sTUFFING FOR THE TURKEY
Several Mixtures Preferred by Diff
ferent People and How They
Are Made.

A fresh killed turkey Is so delicate in
flavor that stuffing does not enhance, but
detracts from the palatability Of the bird.
writes an authority on cookery.
However, stuffing is almost universally
used, as 1t not only keeps the bird in
proper shape. but is liked by nearly every
one. The variety Of stuffing depends upon
the locality, the old-fashioned New Eng
land stuffing of sage and onions being
most popular.
Oyster stuffing and chestnut stuffing are
also used. and occasionally a celery stuff
fling is employed; but this is rot TO be ad-
vised. as celery always creates a some-
VIA acrid flavor. which should be
avoided.
swedes make a special stuffing in which
raisins and walnut meats are incorpor-
ated with other ingredients. This is es-
teemed a great delicacy by them. although
the average American would find 1t far
from his liking.
Peanut stuffing and potato stuffing are
also used in various localities. but the
sage and onion come nearest gastronomic
perfection OF them all.
Roast turkey is more apt TO retain its
original delicacy OF flavor than boiled tur-
key, the flavor of which is withdrawn
into the stock. Boiled turkey. therefore,
is vastly improved. by the flavor Of celery,
oyster and salt pork.
Many families defy custom and serve
boiled turkey for their Christmas dinner
with turkey or giblet soup as a first course
made from the stock in which it was
boiled.
Here is a recipc for stuffed turkey neck
which is not comm only known. The neck
is cut off close TO the body and the head
is severed close to the other end. The
loose skin of the neck is drawn back,
turned inside out and leaned and freed
from membranes.
Thu giblets in the meantime have been
fried with onions In butter and a %stuffing
is made in which these are incorporated
The skin OF the neck is then stuffed like
Q sausage, tied with a string at the end
end roasted In the pan with the turkey.
For chestnut stuffing for turkey take one
teacup OF mashed sweet potatoes. one tea
cup of mashed and boiled chestnuts. one
6esertspoon Of butter, one wineglassful OF
cream. and salt and black pepper to taste
rdix the potatoes, chestnuts. cream and
season. Put stuffing in when turkey is
half roasted. Basic frequently.
During the last ten or fifteen years
other nations have adopted and taken to
raising the turkey.
And the American taste has changed, for
irstead Of waiting for the turkey to ma.

on the menus of nearly every first-class

WATER RATE CASE THURSDAY

cONGDoN AND WEBSTER DISAGREE
Former Believes Board Has No RiRht
20 Advise as 20 Paying Bills,
which Involves Possibility
of Contempt.

Despite protestations from the officials
OF the Omaha Water company. who wanted
the case postponed until after the holt
days. the hearing on the injunction asked
by the company TO restrain the Omaha
Water board from putting into effect its
new schedule Of rates and from interfering
with the company. will come up for hear
ing in federal court Thursday morning.
This is the date originally set.
The company wished a later date set. for
the reason that Genera, Counsel Mansfield
Is expected to be present when IT is tried
and he did not want to be away from
his New York home Christmas. Over
lures we're made by the board TO post
pone the hearing and the board made a
return proposition in the form of a legal
document drawn up by Isaac e. Congdon,
member of the board. This document pro-
vided that in the event the hearing was
postponed. consumers of water were TO
have ten days from the date a decision was
rendered on the injunction, and that they
should be entitled to the 5 per cent re-
bate at that time, no matter whether the
Injunction was granted or not. The com
pany would not agree TO this and the
case has therefore been called for Thursday
morning before Judge w. II. Munger of the
federal court.
Board Lawyers
Mr.. Congdon, the attorney on the board,
and John L. Webster, the attorney for
the board, hold different views as to the
scope of ths temporary restraining order
granted late Monday afternoon. Mi. Web
ster believes the restraining order merely
contemplates the prevention Of putting into
effect the new rates adopted by the board
on october "A, last. He said he told the
board members they had better be on the
safe side and therefore advised them not
to intercept consumers on their way to
the office of the water company and give
them Information regarding the new rates,
as was decided by the board in the Satur-
day evening session.
THE board members or their employees
can do what they please in their office
in the city hall. however" said Mr.. Web
ster. And If a consumer comes TO them
there and asks for information regarding
the new rate, 1 see no reason why an
| answer cannot be given. / do not construe
this to be interference with the Oman
Water company"
Mr.. Congdon holds different, and believes
that the board has not the right at present,
under the temporary restraining order, to
give information as to rates. II he is
| correct. then Secretary Koenig of the
board and two other employees, who spent
Tuesday and Wednesday in the boards
office in the city hall giving information
to consumers and figuring on the back OF
their bills what they should pay under the
new rates are said to be liable for con-
tempt of court.
Tuesday was a busy day in the boards
office. but on Wednesday only a few
called to inquire as to the difference be
tween the present rates and those adopted
by the board two months ago and ordered
to go into effect on January /, 1903.
