sissippi, was the recipient today OF

Herbert Hoover's general h~eadqusr-
ters because of a statement at
tributed to him that the republican

with a negro woman Of Mississippi
a statement which was branded rs
Indecent" and "unuualifiedly false
George Akerson. Mr.. Hoover's as
sistant. took cognizance Of remarks
credited to the governor in southern
newspapers and dispatched to him
one of the s~harpest messages Of
the campaign. IL bristled with ex-
pressions Of indignation and assert
ed that mo more untruthful and ig-
noble assertion was ever uttered by
a public man in the United States
than that attributed to you"
TnquaIifiedly Fslse'
"You are quoted by the rress IN
the South" Akerson said in his tele-
gram. "as having stated in a pub
lie address that Herbert Hoover on
one of his flood relief trips got
off the train at Mound Bayo. Miss,
and paid a call on a colored woman
and later danced with her.
THAT statement Is unqualifiedly
false. There Is not the slightest
foundation for it. II is the most
indecent and unworthy statement in
the whole of a bitter campaign"
Asserting that he was with Hoov-
er every hour Of the four months
while he was engaged in the flood"
the nominees assistant declared that
the then secretary Of commere
gave all that was in him TO a task
necessitating experience and in
f~luence which no other man in the
United States possessed and for
which the gratitude Of the state Of
Mississippi was unanimously ex-
pressed by its LEGISLATURE"

Sho1D Your Gratitude
Throughout the Year

A beautiful story Of true gratitude
is told of little child living in a
poverty-stricken home. The mother
had leaned door shutter up in one
corner of her cabin so that her shiv-
ering little ones could shelter behind
it from the icy wind. One of the
children, creeping behind this poor
shelter, said: Mamma. aren't you
sorry for the poor little children that
haven't any door shutter to go be-
hiAd?" IN this child was exemplified
the true sentiment of the gratitude
expressed by the Pilgrim fathers.
Gratitude is the open door through
which we enter into true peace and
happiness, and this must find its right
full expression in unselfishness and
consideration for others. What diff
ferent world it would be If the spirit
of Thanksgiving day were to be dem
onstrated, not only on special occa-
sion but throughout every day Of the
yearl Into the thought filed with
gratitude, envy, malice, hatred and
jealousy can find no entrance. Thus
is not true gratitude a powerful fac
tor in bringing peace and harmony to
all mankind ?-Exchange.

Retain Roadside in
Its Natural Beauty

The problems Of attractive commu-
mites in advertising their recreational
and residence advantages should be
linked up in the mind of the commu-
nifty authorities with the ACCESSIBILITY
of protecting the towns beauty by
keeping the roadsides approaching 1t
free from everything but their natural
beauty, according to report which
has just been made by the Division of
Housing and Town Planning for the
commonwealth of Massachusetts,. The
building of a new main highway is
not merely an engineering problem.
On the contrary, it is primarily So
cial and economic problem, a problem
of killing or making the region, the
report holds.
"a region rendered uninhabited ex-
cept by filling stations, hot-dog stands
and billboards is blighted, not helped"
the report says. "Let town, partic-
ularly what we call a good summer
town, protect every residence by a
good coming plan, and keep its road
sides free from everything but their
natural beauty. and the whole country

Qualities Needed in Roof

A roof that is tricky is to be de-
spised. It is to be made over. 1t can't
go on with its Indispensable charac-
ter. The worst thing about a defec-

show when least expected and least
desired.
There are artistic roofs that en-.
dure. Beauty and utility will be found

proposition. Nothing sets off domi-

Beauty in Common Brick

No other exterior material offers
such a rich variety Of colors as the
common brick. And color is impera-
tive in present-day homes. Nor is any
other so adaptable in the working out
of softened textural effects. The COM
mon brick is in class by itself in
this respect. Other brick stress their
uniformity of color and texture. Com
mon brick are never alike; always
there is pronounced variation not
only in color tones but in texture and
form. They burn unevenly, their lines
are irregular, their fire Hastings never
the same. And in these ever-present
variations lie their greatest charm

in a unique building code restriction
adopted by the city Of Madison, N. j.,

An amendment to the building code
prohibits the erection in any part Of
that community of buildings to house

Changing years have brought changed

ing still abides in the American heart,
whatever the style Of observance. In
Indianapolis, as in other cities, scores
of families are depending on the hotels
and clubs to provide the Thanksgiving
dinner, thus to ease the women Of the
household Of the responsibilities. Hotel
and club managers here say they are
booked almost to capacity with table
reservations calling for covers repre-
senting 10, IL, 10 and 20 persons. In

1t would be impossible for all fam
lilies to eat at hotels and clubs-moth-

that, in thousands of instances, mother
refuses to consider any other situation

Mother Appreciates
What MilkS Emulsion
Did for Her Bog

81 am writing you in regard to our
son, who is fifteen years old. want
to tell you how we have appreciated
what Milks Emulsion has done for
him. He hadn't been strong since he
was nine years old, when he had
whooping cough and scarlet fever at
the same time, ending up with Bright's
Disease.
"By doctoring with specialists he
finally got rid of Bright's Disease, but
he was bothered terribly with con-
stipation. The only thing that would
give relief was injections of warm
water, and finally we used olive oil
injections.
LAST August a lady told us to try
Milks Emulsion. This we did, and
after taking three bottles of Milks
Emulsion he hasn't to this day had
to have another injection. He goes
to school every day, eats his Emul-
sion right along, and is gaining and
doing fine.
81 felt that must write and tell you
what a grand medicine Milks Emul-
sion is and what it did for our boy,
hoping some other boy or girl will
know what a great medicine it is.
There isn't too much praise can say
for 1t. Just refer anybody to u.s."
