"5} In Memorial Hall.

Stored ii the state house at To
peka, are the sixteen battle flags
which the Kansas regiments followed
In the Civil war. These treasured
emblems can never again be unfurled.
They were tattered and torn when
they were brought home and deposit

valient regiments that enlisted from
Kansas. These old banners wrapped
about the STATS that bore them aloft

Ing into decay and must be handled
with great care. For nearly nifty

Soon these loved and treasured bat.
tie flags are to be removed to their
last resting place. A great vault In
Memorial hall will receive and keep
their sacred dust forever Tenderly,
the soldiers who followed these VIC
torious banners in the war to make
Kansas free, will carry them from the
state house and deposit them in a
magnificent monument erected by q
grateful people.
The parade by the survivors Of tho
sixteen Kansas regiments, each d.
vision falling in behind its own col
Ors as these old vetaranS carry these
banners to Memorial hall, will be the
most inspiring scene ever witnessed
in the state. It will be one of the
most interesting features of the d.
cation of Memorial hall, as 1t will
precede the address of the Comman-
der-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the

to Be Served Up Roasted-cook-
Ing Recipe Handed Down
From Colonial Days.
BY Ida AMEs WILLIS.

A goose intended for roasting should
not be excessively fat, as it will lose
most OF its grease in the process OF
roasting. This fat will give the meat
a rank flavor and will not increase its
wholesomeness. When sage Is used
In the stuffing. you render is still less
digestible on account Of the essential
oil in the sage. Well dried and pow
dered sage, however, may be used in
very small quantity, adding merely a
suspicion Of the flavor
Braised Goose-This is really the
most satisfactory way to roast your
goose. With your favored stuft1ng, or
without stufEing, when it is well done
It practically becomes a roast goose,
tho advantage of this method being
that it admits of 1t being more juicy.
Remember that a goose is both un-
wholesome and unpalatable when In
sufficiently cooked.
Roast Goose a la Mount Vernon
This Is a recipe from old Colonial
days: The young goose is stuffed with
the following: Well mashed potatoes,
which are slightly seasoned with light
ly fried onions. salt, pepper and lit
tie minced parsley. Accompany the
goose with apples cut in halves. pared,
baked in goose grease and sprinkled
with little sugar.
Dutch Stufing-This is considered
the best stuflng for goose: Small
Dutch or finger potatoes are sliced
fine, sailed, peppered and mixed with
the kidney and caul fat from the in
terror of the goose, finely cut or chop
ped, or half their weight Of suet or
scraped bacon.
Picayune Stuffing- one cup Of
mashed potatoes, four cooking apples,
pared and cored, four white onions
one teaspoonful of sage well powdered.
half a teaspoonful Of thyme, and pep.
per and salt to taste. Place apples.
onions and herbs In saucepan with
sufficient water to cover, and COOK
together until soft. Mash well and
press through sieve. Add a cup OF
mashed potatoes. mix well. season to
taste with salt and pepper Stun both
body and crop Of the goose. and pro
coed as for roasting turkey II roast
ed in an open pan, haste every ten
minutes in order to have it nice and
Juicy. It generally requires an hour
and half to roast well. but the rule
of twenty-five minutes to a pound is
safe one to follow,
II your goose is very fat or you
have reason to suspect it 10 past its
first youth, It should be first boiled or
steamed and then finished in the oven.

country which while adjusting its financial machinery
to the r uirements of the currency law is prob
ably about to be called upon provide for its war
chest.
These two duties are of themselves formidable. but
they will be performed with all cheerulness and dis
patch. There must, however be no other impending
burden The country must its whole task before
it; it must know what it has contribute and where
that contribution is to come from There must be no
interference with the OF funds. To
prosecute war to successful and speedy conclusion
the administration must have the hearty confident
support OF every individual OF every interest and OF
every facility and utility they control Railroads. fac
tories banks farms must be kept in smooth working
order. New laws OF experiments involving possible
friction in the machinery curtailment OF capacity or
shaking of confidence will have he shelved while
