thoughts turn in longing toward the
toothsome roast goose.

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.

Not Used to "Hiah Life"

An old farmer was in London visit
ing his son, who had got on in the
world, and who kept a large house,
servants, etc
When the two sat down to dinner
the first night a manservant waited
upon them, and was most assiduous
in his attentions to the old farmer.
After watching his antics for a bit the
guest exclaimed:
What the mischief are ye dancin'
about like that for? Can we not draw
in yer chair and sit down? I'm sure
there's enough here for the three OF
us."--London Mail.

PORK, A WINTER MEAT.

During the cold winter months our
bodies need more fuel to keep us
warm. and pork. then, has it's innings.
Little pigs from four to six weeks old

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.-Puk chops, when well
cooked, are most popular meat, but
dried and tasteless, as they are more

nrampsrInag with Government.

ampering' WIN government
Troubled newspapers of stand.pat
and bull moose procllvities express
hope that Mr. Wilson will not 'tamp-
er" with this, that, or the other
branch of public service.
The Journal hazards the opinion that
before the end of his term Mr.. VIII
son will "tamper" with pretty nearly
every department of public business.
Particularly will he "tamper' with
the work done by the amalgamated
association of political fixers during
the past eight years.
That is what Mr. Wilson was elect
ed for--to "tamper" with these things.
He was elected to "tamper" with the
tariff and crooked trusts, to "tamper'
with the influence of big business in
government and the influence Of priv.
ilege in the courts, to "tamDer" with
the whole scheme of pulls" that for
sixteen years has made the American
people outsiders in their own capital
The Taft and Roosevelt administra
tons were both on trial in the cam
paign Both men were seeking win
dication." Both were repudiated. The
people elected Mr. Wilson. They
gave him a commission to clean "
the evils which have gathered about
public service during the last ter
years or more, and especially durinl
the last two terms.

Push Sale CT Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al.
ready printed over 85,O0O,0O0 Red
Cross Christmas seals and probably
the edition will number 100000 600
before the end of the campaign. If
the anticipations OF the anti-tubercu-
losis workers are realized. no less
than 100000 will be obtained from
the sale of Red Cross seals. Practic.
ally all of the money remains in the
state or city where the seals are sold,
only a very small percentage of It is
going to pay for the cost of the print,
ing and distributing the seals and for
the expense of running the campaign.
In case any persons cannot obtain
seals in the community where they
live they can secure them by writing
to Red Cross Seal Headquarters, 715
Union Trust Building, Washington, D.

each and every seal sold is a bullet in
