properly masticated and swallowed re-
duces the eater to a condition of abso-
lutte contentment that enables him to
greet the man with the gas bill with a
pleasant smile without straining his
consciencei +.
That is the sort of bird that should
grace every table In the land this
Thanksgiving day. OF course 1t will
not be found in every family. for tur-
keys are expensive and times are hard,
but in these holiday times of good
cheer 1t is a poor sort of person who
cannot stretch his imagination far
enough to put a pair of wings on a
juicy beefsteak. If turkeys are beyond
the limits of the purse try something
else, be it a two ribbed roast or a
more modest lot of chops. Just be-
cause a fellow can't have a turkey is
no reason why he should be cross and
ugly, for if he just brings himself to
believe 1t a roast or a couple Of chops
are just as good as a turkey any day.
Try to be happy on Thanksgiving day,
even if the absence of turkey brings
on incipient spasms.

THE TURKEY IN HOTELS.
Two Chefs Give Their Methods of Pre-
pairing Thanksgiving Bird.
By G A. GUEST

That noble bird the turkey struts
alluringly before the vision of every
housewife in the country. Rene An
jard. chef at the Waldorf-Astoria, New
York. tells how he cooks the Waldorf
turkey in the "favorite American
way" as he puts 1t. He says:
Begin with the stufing. Soak suf-
fcient bread in milk and her strain
through a cloth. Mix in chopped ba-
con, onions, a small quantity of chop
ped eggs, sage, chopped parsley and
salt and pepper. This is the most gen
orally used stuffing. OF course the
turkey is cooked according to size. A
very large bird would take two hours
and a half. A medium sized bird
would take from an hour to two hours.
Lard should be poured on the upside
of the bird while it is cooking to pro-
duce a rich yellow color. Then there
is another stuffing that we prepare on
state occasions. This is a fancy stuff
ing, with finely chopped favored meat,
truffies and Madeira wine. These in
gradients are mixed with milk soaked
bread"
Auguste Bison, chef at the Hotel
Aston. gave the following Thanksgiv-
ing day recipe:
Bread soaked In milk and strained.
Mix In sausage meat, chopped cooked
chestnuts, a bit Of pork. sage and salt
and pepper. Every once in awhile
pour the gravy over the breast until
the desired color is attained. This
keeps the bird juicy"
Nevertheless these chefs declare the
old fashioned way is the best and that
probably American housewives know
more about the cooking of a turkey
than they do.

Tanner Thanksgiving dinners are not

mean to tell me hat you'd dare to give

The idea is outrageous"
Mr.. Tanner made no reply. For the
space of two minutes silence reigned
in the sitting room of the Tanner farm
house--a silence broken only by the
ticking of the clock and the 'drowsy
purring of the big Maltese cat as she
arched her back for the slow stroking
of her masters hand.
AT last Mrs. Skinner spoke with a de-
gree less than her usual assurance. 'Of
course I'd do los anything for you

Thankselylng---The Home Day
BY REV. DIR. N. D. HILLS.

BY REV. DR.. N. o. HILLS.
JOHANNESBURG is the home
day. It is the day for the
heart and it's affections. II
is a day for the dreams and
the ideals of youth and maiden.
1t is a day for youth away from
home to freshen their hopes and
kindle anew their aspirations.
Upon this day the son returns to
his mother and the daughter to
her father, together with the lit
tie flock. Upon this day the fire
burns brightly on the old hearth
stone, and those far off or sea
or land look Ionginely toward
the family festival, e as a
bird after long travels longs for
its nest. This festival Of the
family is wholly American. re-
peating no tradition, echoing no
foreign custom. commemorating
no hero, no cpoeh. no revolution.
Our fathers founded this holi-
day that stood for the home as
the typical American institution.
America is the only nation in the
world that has a holiday devoted
to the home and the family.

''Exmas'' deserves no Christmas.
Have you dictionary enemy? Old
ST fairly hates the word worship
and would leave it out of the diction-
ary altogether. He says it is a
heathenish word and a relic of

No indeed, Uncle Heck is wasting

she said she merely wanted to get
new supply of almanacs and weather
charts before they were all gone. She
is good, honest old soul but the
poor creature fails to realize that the
printed forecast for last January will
be fully as good for next year. 1t is
really pathetic.
Dodd CASTOR thinks it was a Ben
Davis apple that started the trouble
in the Garden of Eden but certain
eminent authorities do not agree with
him. Aunt Simpy says it was the
sourest kind of crab, old ST says it
was a Maiden's Blush
