turkey or chicken and shake it over a
clear fire until 1t is thoroughly hot.
The above proportions are calculated
for one turkey. 1t may be served with
two or more poached eggs. If there

grated, and add and equal weight Of
powdered sugar. Beat the whites of
four eggs to fro:h. and keep adding it
and beating it in with the cocoanut and
sugar until it forms q rather soft but
thick paste. Use q wooden spoon for
beating it. Drop small portions of this
paste upon wafer paper and bake in q

ort which arises when indigestible
,asses are put into it. Worry is a
ind of dyspepsia of the mind. As some
ne has said it is TO the brain what res
aurant pie Is to the stomach,
