TO MAKE WITH CHESTNUTS
Variety Of Good Things That Will Be
Appreciated by Those Fond Of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every.
body, although they are sometimes
found indigestible If they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is a
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with cross on the stem end,
and tie them in piece of cheesecloth
or put them in a cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in salted water.
Then serve them with butter and salt,
as they are. or prepare them more
elaborately.
Chestnut custard is a delicious des-
sert, and can be made either from
roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and a half of
them. Rub them through a sieve and
mix with a cupful of butter, to a
paste. Add the yolks of six eggs beat.
en- creamy, three-quarters of a cup.
full OF powdered sugar and half a cup
full Of cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs, beat
en- stiff, and heat in double boiler
until it thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad boil 20 chest.
nuts, as directed above, and drop into
cold water to harden. Then peel and
cut into pieces the size of the chest
nut quarters. Serve with French
dressing on crisp leaves of lettuce.
Chestnut soufile calls for a pint of
cooked chestnuts rubbed through q
sieve. Thicken six tablespoonfuls of
hot milk with four level tablespoon
fuls Of flour rubbed smooth with two
of butter. Add the yolks of three
eggs beaten, two tablespoonfuls OF
sugar, and stir in lightly the stiff
whites Of four eggs. Bake 20 min
utes.
For chestnut pudding boil a pound
and half of chestnuts and work them
to paste. Cream half cupful Of
butter with half a cupful of sugar
and add the beaten yolks of six eggs
stiff and fold them in lightly. Pour
in a buttered mold and steam for
an hour and serve with a sweet pud
ding sauce.

matter OF speculation amonL the scientists OF the
National museum. where the specimeh is on exhi.
bition.
Another interesting fact in this same
ton resulted from n scientific expedition which
DIR. G. Hart Merriam made among the mountains
OF Arizona: he came across n living species of
bird identical with the one found mummihed
and which is now known to the scientific world
by his name
Another recent discovery in connection with
the turkey was n Maya heroglyphic. This piece
OF parchment shows n groccr's account in which
are mentioned. with other things ten turkey hens
and Ave turkey cocks. This is thought to be the
nrst record Of the turkey In this country and
antedates the expedition OF Cortes to Mexico In
1873
But the turkey goes back farther among the
Indians than even the probable date at which
the specimen found In the cave existed Among
the Iunis. for instance, there exist many legends
handed down from time immcmorial. which have
for their subject the turkey.
The turkey plays more important part IN the
life OF the Indian than In his legends alone No,
only Is It regarded AS n choice article OF food,
but In many tribes 1t is held sacred In the parts
OF the country where the turkey worshiped
with that curious devotion to animals which
charactcrizos different stages In the development
from savagery to civilIzation-it was never eaten
except when other food was unobanablc And
even then separate portions were divided among
various tribes. so that the religious custom would
not be violated.
Turkey feathers rank next In importance to
those OF the eagle with all tribes, while the
Apacl ~. the ramunkcys and Chcy chose
the turkeys feathers for all ceremonial head
dresses and ornaments. The Pnmunkcy tribe
also used turkey feathers for ornamental pur.
poses their clothing. as well Ms for their head
gear. To this day. when they don their native
costumes. the turkey feather Is preferred "a

Campaign for Y. M. c. A.
Sustaining Memberships
to Start Next Tuesday

An extensive campaign for the pur-
! pose Of increasing the number of busi-
ness mems sustaining memberships of
| the local Y. NJ. c. A. will start next
Tuesday morning. Arrangements for
the campaign were completed yester-
day at meeting Of the Y. NJ. G. A.
board of directors and committees at
| the Annex hotel at noon and at a
meeting of the campaign committee at
the association building at $50 O'clock
last evening.
The work and scope of the local as
sociation has grown so large during
the past year that the present income
Of the institution has become made
quate to successfully carry on the
work. The number who are being
benefited in some way or other by
the association has passed all previ-
Gus records this fall and all indica-
tions are that the number will be con-
siderably increased during the COM
ing winter.
1t is hardly necessary to elaborate
upon the scope and width of the work
that the local association is carrying
on. These facts are too we'll known to
the business men of the city and 1t is
to these men that the appeal next
week will be made.
The situation in a nutshell is that
the membership of more Of the local
business men is needed. The mem
bership fee Of the boy, the student
and the young man is carried by the
association at an average loss OF 25
to 80 per cent and it requires the
membership fee Of one business maI

to balance the loss on each OF these
memberships.
At present there is one business
mems membership to every two Of
the other memberships and the CAM
paign next week will be for the pur-
pose of balancing the ratio OF the two
memberships. This will allow the as.
ISOLATION to at least break even and
probably work at a profit that can DO
applied to the building fund. ...
Every membership taken by bust
ness man will give him value receiv-
ed. 1t is only necessary for one of
these men to colnc to the association
building late in the afternoon and see
many of the business men of his acq-
uaintance enjoying the Benefits and Of
ferings of the local association to have
him realize what IL would mean to
him personally. Many of the local
business men WHO are mcrlbers OF
the association have repeatedly stated
that they would not part with their
membership for ten times what it cost
them If they were forced o forego the
pleasure and recreation that ii gave
them. a,.r1-.' .s
The committee that will have charge
of the campaign next week are going
to make 1t a point to show each bust
ness man to whom they canvas for q
membership the many advantages
that he will derive personally and this
together with the tremendous influ-
ence that the Y. ". G. A exerts on the
social life of Fargo and the north
west ought to produce Leverage enough
to draw every business man of the
city into the fold.

Washington, Dec S.-The beet sugar
production this year will be S66,20O
short tons, the department OF agricul-
ture announced in a preliminary re-
port That is 10000 tons more than
last years total. Production Of beets
was 6,462,000 short tons from about
|624,000 acres, the principal producing
states being Colorado, with $4,000
tons; California, 2oS,200 tons; Michi-
gan 12s,300 tons, and Utah $1,000
tons. ..
The country's sugar supply, as es-
timated by the department was 34s,-
900 short tons on July 1 this year not
counting stocks on hand The aver
age consumption for the Ave years
ending June 80, 1914, was about 1851
900 short tons or nearly SO pounds per
capita. ... ..- '-.

American insular possessions and
about one fourth is from the beet and

ant Bertholf of the coast guard.
Neither Senator Fletcher nor Repre-

the difference between the present bill
and the one which was defeated in the
