THANKSGIVING BAND CONCERT;
Splendid Program Arranged for this Most Pleasing of all
of Saline's Annual Events.
It was a happy inspiration on the
part of the band boy6 when they conceived the uotlon ol giving concerts
on Thanksgiving night. We rannot
imagine a more.fitting Conclusion for
the day. After the hour's of rest, visiting and feasting, what more natural
that all should "welcome the opportunity to go out for the evening and enjoy
a program such as .the combined
bands, orchestra, Prof. Converso,-.
readers and soloists are so capable of
presenting.
It is with pleasure we present tbe
"menu" for tomorrow night, though
there may be more good things added
to it before time.to. "serve."
The price of admission is but 155
and 25c—little enough when we consider how faithfully ind often the
boys give'of their talent for the pleasure and edification of all our people,
town and country^ throughout the
year.. Let's all. go. -Will you be
present? . We thought so. So will all
your neighbors and.friends. -,

A Proclamation by the Governor.  •
We often speak of inalienable rights,
among which are "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness." Liberty
arid happiness will follow if we put the
emphasis on life. For centuries man
has sought happiness and ignored the
essentials of life, attributing to Providence physical suffering and death.
Why not attribute physical vigor and
the joy of good health to Providence?
The ravages of the "White Plague"
are. appalling. Hardly a family in
Michigan, hardly a family in the United
States that has not suffered directly or
indirectly from the plague.
Cleanliness in birth, cleanliness in
person, cleanliness in the use of air,
water, food,- clothing, shelter, work,
thought and purpose make for- godliness. * -
Teach and train all of the people to
think less of physical sins; teach and
train all of the people to think more
and know more of the laws of health.
The industrial world is fast coming to
appreciate the tremendous value of all
sanitary agencies.. The right of an industry to- exist rests on the necessity
of conserving life, rests' on the necessity of enriching life physically, mentally and morally. -Physical righteousness exalteth a nation.
Therefore, I, Woodbridge 'N» Ferris,
Governor of the State of Michigan, urge
the observance of Sunday, November
the 29th, as Tuberculosis Day.

Are you helping to keep the chart indicator going up instead of down?
Miss Lucy Cobb gave a very'full and
interesting report of the State' Sabbath
School convention last Sunday. With
all these excellent advantages we
should gain a hew. inspiration in Sabbath school work. It is not always
members- that count for .success in
Sabbath school activities.-but the qual*
ity of the teaching, the spirit and devotion that leads souls ta Christ, and
builds character for time and eternity."
.   To catch the true spirit of Thanksgiving share your blessings with some
one less fortunate than yourself.
A thousand blessings, Lord to us,
Thou dost impart,
We ask one blessing more, Ob Lord—
A.thankful heart!
Beware of Cheap Substitutes.
In these days of keen' competition it
is important that the public should
see that'they get Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy aud not take substitutes sold
for the safte of extra profit. ■ Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has stood the
test and been approved for more than
forty years.1: Obtainable everywhere.   '
All stamped envelopes which are
spoiled by mistake committed in superscribing, will be redeemed by .the post-
office department at their stamp value.
Postage stamps damaged by sticking
together in warm or damp weather or
for other causes before using, may be
returned to the department and their
value exchanged for new stamps. All
redeemed envelopes and stamps are
sent by the. postmaster who redeems'
them to the department and records of
the same are kept. These .regulations
are,'we think, not generally known at
large, and .their publication may be
beneficial to a large" number of people.
