Name Nov. 30 As Day.
The President has issued his
proclamation naming Thursday,
November 30 next, as a day for
thanksgiving.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE t'NITED
STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
When, nearly three centuries
-o, the first settlers came to the
tntry which has now become this
.at republic, they fronted not
.!y hardship? and privation, but
rrible risk to their lives. In those
im years the custom grew of set
apart one day in each year for
a special service of thanksgiviug to
the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing sea
sons. The custom has become national
and hallowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plenti
ful times, than our forefathers, the
men who, with rugged strength,
faced the rugged days; and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at auy previous time
in our history.
It is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a
day for praise and thanksgiving to
the giver of good, and, at the same
time, that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mer
cies received, should manfully ac
knowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome
them.
During the last year we have
been blessed with bountiful crops.
Our business prosperity has been
great. No other people has ever
stood on as high a level ot material
well-being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from
without.
The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own
passions, appetites and folly.
Against these there is always
need that we should war.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of this Novem
ber, as a day of thanksgiving for
the past and of prayer for the fu
ture, and on that day I ask that
throughout the land the people
gather in their homes and places of
worship, and in rendering thanks
unto the Most High for the mani
fold blessings of the past year, con
secrate themselves to a life of clean
liness, honor and wisdom, so that
this nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and of those
who preserved it.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this second day of November, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and five, and of the
independence of the United States
the one hundred and thirtieth.

ABOUT FOOD POISONING-
Absolut Cleanliness In Handing ol Foods Es
sential Turn Out Canned Goods on Opening.
There are many ways in which
food-stuffs may give rise to more or
less serious disturbances of health.
Official examinations are constantly
revealing how widespread is the
practice of adding preservatives or
adulterants to viands of all sorts and
though it must be admitted that in
many instances thes substances
are by their nature or the smallness
of the quantities used comparatively
harmless, still in the majority of
cases the conditions are such as to
render their presence extremely un
desirable. But entirely apart from these,
severe illness not infrequently foll
ows the use of certain commcn
foods. In animal foods, extremely
poisonous principles called ptotnains
easily appear as the result of bact
erial activity, and may cause whole
sale illness.
Dairy products are especially
prone to such changes, and if not
properly cared tr.r may develop ty
rotoxicon, or cheese poison, a sub
stance that is not rare in ice cream,
while botulism is a serious form of
ptomain poisoning, following the
eating of tainted meat or sausage.
Fish and shellfish yield similar
products, a specially vicious poison
named mytilotoxin having been iso
lated from muscles, and canned
things are also often offenders in
this way.
The symptoms produced by these
substances may be extremely se
vere, and comprise intense gastric
pain, vomiting, intestinal disturb
ances, burning thirst, construction
ot the throat, and oftentimes dis
tnrbance of sight, such as hazy and
double vision. In marked cases
there is great prostration and weak
ness of the heart, which may last
for weeks.
The practical lesson to be drawn
from a consideration of these possi
bilities is the necessity for scrupu
lous care in the handling of all
things intended for table use. All
perishable foods must be consumed
as quickly as possible, and must
never be left out of the ice chest
longer than is absolutely necessary.
Canned goods should be entirely
removed from the tin as soon as
opened, and nothing that is intend
ed to be eaten should ever be allow
ed to stand unprotected trom the
dust. The air is constantly swarm
ing with bacteria and mold spores,
which find admirable conditions for
growth in the dishes prepared for
the human stomach, and often give
rise to the production of the poisons
in question. Lastly, every article
of food, tinned or otherwise, that is
at all abnormal in appearance,
taste or odor, should be discarded.
Youth's Companion.
The President has appointed
Charles A. Stillings of Boston, as
public priuter. He entered upon
his duties the 1st of November.

TuE ELECTION
Pennsylvania has been rescued
from the hands of the most iniquit
ous gang of corrupt leaders that
ever disgraced an American state.
The election of William H. Berry
to the office of State Treasurer is
not a Democratic victory, but the
result of an uprising of honest
citizens of all parties who are tired
of the political methods that were
inveuted by M. S. Quay, and which
have dominated the state for many
! years but which now in the absence

grief under the leadership of less
astute politicians and grafters.
The state treasury has been In
the bands of the gang for many
years, and that the state funds have
been used by them for their person
al gain is beyoud any question, and
no one but a few hide bound gang
organs has had the temerity to
deny it. The candidate for state
treasurer has been elected by the
machine term after term, so that
there has been no opportunity for
investigation, but now Mr. Berry
will lift the lid and there are likely
to be some interesting develop
ments. Just watch and see what
happens.

sBy. Grangers Will Swarm to Sunbury
lik 9 Bess
Charles H Dildine ha sent the
following letter relating to the
Grange c.-.nvention that will be
held a. Sunbury next 111 tilth.
Uoh'sbiug. Pa., Nov. 1, 1905.
I)e.,r Sir: It i gtati.'ying to see
how wi ling the people of Sunbury
are to take lodgers. I will arrive
in your city Monday, December
t ith. a diy before the convention,
and open headquarters and a bureau
of information in the Armory. The
Grange will have a committee to
meet all trains and escort the dele
gates and visitors to the Armory,
when they will be given their lodg
ing place and everything will work
like clock work.
Dinner, on Tuesday, December
12th. will be the first meal. I just
heard from a number of county
Granges throughout the tate, and
they say they will swarm into your
city like bees. All the officers will
arrive on the nth, but the Grange
Train will not arrive until Tuesday
the 1 2th. Tell your chief of police
that he will not need an extra force j
as cverytuing will be Harmonious.
Did you stop to think of the
amount of money that the Grange
convention will leave in Sunbury?
Iu four d.p s they will spend n ar y
$10,000 for board and lodgings
alone. And each will spend from
$t to $10 for merchandise, presents,
etc. The State Grange gives the
delegates the money to pay their car
tare, and the county Granges sup
ply the money for the meals and
lodgings.
You say there are a number of
old Grangers in your city ? Nine
men and four ladies can organize a
local Grange. If that number is
secured I will come and organize
them. When we met at Erie last
year, Judge Wallig said he would
join and he did, and he is now one
of our most earnest workers.
I send all your letters and the
articles the various newspapers so
kiudly publish in the interest of
the couveuliou to State Headquar
ters. Chas. H. Dildine,
Member Executive Board.
Tba l ew Shoot While the Millions Starve.
A news item says that Mrs. Leit-
er, the American mother of Lady
Curzon, has reined Tullock Castle
in Rosshire. Scotland with 7,000
acres of land for grouse shooting.
1 here are many such great game
preserves in England and Scotland,
many of them made from lands for
merly under culitvation. Mean
while hundreds of thousands or En
glish farmers with their wives and
children have fjeen driven to the
great cities, into idleness and vice
with the inevitable resultant mental
physical aui moral deterioration.
hue wealthy Englishmen and
Americans shoot over these great
preserves, there are eight millions
inhabitants of the United Kingdom
constantly in danger of staivation
and twenty millions more who are
not comfortable, in the simple and
clean sense of the word.
There 28,000,000, who are either
on the borders of want or in danger
of starvation, out of a total popula
tion ot 47,000,000, are huddled in
the cities.
A similar tendency to leave the
country and go to the cities is every
where apparent in America and if
it goes on unchecked, is bound here
as it has done in England, to cause
a gradual degeneration of the race.
How to overcome this tendency
is a problem deserving the best
efforts of statesmen, philanthropists,
and churchmen as well as the great
captains of commerce and railway
magnates who make railway rates
that favor the great cities at the
expense of the rest of the country
thus attracting to the cities hun
dreds of thousands who for their
own good and that of their children
ought to stay in the country and in
the smaller towns. Patriot.
