Dear Mrs. Thompson: (D What is
good for a cold in the head? On the
lungs? All over the body?
90 What is good for catarrhal
headache?
90 How can / regain young lady's
love who has rned me down com
pletely? AMAS.
% If the passages in the head are
stopped up, heat some vinegar and salt
in stew pan. Throw shawl over
your head and hold the stew pan I'M
der the shawl, breathing the steam.
Steaming the head by holding boiling
water under the shawl is also good to
open the pores. If the cold is on the
lungs, mustard plaster mixed one
half -four and one-half mustard mixed
with the white of an egg will relieve
the soreness and will not blister the
chest Soak the feet in hot mustard
water: drink hot lemonade and cover
up warm in bed. If you can open all
the pores and induce profuse perspira-
ton your cold will be better in the
morning. Take a cold spray or tepid
sponge before going out in the morn
ing to close the pores, so you will not
take more cold.
CD A douche TO open the passages
in the head might bring relief. Use
warm salt water.
CD am afraid there is nothing you
can do in such a case but forget her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We live with
my husbands mother. OF course she
is very nice, but l do so want to be
alone with my husband and baby, and
when 1 think of it sometimes l don't
feel like getting along with her; it
makes me feel so discouraged. We
can very well afford to live alone. l
have talked to my husband about it,
and she knows how l feel about it, too.
What would you advise me to do?

London, Dec 21.-One striking re
suit of the recent German invasion o.
England has been the organization anC
rapid growth of the Women's Volunteer
Reserve, an organization the object Of
| which is the formation of many regi
ments of women volunteers who may
assume the lighter and less danger
Gus duties of the soldiers and thus
| spare more men for the trenches and
the firing lines.
Four companies of women reservists
are already formed, and their colonel
is the Viscountess Castlereagh, daugh-
ter-in-law of the Marquis of London.
| derry and daughter of the Right Hon.
Henry Chaplin, NJ. P, who presided at
the recent meeting in the Mansion
House, held for the furthering of the
organization.
At this meeting the Lord Mayor of
London defined the project as having
the purpose of providing a trained
and highly efficient body of women
whose services can be offered to the
state if required"
He said that women reservists
could be trained for signalling, dis
patch riding, telegraphing, motoring
and camp cooking, and thus, in time
of necessity, could relieve the men
assigned to such tasks ano bring
about an appreciable reinforcement
of the actual fighting ranks.
Colonel Viscountess Castlerea CHS
father said that the corps only would
be brought into action in the event
of the invasion of England 'by
hordes of German barbarians." He
said that the war department would
never think of ordering armed wom-
en- into any aggressive action, but
declared that the object was worthy
of enthusiastic supper; that it arm
ed them for their own defense in the
last extremity Such a movement,
he declared. was entirely justifia BILE.
Viscountess .Castlereagh is young
and handsome, a famous equestri-
enne and the owner of many prize
dogs, among them being Jock, q
50, 500 bloodhound with a pedigree |
going back $50 years. She visited |
America with her husband in 1905 !
for the purpose of hunting big game. |
her other accomplishments, I
she is a crack shot. She killed three |
bears in the Canadian wilds.

THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY.

n Z III Mo mA0 OhNG u
/ Poultry should be dressed as soor
as it is killed, and turkey is no eXcep
ton to this rule. The feathers come
off easier when the fowl is warm and
when stripped off toward the head.
If the skin is very tender, pull the
| feathers out the opposite way.
! Use a knife to remove the pin
| feathers SINCE the hairs and down
| by holding the fowl over a gas jet or
over a roll of lighted paper held over
the fire.
Remove wind pipe pull crop away
from the skin on neck and breast,
and cut off close to opening into the
body. Be careful not to tear the
skin. Always pull the crop out from
the end of the neck, rather than
through a cut in the skin, which, if
made, has to be sewed together.
To dress a turkey for roasting:
First. make an incision near the
vent; insert two fingers, loosen the
fat from the skin and separate
membranes lying close to the body.
Keep fingers up close to breastbone
until you can reach in beyond the
liver and heart, and loosen on either
side down toward the back The
gall bladder lies under the lobe of
the liver on the left side, and if the
fingers be kept up and everything
loosened before drawing out. there
will be no danger of its breaking.
The kidneys and lungs are often
left in by careless cooks, but every
thing that can be removed should be
taken out.
When the fowl has been thorough
ly cleaned it will not require much
washing Hold it under the faucet
or rinse out the inside quickly, then
wipe dry.
When these directions have been
observed, proceed 10 stuff the turkey
with bread or cracker crumbs highly
seasoned with sage, thyme, salt and
pepper; moisten stuffing with half
cup of melted butter and enough hot
water to make it quite wet. Add one
beaten egg. Some use a little salt
pork finely chopped, but. of course. |
that is matter of taste. Oysters, |
chestnuts. chopped celery or stoned !
raisins make a pleasing variety; es |
pecially do many people like stoned |
raisins and celery il their turkey !
dressing.
Place turkey on a rack in a pan.
rub well with butter and dredge with 4
salt. pepper and flour. Put in hot
oven; when flour is Drowned. reduce
heat and add a pint of water. Basic
With butter until nicely Drowned,
hen with the fat in the pan. Basic
'ften, and dredge with salt and flour
Ifter every bastlng.
Allow three hours for an eight
pound turkey Cook until the legs
will separate from the body.
With roast turkey, cranberry sauce
II currant jelly is served
Gravy for roast turkey: Put glib
ats, or neck, liver. gizzard and heart.
n TO boil in one quart water; boil
ntil tender and water is reduced to
plat. Then mash liver and. if de
ired, chop gizzard, heart and the meat
rom neck.
