BEST WAY TO COOK TURKEY
Served With TURTLES. the Bird VIII
BE Found to Be More Delicious
Than Heretofore Supposed.

There are many ways OF roasting
turkey, but the following recipe Is one
OF the best. There Is no dish more
highly esteemed than a trufied tur-
key. Take one and one-half pounds OF
truffies for moderate sized bird and
two pounds for large one. When
fresh truffies are not to be had use
bottled ones. Cut about pound OF
the truffies into balls one and one-half
inches in diameter; pound the rest
with the trimmings to smooth PASTE
adding an equal weight of fat bacon;
the bacon should be rasped and pound
ed separately, then mixed with the
pounded trufles and the force meat
seasoned with salt and pepper only.
When the force meat Is quite smooth
mix the whole truffies with 1t and put
the preparation into the body OF q
freshly killed hen turkey. Let 1t hang
for Eve days after 1t Is stuffed, to al
low the perfume of the truffies to PEN
citrate the flesh; lay slice Of fat ba'
con upon the breast and q piece OF
buttered paper over that. and haste
literally. Turkey truffed is SO rich
that It is often served with no &C.
compartment in the way OF sauces.
Bread sauce is liked by some, but.
properly speaking. no rival flavor
should approach the trufiie.

|Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
It is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition Of the kidneys makes good
health or illhealth.
The kidneys are the filters ofsthe blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
GUS or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, If your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the besr-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form-
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind just make you feel, better all
over. sF
