-HANKSGIVING! A day
definitely set apart on which
= to offer praise for our good
health, our well-being and success.
And a day Of good things to eat
indeed, it often happens that we
think more of the dinner we eat
than of the thanks we ought to
give. And even though a plente-
Gus repast is significant of Thanks
giving Day, can we not still keep
the true spirit Of its original
meaning1
OF late there has been a habit
to celebrate the day by eating at
a restaurant or hotel. Many
young housekeepers who make the
plea Of "too much work" prefer to
eat in some crowded hotel dining
room rather than in their own
homes. But II seems to me that
by doing this they are losing all
Of the best meaning Of q Thanks
giving meal.
If any day were meant to typify
the family spirit-surely it Is
Thanksgiving. The really one i'm
portant thing is to have the home
spirit, to have members Of the
family united and eat together, as
in former days.
No matter how simple the din
ner, it is vastly more relished II
prepared by the hand Of the
hostess or by her daughters. Do
we not value furniture made by
hand, articles embroidered by
hand, as choicer and more in
dividual than those bought and
turned out by the thousands in
factories?
Cooking is really an expression
of service and projection OF the
personality of the one doing j:
Cake made by twelve-year-old
Susie as a "surprise" for daddy Is
worth infinitely more than any
cake she could buy. Just as Ebert
Hubbard said that no man ever
went to war in defense of fiat,
so too we might say that no
hostess ever offered her family and
guests the most welcome meal il
she did not make or supervise it
herself.
So have this plea that each
and all of us eat a Thanksgiving
meal in the true home atmosphere.
Even if there are but two in the
family, think how much more cozy
and intimate and private the home
meal can be over ono taken among
a crowd of strangers and un-
familiar surroundings. What q
chance to help get dinner, crack
the nuts, baste the turkey or roast
and get first-hand Whit and thrill
from sage and onions and savory
spice!
What does Thanksgiving mean to
children unless they are allowed
to "help" in, the mysterious
rites of getting dinner? The
anticipatory delight of children
for a holiday lies largely in the
share they themselves have in it.
Rob them of this and there is little
left. Interview some great man to-
day, and one of his fondest
memories will probably be "heIp-

color you can devise. Express
something of your own self in the
dishes you offer. Let others help
prepare and make fun over the
clearing away, so that no one alone
shall bear the burden of the meal.
Invite lonely hearts to share with
you. Make Thanksgiving not only
a feast of the body but rather a
feast Of the spirit. So shall you
ext nd the true spirit of home
making and let its significance
shine into the outside world.

iro mother" with the pumpkin pie,
picking the chicken, frying the
doughnuts when he was a boy.
That scene of childhood stands In
his mind as "home" and is one OF
the dearest memories he possesses.
Surely no holiday would be COM
plete without its games and its
stories and recollections of bygone
times. Even though q modern
steam radiator has usurped the
fireplace, much frolic can be had
with cracking nuts, popping corn,
making a pan Of old fashioned
molasses candy. Lucky indeed the
family with a grandmother or
grandfather who remembers way
back in 1860" and who can add the
interest and suspense Of story tell
ing to the days pleasure.
Every woman has a Justihabie
pride in what she can do with her
d hands. She can express her love
and affection to her family by the
time and pains she takes preparing
special foods, by the art with
which she arranges this fooS 90
the table and by the charm and
graciousness with which she serves
It. Possibly those who at all
times recommend ready cooked
and bought foods are overlooking
the ethical value of cooking at
home. The person who has pre-
pared a dish herself is more likely
to serve it with charm and love
and welcome hospitality than she
would something she has taken
out of q can or box. In short,
meals cooked at home, particularly
for an occasion like Thanksgiving,
partake of a greater holiday spirit.
From the point Of view OF ex-
pense only, the home cooked hol-
day dinner is far more economical.
Nothing need be spent for walters
or hotel linen or tips, and the
home-cooked dinner will provide
several meals of leftovers. The
most expensive turkey need not be
bought, there is chicken or duck
or goose or a fresh ham to be
had at lower price. The simple
vegetables like turnips or baked
sweet potatoes are more typical OF
the day than more costly or hot
house foods. Small tarts Of
pumpkin or mince will use 'ess
material and afford less waste
than a large pie. A filling cream
soup will save overeating on the
more expensive meat. 1t is not
necessary to have so many dishes
or courses simple soup, fowl,
one vegetable and holiday tart is
quite enough.
The home table, too, offers
every chance for original decora-
ton. Place cards and favors like
pumpkins or Indians, or a center
piece of fruit and leaves in bright
Autumn colors, a tablecloth dec
grated with gay leaves, quaint nut
and spice favors will make the
home dinner into a festive oc-
'casion. Many of, these can be pre-
pared by the children who will
relish their share in making the
dinner attractive to look at. Most
unusual nut and raisin novelties
can easily be copied by small
fingers

to join their family circle. A
schoolboy too far away to go home,
a teacher in a distant city, an
office worker miles from his old
home town.
Again, ! say, eat Thanksgiving
dinner within home walls, not
among strangers. No matter how
simple it must be, prepare most of
it with your own hands. Bring to

The Waterloo Courier, this week
says: James H. Stuart's Minstrel
Classic, on the same Program, is
making a decided hit with Rialte

James H. Sturat is very clever in
dancing and singing, and the quart
cite and trio numbers are fine.
Suppose You Were a Rose, a solo
sung by Harold o. Price, was the
song hit of last evening. The cos

The Taxes That Cause Trouble

People do not, as a rule, resent any
tax which is we'll spent and where
they can see that they are getting
their moneys worth. There is no
complaint about the road dragging

has always been our opinion that Of

ton question if they give people the
worth of their money. Il is the taxes
that are thrown away which cause
the trouble.-Chariton Herald-Patriot.
