There were other Thanksgiving stories re-

great deal to say about the turkeys he rais

no turkey has such a flavor as the turkeys
that are fed on doughnuts and pork and
beans exclusively. and are stuffed with oys-
tiers before roasting.
Congressman Wilson of Washington took
exception to this. The turkeys on Puget

Edward Everett Hale.


have just received letter from
Edward Everett Hale giving me several
references for opinions of his upon this SUBJ
ject. He says in one of them:
1.-THE business of health for a literary
man seems to me to depend largely
upon sleep. That means the brain should
not be excited or even worked hard for six
hours before bed time. The evening occupa-
ton should be light and pleasant as music.
a novel, reading aloud, conversation, the
theater or watching the stars from the nj
azza. OF course different men make and
need different rules. l take nine hours for
sleep and do not object to ten. l think
three hours is enough daily desk work for
a man of letters / dislike early rising as
much as any man, nor do / believe that
there is any moral merit in it, as the chill
dren's books pretend. But to secure an un-
broken hour or even less like to be at INV
desk before breakfast, as long before as
possible. l have cup of coffee and a soda
biscuit brought me there, and in the thirty
to sixty minutes which follow before
breakfast, 1 like to start the work of the
day.
1 believe in breakfast very thoroughly and
in having a good breakfast / have lived in
Paris a month at time and detest the
French practice of substituting for break
fast a cup of coffee, with or without an
egg. There is no harm in spending an hour
at breakfast. After breakfast do not go
back to work for an hour. Walk out in the
garden, lie on your back on the sofa and
read In general, loaf for an hour and
then bid the servants keep out everybody
