The poets of the present and of the
past have embodied their gratitude
for the blessings Of the year in verse.
At times the burden Of their song has
Incorporated the time-honored custom
by which one day Of the year Is set
apart for the giving Of thanks.
Perhaps Thanksgiving recalls to
them mothers ingenuity and skill in
making pumpkin pies, and so in a
4uaintly humorous way the poet pays
tribute to the pumpkin and the prod
dct thereof.
Again the spirit Of these November
poems embodies Thanksgiving Joy
and freedom from sorrow; for health
and happiness; for things spiritual and
physical.
At any rate, ever since Thanksgiv-
Ing has been proclaimed national
holiday the poet has found inspiration
for his art and by means Of his verses
has awakened q sympathetic chord in
the breasts Of many men and women.
Although nearly all Of the poems of
James Whitcomb Riley contain an es-
sence Of this spirit of gratitude with
the existing order Of things, some of
these are specifically devoted to the
day itself. Among these the poem
entitled Thanksgiving" is one Of the
best.
Let us be thankful-not only because

And fortunes newer smiles surpass the

But thankful for all things that come as

The winter clouds and storms-the sum-
mer calms-
The sleepless dread-the browse Of in

Let us be thankful-thankful for the
Whose gracious answers were long,
long delayed,
That they might fall upon US unawares,
And bless us. as in greater need we
prayed.
Let US be thankful for the loyal hand
That love held out in welcome to our
own.
When love. and only love. could under
The need Of touches we had never

Let us be thankful for the longing eyes

And let u.s. too. be thankful that the

VIII Carleton, the New England
poet, strikes the universal note Of
thanks in his hymn, part Of which
| follows:
We thank Thee. Father. for all that is
The CLEAN Of the day and the stars OF
the night:
| The flowers Of our youth and the fruits
Of our prime,
| And the blessings that march down the
pathways OF time
| We thank Thee, o Father, for all that
is drear-
| The sob Of the tempest. the flow Of the
tear;
| For never in blindness and never in vain
| Thy mercy permitted sorrow or pain.

on "A Last Thanksgiving"
When it is time for me to go

and combines pathos as we'll as quaint
humor. The son John has gone to the
city to get an education and for the
time being he is taught by the glamour
Of city life. But the concluding stanza
in which he tells Of his return on
Thanksgiving day shows that the lus-
ter Of the city offered him but fleet
ing inducement.
And so the summer faded out, and tho
autumn wore away,
And keener winter never fetched around
Thanksgivin' day!
And as turned and looked around, some

And put his arms round Mothers neck,

Charge.

Glazed Kid Week was given the Of
ncnl recognition OF the city last night
during the meeting of City Council
when resolution. offered by Council-
man Abrahams, was adopted putting
tho members on record as being will
ing to do all they could as city officials
70 help make the affair a big success.
In Offering the resolution Mr.. Abra-
hams explained that the committee in
charge of the celebration has worked
hard and has accomplished much.
They have boosted Wilmington and
made the town known throughout the

OF all those present and was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that whereas a committee
Of WiImingtonians have worked
faithfully for months on plans for a
booster week for Wilmington to be
known as Glazed Kid Week" to be
held September 18th to cath, inclusive,
and.
whereas, The previous Council
sanctioned the idea and helped create
national interest in the campaign, thus
making Wilmington a leader in the
Sci. america First campaign, which
has as its object the return of normal
business conditions. therefore be it re-
solved
THAT the Mayor and Council of the
City of Wilmington hereby officially
approves of Glazed Kid Week and
urges all citizens TO take some part
in making it and its object a success,
and be II further resolved
That as a mark of appreciation of
the work of the Committee and the in
terest shown in the campaign by
prominent nationally known business
men. including President Warren G.
Harding. and the fact that many such
men will attend the opening banquet
Monday evening September 18th, that
the members of Council attend the
banquet and assist in whatever other
way may be deemed feasible"

How to Get Relief
From Rheumatism
Scientists Agree That the Cause Is
Due TO Waste Products in the Blood.

The blood is the means by which all
tissues. muscles, ligaments and flesh
of the body are directly or indirectly
nourished. 1t is also through the.
blood stream that worn out tissues
and waste products are cast out of
the system.
When waste products accumulate,
they are a menace to life. They cause
"A lowered vitality, many skin disor-
eers and rheumatism. Genuine re-
lief from the agonies of rheumatism
can be had only by correcting the
basic trouble-waste products.
Thousands and thousands of men
and women during the past so years
have cleared their blood of waste
products with S. S. s. 1t is. the ideal
remedy for rheumatism, because it
removes the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
INJURIOUS, as ii dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get Mulsified at any
drug store, and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinse out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to ham
die. Besides. it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dand-
rum. BE sure your druggist gives you
