THANKSGIVING
The time has come again for the

a turkey, and the giving of thanka
for the strength to chew the same.
It does not seem like a year since
last Thanksgiving. Time is travelling
in a V-B.

While the blessings have not come

Believe it or not, the answer to that query, from an anonym
ous correspondent is
"Not much. Certainly for the man out of a job with a
family to support, there is neither Joy nor reality in this
Thanksgiving."
Kof Well let's stop a moment and think it over. And while
we are thinking it over, let's read our history for the past two
hundred years.
What was the lot of the common man in France during the
gay and gilded reign of Louis XV! Ag Henry M. Robinson
recently pointed out in his article "No time like the present
La Bruyere gives a realistic description
"Scattered about the country one sees certain animals, male '
and female: they ara black, livid and baked In the sun, and they
are attached to the soli which-they dig, by almost Invisible
chains. They retire at night Into dens where they live on
black bread, water and roots."
Or glance over your Voltaire:
"The French peasant of Rousseau's day was a cross between
a rodent and a beast of burden, 38 separate taxes payable to
landlord, clergy and crown crushed him flat upon the earth, yet
he dared not Improve his sod hut or buy a runty pig, lest he
be penalized by a still heavier tax. But taxes were not his only
bane. After he had scraped his half acre of lifeless soil with
rude tools, and sowed a few miserable grains of corn, his harvest
was Invariably trampled by a party of nobles dashing across It
In pursuit of a hare? The peasant was not permitted to shoot
or trap the deer and rabbits that foraged among hla crops; these
animals were the sacred property of the noblea and death was
the penalty If a starving peasant killed a rabbit and popped him
Into an empty pot."
t
But THAT was in decadent
about Merry England, under a
century later, AFTER the French revolution, and AFTER the
Duke of Wellington had driven
we quote:
"In the city of Leeds, 30.000 people live In rat-Infested cellars,
unprovided with water, heat, light or sewers. A dozen people

TOOTHING to be thankful fori Just glance back over the
A ' page of history a hundred years, and it seems to the pres
ent writer that we as a people have a great deal to be thankful
for. As Mr. Robinson concludes: " .
"For all Its chaflnga and Imperfections, our age la superior
In security, comfort, leisure and economic reward, to any other
period or condition of life that ever existed In this sweating,
tear-drenched world." '
But this doesn't bring a job to the man willing and eager to
work who can't find it; nor does it provide food and shelter for
his wife and children. . ' ,
But what are we as a people DOING, what is the government
DOING, the government that in another civilized country only
about 150 years ago when informed the people had no bread, in
fact were starving, replied : "Let them eat cake !"
TPHE government is providing food and shelter,, not only in
direct charity, but by providing work ,to the needy at good
pay. The people as a whole, fortunate enough to have what
they need to eat and wear, are giving until it hurts to supply
those Iprs fortunate. In this supreme crisis the entire country,
its government and its people, is

than it was 8 or 10 months ago. One does not have to be soft

may be ups and downs, conditions WILL get steadily better.
THERE aro still many abuses, many imperfections, much to
be done in the way of human betterment, particularly in

ties, but all in all, we maintain this is a pretty good world we

Constant ipr&y or a full bath wltb
tannic acid solution la one of the
most effective methods of treating
W0ltltm burn. In report
ing ma laDorious
technic of the
method, for ex
tensive burns, Dr.
Ronald B. Wells
of Hartford says:
"I have not had
to resort to skin
grafting In a sin
gle scald treated
by this method.
and I am ln
clined to believe
that the reeplthellzatlon In every dif
fuse superficial burn may be more
nearly perfect and leave leas scarring
when It Is developed under the pro
tection of an aseptic tan than when
It Is promoted from any form of a
skin graft."
The achieving of an aseptic tan for
the purpose Is a task that demands
the untiring care and skilled atten
tion of doctor and nurje. The ex
tensively burned or scalded patient
Is put Immediately Into a large tub
of tannic acid solution, enough tan
nic acid In the water to make It mud
dy In color. Tannic acid la cheap
and a great quantity Is kept on hand
for emergency treatment of burns.
The temperature of the bath Is regu
lated to suit the patient's comfort,
Fresh water Is run In and the solu
tlon drained out continuously, more
tannic acid being added from time
to time. ' Usually the patient experi
ences so much relief that he freely
co-operates with doctor and nurse for
the rest of the treatment.
Once the tannic acid bath has given
this primary relief loose tags of burn
ed skin are cut away with scissors and
thumb forceps. Tops of blisters are
trimmed or wiped off with sterile
gauze. Unburned areas right up to
the margin of burn are gently, but
thoroughly scrubbed with soap and
water. When the tub becomes grossly
fouled It Is drained, quickly cleaned
and filled with fresh tannic acid so
lution. .This mechanical cleansing
Is kept up as long as necessary It
Is back-breaking work for nurse and
dog tor for a good three hours per
haps. The objective Is mechanical
cleansing of not only burned area,
but of the entire skin surface, by
which cleansing disease germs and
the dead or dying ttsues they live on
have been comoletely eliminated.
The bath facilitates the removal of
clothing, conserves body heat, com

Comment
on the
Day's News.
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE Is a statement, made recent
ly by a large Eastern publisher,
Wihlch all business men will find In
teresting: "Prosperity la being retarded by
almost absolute prostration of the
capital goods industries, which make
the machinery and other equipment
used In Industry."
fiAFITAL goods Industry" la one
V of those high-sounding terms
that people use when they want to:
Impress other people with the extent
of their knowledge.
The trouble wit,"i these terms Is
that they go over the heads of com
mon, ordinary people, such as most
of us are. leaving us puzzled as to
Just what Is meant.
So let's see If we can get an under
standing of Just what this "capital
goods Industry" is.
IF YOU work In a sawmill, you know
that tt contains machinery. Like
wise with a creamery, or a cannery
any sort of factory, in reality. Or
with a newspaper, which to about
half manufacturing enterprise.
This machinery la known aa capi
tal goods, and the concerns that
make It are known aa capital goods
industries.
Manufacturers Including sawmills,
creameries, canneries, . newspapers,
etc. aren't buying new machinery to
any considerable extent right now,
so the Industries that make this ma
chinery are in a bad way
WHY aren't manufacturers buying
new machinery? Ia It because
they don't need it?
We can hardly believe that when
we hear from competent authorities
that at least .half of the machinery
used In. American Industry today is
OBSOLETE.
Obsolete, you know, is another of
these big words, meaning "out of
date." With half of Its equipment
out of date, It can hardly be said
that Industry is not in need of new
machinery.
SO WE get back to the question:
Why aren't manufacturers buy
ing new machinery?
Here Is one answer: Because they
can't get the money.
WHY can't theyget the money?
Well, one of the principal rea
sons Is that those who HAVE money
1 nc woria nung on weir woras, ig
are afraid to lend it because they
don't know what kind of money they
will be PAID BACK WITH,
IF WS are going to have Inflation,
let's have It. If we aren't going
to have Inflation, let'a KNOW It.
Let's inspire confidence In the
future, ao that business men can
again make commitments with reasonable-
assurance that they will be
able to carry them out.
Until that la brought about, we
can't have prosperity.
THIS same Eastern publisher saye:
"Industrial organizations should
gear their ADVERTISING of capital
goods to MODERNIZATION, because
that is the only outlet trhat the
manufacturer of equipment will have
In this country for the next few
years."
