There wfll be special music and the pastor will bring a message. This day is something more than a national holiday. It's a sacred obligation, which no God-fearing person can be unmindful of. Though there are reasons for sorrow and great concern in our day, there are much greater reasons for thanksgiving and praises unto God. As the noble Pilgrim Fathers on the bleak New England coast came together for special thanksgiving . to God, in days of great testings and trails, let us not forget to set apart this hour for this most worthy pur-: pose--that of rendering praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of "every goid and perfect gift". It was good and encouraging to see so many come out for Sunday Bible School last Sunday, Nov. 18, in spite of rather cold weather. There were also a number of new scholars. Again we extend an invitation to "whosoever will" for our services next Sunday, Nov. 25, at 10 a.m. (S. S.), 11 a.m. morning worship service and 7:45 p.m. evening evangel.

Hl'STWC SEASON A warning to hunters and others who handle wild game that tu-| laremia, or "rabbit fever", usually becomes more prevalent during the open season on rabbits has been issued by the state Departis highly contagious, and 75 to 100 cases are reported each year in Illinois. In 1939 an all-time high of 485 castle occurred! The main danger comes from contact with a diseased, animal or bird while skinning or cutting it up. Occasionally cases of tularemia develop from eating game that has not been well cooked. The department recommends the wearing of rubber gloves while preparing rabbits for the table, and thorough cooking, so that no red juice is left around the bones. . Palatal Feet ? ' Style frlays an important part in the appearance of the feet, but frequently blind adherence to the dicates of fashion is responsible for conditions causing painful feet. Women especially are more attentive to the neat, trim shoe that suggests daintiness or smartness than they are to the foot inside the shoe. It is only when the discomfort of aching feet, painful corns, callouses or bunions is intense that the victim is inclined to take stock and seek a remedy. Since arches do' not usually "fall" or "break" of themselves, it is reasonable to assume that external irritation is responsible. Many of the conditions causing such painful feet can be attributed to improperly fitting shoes or stockings, according to a health talk issued by the educational com* mittee of the Illinois State Medical society. On the other hand, arthritis frequently causes painful, feet, especially in older persons. Disturbances of the circulation may be responsible for foot pains and nerve inflammations.. Troublesome infection in the teeth, nasal sinuses and digestive tract may well be considered as internal derangements associated with some of these foot disorders. The condition "fallen arch" seems to occur most often In women and results from some injury to one of the main bones of the foot known as the astragalus. People who stand long hours are likely to be disturbed by painful feet due to continuous strain on the arches. In such cases the pain is the result of rigldit^ of the tissues and of spasm of the musics in their effort to overcome the strain. Since rest in bed is an economic impossibility in many instances, the proper padding of the shoes to change the strains may be comforting if supervised by a specialist One painful condition, referred to as "spurs" and resembling small callouses on the bone of the heel, is frequently alleviated by alternating each day a pair of shoes with different heel heights, thus removing the constant irritation caused by a rubbing shoe. Twenty-six joints exist among the bones in each foot from ankle to toe tip and since jointfe are purely mechanical methods of ehanging the direction, of force, they play a large part 4q tlte flexibility of the feet Since feet carry the weight of the body, posture plays an important part in the care of the feet Standing with the feet pointing outward, instead of' forward, causes undue strain on the ligaments connecting the fooc bones, especially on the inner side of the long arches. The resulting slight ache often grows to severe pain. To aid the circulation in the feet and thus relieve pain at night, which is frequently the case, the contrast bath is recommended. Two large pails to accomodate1 both feet are used, one holding hot water and the other cold water. Both feet should be placed in the warm water for one minute, then in the cold water for one Minute. This procedure should be followed for ten minutes. Massage a^d exercise are also helpful. LIBRARY LETTERS The Illinois State Historical library has just acquired a collection of letters written by and to Jesse B. Thomas, who was one of the first two U. 8. Senators from llliuois. The correspondence reveals details of a long-standing feud between Thomas and his senatorial colleague from Illinois, Niuian Edwards. While somewhat overlooked by history, Thomas was perhaps the most influential Illinoisan of his time, according to Dr. Harry E. Pratt, state historian. As a delegate to Congress from the Indiana Territory, he obtained the organization of Illinois Territory in 1809. He served as judge of the U. S. Court for the new territory, and presided over the convention which formed the constitution of Illinois in 1818.
