How the Good Housewife Prepared
1t In OIden Times.

Thanksgiving dinner in the olden
times made unusual demands even up
on the most efficient housewife, and the
serving Of dinner to a family party
Of from twenty-five to fifty persons in
large kitchen Of the old fashioned
farmhouse was no light task for the
mistress. But the result was worth all
the trouble entailed in the getting up
Of such a dinner, and the recollection
Of the roast turkey, chicken pie, baked
Indian and rice puddings, pumpkin and
mince pies baked in the old fashioned
brick oven, with the other accessories
of the Thanksgiving dinner, has proved
powerful enough to bring back year
after year to such hOmesteadat the sons
and daughters, the grandchildren, the
aunts, uncles and cousins who had gone
forth from it to enter into the larger
life of the great cities. The brick oven
has practically disappeared, but the
culinary skill Of the New England
housewife has not, and Thanksgiving
dinner is much the same as Of old.
Even city folks who prefer a course
dinner 364 days in the year really well
come a return on Thanksgiving to the
older style Of serving dinner and it is
this way which generally prevails on
this day.

MIR. Turkeys First Appearance

The real origin Of Thanksgiving as
day specially set apart for prayer
and rejoicing must be attributed to
Governor Bradford, the first governor
of Massachusetts colony. In gratitude
for the plenteous harvest in 1921, fol-
lowing upon a period of great depres-
sion, he proclaimed a day of thanks
giving to be observed on Dec. 13 (old
style of that year. Four men were
sent out in search of game They re
turned loaded down with wild tur-
keys. Thus did the great American
bird make his first appearance.

Boiled Sweet Potatoes Slaw.
Chicken Salad. Celery and Grated Cheese.
Hot Crisped Crackers.
Pumpkin Pie Fresh Fruit
Coffee.
Turkey without stuffing is an inno-
vation slow to win the approval of CON
servative housewives, but it is claimed
by the best authorities on cookery that
turkey like game, should never be
stuffed If it's finest flavor is to be pre-
served. Dress as usual and place a
large spoonful of butter upon the
breast. Put in very hot oven for
thirty minutes that the outside may
scar over at once and retain the juice.
Diminish the heat and baste often with
the butter and fat that cooks from the
fowl, allowing twenty minutes cooking
to each pound Of turkey, not counting
the first half hour. Should it be neces-
sary to turn the turkey while cooking
use towel. Never stick it with fork
or allow the juice to escape. Sprinkle
with salt when nearly done.
For the gravy put the gizzard, heart
and liver on the fire in a quart Of wa
ter and cook until tender; then rem I'VE
and chop finely. When the turkey is
done, remove it to the serving dish,
pour all but a tablespoonful Of fat from
the pan, add a tablespoonful Of flour
and cook for three minutes; then add
the water in which the giblets were
cooked, of which there should be a
pint. If less, add water, stir until
smooth and add the chopped giblets.
Serve in a gravy boat.

NEW-YEAR OVERFLOW.
Revival of an Old Custom-ChOosina
=, King md Ouecn of Festivities.

Revival OF an Old ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
King and Queen of Festivities.
The old custom of celebrating
Twelfth night Gan. - is again being
revived and makes n pleasing novelty
In the way of entertainments for the
New Year, says the New York Post.
AS this is the festival of the bean
king beans should be largely used in
the decorations. In the dining room
fcstoons of them might hang from the
chandelier to the table. To use the lit
tie white beans they should first be
soaked in water overnight, strung while
wet, using fine needle. then put away
for day, when they will agaiNbecome
dry and hard. The supper may be sim
pie or elaborate. as the hostess wishes,
but the table should be lighted with
candles and the Twelfth cake giNn the
most conspicuous place. TO avoid con-
fusion have the cake iced in two colors,
white and'pink or white and chocolate,
the men taking the slices of one color.
the ladies of the other. When baking
the cake, place a bean in one side and
n pea in the other. Stick straw in
beside each one, tying colorcd thread
around one straw so that no mistakes
will be made. The man who finds the
bean in his piece of cake will be the
king, while the queen will be the lady
who holds the pea.
After supper mock court Is held,
when the king and queen receive the
homage of the company. At one end
of the room have a platform on which
are two chairs. Here the king and
queen must be crowned with appropri-
ate ceremony, placing upon their heads
crowns of cardboard covered with gilt
paper and having beads and spangles
sewcd on. Very effective additions are
long capcs of muslin trimmed with
broad borders of crmine Canton fan
mel marked with black paint. The
king should also hold a scepter. which
can be q short, round stick or cane coy
cred with gilt paper.
When the coronation is over and the
king and queen are seated upon their
throne. the court should be presented.
Previous to this each guest should be
given card showing who he is to i'm
personate. Each card. cut and painted
to represent a bean. bears the name of
Il historical or fictitious character or,
what is more interesting, that of some
celebrity of the present day. The her
aid, with great flourish of his trum-
pet, will call out the name, with brief
introduction. Social representations
will greatly add to the merriment.
The cards designating the places at
the supper table might be painted with
n cake, a row of candles or a string of
peas and beans.

MUNICIPAL PROGRESS.
American City Governments Are Not
So EVIL as Reported.


The large proportion of our popula-
ton which live in urban communities
makes it necessary that if our political
development is to be satisfactory, says
The International Monthly, urban con-
ditionS must be very much improved.
What has been said must not be I'M
derstoOd as belittlinG the progress
which has already been made in the
Improvement of urban conditions. No
greater mistake can be made than to
exaggerate the evil conditions which
exist in American cities. The progress
that has already been made is very
great
Fifty years ago efficient police pro-
lection was almost unknown. Few If
any of our cities had ample supplies Of
potable water No effective provision
was made for cleaning the streets or
for taking away the debris Occasiencd
by the cXigcncicS of urban life. The
pavements of our cities were generally
wrctchcd in character, and the means
of transportation offered to the urban
population was altogether inadequate.
Much of the Improvement that has
been made in these reports within the
last half century has been due, of
course, to the development of scientific
methods. but the Improvement which
has actually taken place would not
have been possible had our city gov
ernmcnts been as bad as they have
sometimes been represented.

Better Service Since the City OPer-
atcs the Traction Lines.
Since Glasgow took over the tram
ways in 1894 the cars have been kept
we'll painted. well cleaned and well
lighted, says Municipal Affairs. Al
vertisements have been &anished, fur
Their improving the appearance of the
cars, although diminishing by many
thousands the revenue of the undertake
ing. The routes are painted conSpicu-
ously on the end and side boards and
the cars of the various routes can cas-
lily be distinguished Mt some distance
by their different cOlors. Standing in
the aiSles Is not permitted, and the cars
are run so frequently that one seldom
has to wait for the car he wishes. Fully
twice as many cars are now being
run by the city as were used by the
old company, although the track mile
age has been increased only slightly.
Routes passing through the heart OF
the city have been instituted.
All traffic employees, from conductor
to point boy, have been uniformed.
The horses are kept in excellent condi-
ton and one does not see the poor old
shacks which adorn the streets in some
cities. Further, horse traction will
soon be replaced by electricity. On
two lines the overhead trolley system
has been in operation some time; f.
third was opened last November, and
the electrical conversion of the entire
system is being proceeded with.

A Wing With a WaE.

A we'll known broker, who docs bust
ness near the corner of Broad and Chest
nut streets, has the odd faculty of being
able, whenever he desires. to wag his left
ear. This is not the usual little jerk due
to muscular contra ction, but is dclibcr-
ate and pronounced wag. The broker,
who is a persistent joker, manages to get
plenty of fun from his movable ear. The
other day he entered q restaurant and
gave his order to n nervous looking
waitress. When she returned with tray
laden with dishes, he spoke sharply and
drew her attention to him. Instantly his
ear began to wag, and the astonished girl
dropped the tray. dishes and all. on the
floor She could not be induced to re-
turn and finish her Observation-Disclosures

Livingston county is full of rail
road capitalists and mineral mag
mates. The railroad men are from
Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.. Newcomer,
of that city, is the promoter of the
proposed road. He has a large
corps of surveyors at work in Liv-
ingston county, The proposed
railroad is to start at Carrsville,
run through Livingston county to
Kuttawa, and fror. there into Ten
nessee. The Salem people are
very sanguine regarding the out
look.
Mineral men from Pittsburg are
securing a great deal of mining
territory; capitalists from Louis
vile are prospecting for oil in diff
ferent sections of the territory.
Everything indicates a boom for
Salem and Livingston county.
