LIKE AN OLD
FRENCH CHATEAU
1t Is the Gedney Farm Hotel, in
the Hills Of West

BY wINNIFRED HARPER COOLEY.


In the woods of Westchester, that
country which furnishes the necessary
inducements to wholesome outdoor life
TO so many strenuous New Workers,
and in which lie nestled large num-
bers Of magnificent estates, is build
ing which is replica Of an old French
chateau. Ii is the Gcdney Farm Hotel.
Scarcely more than a year ago the
sunny plateau within the borders Of
White Plains. on which Is the hotel,
was occupied by group OF buildings
forming the country estate OF Howard
Willets. Almost in twinkling these
low, rambling buildings were trans
formed into a palatial modern hosiery,
now an all-year resort This trans
formation was made by Kenneth VI.
Murchison.
Every one knows that the ancient
castles Of feudal times were physl-
cally uncomfortable. The cheapest
Harlem fiat furnishes more luxury in
the shape Of tiled bathrooms, of day
and night hot water. electricity, gas
ranges and fancy plumbing, than the
kings and queens Of old could have
dreamed of. Thus il would have been
absurd to have tried to carry out the
old ideas i'm the interior furnishings
of the hotel. The delicate tracery OF
the lattice work on the ballroom ceiling
is charmingly modern, and the brass
fixtures and electric appointments are
up TO date. The two converted rooms.
which create such interest on account
of their strange origin, are 40Xs0 feet
and only T. feet high. Such dimen-

AS the Christmas bird par excellence
is the goose, suggestions for its selec-
ton and cooking are now in season.
If fate be kind and you can get a
green goose from three to four
months old you may count yourself
lucky, for it is considered a most deli
cate dish. 1t should hang up at least
twenty-four hours before cooking.
A green goose should not be stuffed,
but treated like a game bird. Simply
season 1t inside and out. SINCE and
remove all the pinfeathers; then scrub
the skin with warm soapsuds to open
the pores, soften the fat and draw out
the oil. Cold water would be useless
in this case. Rinse in cold water, wipe
dry, rinse out the inside quickly with
clear water and drain. Season, inside
and out, with salt and pepper, put half
a white onion inside, dredge thickly on
the outside with flour and roast in a
quick over for at least an hour and
serve as you should serve geese of any
age, with boiled onions and apple
sauce.
A gocss over a year old becomes
strong and greasy and is only fit for
boiling or steaming. In selecting a
goose see that the fat is soft and white.
The fat of an old bird is dark. The
feet should be smooth and yellow, the
wings supple and tender at the pinions
and the end of the breastbone 1eXi-
BILE. After four months of age a goose
is usually stuffed with potatoes and
sage, potatoes and chestnuts or white
apples. In the latter case the apples
are usually thrown away after the bird
is roasted, their purpose being to alb
sorb the strong favor. This is espe.
cially advisable with an old goose.
A goose, of all birds, requires long,
thorough cooking and frequent basting,
basting and dredging every ten or if-
teen minutes. To make the sauce for
the goose turn all the fat from the
roasting pan except two tablespoon
fuls. Add two tablespoonfuls of flour
and cook until frothy. Then pour in a
pint of boiling water or stock. When
the mixture boils up thoroughly season
with salt and pepper, add a teaspoon
full or two of kitchen bouquet and a
little chopped parsley if liked. Gar.
nish the goose with watercresses and
serve with apple sauce

WHAT is THE NATTER?

AS one state after another outlaws
the drink traffic the astonished liquor
men ask, whats the matter, any
way?" That question is easily an
swered. The thing that's all wrong is
liquor itself, and the people are find
ing it out. The dispensary plan; the
high license plan; the government
owned saloon; the family liquor store;
Sunday closing; early closing; strict
supervision; adjustment of free
lunch, music, tables and games; the
system of having only n saloon to
so many population; local OPTIONAL
of these are mere subterfuges. They
are quack remedies. They do not go
to the root of the evil which is liquor
itself. The only cure for the liquor
evil is the complete prohibition of its
manufacture and sale in the whole ma
tion.-Kansas City (Mo.) Times.

WAR UPON PAIN :!

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually comes quite Unexpectedly. But
you are prepared for every emergency
if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's
Liniment handy. 1t is the greatest
pain killer ever discovered. Simply
laid on the skin-no rubbing required
it drives the pain away. 1t is really
wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal,
writes: "Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, l came home with my
neck SC stiff that l couldn't turn. |
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the second
application l was as good as new"

FOOL STUNT.

Henry Ford's business acumen has
made of him a national figure, has
given him a name to be envied in COM
mercial circles in this country.
And just as he is reaching the zen
it'll of his career a fool stunt is likely
to transform him into an object of
ridicule throughout the world.
Mr.. Ford's much advertised peace
party mission to Europe is with the
avowed intention of sending wireless
messages to the soldiers in the trench
es, demanding that they lay down
their arms and go home On a strike
against their officers-in other words,
to desert the flags they follow.
If it were not that such a demand
would likely involve this country in
trouble with some foreign government
the whole proceeding would be SO ri
diculous as to be funny.
The EMISSION" was foredoomed to
be a farce and a fzzle from the be-
ginning, and for the sanest and sim
plest reasons in the world.
1t would be impossible for Ford or
any other man to send a wireless mes
sage to the troops in the trenches, for
the simple reason that there are no
wireless stations in the trenches to re-
ceive such a message.
No commander of troops would per-
nit such a message to reach his men
if a dozen stations were available.
The men who are fighting the caus-
es of their respective countries are
not the traitors or fools Mr.. Ford
takes them to be. They believe in the
cause for which they are c~ontendinp.
and the wild vaporings of a bunch of
notoriety seeking Americans will elicit
from them nothing but the utmost
contempt.
Mr.. Ford may be a big frog in De-
troit, but he will find from sad expert
ence that he is a mighty little tadpole
in the European puddle.
The wisest thing he can do is to go
back to Detroit, and stay there, and
FORGET himself.
The sycophantic small fry who are
trailing along in the shadow of his
millions do not count at all.

since prohibition had closed so many
saloons, the liquor press sent up a
howl declaring that prohibition had
thrown hundreds of men employed by

ton has shown, however, that the
company had received immense orders
for Edison photograph cases and sim
liar work and that not n man has
been discharged as a result for the
diversion of the work into different

Last years figure was 8 mills. This

ton for the two funds amounts to half

County officials explain the reduc-
ton in the court expense levy by the
fact that dry conditions have greatly

KEEP YOUR NOSE AT HOME.

Isn't it about time for the govern
ment to call a halt on the rapidly
growing habit of certain American
people poking their noses into Eu-
ropes affairs?
Their meddlesome advice has not
been solicited and it will not be heed
ed, and the only visible effect will be
the bringing of our own country into
all nations, a condition which may
easily lead to serious trouble for Us
in the near future.
When European governments at
wal with each other will not listen to
the tenders of good offices from the
heads of neutral nations, what reason
have we to suppose that they would
give ever a thought to the blatant de-
mands of private American citizens
who apparently think more of news
paper notoriety than they do of
peace?
The great mass of our Americans of
all degree are a sane and sensible peo-
pie, who attend strictly to their own
affairs. But we are cursed with a
minority who are never happy unless
they can get into the newspaper head
lines, and they will go to extreme
lengths to satisfy their insane crav-
ings.
By strenuous work the United
States has managed to keep out of
the European entanglements thus far,
although u prestige has suffered to
a degree.
We cannot afford to be drawn into
it through the officious meddling of a
gang of irresponsible American noto-
riety seekers who persist in poking
their noses in the European face.
Europe will settle its war in it's own
way when the right time ZONES In
the meantime let the government in
sist that the American nose be kept
