From personal experience I testify that DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are unequaiod as a liver pill. They ere rightly named because they give streugth and energy and do tneir work with ease—vV. L’. Easton, Boerne, Tex. Thousands of people are using these tiny little pills in preference to all others, b'-cause they are so pleasant and effectual. They cure biliousness, torpid liver, jaun dice, sick headache, constipation, etc. They do not purge and weaken, but cleanse and strengthen. Sold by Cherokee Drug Co. Chicago, Xov. 22.—In this sermon, ap propriate to the season, the preacher points out the manifold reasons we have as a nation for a joyful acknowl edgment of God's goodness to us on every hand. The text is Proverbs xv, 1.1. “He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Thanksgiving day! What does this American queen of festivals mean to the average hungry boy—for the aver age American boy is always hungry! A i feast, a great big dinner! A feast ; which is famous for two characteris- ( ! tics—first, quantity—that is the great essential; second, (juaiity — this sec-i ond characteristic must tread closely j upon t he heels of the former. Not only j should there be plenty of food and not only should the soups and the fish, the : turkeys and the ducks and the vege tables and the salads and the pies and tlie puddings and the ice cream be mar- shaled in courses, but these courses must all be of good quality. Then the gardens should contribute their finest pumpkins, the vineyards their most luscious fruits and the orchards ti eir richest juices. Then the cooks must try to outdo themselves by testing the scored recipes for the mince pies—these recipes which the cooks guard as jeal ously as the patent medicine men do the formulas of their “cure alls’’ or as that famous Delaware family does the secrets by which it is able to hold as a monopoly the making of gunpowder for the nation. A Thanksgiving day for a hungry hoy and no banquet! It would | he a farce, an absurdity; a wedding without a bride, “Hamlet” without the ! Dane, a spring carnival of flowers with no May queen, an orchesPa without music, a comedy, a merrymaking with empty dishes, a Barmecide fe.-ist! We have never fully outgrown our early respect for the culinary master pieces of the Thanksgiving kitchen. We hojv that we never shall. But to day we would interpret our text from a higher standpoint than the hungry hoy’s stomach. We would apply it. in the figurative sense, to the banquet of gratitude, the banquet of love, the ban quet of divine mercy—the banquet which King Solomon described when he wrote these words: “He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” It is in order to recount some of the many mercies, both national and do mestic. that 1 preach this sermon. May our hearts, one and all, be joyful on j the coming Thanksgiving day! Gutl’n GoudneftM nnri Mercy. My purpose extends beyond the day itself. Next Thursday, by presidential and gubernatorial appointment, we call to mind our national mercies and as a nation render thanks to him who lias crowned the year with his goodness, but his blessings to us as individuals 1 are so many and so great that they de mand wbat Solomon in my text calls a continual feast. Not alone on the com ing Thanksgiving day, hut every day | from year to year as we receive daily i bounties from his hand, should our i hearts boat with love and gratitude to him whose goodness and mercy follow j us all our days. Thanking him for past mercies, trusting him for future bless ings, let us rejoice that we have a God so good and kind, and thus lot our thanksgiving become perpetual and our gladness a continual feast. Let us rejoice over our national pos sessions geographical.

Fertile and beautiful our land! Yes. It is situated in the temperate zone, the best of all climates. Tlie intense fires of the trop ics cannot burn It, nor the refrigerat ing blast of the far north freeze it. Truly It is with us ns with the peo pie who inherited the promised land “Tlie Lord thy God bringetb then into a good land; a land of brooks of w’nter. of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and iiomegranates; a land of oil, olives and honey; a land where in thou staalt eat bread without scarce ness—thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are Iron, and out of whose hills thou mnyest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he pith given thee.” Oar Natloaml Poaiir«Mlona. Good not onfy In reference to its fer tility. but also in size. The United States, exclusive of the immense gold fields of Alaska, Is estimated to have an area of over 3,025,000 square miles Few people have any comeption oi what that enormous territory means. A few months ago a disgruntled states man of Texas was reported to have de clared that in tlie near future the Unit ed States government would disinte grate. He begged the Texans to stand firm together, so that the state of old Sam Houston might become the “re public of Texas,” with 30.000,000 in habitants. But. though this statement excited a smile over the length and breadth of the land and though we do not believe this government of ours will ever disintegrate as long as earth ly time shall last, we do believe that the statement in reference to the sup porting area of Texas is not ojf'rdrawn. Germany in 1895 had a population of 52,279.901 inhabitants, but Texas is larger than Germany. France in 1S9G had a population of 38,517,975 inhab itants, but Texas is larger than France. Italy in 1895 had a population of 31,- 102,833 inhabitants, but Texas is near ly two and one-half times as large as Italy. Great Britain and Ireland col lectively have an area of 120,809 square miles and by the 1891 census 37.732.- 922 inhabitants, hut Texas is over twice as large as the areas of Great Britain and Ireland combined. California, Mon tana or the two Dakotas united are as large as any of the European monarchies I have mentioned. Oh, the immensities as well as the geographical possibili ties of our AmericSn possessions! A noted English statesman once said: “Tlie American people, in reference to their enormous valuations of land, are like a lot of spendthrift boys who have fallen heirs to a fabulous fortune. They do not know liow to appreciate their good fortune. Born with a golden spoon in their mouths, they think all other nations cat their soup with the same kind of a ladle.” Let us today thank God first for our national possessions geographical. Canne For Thnnklnliieim. Another cause for national thanks giving is our country's industrial pros perity. It is one thing to possess a for- | tune; it is quite another thing to be able to make that fortune interest bear ing; one fact to he “land rich.” an other fact to be “land poor.” Many and many a man lias been burled against a financial wall and his business life squeezed out in tlie bankruptcy court not because he did not own a fortune, but because he could not make market able at the time the securities he pos sessed. Many years ago a prominent railroad man was taking Thanksgiving dinner at our home in Brooklyn. Dur ing a walk that afternoon our guest made a statement which will never leave my memory. “De Witt,” said he to my father, for they were old school friends, “if I live one year more l shall he worth a million dollars; if three years, throe millions. But if 1 die within six mouths my estate and in vestments are in such an involved con dition that I shall he wortli practically nothing.” He died within six months, and ids fears in reference to his estate were verified. Now, our country has to he thankful for its blessings geograph leal during the past year. It has also to be thankful because it has been blessed industrially. Never since bur government was founded have there been greater harvests or a vaster tide of transportation west to east and east to west; never a time when our fac tories have been so overworked; never a time when there has been so much money to spend and in circulation; never a time when labor has been re ceiving so much for its services. So overcrowded are some of the factories with orders that, though they may work night and day, they cannot sup ply the demand for shoes, gloves, hats, linen, hosiery and overcoats and um brellas, wagons and automobiles and all tlie necessities and luxuries of life. The only scarcity today in the business world is the scarcity of men. Work? There is plenty of work for every hon est man capable of doing any mechan ical work who is not a shirk, a loafer or an incapable. Today ought we not to lie thankful that every man is aide to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow—that work, blessed work, is with in the grasp of all? Our InduMtrlnl Prosperity. The opportunities industrial with which this Thanksgiving day of 1903 lias been blessed are the more to lie appreciated because they have for a dark background the financial panics of 1895 and 189(1 and 1897. In busi ness so extensive and diversified as ours there have been losses and perils and ominous disturbances, hut we have survived them, and the general trend lias been prosperous. They tell us that our laborers receive two and one-half times as much ns those of England, three times as much as in France, four times as much as in Germany, five times as much ns in Russia and six times as much as in Italy. They tell us that in some parts of Europe the peasants wear wooden shoes and that there are countries where the wives and mothers and daughters of farmers are sometimes hitched together as cat tle to drag the plows through the fields. They tell us that In India a capitalist can hire a clerk or a laborer for 4 cents a day to work for fourteen long hours, and upon (Sat 4 cents per day the poor wretch has to board himself. He lives for the most part upon a dally handful of rice, and when a time of scareity comes unless charity saves him 4 he starves tv death. But, though foreign labor may receive but a mere pittance for its services, some of us can remem ber, during tlie panic days of 1890, when hundreds and thousands of men here could not get Work at any price. We remember when at night the floors of the Chlcrgo station houses were crowded with a half starved, unkempt mass of humanity, striving in every way to get work and yet unable to find It. If yon have not fathomed any of the deep miseries of those dark years. then read a tragedy as intense and vivid as William f-bakespeare ever wrote. Read the pathetic autobiog raphy of Walter Augustus Wyckoff, the Princeton professor who wrote the two Inioks called “Workers East” and “Workers West." In order to learn by personal experience the condition of the unskilled worker, lie left his pro fessorial chair during those dark years and tried to support himself as a day laborer. He plodded through the streets of our great cities day in and day out. He pleaded for work. He pleaded with starving eyes and parch ed tongue. He lived among human brutes who were once men. but who had become embruted by hunger and were wild because they were starving and could not find work. O my broth er,' on this coming Thanksgiving day be grateful. Deep down in your heart be grateful that there is now work, plenty of work, for all honest, capable men who are willing to work. It’s been hard times for the country Under the stripes cf red. Giving us thorns for roses. Giving us stones for bread, But they’re singing a song of promise That rings from the vales and hills, And we’re hoping to near the music Of the wheels of the grinding mills. ' It’s been hard times for the country And never the fault of the soil; The seed still followed the sunlight And climbed to the scythe of toil. And the fields were piled with plenty. But still by the vales and hills There was never the song of the turning, The hum of the turning mills. Hard, hard times for the country. But darkness has flown to the past. Is the song of the seas and The mountains The answer of God at last? Yes. at last the day is breaking. And the fights on the hills and rills, And the lirn., fair world is shaking With the throb of the moving mills. A Nation of Happy Homes. Another cause for national rejoicing: We are, as a nation, a great collection of happy homes. As a people, we love our own firesides. The name that is most honored in our ears is not that of general or prince or king or cardinal, but that of father and mother, hus band. wife, brother, sister, son, daugh ter, grandchild. So honored are the domestic terminologies among us that 000 of the greatest encomiums ever giv en to our martyred president, William McKinley, was that he was a tender. ! loving husband. The best si*och he ever made, iho one that touched most deeply the hearts of his countrymen, was not a political speech, hut the gen tle words he uttered to his sick wife. To her he was never impatient, never unkind, always tlie tender and protect ing lover and friend. Those little lover-, like attentions to his invalid spouse thrilled American hearts because the; American nation is essentially a col lection of loving, happy homos. Of course in making such a statement as this we do not affirm that the Amer- ican people are entirely free from do- I mestic scandal and divorce courts, hut we do affirm that, in comparison with | tlie millions upon millions of happy American homes, .unhappy homes are, the rare exception. And we do affirm that the longer we live the dearer those ! homes become to us day by day. I know that this fact is true in reference j to myself and my many friends. When | I was a hoy 1 was sent away to a mill- ! tary hoarding school. People said that I would get homesick when I left my mother and sisters. Well, that was true. I did get homesick. But as a small hoy I never got so awfully home-! •ik-k in leaving my mother and sisters j as I do now when I have to leave my I wife and my children. Why. home is : becoming so precious to me that people ! say I am getting foolisli and unreason able about it. 1. myself, not only | never want to leave homo, hut I never want any of tlie members of my family ; to leave it. If one of my children is gone even for a night there is left a great, big aching void. Is not my his- j tory that of almost every one of us? Are we not. one and all, members of j happy homes? Shall we not then thank God for the love that glows around our firesides, for our many blessings do j mestic? CauNO For National Gratitude. ^yiothor cause for national gratitude: j Our natloual solidity and political per | petuity. This was not always self evi dent. When the United States govern ment was formed there were thousands of foreign statesmen who derisively shook their heads. These wiseacres said: “That nation will never be run successfully. No people wejx* ever com petent to govern themse'lrs." But. strange to say, just as the scientific wiseacres argued against the practica hility of Robert Stephenson’s locomo tive, and it ran after all. so. after the Revolutionary war, the United States government ran smoothly and success fully. It ran in spite of the Qvil proph ecies that kings and princes and Euro pean statesmen uttered against it. Then came the dark clouds of the civil war. Oh, how dark and how threatening were those clouds! The cannonadlngs of the most awful at mospheric thunders were not louder than the roarings of the guns at Vicks burg and Gettysburg and Atlanta and Petersburg. The worst flashes of at mospheric lightning never blinded the eyes ns badly as did the flames of burn ing homes in the southland or the sheets of fire leaping out of the can nons’ mouths and the sharpshooters’ rifles. “Aha!” again cried the political wiseacres of Europe. “The govern ment for the people and by the people has at last heard Its funeral knell!” But the dark clouds rolled away, the sword was turned Into the plowshare and the spear Into the pruning hook, and, thank God. the government “for the people and by the people” still lived. (Jader Gnd’a Guardianship. Now, my friends, there have been for eign depredators of our form of gov ernment, and there have been domestic depredators also. There have been po litlcal agitators, decade after decade who have tried to convey the Idea that this government of ours was built on on the quicksands, that the corner stone of our national capitol would be top pled over unless this or that man was elected president of the United States. These domestic political agitators had their heyday in the first half of the past century. When Henry Clay was defeated for the presidency in 1844, my grandfather cried like a little child. My father said of him that he, like a host of “Prince Harry’s” followers, thought that the stability*f tlflu coun try was forever destroyed* Clear down to the time of the Election of a Grant over a Greeley and a GarfieA over a Hancock and a Cleveland over a Blaine we have heard the old story that the prosperity or the failure of our govern ment depended upon the election of this or that man. Now. thank God. as a nation we have lived long enough to know that the strength of this country is not dependent upon any one man. any one hundred men or any one thou- I sand men. The strength of our country today is vested in the masses of the ; people, the common people, and as long ! as the people, the common people, re- j main true to God so long will the gov- i eminent at Washington gloriously live. | The responsibility of the chief execu tive grows greater as the influence of > the country increases. May we ever ! seek out tlie wisest and best of our i statesmen for that high office: But let us never be unduly alarmed. The dos- i tinies of this groat nation are in the hands of the King of kings. To him on this coming Thanksgiving day we | bend the knee and commit to him the 1 future of our beloved country. Though through a political blunder a bad or a foolish man were elected to the presi dential chair and as a consequence peril menaced the nation, yet, if we held fast our faith, out *.f the fire the government would emerge purified and triumphant, preserved by the almighty power of the God of our fathers. Lastly, we have cause for thanksgiv ing in the homage now being paid to this nation by other governments. Our power and our rectitude arc come to 1 recognition, and on all hands our | friendship is sought. Our former ene mies are now our most enthusiastic friends, and instead of detraction we are greeted with approbation and adu lation. Th«- Giver of BlexainK". The time, also, has passed away when any one great nation can live a hermit’s life. The laws of trade and commerce have made all nations next door neighbors. Commodore Matthew C. Perry in 1854 earned immortal fame by opening tlie doors of Japan to the United States’ merchant ships. Now 1 all national doors are swung upon double hinges. They swing in. They | swing out. Even China’s commercial doors are unlocked to the commerce of the world. English capitalists hold American securities, and American cap italists are Investing in China and Ja pan and Italy and in English and Gor man securities. The purse strings of tlie world are more and more becom- j in& international. Any financial flurry here gives the Bank of England a chil!. I puts the Australian money market in | a fright and causes financial trembling | at Paris, St. Petersburg and Berlin. If Turkish bonds are refused liquidation, the Mediterranean waters are blacken ed witli foreign men-of-war coming to collect their bills. Thus more and more the interests, moral and temporal, of i the different nat ons are being bound | together by fetters of gold. More and 1 more the different governments are having to treat each other kindly and helpfully, beeaus ■ wl.eu a nation strikes at another nation it is beating the life out of its own heart. War is becoming so costly that It is almost a forbidden luxury. The blessings of peace are be coming more and more universal- peace. which will make our fields gold en with grain, our homes happy with love, our hearts aglow with a desire for the best welfare of our neighbors, both national and international, and which will keep our altars sacred to the God. the great Father above, from whom all blessings (low. Oh, the hap piness, the Joy. which should attend our Thanksgiving day of 1903! On tills glorious Thanksgiving day let us give God the praise for what he has done for us as a nation during the past twelve months. We rejoice that the fear of ruining international com merce is putting a restraint on kings ambitious for war. The real potentates of the world arc the kings of the har vest field, the mines and the foundries, on whom tlie crowned heads of the na tions must depend for their resources. These are in the control of the King of kings, whose is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. To him we offer our adoration, and in him we trust. To him may sincere t^inksgiving lie upon every lip and song in every heart. May we praisqhim! Praise the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit! Praise the triune God. Praise him! Praise him! Praise him! “Let everything that bath breath praise the Lord. Halleluiah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” Halleluiah, amen and amen!

It has recently 'jeen discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills th* germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
