WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR THANKSGIVING
DINNER WHEN THE TURKEYS ARE ALL GONE;

turkeys come high whom the populacs
must have them and tries to supply
the demand.
But in the matter Of turkey raising.
with sorrow be It said) the man
charged with the duty Of keeping US
supplied with the toothsome fowls does
not know as much as he does about
market prices. He gets the eggs and
the little turks. and there his success
stops. He lets the little turks, which
are tender creatures in their domestic
artificial environment. go out into the
damp grass and get their feet wei.
That's one main reason for the scarcity
OF turkeys-wet feet. It's Just a. bad
for a young turkey to get its feet wet
in damp. chilly a as the. same
procedure would be for a human baby.
Wet on h body Of the young turkey
is enough in many cases to kill him.
but wet feet are generally fatal. So
we should all beg the turkey raiser to
keep his young turkeys feet out Of wet
grass or supply them with overshoss
II we want to continue eating the
young turkeys grown to a proper siss.

says an authority. "They are i'm.
proper and overlooking. dampuess,
filth and lice" And the greatest Of
these is dampness, but the others are
bad enough. Another writer prints the
solemn warning: Don't turn the
small turks out in tho dewy grass. Its
sure death to them II you do"
Man. with his educated taste. dnds
roasted turkey meat most. dslectabla.
and the lower carnivora enjoy It raw.
In other words. the turkey has four
footed enemies as well az two, ~ have
all Of the feathered folk. Among the
foes are foxes. weasels and skunks. A
woman turkey grower In Jefferson
county, N. T., has found a way to fool
the varmints who like young turkey
meat, and her method 10 recommended
to those who raise turkeys near woods
and rocky lodges. This woman gives
her turkeys the run Of her farm. but
she ties bells around their necls.
She tested the plan all last year ana

borhpod. The bell is attached to Q
strap. which buckles about the turkeys
neck. The sound Of the bell scarss on
Br'er Fox and his accomplices. The
birds soon become accustomed to their
neckwear. Another factor which makes
the bells Of value is that the turkeys
can be located easily. as the tinkle Of
the bells can be heard at q consider.
able distance. She uses these bells on
the hen turkeys. and when the aocks
are full grown. as in tho TALL, the bells
on the mature fowls serve for the
flock.
America has no monopoly Of the tur.
key. It is essentially an American bird
and originated in the western hemi.
sphere. but Europeans coming to
American shores soon learned to ap.
p%reciate 1t. Now It Is me Of the most
popular and profitable kinds OF poultry
in many European countries. Within
recent years its consumption has in.
creased rapidly on the eastern side OF
the Atlantic. A recent writer says ho
found turkeys from the Atlantic to the
Black sea, from the Baltic to the
Adriatic.

The census bureau in Washington

1910 there were only 3.66s.708 turkeys

There was large attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Harriet E. Lynch, wife of Patrick J. Lynch, which was held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from her home on Town street. Rev. George H. Ewing read selections of scripture, reading as the closing se- lection a part of Psalm 45, The King Daughter is all Glorious Within. He said: This is a yelled promise that when the transition comes we shall be all glorious within. The work of our Heavenly Father is day by day to form within us perfect character. The one who has passed on grew in patience and power to endure until patience had its perfect work in her. The sufferings of this present life will be translated into the glory of the eternal life when we enter Heaven"

Johns Hopkins Surgeons Believe They Can Solve Old Problem with the Knife.

Baltimore, Aug. 12.-Surgeons of the Johns Hopkins hospital are planning a series of interesting experiments dur ing the coming term of the medical school for perfecting new treatment for Potts disease, commonly known as hunchback. If successful, the new theatment which will consist of sur gical operations, will eliminate the use of mechanical appliances, such as paster of paris jackets. braces, etc, and effect cures with the knife, in which the grating of bone will figure consptcuously.
 It is believed method of treatment which would absolutely eliminate mo- ton of the diseased vertebrae of spi- nal joints, of which there are nine pairs, and entirely relieve pressure on the affected bodies. would promise a rapid cure of the disease and pre- vent deformity.
 It is thought that in the spine, the careful removal of the periosteum of the psinous processes, transposed to bridge the gap between the veter- brae and with the gaps between the thin bone shield called laIninaae, also bridged by bone. will lead to the ex- tensive formation of bone, fusfng the vertebraa, A number of these oper- ations of this character have already proved successful to degree,

BREED THEATER,

A brilliant bill of motion pictures has been provided for the patrons of the Breed today. and it is headed by the daShing western story entitled A Western Courtship. It is a unique presentation of the old adage that true love ne'er runs smoothly" and is filled with the breezy atmosphere peculiar to the better class of western stories. Photograpfcally, it is perfect, and shows many of the beauty spots of the west.
 On the same bill with this splendid story is the marvellous Pathe Weekly, n1ad to the br1m aas usual with the most important events that are of in ternatfonal intereEt. This week it shows an unlimited variety of scenes, and Is strictly up to the minute.
 A strong dramatic offering of the Kalem company is entitled The Thief, and has a plot that is as unusual as it is Interesting.
 The programme is further embel- Hshed by the singing of MT. William Savage, baritone. who will be heard in the newest and best songs.
