to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires constitu-
tlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the dis

No one admires newspaper illustrations;
it hand to believe that anyone buys
new spaper because of its Illustrations;
they are simply tolerated, with a shrug.
Some newspapers contain worse pictures
than others; but we do not think there
are in the United States of America any
worse ones tn can be seen in Boston.
Boston Transcript
While there are fairly good illustrations
in at least one of the Boston dailies we
think the Transcript somewhat sweeping
assertion will stand. 1t might well have
continued its criticism by applying equal
censure to the Typography Of many of the
Boston dailies. We do not believe that
the public appreciate badly executed and
unmeaning illustrations, or typographical
eccentricities, especially when they oc-
cupy space that should be filled with
news. The breaking over of matter
from one page to another is also a great
annoyance to readers. The New York
Herald occasionally makes fanciful use
of display type, but does not offend other

Boiled Turkey.

Many old fashioned cooks and some
Of the new fashioned consider that the
proper way to cook turkey is to toil
it. To do this SINCE, draw and wash the
turkey thoroughly, wipe with soft
cloth and rub the inside with salt. Make
stufing Of one quart Of bread crumbs,
a tablespoonful Of butter, salt, pepper
and chopped parsley and mix the in
gradients together with an egg. Fill the
breast Of the fowl with some Of this
stufiing and put the remainder into the
body. Tie the legs and wings close to
the body and place it in sailed boiling
water with the breast downward. Boil
rapidly the first half hour. then draw it
to the back Of the stove and cook slowly
until tender. Serve with celery or chest.
nut sauce. If oysters chopped are used
in the stuffing, serve with an oyster
sauce. An old fashioned custom was to
serve ham or smoked tongue with
boiled turkey. Exchange.

That is an impoverished soul which

Then, let us be glad before him and bless
his name.

When he arrived at the hospital he was
struggling like Il mailman to release
himself from the attendants, who had

was fairly blue with profanity. 1never
heard. man use such oaths before or

loss of his arm. saw at once that the
pain of his wound had made him crazy,
and, directing the attendant to lay him
on the operating table, soon had him
under the influence of an anaesthetic.
lie was very stubborn and it required
n good dea Of chloroform to quiet him,
and finally he succumbed and cut off
his arm. When he came to his senses
he scarcely seemed to realize what had
happened lie looked at me, then at
his arm. and finally 1t came to him that
his arm had been amputated and he
could fight no more for many n day.
With a sudden bound he leaped from
the table. and, selling carbine that
was lying on the ground near by, he
started on a run in the direction Of the
firing in front. He ran like deer for
a short distance, when the previous
loss OF blood told on him and he sud-
denly collapsed and fell to the earth.
He was picked up by the attendants,
brought back, placed in an ambulance
and started on the way to the rear.

wounded men.

Thanksgiving Bounty.

One Of the benign results Of the OBJ.
servance of Thanksgiving day is the en-.
couragement it gives to public benevo-
lence. While it is a day set apart for
the acknowledgment Of national, family
and personal blessings, every American
is taught from childhood that on this
day he must share the loaf, feed the
hungry and give ear to the cry Of dis
tress. The significance of the day is lost
to those who appropriate it solely for
personal qualification and selfish enjoy
ment. Exchange

In It'll, long before which time
Thanksgiving had become an annual
custom in New England, the customary
Thanksgiving proclamation Of Governor
Hutchinson met with very cold recep-

find little to be thankful for under the
British yoke. Most Of the Boston min
listers absolutely refused to read the
proclamation to their congregations
and several in the country also de-
clined. ST. Louis Post Dispatch.

COLONIAL oeLIcAcIEs.


Thanksgiving Dishes That Tickled the
PaIstcs Of Our ForefAthers.
In later days when the colonies had
inst finished the war Of the Revolution,
the Thanksgiving dinner was not con.
fined to consumption Of turkey. There
were other dainties considered to DO
finer than turkey. The royal roast goose
was a great favorite with the colonial
danes who prided themselves upon
their cookery.
Epicures Of the modern school all
know that the delicate favor Of the
prize canvssback duck Is due to the fact
that 1t feeds largely upon juniper ber-
ries, and the colonial ladies displayed
rare knowledge when they favored the
dressing Of the goose with these berriea
Another Thanksgiving dish highly
priced by colonial epicures was ham
baked in cider, and If the same delioacy
were prepared today it might make the
fortune Of some ambitious chef. This
ia the way 1t was done a hundred years
ago:
Wipe whole ham clean and put in
a baking pan, skin side down and over
the flesh side sprinkle one.half tea
spoonful each Of pepper. cloves and all.
spice and one.quarter Of teaspoonful Of
mace and cover all with o little onion
juice. Into the bottom Of the pan put
sprig Of celery, two bay leaves and a
slice Of onion. Put cup Of -four in
bowl and add sufficient water to make
q paste, cover the ham with the paste
a. far down as the skin and then turn
into the pan two quarts Of cider. Put
in a hot oven and cook for 81 hours,
basting every 10 minutes. When cooked,
take of the crust, turn over and take of
the skin and put in another pan with
the fat side up. Brush over with beat
en- egg, sprinkle with chopped parsley
and bread crumbs and bake in a hot
oven for one hour, when it will be ready
to serve. San Francisco Examiner.
