WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-With
turkeys soaring around thirty cents a
pound and cranberry sauce making
new records in altitude, what's the
best available THANKSGIVING dinner
for a poor man?
This question today was asked DR..
R. e. Doolittle, the governments
pure food chief. Here is his answer:
Vegetable soup; rump steak and
Drowned potatoes; bread and thick
brown gravy; side dishes of cabbage,
carrots. turnips and beans; appie
sauce, pumpkin pie and coffee.
'tThis Thanksgiving meal ought to
provide sufficient nourishment and a
comfortable telling inside to family
of five and yet leave enough for the
careful housewife to scrape up q
plenteous supper" said DIR. Doolittle.
IF she is extraordinarily economical.
and her family doesn't gorge. there
ought to be enough sleavin's' for a
breakfast hash.
"The menu I have indicated is In
Ifinitely more nourishing than the
average meal in which turkey fig
ures," the chief chemist continued.
"The soup, of course would be
served first. This part OF the meal
would be practically the by-products
of the meal, vegetables and the flour
used to make the bread. 1t will pre-
pare the stomach for the heavier food
by stimulating the flow of digestive
| juices.
'TThen will come the meat, Drowned
potatoes, the four vegetable dishes
with apple sauce. bread and thick
brown gravy The gravy must take
the place of butter and the apple
sauce the proverbial cranberry in this
poor mans meal.
For desert pumpkin pie and cof
fee will finish a repast far more nu-
| tritious and generally beneficial than
| the usual kind of Thanksgiving din.
ner. 1t Is wholesome and the best of
| food"
The chief chemist also outlined
some don'ts for those who eat turkey
and have plenty Here they are:
Be moderate; don't lie around the
house; take long walk before din
ner; eat slowly and chew the food
slowly; don't eat more than one piece
OF mince pie, and take long walk
after dinner.

cONSTANTINOPLE, Nov 27.-
Nazim Pasha, the Turkish comman-
tsr.in-chief, and representative in the
peace negotiations with Bulgaria, to-
day rejected the Bulgarian ofrer ano
submitted contemporaries, which
General Savoff Of Bulgaria said would
Ebe fully considered.
The prospects of an agreement
we're not considered very bright here,
but that General Savoff should even
have accepted a counteroffer from
The Turks was deemed at least fav.
[orable symptom.
II was understood that Bulgaria
would have left Turkey practically
nothing in Europe except Constants
nople and nominal suzerainty over
Albania, and that Turkey does not
contemplate yielding more than AL
bantam autonomy and a ribbon Of ter
ritory along the Bulgarian boundary.

LAKE STREET PLAYGROUND
 TO BE GRADED AT ONCE
Officials Look it Over and Will Have It Ready by July s-Mcre Assistants Needed

Wednesday afternoon, President J. B. Stanton and Director A. c. Pease of the Norwich Playground associa- tion, with M. H. Hourigan, chairman of the public works committee, and Street Commissioner E. c. Lillibr1dge visited the Lake street property where the playgrounds for the center of the city will be laid out. The plot was looked over and work is to be started on the grading of the lot at once, so that it will be ready for use by the eighth of July. when the backgrounds will be opened. The $500 apprOpria- ton made by the city will be used in leveling off the center for the baseball diamond and arranging the south end for the other games. No trees can be set out now and probably none will be secured from the present appropriation.
 There was a meeting of the execu- tive committee of the association on Wednesday afternoon, at which time several more assistants were named as follows: Miss Catherine Coughlin, Miss Teresa Coughlin, Miss Mary Ma lone, Miss Nellie r. Ahearn, Miss Elm ma Shereshevsl1y, Miss Nina Perry, Mrs. A. c. Pease and Mrs. Elizabeth G. Danihy, they being elected in the order in which the applications have been received. All have not been chos- en, as opportunity for a few more to be chosen remains.
 The assistants will serve from two to eight weeks and will be on the play grounds from 1.30 to 5.30 every week day afternoon. Director Pease will make his rounds of the city, visiting the half-do grounds In the morn ing it is expected that leaders who will be selected, will be in charge. Thus far twelve assistants have been named.
 Director Peace has been ordering the apparatus and supplies for all the grounds and they will be ready for the opening day. A friend of the associa- tion has donated three seesaws. to be used in addition to the others, making two for each grounds. Contributions are steadily being received by the as- sociation but all are welcomed.
 There will be swings, seesaws, quoits and. sandboxes on all the grounds. In addition, the Lake and Pearl street grounds will have volley ball, while nearly all will have indoor baseball outfits. There will be two slides for the Lake and Pearl street grounds while the Lake street grounds permit the baseball diamond.

which preserved his majesty's life. The kings manner changed at once, and he called the celenists "a parcel of honest degs.'
 Nine years after Maryland establish ed a mint, but nothing is known of it's history. Even before this Virginia thought 1t wise to have a coinage, but did nothing to bring 1t to pass, and records show no other attempts until after the revolution.
 Coins from the Metssr Country.
 At different times efforts were made by England to provide coins. Lord Baltimore had some made and sent to two of the colonies. William and Mary's reign saw the making of copper coins for New England and Carolina George l. attempted to send over coins of Bath metal, and Queen Anne fixed the rates of Spanish and other foreign coins for the colonies.
 There came a time when the colon ies were so desperately in need that they resorted to the making of paper money. In 1890 Massachusetts set the example. This crisis was occasione6 by sending an expedition against Que bee which failed, and Massachusetts had to pay her soldiers.
 u6 IlI6I DEil6 Ol CE0UtL O1 NOIIIICCll- cue were also issued at a time ot financial embarrassment, and sooner or later all the colonies except Virginia followed. The term Contiental Money refers to the notes issued by the Con- tinental Congress at Philadelphia al the opening of the revolution. It ha: nothing to do with the paper currency issued by the colonies.
 Interesting Notices.
 It is interesting to study the designs and notices on these notes, for ever they show the strength of character of these leaders and their answering faith in their own cause. Each denom- ination had a different device an( motto. For instance, one dollar bil had an acanthus plant sprouting III around all sides of a basket that il placed on it and pressed down by weight The motto meant '"Thougl pressed down, it rises again" A tw' dollar bill had the figure of a hant with a fail over sheaves of wheat witl the motto, Affection enriches." three dolloar bill had Q combat be tween an eagle and crane, and tn motto. 'The end is in doubt" Such were the lessons which thes silent teachers carried to the people They were intended to excite patriot ism and inspire hope. During tn darkest days of the war notices Wer planned to encourage the people, sucl 1 as a huge oak tree with the words, "l | will flourish forever and ever"

 Arguments by Attorneys.
 Both sides rested at 1928, and Att torney McGuire for the plaintiff made the first argument, speaking about half an hour. He was followed by two lawyers of the defendant, Attorney Belcher speaking for about Is min utes and Attorney Tanner for nearly an hour.
 The concluding argument for the plaintiff was by Attorney Hull, who spoke for 45 minutes, and Judge Hol- combs charge to the Jury occupied 22 minutes. They retired to the jury room at 25 after having dinner.
 At 356 o'clock the jury brought in a verdict of $550 for the plaintiff, and Attorney Mcclure made his motion for an increase of the amount.
 Jury Discharged, Session Over.
 As this was the concluding case ot the sesson. the jury was thanked by Judge Holcomb, congratulated for its good work, and then discharged. Clerk Parsons paid them off before they de- parted for their homes.
