"Very Vouch," was my reply. "At 10 eara of age you know yourself a successful man and all that you have made has come honestly. The- good name, that the Bible speaks of.

Joy. and sorrow and also a home and competence; tho same legacy goes likewise to the children. You have made provision for them and God has blessed you. Then there are your many friends In the business world and the friends who from time to time have fathered about your fire side. While the shuttles In time's loom have worked to and fro with great rapidity there has been woven for you a righteous character and manhood. Then above all this day you have the right to appropriate the love of Him who says: "Him that com eth unto me I will In no wise cast out." Don't you think then that you nave much for Vnlch to be thank ful?" He saw It all and answered: "There Is much." In a few days he was gone and with hearts of gratitude tils family to this time must be thank ful far his noble life, and .now as we celebrate another Thanksgiving occasion we can be thankful to Qod that through his mercy even a dying man is not cut off from the thank ful habit.

It is sacri lege to even mention the sacred name In any auch connection. Tha poorest man In this vorld Is nqt without a friend and for this friendship is a reason for thankfulnesa We may not see our friends often, they may be in the same town or far removed, but we . know they exist It Is not necessary J,fcf up and down the street paraditur the' fact that each a man "is my. friend."

T,o find a dead . bird In tha woods Is not unusual. ? Of course like all living things they must die, but their days are spent In looking for and finding a living and all the time singing their . songs of Joy and thanks giving. When they -are sick or. get ready to die tfney must take them selves ott to some sequestered or un frequented place and there give up the ghost without making others sor rowful over their Inability to sing again, the old aongs. While life lasts It Is one of Joy and thanksgiving 'with the birds. They are not croakers. Tbey do not dlsplse, but' carry glad ness everywnere.

Mr. Robert Hoover, a well-known farmer of FlneYflte-.. township, lost his home bjr.jSre'Jate Friday night. He and his family-bad-retired for the night and :rere soundly sleeping when the flames broke out In the roof, and when they awaked the top was about ready to fall In. They barely escaped with their lives. Their household and kitchen furniture and the personal effects were destroyed. Among the things lost waa MS in gold, which Mra Hoover had horded away In a bureau drawer. In flying from tho house Mrs. Hoover ran by the bureau, pulled out a drawer, thinking that she had the one that contained the money, and carried It out, but It developed later that she had taken the wrong one. The house was a two-story frame affair. Mr. Hoover did not carry any insurance. tft MR, 30lViiiQS TO rREACU.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mother and grandmothers gave us our dally dose of sulphur and mo laases every spring and fall. It was tb.e universal spring; and fall ' blood purifier, tonic ana cure-au, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was without merit. The Idea was good, but the reme dy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur In a palatable, con contrated form, rf that a Blngle grain Is far more effective than a table spoonful of the crude sulphur In recent years research and ex perlment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use I that ob tained from Calcium (Calcium sui phlde) and sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafer. They are small chocolate-coated pel lets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly con centrated, effective form. Few people are aware ef the value ot this form of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and puri fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every sprln and fall, but the crudity and Impurity of ordinary flow era of sulphur wer often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart h Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M Wllklns, while experi menting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: 'For liver, Kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the result obtained .from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pimples and even deep-seated car buncles. I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druKRlsts and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constlpstlon, liver and kidney troubles and especially In all forms of skin diseases as thin remedy. At any rate, people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood 'purifiers' will nnn in Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation."
