FOR THE CAREFUL CARVER.
His Success Largely Aided by Care
full TRUSTING

1t must be acknowledged that In
trusting is largely responsible for
careless carving.
Unless the cook does her part We
must not blame the carver IL she
misses the direction of the grain,
and tender meat becomes tough.
Meat and poultry retain the shape
after cooking If properly and cor
rectly trussed, whereas 1t is impossi-
BILE to shape meat after 1t Is cooked.
To truss turkey put the skin OF
the breast down toward the back,
making a plump breast, then fold
back the wings, taking a stitch
through one wing, then through the
skin of the back, and through the
other wing, making single tie.
In this way the wings are thrown
back, giving the carver an opportun-
ity to easily strike the joint. Put a
single stitch through the body be-
tween the ribs, then back through
the leg joint, and tie it on one side
to hold the legs in position.
Now run the needle through the
skin at the end of the legs. take a
stitch through the rump of the tur-
key tie at the side, holding the legs
down close to the breast. Three
stitches in all and the turkey Is
ready for cooking.
The principal part in carving a
turkey as with a goose, lies In the
number of slices that may be taken
from the breast
A skillful carver will cut twice as
many slices of smooth meat as nov
Ice. When carving a turkey place the
breast so that II will be on the left
size of the carver.
Elaborate garnishing, such as high
skewers, and masses of green, must
be removed before the carving as
they interfere with the movements
of the carver.
Insert the carving fork in the
small end of the breastbone, plung-
Ing it down so as to gain good COM
mand.
Pass the knife first around the
leg and remove 1t, then the wing.
first on one side, and then on the
other.
Carve the slices from each side OF
the breast using the knife fiat against
the breast and cutting from you,
then slip it underneath the wishbons
lift, press 1t backward and remove It,
Turn the turkey slightly so that
you may cut the shoulder blades
from the under side of the carcass
and from each side of the backbone
without removing the carving-fork.
Then cut directly through the ribs
up to the breastbone joint and turr
the turkey first one side and the-
the other, separating the back of thi
carcass from the breast.
Then, for the first time, remov;
the fork. Divide the upper from ths
lower part OF the back; cut down tn:

Then separate the second join
from the leg and cut 1t into three
slices, the leg into two, and 1t /:

One Thinq We Must Have.

We can live without food for thirty
days or more, we can live without
water for about seven days; we can
not live without air, however, for five
minutes.
Consequently as much or more at
tention should be paid to our water
and air supplies as to our food. There
should be vigilant inspection of school
rooms, factories, theatres, puI..c build
ings, &c, to insure perfect ventilation.
We spend about one-third of our
lives in bed. We must breathe regu-
larly, however, during our sojourn in
Sunderland and If we breathe pure
air all night, we viii certainly arise
in tie morning greatly refreshed.

HOW TO BUY AND WEAR SHOES
The Sole Should Never Be Narrower
Than the Foot.

OF great Importance in the toilet
Of the woman of fashion are the
shoes she wears. One thing that
fashion has decreed, with the ap-
proval of every woman of inherent
good taste, is that it Is positively bad
form to walk the streets with high
French heels, says the Boston Post.
For all out-of-door wear the Gu
ban heel is the correct thing. Nine
small. The reason for this is the
foot is considerably smaller when
she sits down than when she walks
about.
Exercise brings a larger quantity
of blood into the feet and they swell
appreciably. The muscles also re-
quire certain space for exercising. In
buying shoes women would find less
difficulty II they would stand up to
at them on, instead of sitting down.
Sitting in chair when fitting a shoe,
the shoe feels comfortable; then
when you walk you wonder what is
the matter with the shoe, IL cramps
your foot.
shoe should never be worn with
sole narrower than the outline OF
the foot (traced with a pencil close
under the rounding edge). Do not
wear shoe that will not allow the
great toe to lie in a straight line, or
one that pinches in the heel. Never
wear a shoe with the sole turning up
at the toes: this causes the cords on
the upper part of the foot to con-
tract; or one that has depression in
any part of the sole to drop any joint.
