which are being fattened up for the great
feast Innumerable causes are already be-
ing ferreted out Of the past for express
ing thankfulness by consuming largo
quantities Of turkey. pumpkin pie, cram
berry sauce and the other hxings that
make up the Thanksgiving dinner
The housewives have been early in in
quiring about the prospects for the
Thanksgiving turkey, and while the birds
are scarce IN market now and. at tho
same time. high in price. they are. ac-
cording 10 dealers. going to be plentiful
Along with this report comes the good
news that they viii be Of prime quality.
Strange as it may seem, the good quality
OF the turkeys this year was caused by
the expensive lesson which tho deal
ers were taught last year. when they tried
to corner the market IN tho Western
States and then dumped the birds by the
carloads in declining market. There are
few cold storage turkeys this year. as
most all the turkeys Will be OF the past

ever used this simple wash and did not

soothing, calm, cool sensation that
comes when the itch is taken away. In
stantly upon applying a few drops OF
the wash the remedy takes effect. the
itch is allayed. There is no need OF
