REMEDY FOR ILLS

Easy to Find Panaceas in
Profusion.

Like advice, panaceas are offered
for every Ill, gratis. Some one
knowing my passion for grapefruit,
offered the suggestion that 1t should
not be eaten with salt because it was
an acid, and salt combined with acid
was what you used to scour brass.
Recalling my mothers big brass pre-
serving kettle which she cleaned so
easily with salt and vinegar, / rec
ognized the effectiveness of such a
remedy, but could not grasp the in
ference in regard to my digestive
tract!
Our grandmothers had great faith
in the administration of sassafras tea
in the spring, as an exterminator of
all the ills which winter had thrust
upon us. Strong was their belief in

Fiction that they raised their little
heads and scarcely wakened to see
what was doing to them. For heavy

times lard and coal oil was applied

Emerson's essay on "Compensa-

THANKSGIVING:
A Parable

THE frail boats of these Pilgrims
i had been delivered from the vast
and tumultuous masses of the dark
sea. Under the frowning battlements
Of the black forest they lifted their
roof trees and nuscled their walls
with oak, laid open the new soil and
cast the shining grain, forgetful in
labor and hope of their great loneli-
ness.
AND now their strong, small cabins
4 = stood, scanned with snow, in the
utter whiteness Of the clearing. The
blue smoke Of their sturdy chimneys
drifted warmly against the black wall
of the wilderness and their hearths
were ruddy with deep embers.
THE harvest was bountiful. The
i dark barns were musty with maize
and bullying pumpkins glowed in the
light of the candle. The walls of the
cabins were festooned with dry herbs
and at each door hung the frozen car
cass Of wild beast.
THE dark ocean Numbered with
l. winter storms. The vast wilder
ness frowned. Death lurked in the
forest and the clearing. Men had died
from ak wounds and arrows. Children
had persisted Of starvation and disease
and young wives had died in mother
hood. Over each door hung the ,weap-
ons of hunt and warfare. Life was
grim and heroic with Odyssean I'M
certainty.
DUT there were the rooftree and the
ID precious fire, grain in the bin and
the stripped carcass by the door. This
was their home; only death could dis
possess them, Their minds and their
hearts were their own and not even
death could dispossess them. Here a
man might speak as he pleased and
pray as he pleased. He could not ask
for more, having known the wrongs of
oppression and the terrors Of the wide
sea and strange land.
AND so a day was set aside for
"A Thanksgiving to God for His
great goodness, for the boon of life,
for rooftree and fire and food and the
privilege of the thankful heart. On
that day, between the stormy sea and
the awful wilderness, these people

colony. Connecticut also had sim
liar festival annually from 1647 on
ward. Usually these days for thanks
giving followed the harvest, and were
set aside primarily to give thanks to
the Lord for the blessings he had be-
slowed upon the Colonists. During
the Revolution. the Continental con-
gress appointed one or more days for
thanksgiving each year, except in 1777,
when not even a congressman could
find any blessings to point out to his
constituents as reason for rejoicing.
These Revolutionary Thanksgiving
days usually were founded upon some
military success and fortune smiled
wanly, indeed, upon the Continental
army In 1777-the winter of despair at
Valley Forge.

rally. that eventually led them to VIC
tory by a comfortable margin.
The defensive play of the Demons
was weak, particularly in the first
quarter when the opposition got away
to a four point lead. The second half
was all Bismarck, however, and Tuttle
was able to tally but two points in
each of the last two quarters.
Finnegan carried the heavy scoring
guns for the locals, counting seven
times from the floor and finding the
hoop three times out of five with gift
shots. It was Gus Schlickenmeyer
however, who led the locals out OF
the doldrums early in the game, and
it was his sterling defensive play that
spelled victory for Bismarck. Olgier-
son, at center, performed we'll on the
floor and picked up seven points for
the Demons.
Miller at forward for futile played
a stellar game, tossing in four field
goals to lead his team in scoring. Ell

New York, Dec. 12.--(P)-The ma
tional pocket billiard championship
tournament entered its second week
Monday with four of the 10 contend
ers still unbeaten.
Heading the undefeated brigade
was the defending champion, Ralph
Greenleaf of New York. The cham
pion had won three successive

Trailing the leaders were Andrew

one game and lost three. George
Kelly of Philadelphia, James Mills of

successive matches and Mills and
Franklin four each.
Allen sprang the biggest surprise
Of the tournament when he handed

was poor at times and their defense
left much to be desired.
Soon after the opening whistle Mil
Ter and Elliot started to find the hoop
for Tuttle and the period ended with
the locals on the short end of 10

invaders maintained fast clip and
stayed out ahead until Schlickenmeyer
came in at guard to bolster up the
defensive. At the end Of the half
the Demons had managed to exc out
a one-point lead and were ahead, ID
to II.
Tuttle was bottled up effectively in
the second half and were able to
count but once in each period, with
Battenberg and Miller each connect
ing for a field goal.
Finnegan and Olgierson continued
to tally in both quarters and the
Demons coasted in with a comfort
able margin.

feated a team picked from students
