Break stale bread in small pieces
and cover with cold water; never use
hot water unless you like it soggy and
heavy. Drain and squeeze the water
out with your hands. If it still seems
wet, add dry crumbs to absorb the ex-
ira moisture. Now season well with
salt, pepper finely minced parsley and
sweet marjoram; the kind and amount
of seasoning depends upon your own
taste. For quart of stuffing take
three good-sized onions, chop fine and
fry in butter until they are cooked
through; butter means any sweet fat,
though of course the butter gives
most delicious flavor. Turn the onions
when light yellow into the bread and
mix all together. Then add a little
more fat to the frying pan and turn
in the stuffing when it begins TO
brown, stir often; cook half-hour IL
care is taken not to overbrown it,
then put it piping hot into the fowl or
meat of any kind; the flavor goes into
the meat and the result is a better
favored breast of veal or turkey.
If one has small amount of meat
left, chop it and use this same stuffing
in alternate layers with it with plenty
of gravy, making most economical
and good-flavored dish.
Graham Wafers.-These are so much
better for the children to eat than
rich cookies and so much cheaper made
at home that they are worth trying.
Take one quart of good graham flour.

teaspoonful of salt one-half teaspoon
full of baking powder, two tablespoon
fuls of sweet fat, and good cupful OF
milk. Mix and sift as usual, knead

thickness. Cut into small oblongs and
bake in hot oven, watching carefully
MS they will burn readily around the
tdges.
Economical Cake.-Cream two table
spoonfuls of butter, add cupful of
sugar, one and three-fourths cupfuls
of pastry flour, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, the yolk of an egg un-
beaten. Dissolve one and one-half
squares of chocolate in the milk over
hot water. Sift the flour and baking
powder together; If butter substi-
tute is used, be sure to add salt. Mix
and bake as layer of loaf cake. The
egg white may be used for frosting. IL

dreamed, when the work was hrst
planned, of the scope it would assume
before autumn.
There is probably not state in the
Union which is not represented at the
Walter Reed by at least one son whose
heart has been made glad by the deli
cacies provided by the forethought and
hard work of these women. The Ar
lington farm has been owned many
years by the people of the United
States and much valuable knowledge
been given to them from the ex-
periments carried on there, but this
is the first time that direct return
of its products has been made to the
people. No better or more fitting use,
it is believed, could have been made
of these farm products than to give
them to our boys who have fought and
been wounded 'over there"
The Colorado statesman., 1918-11-23

I'm thankful for lot of things,
I'm thankful I'm alive,
I'm thankful that I'm six years old,
Instead of only FIVE.
I'm thankful for my tops and toys
And for my Kitty Gray.
I'm thankful for the big outdoors
Where l can run and play.
I'm thankful for the things that grow,
The apples-aren't they good2
The corn where we played hide-and-
seek
AS in a little wood.
I'm thankful for the pumpkins round,
Just like golden ball,
And Jack Lanterns, big and queer
They don't scare me at all.
I'm thankful for Thanksgiving day,
For pies all in a row;
I'm thankful Grandma made them
sweet,
She knows / like them so.
I'm thankful for the turkey, too
How brown it is, and NIGEL
And I'd be very thankful, please,
For only one more slice.

DAYS NEW MEANING
This Year National Rejoicing Is
AIIoyed With Thought of
Glad Sacrifice.
"IO very great number Of us,

Il mothers and wives of the Unit

"So very great number of us.
especially the fathers and
Il mothers and wives of the Unit
ed States, Thursday will be one Of the
most realistic Thanksgivings we have
ever spent. At last. after many years
in which this national holiday was
nothing more than that-merely, In
fact, an occasion for feastinS and gath
ering and pleasure-seeking- dis
tinctly American day Is to mean some
thing very real and intimate to us all.
Just what message and benefit 1t
brings to us will depend largely, If not
wholly, upon ourselves. And the char
acter of our appreciation of the bless
ings that have come to us will measure
the depth of our patriotism and love
of country.
We are not of those who believe the
whole sacrifice belongs to the man who
has gone away to fight. AS much-in
some cases even more-bravery and
courage and devotion to duty and to
country have been necessary on the
part of those who remained behind.
And we are certain that those who
stop at home Will, on this coming
Thanksgiving, realize more completely
than they have heretofore that the call
Fate has made upon American man
hood and womanhood is indeed an OPP
portunity for service, not merely
disagreeable duty to be shirked If pos
sible. For only If the men In the
ranks, and equally the men and wom-
en- at home who support and encour-
age them, enter this war in such a
spirit of glad, eager sacrifice will 1t
ever bring us more than disappoint-
ment and regret and terrible loss.
So let Thursday be day of glad
ness, not of sorrow. Let your tears,
If tears there be as you sit beside the
empty chairs, be evidences that your
heart rejoices In the realization that
your son or husband or brother or
friend was brave enough and willing
enough, yes, eager enough, to risk all
that selfish men hold dear and desir-
able that his country might win honor
and security through his blood.

CUSTOM AN OLD ONE
Pages of History Filled With Rec
ord of Days Set Aside for
Giving Thanks.
idea is prevalent throughout
the United States that our

"CHE idea is prevalent throughout
the United States that our
- Thanksgiving day is peculiarly
an American custom of New England
origin. This is true in pGrt only. The
general observance through many
years of set day on which to give
thanks to Almighty God for his bless
ings has made the custom distinctively
American; but its origin long ante
dates the settlement of this western
continent and we must look elsewhere
for it.
In old Egypt, when the harvest had
been gathered, it was the custom to
observe n day of feasting and to lay
offerings upon the altars of Isis, the
goddess of agriculture. The Jewish
festival was the "Ingathering," or the
Feast of the Tabernacle" mentioned
in Exodus and other parts of the Old
Testament. This was more particular
ly thanksgiving for the fruit harvest,
but as it came at the close of the en-
tire harvest it probably was intended
also as general thanksgiving 'for the
bounty of nature"
The goddess of the Roman harvest
was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated
annually and was called Ceralia. 1t
was day of worship and rustic sports.
Men and women formed professions
and went to the fields with music.
In one way or another, Thanksgiv-
ing day had been observed in Chris
tian Europe for centuries before its
celebration in New England. The early
Christians kept such days as the bish-
ops named them within their jurisdic-
ton. On the continent, and for time
in England. 1t occurred at Martinmas,
which was day of feasting and drink
ing. Occasionally, too, civic authorities
recommended the observance of some
fixed day.

Green Tomato Jelly.

By adding lemon or orange, or both,
jelly can be made from green toma-
toes which is of an attractive color
and of pleasant though unusual flavor.
The pectin substances and acids of
lemon and orange, which confer jelly
making properties upon the tomato
juice, are found in both juice snd
white peel, but especially in the latter.
The bitter taste of the uncooked white
peel will not interfere with the flavor
of the uncooked product.
pounds green to- cupfuls sugar

pintS water 2 cupfuls sirup
1h lemons q (nearly pounds)
ounces)
2 oranges Q5
ounces)
Cut tomatoes into small pieces, cook
in one pint of water for half an hour.
AT the same time cook the orange
rind cut up small or put through a
meat chopper in pint of water, slight
ly salted so as to keep the peel tender,
in case it is to be used later in max
ing a relish. Combine these two mix
lures and drain through a jelly bag in
the usual way. Squeeze the bag
gently, in order not to waste the juice
you will find that in this case squeez-
ing does not greatly affect even the
appearance of the jelly. There should
be a quart of juice, more or less, ac-
cording to the rate at which the water
may have boiled down. BOIL the juice
for ten minutes to reduce it In bulk
and concentrate its solids.
At the end of the boiling period
measure the juice; for each cupful of
juice add one-half cupful Of sugar and
one-half cupful of sirup. Boil until
good jelly test is secured, that is, I'M
til it begins to jelly as the last drip
pings come from the spoon, or when
a drop stands on cold plate. The
amount of jelly secured will be at
least three glasses, or somewhat more
than one pint. 1t may be almost twice
that under favorable circumstances.
If the juice, when poured into
glasses, shows signs of jellying but
does not set at once, place it away,
lightly covered with cloth, for several
days; you may secure fine firm jelly
at the end of week. 1T should then
be covered with hot pasaffin as usual
The jellies made with large pro-
portion of corn strip VIII be satisfac-
tory if served within an hour or two
after turning out of the g-'ass, but they
do not hold up perfectly if left to
stand for day or two, aven though
quite firm in the beginning.
If oranges are high in prfce larger
amount of lemon may be t'sed. Two
lemons ordinarily may lie substituted
for one orange, but the 1avtc will be
a decidedly different one.

Over Seas for Freedom.

II EFT us be glad together that the
passionate love of freedom that
- made the Pilgrim Fathers set
sail in fragile ships to brave the un-
known terrors of the inhospitabIe New
England coast is driving US back over
the seas in dreadnaughts to face the
known horrors of modern warfare.
When that spirit dies there can be
no more Thanksgiving in America. Az
long as this spirit lives II is always
Thanksgiving day, whatever happens,
or whatever we may have or may not
have for dinner.
Let US give thanks that years of
prosperity and fatness, years of peace
and security, have not served to make
us entirely forgot that unless we love
freedom more than life, we are al
ready as one dead; unless we know
the difference between real peace and
selfish security, we are already con-
quered people.
Let us give thanks for our strength,
our wealth and our opportunities gar
nered under the protection of even a
dawning democracy, and for the
chance to pour them out without stint
for the spread of democracy to every
corner of our world.

Real Day of ThanksqiXinq.

There is a difference between being
thankful and having a good time. One
can enjoy an elaborate dinner and the
meeting of friends without any uplift
OF the heart to the Giver of all good.
Make Thanksgiving more than jolly
day, a day of festivity and good cheer
ana friendly companionship. Put
aside portion of 1t for real Thanks
giving to him to whom your thanks
are due.

AS to Food Waste.

Over at Mt. Sterling last week a
very prominent groccryman was
harncssed up for selling barrel OF
-four without selling an equal a

was let off by paying $500 cash tn
the Red Cross Society and signing
an affidavit that he would adhere
strictly to food regulations in the
future, 1t is right that he should
be made come across for this viola
ton.
During the same time in Lexing-
ton there were scores of stout ro-
bust men doing nothing but selling
stuff made of good grain that would
have substituted this barrel of -four
five hundred times. This stuff is
known as liquor. 1t sells at a high
price, and in this United States it
takes 100000 people to keep it
going. The use Of it greatly incap-
itates those persons from work,
keeps them from producing more
flour and vcritably makes some of
them very often worse than beasts.
The man who refuses TO save
food according TO the requests Of
administration is disloyal, but far
more disloyal is the man who
knowingly and willfully worse than
wastes ten times as much i'll dc

we have no order TO stop this pit

wills it, but has been stilled i'll this
endeavor by this disloyal interest :
influence in Congress which is yet
the greatest national governing
power OH the earth.

Three cheers for the Times. If
all papers were as clean as it is their

destroying the young men and chill
dren of our country as the cigaret-

partly through neglect of the par

filling his lungs full of a slow but
sure poison and clogs the wheels of
intellect until they can't perform
their duty and laying the founda-

part is ignorance of the child. But
the parents know that it is an open
violation of the law for a youngster
to be caught with cigarettes and
paper and every grand jury knows
this too, but let it 90. Who is to
blame? Is it any wonder the infant
