CAUSES FOlt THANKSGIVING. 
For all that God in mercy sends; 
For health and children, home and friends, 
For comfort in the time of need, 
For every kindly word and deed, 
For happy thoughts and holy talk, 
For guidance in our daily walk, 
For everything give thanks! 
For beauty in tills world of ours, 
For verdant grass, and lovely flowers, 
For songs of birds, for hum of bees, 
For the refreshing Summer breeze. 
For hill and plain, for streams and wood, 
For the great ocean’s mighty flood, 
For everything give thanks ! 
For the sweet sleep that comes at night, 
For the returning morning's light, 
For the bright sun that shines on high, 
For the stars glittering in the sky, 
For these and everything we see, 
O Lord, our hearts we lift to Thee, 
For everything give thanks!

Mere is a delicious honey filling for 
layer cake: Mix one-half cupful each 
of honey and sugar with two tablespoon¬ 
fuls of water; boil until it will spin a 
thread. Then remove from the fire and 
stir in the stiffly whipped white of an 
egg. Beat constantly until it cools, when 
it should be soft and thick like cream. 
Spread between the layers of cake and 
frost the top.

Perhaps we may get lonesome in the 
country, but we can make every bit of 
the landscape seem friendly to us. If 
you want to know what real unadul¬ 
terated, heart-breaking loneliness is, talk 
to some working girl making her own 
way in the city, who sees pleasure and 
gayety and “good times” around her 
every day, and she as much outside of 
them as if she were in Mars, studying 
this world’s doing through a telescope. 
So, when we reckon up Thanksgiving 
blessings, not the least of them are the 
homely things of everyday life which 
seem, until we lose them, too trivial for 
notice or for praise.

Canned Pumpkin. 
On page 884 O. II. B. asks for recipes 
for canning pumpkin. One was given, 
but I think my way so very good that I 
would like you to print it for her or 
anyone else who would like to try it. 
Stew pumpkin and sift. To each cup 
of pumpkin add two tablespoons mo¬ 
lasses, one-half cup sugar, one-quarter 
teaspoon ginger, one-quarter teaspoon 
cinnamon, one-quarter teaspoon salt. 
Stir constantly on stove for 10 or 15 
minutes, until all is cooked and very hot. 
Fill into fruit jars and seal. When 
wanted for use add eggs and milk. You 
will find it very nice. n. o. S. 
Hand block-printed chintz now of¬ 
fered among drapery fabrics is a revival 
of an old industry. This was formerly a 
village craft, the work of skilled artisans 
who designed the blocks and did the 
printing, and anyone possessing, among 
her heirlooms, bits of old English chintz 
of the Colonial period will understand 
how beautiful this work was. Some of 
the English print works have been col¬ 
lecting old blocks, one firm being said 
to have collected 10,000 blocks, dating 
from 1750, and many of these old pat¬ 
terns are being made. This block- 
printed chintz costs from 80 cents a yard 
up. The colors are absolutely fast, 
washing well. Block printing is also 
used by home decorators in place of 
stenciling, and blocks for this purpose 
are sold by dealers in “arts and crafts” 
supplies. Our own experience with 
stenciling has been very satisfactory; 
when the work is done in oil paints it 
washes perfectly.

A neat little apron with a bib is made 
from two squares, each 26J/> inches each 
way. A hem V/ 2 inch deep is turned all 
the way around both; then a little cor¬ 
ner is cut off one square, which makes 
a triangular pocket. The cut edge is 
gathered slightly into the band, which is 
finished with button and buttonhole. A 
circle nine inches in diameter is cut out 
of the center of the other square, and 
bound or hemmed neatly; the square is 
then joined to the band by one point, 
without gathering. A button hole is then 
worked in the opposite point. The 
wearer puts her head through the hole 
in the bib, buttons the band, and then 
buttons the corner of the bib to the 
same button on the band, and thus has 
a neat bib with points falling over the 
shoulders. The apron is handy to put 
on, and can often be made from a rem¬ 
nant of material, either flowered or plain.

There are a good many things in the 
world for us to be thankful for, and chief 
among them are those that seem of lit¬ 
tle real consequence. Many of the things 
that give us pleasure are non-essential, 
like the little plant we used to call 
“pover.ty-grass,” whose flowers make a 
sheet of gold over a deserted sand bank. 
It would be a sad dun-colored world if 
utility alone were to be considered. So 
if we are spending this Winter “back 
in the owl woods, on the never-dug-out- 
in-Winter, only-one-mail-a-day R. F. D. 
route,” as “Princess Flower Hat” says, 
let us be thankful that we have the ever- 
changing panorama of the Winter sky 
before us, and not a little two x four 
Home Canned Meat. 
Several inquiries have come to the 
Home Economics Department of the 
North Dakota Agricultural College, Ex¬ 
tension Department, as to how to keep 
meat in the Summer without salting or 
pickling. Miss Hoover answered the let¬ 
ters to the effect that she did not know, 
but would let them know in the course 
of five or six weeks. She then had all 
of the students carry on an experiment. 
The students’ report is as follows: 
Washed jars thoroughly, packed meat 
in jars and added cold water to cover, 
pushing meat away from side of jar to 
permit water to get to bottom of jar 
and all around meat. Used one-half 
teaspoonful of salt to each pound of 
meat. Placed covers on jars—but bent 
clamps backward and forward a few 
times so as to make them more pliable, 
the steam thus being able to escape, kept 
the jars from breaking. Set jars on a 
rack (tin pail cover with holes punched 
in it) on the bottom of the kettle. 
Poured on cold water up to neck of jars, 
brought it to boiling temperature and 
kept boiling for three hours, removed 
jars, put on an extra clamp on each 
jar, let stand for 24 hours and removed 
clamps, pulled covers to see if it would 
come off. Repeated this for 10 mornings 
in succession. At the end of five weeks 
some of the jars were opened. The 
meat was as fresh as when put into the 
jars, had a very fine flavor. So this is 
the answer to the letters in regard to 
keeping meat in the Summer time with¬ 
out ice, salting or pickling.

shows how the 
Sterling Broiler 
rests evenly over 
thefire. You 
first lift up the 
entire end of the 
top, with the 
handy lifting key plate. Does away 
with opening the broiling door and 
poking the broiler over soot and ashes 
to the fire, only to burn the meat 
and broil it unevenly. Then see below 
how easily the meat slides out onto 
the plate—because the broiler opens 
frontward not back ward. This is 
only one of 20 superior features of the 
ANGE 
which is best for all broiling, baking, roasting, cooking of every kind, and heating 
water in the ample reservoir. Starting with a cold stove, you can get a hot, even 
fire in 20 minutes with the Sterling.
