Mello Homemakers! Do you , re -
Member what Grandmother did on
Thanksgiving Day in, the past? -
She spent endless hours 'preparing
a feast 'that was to make even the
sturdy table groan. She climbed the
stairs at night weary to the bone from
standing over the stove, but it was
worth all the effort and expense just
to have her children and grandchild-
ren with her once more_
To -day grandmother does not have
to slave to give holiday 'cheer to her
brood. Her cooking ts no trouble, be-
cause she employs efficient electrical
ways said still serves the most delici-
ous food. She keeps up the family
tradition, of Thanksgiving dinner at
her' house, bat when you arrive, •the
work is all done. She is a wise grand-
mother who plans her day in advance,
and lets her kitchen appliances do
the work for her.
Now, if you've a "wind/fan" of visi-
tors for 'Thanksgiving dinner—you
can make yqur work a lot easier, and
have time out to enjoy your company,
if you fallow up the work schedule
and menus .we've .planned for you.

problems and watch this little corner
of the column, for replies.
From Great Minds
Cheerfulness
Which will you do: smile and make
others happy; or be crabbed, and
make everyone around you miserable?
The amount of happiness you can
produce is incalculable, if you show
a smiling face, and speak pleasant
words;there is no joy like thht which
springs from a kind act, or a pleas-
ant deed; and you may feel it at night
when you ret, and at morning when
you rise, an through all the day when
about your business.
d'Agoult
God's Presence
As age advances, the certainty ef
God's presence and willingness to
commune with us grows stronger'and
somehow ever, more real, as if there
were but a step between time and
eternity. I cannot altogether account
for it but it grows stronger and
stronger as age advantes. Some bod-
ily powers, I suppose, are going, but
I begin to feel moving within me in a
way which P. sometimes canhot und-
erstand "the 'power of the world, to
come."
Mary Elizabeth Haldane
Love of Others
Think what it is to be full of love
to every creature,, to be frightened: at
nothing, to be sure that all things will,
tuna to good, not tcc mind pain, 'be-
cause it is our Father's will; to know
that nothing could part us 'from God
who loves us, and who fills our souls
with peace and joy, because we are
sure that whatever He will is- holy,
just and good.
George Eliot.
Dawn
And now he saw with lifted eyes
The
The East like a great chancel rise,
And deep through all his senses drawn
Received the sacred wine of dawn,—
Henry Newbolt,
Daily Gratitude
Thank God every morning, when
you get up that you have somehing to
do that day which must be done,
whether you like it or not.
Being forced to work, 'and forced
to do your best, will breed in you
temperance and self-control, diligence
and strength of will, cheerfulness
and content, and a hundred virtues
which the idle will never know.
—C. Kingsley.
Idleness
Idleness is indeed the burial of a
living man; an idle person being so
useless to any purposes of ,God and
man that he is like one that is dead,
unconcerned in the changes and ne-
cessities of the world . . Idleness
is the greatest prodigality, in the
world; it throws that which is inishlu-
able in respect of its present use,
and irreparable when it is past being,
to be recovered by no power of Art
or 'nature—Jeremy Taylor.
Deeds
We' cannot always 'be doing great
work, but we can always be doing
somethingthat 'belongs to our con-
dition. To be silent, to suffer, to
pday, when we cannot act,,is accept-
able .to God. A disappointment; a
contradition, a harsh word, an annoy,

as in Ins Presence, is worth,.,.jnore

Getting out of a train, with difficul-
ty the other morning and fearing that
a fellow -traveller might think from
my contortions that I was intoxicated,
I aplained.to him that I had' a touch
of rheumatism.
"Well," he, said, "I've never had
rheumatism myself—touch wood—
but I remember' 'meeting a chap in
Manchester 'who told me he had had
terrible rheumatism; that he'd, tried

FRUFFAIIVESatelr:
that they 'are being scientifically up
to date if they doubt kinds of
things their ancestors beli„eved in—
doubt them, and decide without fur-
ther investigation that they are er-
roneous. Doubt is an excellent thing,
but only if it leads to investigation.
These people claim the right not only
to doulbt, but to denk ever given tea
ntinutee thought to the matter.
Marty People deny the existence of
ghosts, for example, not because they -
have taken a scientific interest in the
subject, but merely because they look
on a belief in ghosts as absurd. Noth-
ing could Ibe more absurd, 'however,
than to regard a belief in ghosts as
absurd. Men, civilized and uncivilized,
have believed in them for centuries;
and, most of us have met people at
least as intelligent and honest as our-
selves, who declared that they had
seen them. I think that, on the evid-
ence, a belief in ghosts is in some in-
stances more scientific than supersti-
•
tious.
I confess I am myself a prey to
doubt in many matters; .that I often
doubt, not because I have any reason
to do so, but because it has long been
the fashion to doubt. Take astrology,
for example:---11Vtait reason have I for
doubting the genuineness of this anc-
ient science,?
I fancy te majority of the people
ceased to believe in astrology not be -
'cause they hid reasoned, the matter
out, but because it had become assoc-
iated with so many im.posters. Why
should an ignoramus such as I, dis-
believe in the genuineness of astrol-
ogy except for such unscientific
reasons? There was a time when the
iomontanus, [Cpopernicus, Tycho
Brahe, Galileo, Kepler, and others—
believed in astrology as dognatically
as the leaders of thought disbelieve in
it today. They probably had brains
as good as any -to be found. in modern
universities. And they used' arguments
for their belief that I. for one cannot
refute.
I's it not then a little unscientific
of me to wave aside the considered
opinions of these wise ancients mere-
ly because it cs the' modern custom to
wave them aside? I should -respect my
skepticism more if I had ever en-
quired into the evidence on which the
beliefs of tbese.great men.Were bas-
ed. But I am too lazy to do so.
Besides, when, I read: books on—ast-
rology, with the best will in. the World
I can -not follow the' jargon. I soon' feel
my brain whirling round as though
were ballooning through the airless.
space of the stratosphere. For ex-
ample, a chapter of 'Ptolemy is head-
ed: "Of the Faudliarities between
Countries and the' Triplicities' and
Stars." I cannot understand that. But
what puzzles me is why I. who can-
not understand What Ptolemy is talk-
ing about, should take it ,for granted
'he is talking nonsense. Why should
swallow all we are told nowadays
about influences of carrots, .and be un-
able to swallow 'what we were once
told about the influences of the stare?
IS it less likely that waxing moon
should favor seeds newly sown in my
vegetable garden, than that a waxing
vitamin should preserve 'me from

•
we- believe as, we disbelieve of
trust. We ac4uieSce superstitiously in,
the learned opinions only of our own
time. IA -
Witchcraft is 'another thing in the
reality of which we have ceased to
believe, not 'as a result of examininj
the evidence on both sides, butsnainly
because civilized men became tired
of belieroing in it. Grief or horrors that
rational men, being pragmatists, dec-
ided, that belief which was the root of
so much evil should be destroyed.
Perhaps it Is only in regard to cures
generally looked. upon as superstit-
Ions, that I reveal a more scientific
temper than most of mi. fellows. I
am inclined to experience with almost
any cure, from the water of a holy
well to a Patent medicine, ?corn the
repetitions of Coue to a witchpotion,,
I like reading the catalogues Of her-
balists, and 'always listen 'with inter-
est 'to theft who have been healed by

ing take :More thought and time than

I once bought an iodine locket and
forgot to..., wear it. 1 bought a bottle
of -dandelion coffee and forgot to fin-
ish It. Still the scientific spirit was
there in embryo. I feel it coining to
birth again every' time I become con-
