THANKSGIVING DINNER
GOOD WITHOUT TURKEY
Local Domestic Science Experts Prepare Economical and
And Tempting Menus for National
Feast Day.

With Thanksgiving little more than
n week in the distance, 1t behooves
housewives, chefs and culinary artists
Of all descriptions to begin searching
through cook books. menu lists. etc,
for a menu suitable to the needs and
purses Of the ind vidual family. From
the time the pilgrim fathers landed on
the shores OF America up until today
Thanksgiving has been known as tho
Feast day in America and there are
few families in America that do not
make some preparation for the feast
OF Thanksgiving.
The turkey, that appropriate meat
set apart by our ancestors as the dish
to grace the centre OF the table, still
adorns the fcstal board of the rich
and those OF moderate means; but
owing to the rapid advance in the
price and the scarcity OF the meat. the
turkey has in many homes been relc.
gated to the tables OF The more fortC-
nate and taking its place In these less
pretenticus homes. has come roast
chicken. duck or pork with the accom-.
panimcnts that so to make up
Thanksgiving, ii the proper spirit OF
meagre the menu OF the table on
Thanksgiving. II the proper spirit of
Thanksgiving goes with the meal. it
will be blessing to all that partake.
Anticipating the dilemma many
housewives will be in, for the next few
lays, deciding upon menu suitable
to serve to her family, Miss Virginia
Gasktll, head of the domestic science
department Of the Fairmont High
school, and Miss Nell Mcconnell, head
Of the Normal school domestic science
department have submitted four well
balanced menus, two OF which woull
do credit to the most pretentious
Thanksgiving board and the other two
will furnish splendid meals for per.
sons OF moderate means.
In the two menus submitted by Miss
Gaskill she estimates that the dinner
in which the turkey heads the menu
will cost the sum of $500 for six per.
sons or silky cents per plate. In her
menu where roast pork takes the place
of turkey, the estimate is placed at
S2.40 for the entire dinner for six or
forty cents per plate.
Miss Mcconnell in her menus re.
quires the outlay Of ninety cents more
on the turkey dinner than does Miss
Gaskill but On the other hand her menu
submitted for the less pretentious din
ner. falls forty cents below that sub.
mitted by Miss Gaskill. Miss McCon.

Democratic Leader Takes
Strong Stand in Favor
of Such Legislation.
BRING BRITAIN TO TERMS
Generally Agreed Strong
Fight Will Be Made in
Coming Session.

WASlIIN iTON. D. e., Nov. o..
Representative Fitzgerald Democratic
chairman Of the House Appropriations
committee. announced today that he
favored an embargo on food stuIs ard
that 1t was his purpose to prepare
bill and press the subject early in tho
coming session OF Congress.
1.-TWO reasons chiefly imHcl me TO
favor embargo legislation on food
stuff" said Mr.. Fitzgerald. 1T is the
most effective weapon In our contro.
versy with Great Britain over the un-
warranted outrages and indefensible
black list Of American merchants. As
our food stufts arc needed abroad, an
embargo will be more effective than
weary months Of diplomatic negotia.
lions which end in the continuance OF
indefensible practices against our
rights.
The embargo should also be impos-
cd for purely domestic reasons. The
prices OF food stuff have reached levels
that are bringing widespread distress
to the country. Many hundreds of
thousands Of people are suffering from
Jack of necessities.
Wholesale prices in many commod.
ities are less abroad today than they
were year ago. Here the retail
prices have advanced alarmingly.
THE argument that nothing should
be done to interfere with the expan.
sion Of our foreign trade does not i'm
press me. or what profit is 1t If our
foreign trade Is to grow with leaps
and bounds while our own people are
brought to the verge Of starvation as
a result of It?
THE time is ripe for an embargo
and hope TO see legislation speedily
enacted TO impose it. LeI America
De for Americans first"
II seems 10 be generally agreed here
that the coming session of Congress
will see a fight over an embargo pro.
posal which is backed by monster Pc
titions signed by thousands of persons
and organizations.
President Wilson and the cabinet
arc understood to oppose it.
