ROAST GOOSE.

This is the time of year when our
;tonghts turn in longing toward the
t3othsome roast goose.
A goose, because of its fat should
be thoroughly scrubbed in hot soap
suds and thoroughly rinsed, then re-
move the inside contents. wash in cold
water and wipe. Stuff, truss, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and cook, breast
down, in the roasting pan. If roasted
breast up, cover the breast with strips
of bacon. which will keep it from be-
coming too dry.
Stuffine for Goose.-Two cups of
hot mashed potato, cup and a fourth
of bread crumbs, a fourth of a cup of
chopped salt pork, a finely chopped on
ion, a third of cup of butter, a we'll
of salt and teaspoonful of sage Mix
all together and stuff the goose.
Chestnut Stuffine.-Cook half ia
blespoonful of finely chopped shallot
with three tablespoonful of butter;
add fourth of a pound of sausage
meat. and cook two minutes. then add
twelve mushrooms, finely chopped, a
cup of chestnut PURGE (which Is chest
nuts cooked until tender and put
through a sieve). a half of table
spoonful of chopped parsley, and salt
and pepper to taste. Heat to the boil
ing point and add third of cup
of bread crumbs and twenty-four
whole chestnuts. Cool the mixture be-
fore stufling the goose.
Norwegian Goose Stuffng.-Pare
and quarter good-flavored apples, soak
and stone half pound of prunes; sea-
son the goose we'll internally with salt
and stuff with the apples and prunes
The proportion of apple to prunes is
two to one in quantity. One often
reads that this stuflng is not to be
served. but the real Norwegian con-
siders this stuffing most delicious, and
as It seasons the goose SO well, the
gravy is always favored with the
stuffing.

ancient Britain the evergreen had a distinctive
place with ivy. holly and mistletoe. me Druius
believed that the evergreens sheltered the soou

There is a Scandinavian myth that tells of the

The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows tiresome
One of the sources of rheumatism Is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-

larly, digestion is made strong, the

PORK, A WINTER MEAT.

During the cold winter months our
warm, and pork, then, has its innings.
Little pigs from four to six weeks old
are the piece de resistance for many
epicures.
Pork, containing such a large per
cent. of fat. is a valuable food for
body heat though it is hard of diges-
ton.
Pork Chops-Pork chops. when well
cooked, are a most popular meat, but
dried and tasteless. as they are more
than often served, most unsatisfac-
tory.
Place the chops in the frying pan
bottom of the pan: parboil uncovered
until the water has evaporated, then
the chops will quickly brown. Sea-
son and serve juicy chop well done
without being cooked to a crisp.
Cored, unpeeled apples fried in the
remaining fat, sprinkled with a little
sugar to give them n color. make a
nice garnish for the platter of pork
chops. :
Barbecued Ham.-Soak thin slices
of ham an hour in lukewarm water;
drain, wipe and cook in hot frying
pan, until slightly Drowned. Remove
to the platter and add to the fat in the
pan three tablespoonfuls OF vinegar

dashes of paprika. When thoroughly
