According to French law, husband
and wife who have been once divorced,
and who, after due reflection, have
found out that they can do no better
for themselves, and have married each
other a second time, cannot be divorc-
ed again. Sixteen years ago a gentle
man who could not put up with the

separated, because she cannot use her
husbands name. She comes under
no category, being neither spinster,
wife, nor divorced, and she stands for
a class that may be termed the semi

To Kill and Dress a Turkey

The most common way of kill
ing turkeys is to hang them up
by their legs and stick them with
a knife in the mouth, making
one or two cuts diagonally across
the roof of the mouth, while
moving the point of the knife
forward from the edge of the
skull.
After sticking, the birds are
Drained by running the point of
the knife under the eye or into
the roof of the mouth in such a
way as to strike the inside Of the
skull directly between the eyes.
The knife may be slightly twisted
when the point reaches the
brain, the bird giving a charac-
teristic culver when properly
Drained, after which the feath-
ers pick easily.
The feathers are usually picked
in the following order: Flights,
main tail, back, sides, breast,
legs and thighs. Turkeys are
usually dry picked and shipped
undrawn to market. The long
