosperous and the most favorably sit
uated nation on the earth and that
we have more reasons for contentment
and gratitude than any other people.
This Thanksgiving day, If observed
In the spirit of those who inaugurated
1t, is capable of lifting the spirit and
thought of the American people to new
heights and of ushering In new era
of contentment and happiness.
Thanksgiving day comes to mean
today not only an occasion when we
may express our gratitude to the Most
High for His care and kindness In the
past, but likewise time when by
marshaling our blessings before us we
are inspired with new hope and cour.
age for the future.

The Key to Success Is York
There Is no Substitute for 1T!

In order to do your best work, you must be
healthy. You must sleep soundly at night, your
nerves must be strong, steady and under perfect
control.
If you are accustomed to drinking tea
coffee with your meals or between meals, you
may be loading yourself with very great handi-
cap. Your nervous system may be stimulated
beyond what is natural for you.
For tea and coffee contain them and caffeine.
These are drugs any doctor can tell you.
They are known to rritate the nervous system
by their action and to cause restlessness and
insomnia, which prevent the proper recuperatior
of the vital forces.
If you want to be at your best, capable of
doing the very best work that lies in you, why
not stop drinking tea and coffee? Drink Postum,
the rich, satisfying beverage made from scienti-
ically roasted cereals.
Postum contains absolutely no drugs of
any kind, but in flavor tastes much like rich
coffee. It helps nerve and brain structure by
