A NEWSPAPER FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE.
The big development of the
modern newspaper will be a-
long lines of personal service.
The newspaper that not only
conforms and instructs its pa-
trons and readers, but is of
service, is the one that com-
mands attention, gets circulat-
ion and also holds its readers
after it gets them. The news-
paper must be of service today
rot only as it has been in the
past in fighting the battles of
the people against tyrants and
in holding them in check when
the.v h ave been tempted to re-
venge outrages, but it must be
social service. It must not only
plead with the people to swat
the crook, but must also urge
them to swat the fly. It must
not only help in fighting for a
clean icty, but it must also aid
the clergy and others in the
fight for clean homes. It must
not only preach patriotism, but
it must show the folly of the
annual massacre on July 4—a
slaughter doubly horrible be-
cause it is done in the name
of patriotism. It must enter in-
to everyday life of its readers,
and, like the parish priest, be
guide, counsellor and friend.
I have often thought that a
newspaper can most closely re-
alize its real mission the near-
er it comes to attending the
ideals of the parish priest and
the clergyman in his ministra-
tions to his llock. And the
newspaper's flock is often
numbered in the hundreds of
thousands. All social work, and
especally the campaign a-
jjamst tuberculosis, owes much
to the co-operation of the
newspapers—and this co-op-
eration is heartily appreciat-
ed by the people and ma.jori-
ity of the leading doctors of
the United States. —James
Keeley, in Chicago Herald.

Thanksgiving
t CURIOUS? READ THIS.
♦ ♦
We Americans are an odd
lot. We tumble all over our-
selves to find out the other fel-
low's business.
We are the most curious
people on earth. A question
mark tantalizes us. We de-
vour news. We devour adver
tisements.
This is all natural. New
reading and ad re tding keeps
us up to date. The newspaper
is the common denominator of
the peoples' education.
Above all, for our pocket-
books' sake we ought to read
the ads in the Record, for they
are money-saving news artic-
les that are really worth while
and the leading institutions of
Prague advertise in this paper.

The Thanksgiving Tcb'e
Vegetables can be used for decora-
tion of the Thanksgiving day dinner
table, making an appropriate adorn-
ment. The ecnterpluce can be forme I
of vegetables piled up in the center of
the table. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
sweet and white potatoes, celery tops,
it red and a green cabbage, can all be
used if they are scrubbed clean and
wiped dry. Their colors are beautiful,
and if they are neatly mounded and
then edged with a border of fresh green
parsley they will be quite effective.
About the centerpiece candlesticks
formed of vegetables can be grouped.
Hig carrots make pood candlesticks.
Cut off tiic big end to make a solid
foundation on which these candlesticks
can rest and out oft" some of the taper-
ing end so that the end left will be
half an inch bigger in diameter than
tlie candles used. Then scoop out a
little cup to hold tlie candle.
Cucumbers cut on one side so that
they will sit solidly on the table, with
a little cup hollowed in each end. can
be used for holding two candles each.
Turnips, potatoes ami parsnips can all
be used.
The place cards to go with this sort
of decoration might be hand painted
vegetables, with waving, rootlike arms

"Oh, goodie! How soon is It?"
"About three week®."
"Oh, that's a long time! What shall
We do to get ready?"
"Why. we'll make pies and cookies."
"What else?"
"Plum pudding and ice cream."
"And—go on. mamma, please."
"Nuts ctnd raisins ai4d cranberries."
"lint but. mamma, do you mean
that Thanksgiving is ji:st nothing but
eating?" « ame the horrified rejoinder.
Isn't it loo bad that this holiday that
meant so much to our forefathers ul
most ,'jt ■;> years ago is now almost
"just mulling but eating?"
What could the mother do? She
cast around in Uer mind a mother's
mind is really more resourceful than
the mind of a mere being who is not a
mother—for something with which to
glorify Thanksgiving to her child.
Of course she linally dug up the story
of the sufferings and triumphs of the
pilgrims. She didn't just read it out
of a book to Little Hoy. She word
piloted that forost and the little log
houses, the pilgrim maids and men and
the few queer, sober, hardworking
little children, the great bronzed In-
dians and the sunlight that glinted
through the forest and through the
hearts of these pioneer folk when they
realized that God had so prospered
their hard, hard work that there was
food enough to last them during the
coming winter.
When the mother pictured the log
barns and the rude bins and cells, all
full of grain. Little Boy said, "Oh. I'm
so glad!"
"So were they, son, and so they set
aside a day for their children's chil-
dren forever to thank God for all the
pood things that grow."
"Is there enough for everybody?"
asked Little Hoy.
So then mother told him that, al
though there is enough for everybody,
still everybody doesn't get enough. She
told hitu of all the kind peojUe who try
to help the "left out ones" on Thanks-
giving day, and Little Hoy, while they
picked raisins and cleaned currants
and made cooky tuen, planned one of
everything for themselves ami one for
the "left out ones."
Thus IJttle Hoy found something in
Thanksgiving besides just eating.—

How to Prevent Croup
It may be a surprise to
you to learn that in many
cases croup may be prevent-
ed. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experience
as follows: "My little boy is
subject to croup. During the
past winter I kept a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in the house, and when he
began having that croupy
cough I would give him one
or two doses of it and it
would break the attack. I
like it better for children
than any other cough medi-
cine because children take it
willingly, and it is safe and
reliable." Obtainable every-
where.—adv. i <
