HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Thanksgiving Day Meals.

Thanksgiving Day Meals.
The following menus are suggested
for the three Thanksgiving meals, but
they can be varied in a number of
ways:
BREAKFAST.
FAXED ed Apples and Cream
Lamb F Enops. Rolls Fried Potatoes.
DINNER.
Celery. Olives.
oyster Stew; Crackers.
Roast Turkey Stuffed with Chestnut
Baked Squash. Sweet Potatoes.
Fruit SALAD Sranber cheese Sticks
Small Coffee
SUPPER
Little Necks.
sweet Breads in the Glazing naHnE'c Dish.
F Cup cust alots
Tea.
Your planning of satisfactory
menu will take much t.-ought and
marketing. Whatever else you omit
you certainly will want the ever
welcome Thanksgiving turkey, gar
nished with craaberries and celery
tips.
And a turkey is not a turkey with
out a rich stuffing ard plenty of
gravy. The stuffing should be made
with oysters, unless you have planned
oysters for a first course. In that
case a chestnut stuffing is good sub
stitute.
Three vegetables are none too
1.-dch for the midday meal, such as
potatoes, corn and baked squash
Sweet potatoes are somewhat more
tempting for the midday meal. If
used, the mashed potatoes can be
served for supper.
The desserts 5hould be plentiful,
and here you may have your choice
of mince or apple pie, cup or choco-
late custard and a rich fruit cake
Here are ways to cook the turkey
and the many side dishes:

How to Keep the Hair INTO many
who ask us for something to keep their
hair in we recommend an old soup
tureen. Those, however, who still
have some hair left on their heads
might try the following: Select the
hair you want to keep in. Massage it
briskly about the root with the thumb
and forefinger. Go away and leave it
for while. Repeat this performance
for each hair.
Ticks or Lice-Put the tick or lice
on the side of creased bowl in the
bottom of which there is little bread
pudding. When the lice slips down
the side of the bowl the rush of blood
to his head will make him sick at the
stomach and the sight of the brea d
pudding will unnerve him. While in
this sensitive condition place the lice
in draught where he will catch cold,
and probably go into consumption.

Mr.. Turkey started out very well.
His first thought after he found him
self tied up in a tiny little yard by a
big rope around his right leg, was
about how to get himself out of that
predicament. How to get himself out,
you see 1 say. If he had gone right on
thinking that way he would, no doubt,
have thought of some plan very soon
and then everything would have turn
ed out just as it should.
But he didn't go on thinking that
way-no, sir, he didn't! His second
thought wasn't a good one at all. His
second thought was this, such a fine
handsome turkey as 1, shut up in
little pen, Such a thing can't be al
lowed to happeni Somebody will come
and get me out, why should bother %
And with that thought he began
scratching the ground and waiting for
someone to do something for him
Right there was where he made his
first mistake. For it isn't what is al
lowed to happen that matters: its
what we let happen that counts. And
Mr.. Turkey let himself stay in that
pen carelessly scratching for food,
when he might have been using his
good mind and thinking up a way
out
He scratched while. but much to
his surprise nothing happened
That's queer" he said, and he
looked over toward the farmyard
they all made enough fuss while l
was being caught. Surely they don't
intend to let me stay here and be
killed like common everyday tur-
key, Surely they will do something."
He squinted his eyes and looked at
the farmyard- He couldn't see any
thing unusual going on. He listened
with all his might. but lot an un-
usual sound did he hear All the
commotion seemed to have settled
down into peaceful quiet. Every
one. so far as ne could see, was tend
ing to his own business.

will be resumed at an early date.
The closing session of the present con-
gress is to convene on December 4. In
view of the uncertainties abroad, the
Mexican troubles, and the labor and
other problems at home, keen interest
not unnaturally attaches to President
Wilson's policies to be enumerated in
his address to the legislature. Until
some definite indication of their char
acter is available the uncertainty will
be apt to induce a certain amount of
further restraint in Stock Exchange
operations. Press advices from Wash
ington speak of a desire on the part
of the president for the enactment of
legislation designed to prevent strikes
on railroads unless definite notice
shall have been given we'll In advance.
This is a provision that would very
likely be opposed by labor leaders. but
is one that would do much for all in
terests. There also is a movement to
secure legislation limiting the exports
of American food products because of
the high prices. This legislation would
be unwise. The presidents explana-
ton of our foreign relations will be
awaited with interest. There is
no perceptible sign thus far of any
check to the country's business activ-
tiles Everything is still running full
speed ahead. The U. S. Steel corpora
ton has this week announced another
advance of 10 per cent in wages, maxi
ing the third advance of this amount

manufacturers are following the lead

are numerous in other industries. Mills

nomenal profits, but it is obvious that
when the war ends, as 1t must sooner
or later, a general readjustment must
ensue. 1t then will be necessary for

sition that it is difficult to believe the
leaders will willingly take

TEST OF OIL LAW
Tense Eyes of Operators and
Refiners on Big Suit.
Kansas Stands to Lose $4,000
if Companies Win.
PETITION IN SUPREME COURT
Operators Contest Payment of
State Inspection Fees.
AlIege Levy in Excess of Cost
of Department.
PETITION IN SUPREME COURT

Oil operators and refinerS through
out Kansas have manifested an intense
interest in the suit in the state SUI
preme court to test the constitutional
ity of the oil inspection act of the
Kansas legislature of 1913, involving,
as it does, fees aggregating approx
mately $4,000 which have been paid
under protest into the state treasury
for inspections. by the various oil COM
panies of the state.
Late in 1914 several large oil COM
panies operating in Kansas refused to
pay the state inspection fee of ten
cents a barrel. levied under the act,
holding that the law was unconstitu
tional. AS a result S. NJ. Brewster,
state attorney general, petitioned the
supreme court last May for a writ of
mandamus to compel Frank Cumiskey,
state oil Inspector, to pay the money
derived from the fees into the state
treasury and asking that the protesting
companies be obliged to show cause
for nonpayment of fees.
In his petition, Mr.. Brewster named
Mr.. Cumiskey, the Great Western Oil
Refining company of Erie: the Miller
Oil Refining company of Chanute; the
Eastern Kansas Oil company, Ltd, of
Moran; the Kansas Oil Refining COM
pany of COffeyVille: the Chanute Re
filming company of Chanute, and the
Kansas COOPERATIVE company of Cha
mute, as co-defendants.
Meanwhile an agreement was reach
ed between representatives of the pro-
testing companies and the state Off
Gals whereby the oil companies have
paid the fees, provided for under the
state law, pending the outcome of the
litigation. The money has been held
in a separate fund by the state treas
urer to be returned to the oil com
panieS in the event of their winning
the case. Each month the companies
made reports and remittances as re-
quired by law. The money was placed
in a separate fund, deposited in the
banks. and drew three per cent in
terest on daily deposit. The monthly
amounts, thus paid under protest
have ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
In the answers filed by the defend
ant oil companies. it was held, general
ly. that the fees charged for inspection
were largely in excess of the actual
and necessary cost of maintaining the
| department and of inspecting the oil
and for this reason the tax is a gen
! eral revenue producing medium for
the state in violation of the United
States constitution and the state CON
| stitution of Kansas. 1t was contended
that the object of the law is to tax the
| oil men for the support OF the general
revenue fund of the state.
| Arguments in the case were submit
ted early in January.

Prussian Leader Says Germans
Have Reached Goal.
The Baron Urged War With
Reckless Energy at First.

Amsterdam, Feb. 12.-Via London
A suggestion of the possibility of q
conclusion of peace in the near future
is made by Baron Won Zedelitz of the
Prussian diet, according to the Nos-
sische ZoitUng. The newspaper quotes
him as saying:
''As regards the discussion of Ger
many's aims in the war, in view of the
whole present war situation the con-
clusion of peace in the near future is
not impossible and, therefore, the an
nouncement of our fundamental aims
in the war appears to be necessary if
the voice OF the people is to be heard
at the right time"
Baron Won Zedelitz is the leader of
the free conserva tives in the Prussia
diet. Wide circulation was given to
an article published by him Septem-
