How to Fix the Turkey

What would Thanksgiving Day be
without the Thanksgiving dinner
wonder' 1t is really the turkey that
makes the feast and in almost every
instance the bird is worthy the honor
given it.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote plea
to make the turkey the National bird.
He said the turkey was Il more re-
spectacle bird than the eagle; that it
was native American too, and that
it was especially fitted for the proud
position because it would not hesitate
TO attack British soldier wearing a
red coat should one invade its grounds
1t seems as though this was sort Of
a prophecy for certainly the turkey is
our emblem Of peace, happiness ana
prosperity this year.
Every family has notions of their
own concerning the best bird and when
it is possible one is fattened for a
fortnight or more before it is led to the
block and through various processes of
dressing, stulfng and roasting. Just to
think about the various ways of fixing
the turkey brings vision of Juicy
richness before tine eye The turkey
is not dry meat bird any longer for
the new roasters that are self-basting
keep the flesh moist,
To have the best favor the fowl
should be killed at home and dressed
as soon as dead. After it is plucked
and dressed it should be singed and
pumped by being dipped for few
seconds into scalding water and then
into cold water. Then wipe inside and
outside the bird with clean dry cloth

FIRE PANIC KILLS EIGHT
Dwellers in Tenement Die With Safety
at Hand

New York, Nov. 23.-Eight persons
are dead, two others are so badly burn
ed that they may die, and seven more,
including two fire captains, are injured
as the result of fire of suspicious
origin early yesterday which virtually
destroyed a tve-story brick tenement
house on East Twenty ninth street. As
Il result of disclosures made to the po-
lice by tenant who has been receiv-
ing Black Hand letters for the last
year, and upon whom demand for
s 600 was made Friday under threat
of bodily harm, detectives last night
were seeking men known to them as
Black Hand leaders, whom they suspect
of responsibility for the FIRE.
Panic which seized the tenants when
they were aroused by rescuers caused
the loss of life, the police say, as the
building was amply equipped with fire
escapes. Seven bodies were found in
the hallway on the top floor, near a
stairway leading to the roof, when the
flames had been subdued after an
hour s fight by several FIRE companies
and two fire boats. Yesterday after.
noon Mrs. Annie Cataldo, tenant who
had been rescued, died from heart fail
ure induced by shock and exposure.

and keep in a cold place for twenty
four hours TO season.
If you have no basting pan you must
remember to baste your turkey every
ten minutes all the while it is roasting
this is no light service but the way the
rich ccat of golden brown will grow
under yOur attention will repay you.
If YOU have the covered basting pan
you need only stuff the bird-I feel
sure you want stuiling, though some
folks never make it-and season it and
put it in the pan and in the oven. The
length of time you win bake it will
depend on the size. Along toward the
last period of baking open the baster
and dredge flour over the bird Do not
cover again but let -four brown lightly.
Now close up the pan and finish the
roasting.
When the cooking is finished put the
bird on a roomy platter and if you in,
teud carving it at the table omit all the
garnishes for these are in the carver S
way. Ham goes wonderfully well with
turkey meat so il is often used with it
Little pig sausages too are liked with
turkey.
If you are SO fortunate as to have q

this friendly day have both a turkey
