Of any industry can be.
The earliest foundation Of our
prosperity was production Of the
precious metals, and men in other

aided Denver in escaping the de-

communities in other parts Of the
country were subjected.
The scenic attractions of our
mountains have been advertised the

rural homes Of that part of the state.
No state can offer any greater At.
traction than that which Colorado
presents in its its agricultural lands,
and the facts concerning them should
BE- published to the world by every
one who may desire to promote both
the prosperity Of home seeking
friends in other parts Of the country
and the further growth Of this stat 9.

The Christmas Dinner

To successfully prepare and arrange the Christmas dinner, there must appear cer- tain dishes that it is impossible to elimi- nate from the genuinely American menu. The rich, brown, baked or roasted tur- key, an abundance of vegetables, de- licious salad mince, apple or pumpkin pie, or plum pudding, which is always associated with the Christmas dinner.
 This is somewhat different from the din- ner in ye olden time, when the piece de resistance was boar's head, and no Christ mas dinner was complete, or even started, without the same. This was set in the most prominent place at the table, with large pippin gracing his tusks and sweet rosemary and bay leaves assisting in the decoration. Then came roasted peacock with the beak glded, served with spices and herbs and pasted with the yolks of eggs. And only the fairest of the ladies present might serve this to the guests in turn, as the delicious portions fell from the knife of the carver. Geese, pheasants, carps tongues and a variety of dishes, even the names of which have been for gotten by this time, followed.
 Nowadays the turkey has the first place on the menu and with delicious cranberry sauce, scarcely a better or more palatable dish can be imagined.
 The Christmas plum pudding may be att tractively served In a .holy- -wreathed dish, but care must be taken that if brandy is burned over the pudding that the holly is not ignited.

Home Helps


 If when using lemon for favoring, you need only half one, put the other half on plate and cover with glass tumbler. This excludes the air and prevents it from drying up or getting moldy.
 If fat milk boil over on the kitchen stove salt thrown on it will keep down the smell. If hot greese be spilled on the table or floor cold water thrown on it will set it and prevent its sinking into the wood.
 Flower vases often overbalance when in use, for the flowers put into them are apt to make them top-heavy. This defect is easily remedied by putting bits of lead, shot or pebbles at the bottom of the vases.
 Do not use soap in cleaning marble ta- hle tops and mantels. It yellows them. Better results are had from washing with water softened with ammonia.

May charity, with loving hand, Fling wide her generous door, With blessings for each lowly one From out her ample store.
