105 CHILDREN

There were four generations of them
—seven children, HW grandchildren,
57 great-grandchildren, and seven
great-great-grandchildren.
IT WORKED
FOR ME
Women should
take only
liquid
laxatives
T|/fORE people could fed fine, be
ITI. fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can’t be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, and that’s why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn’t give you absolute relief, if
it isn’t a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes biliousness due to con-
stipation, your money back.
But the Man Didn’t
Indians were once fond of scalp-
ing a man, but they had to get over
It.

Rid Yourself of
Kidney Poisons
r\0 you suffer burning, scanty or
\J too frequent urination/ backache,
headache, dizziness, loss of energy,
leg pains, swellings and puffiness
under the eyes? Are you tired, nerv-
ous-feel all unstrung and don't
know what is wrong?
Then give some thought to your
kidneys. Be sure they function proper-
ly for functional kidney disorder per-
mits excess waste to stay in the blood,
and to poison and upset the whole
system.
Use Doan's Pills. Doan's are for the
kidneys only. They are recommended
the world over. You can get the gen-
uine, time-tested Doen's at any drug
store.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
The Day Before Thanksgiving
"X^HANKSUIVINO day I How these
words spelled days and days of
work and worry for the colonial
housewife I A festive holiday It was
called hy proclamation, observes a
writer In the Boston Herald, but actu-
ally it represented n day which de-
manded more preparation than most
any other In the year, onr old New
England traditions required It—the
Puritans did. so must we—was the com-
mon understanding of the day.
In days of yore grandmother would
start her Thanksgiving preparation
weeks In advance. The pies must be
made. Of course she wouldn’t serve
mince pies that hadn’t ••ripened.” They
were mnde In quantity and put down
cellar where they frequently froze to a
solidity overcome only by a hot oven
Just before the feast.
In passing It might be well to remind
you of the custom In one New England
family to have three pieces of pie for
breakfast on Thanksgiving morn.
Mince, apple and squash were the three
dictated by tradition.
Well In advance of the traditional
day one would see grandmother take
down the seasoning used but a few
churning the cottage cheese, collecting
the eggs, etc., etc.
Then came the day—the house must
be spic aud span. Dozens of pictures
must be dusted, the parlor must be
opened up, wood brought In for the
extra stove, chestnuts gathered to put
on the fireplace hearth—and on went
the great process of preparation.
The folks came, hugs and kisses went
the rounds, the new baby was chucked
under the chlu and an Immediate re-
treat to the kitchen by the feminine
members took place. By oue-thlrty or
two the feast took place—and then the
dishes. Stacks upon stacks of dishes,
pots and pans (usually the turkey pan
went under the sink for scouring the
following day).
Games, gossip, etc., occupied a brief
The Wonderful Feaet Is Served to the
Happy Guests.
period until time for supper, when
again the kitchen stnfT swung Into ac-
tion and made turkey sandwiches,
poured the cider and cut up the pies.
As the lights were blown out it was
usual to hear the women folks say.
“Didn’t we have a good time, but Isn’t
Thanksgiving a tiresome day!"
This was the Thanksgiving of yore
contrasted to the modern Thanksgiving
of a restful morning, a motor ride
through the country or a ride “In
town.” a sumptuous dinner prepared by
chefs who have vied with grandmother
and her recipes until even she Is forced
to admit that she has been surpassed
—a delightful matinee ut the theater
and an evening In the game cellar at
home. What a contrast—and what a
pity that grandmothers of old couldn’t
be here now to reap the benefits of the
advance of New England family tradi-
tions!
Possession Demands Our
Service, Lest We Perish
The only hope of perfecting hu-
man relationship Is In accordance
with the law of service under which
men are so solicitous about what
they shall give. Yet people are en-
titled to the rewards of their Indus-
try. Whut they earn Is theirs, no
matter how small or how great. But
the possession of property carries
the obligation to use It In a larger
service.
For a man not to recognize the
truth, not to be obedient to law, to
render allegiance to the state, is for
him to be at war with Ills own na-
ture, to commit suicide. That Is why
“the wages of sin Is death." Unless
we live rationally, we perish physi-
cally, naturally, spiritually.

Thanksgiving Preparations Started
Long In Advance.

ground up and gradually the stuffin'
for the turkey was prepared—this also
went down cellar to ripen. We mustn't
forget the plum pudding which was
made well In advance and hung In a
bag up In the attic suspended from a
nail so Interested mice could not ap-
proach.
Then came the days before Thanks-
giving. Sous were drafted to collect
and crack the butternuts, walnuts,
beechnuts, etc. (and more than op* fin-
ger was smashed In the process).
Daughters were drafted to peel squash,
turnips, carrots, potatoes, sweet and
white, and of course the proverbial tear-
producing onions.
The turkey must be caught, killed,
plucked, singed and hung up for a day
before ne wns brought to the kitchen.
Grandmother must mnke her famous
nut bread for William (“he does like It
so when he comes home”). "Sadie, you
make the fudge—Alice, you make the
molasses candy—Sue, you make—’’ and
so It goes. Everyone hustles, all want-

How Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Bad Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab-
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fifth night if needed.
How do Calotabs help Nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs is
one of the most thorough and de-
pendable of all intestinal ellmlnanta.
thus cleansing the intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucus and toxinea.
Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the
kidneys, promoting the elimination
of cold poisons from the system. Thus
Calotabs serve the double purpose of
a purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed in the t
of colds.
