PREP AIRING FOR
CHRISTMAS DINNER
Some Helpful Suggestions Will be
Found in the Stores and
Market.

In the olden times, Christ mas was OBJ
served on the twentieth of May, the
twentieth and twenty-first of April, and the
sixth of January, depending on national
ity. IL wasn't until the time of Julian
First, who was Bishop of Rome from 337
10 $50 A. D., that the feast of Christ
mas was celebrated ON the twenty-iitth
Of December. Julian won everybody over
10 December 25 as the accepted day of the
Nativity. The Drllids later added the
old yule log and the mistletoe the Ger
manic tribes the Christmas tree and Kris
kingle-the patron saint of the SPIRIT OF
the Gift.
Every housewife who runs true TO
form will have her plum puddings and
mincemeat made ready for the old-iash-
loned Christmas dinner In most homes the
dinner would undoubtedly he pronounced
failure were the cook to fail in providing
the old-time dishes, so we'll beloved for
this festival. With the orthodox dishes
something lighter and more digcstible
must he provided for the folks who are
vegetarians or martyrs 10 indigestion.
On the average housewife, for n week or
two before Christmas, dcvolve a multi
tude of duties OF the mne remaining
davs until the great ylIletide event. the
kitchen Will be the scene of unusual activ-
ity. Throughout Christendom II is custom
small cakes or cookies for Christmas and
IN many instances sufficient supply is
made 10 last into tho New York
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-12-14

This custom of bygone days still al
fords amusement to the smaller children,
and the "Yule Doughs, /" az they are bet
ter known, are often formed in the shape
of animals and small images. All OF this
has the housewife to contend with. The
few remaining days will be utilized to
the best advantage. As a matter OF sug-
gestion, and in planning the day, 1T must
be remembered that not only the dinner,
but all the meals should he typical of
the season.
Offerings in the city stores and markets
enlighten, to certain extent, the COM
plexitics of those who are the least pre-
pared for the occasion. In fact with each
day increases the Christmas spirit ana IN
both Market and King streets daily
scenes depict unusual trade activity. En-
couraging is the report from poultry deal
ers and farmers that the turkey the nation
nj bird, chicken and goose will be plenti-
full and with practically little difference
in price rs compared with Thanksgiving
quotations. To those who prefer the old
fashioned dinner small pig roast with
the usual trimmn is suggested.
'Tls said, in old-fashioned homes on
the last Sunday in Trinity, the minoemeat
was solemnly carried round IN its jar, and
every one stirred it for luck from the head
of the home down to the youngest MEM
Der Of the household, SO that they might
all have their share in the good luck of
the coming year.
Plum puddings and mincemeat should
be made several weeks prior to the holi-
days, so that the ingredients from which
they are prcparcd'may have matured and
become well ripencd, which process in
creascs their fine flavor.
One Of the most important things for
the proper celebration Of Christmas is n
supply Of good candy. The most delicious
fudge, caramcls. taffy and glazed nuts and
fruits. and any number Of other good
things. can be made if a cold clear day IS
selected Tho various grades of nuts in
the market are selling a few cents cheaper
than in some previous years and advantage
should be taken Of the supply now on hand.

Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE farmer
owes his first duty to himself and
family and II he can not obtain COS,
of production plus reasonable prof
it for his products, then 1t il high
time for him to arrange systematic
ally to reduce production. A. Sykes
Of Ida Grove, president Of the Corn

day at the annual convention.
ut Is no more the sacred duty OF
the farmer to produce at a loss SO
that the world shall not starvs than

he said, when discussing prices and
financial conditions confronting the
farmer.
"The sacred duty Of the farmer
is to himself and to his family, and
If the world Is not willing to allow
him the cost Of production plus a
reasonable profit for his products,
then It is high time for him to ar

because of her own state of health
since she Is to become a mother.
Heretofore King Alexander's mar
rage had not been considered in
some governmental quarters TO be
valid because it had been solemnized
secretly and without the fulfillment of
certain formalities. Since the death
OF the king, the government has been
so moved by the devotion of his
widow that 1t has discovered law
by virtue of which Nine Manos is
recognized as having been the kings
legal wife.
This was regarded here as exclud
ing the possibility of raising difficult
ties in connection with her inherit
ance OF the late kings personal es-
tate. 1t is also understood that the
government will hay bill before the
next parliament for the payment of a
pension to Nine. Manos
All this has made her an interesting
figure in the tragedy enacted at the
Tatoi Chateau where the king and his
wife led the ha .Dpiest OF lives until
the terrible mishap cut short the life
OF the monarch. Their roma nee has
been one OF the most fascinating
stories of royal life In Europe for
years.
Aspasia Manos belonged to the
Greek Phamariote aristocracy but
was not Of royal blood. She was a
beautiful girl and the young prince
fell in love with her When King
Constantine abdicated and Alexander
was called to the throne. he laid
down as q condition OF acceptance
that he should be allowed to marry
the girl to whom he had pledged his
word.
The government appeared to re-
lspect the princes sentiments but has
been charged with having endeavored
by every means to bring about rup-
ture between the two and even went
to the extent of expelling her from
Greece after the king had secretly
married her.
King Alexander. however. not only
brought his bride back to Greece but
insisted and obtained permission for
her to live in the royal palace. An
anomalous situation ensued but the
king was quite happy and little Do
he worry about what the people
thought or said about his wife.
Since the death of King Alexander
the Greek courts have declared valid
his marriage to Nine. Manos, DIS
missed the opposition Of the former
King Constantine, and ruled that she
shall inherit Alexanders personal
property, which had been claimed py
Constantine. The high courts also
decided that her expected child VIII

The British delegates left late last

GERMANY POOR lMiTAToR.

Berlin. Dec. 14--German manufae-
turers have flooded the markets here
with limitations of American, English
and French wares. some so cleyerly
made 1t Is difficult to detect them.
but others of an almost ludicrous
clumsiness.
A purchaser who goes into a to-
bacco shop and asks for a standard
English or American cigaret probably
will be handed package with a
label closely resembling the trade
mark OF the original. The price will
be much less and frequently. pleased
with the bargain, the customer puts
the box in his pocket without close
ly examining 1t. Afterward he dis
covers that he has German cigaret
The few imported tobaccos on sale
are very expensive and those which
have not been smuggled in bear the
import tax stamp.
Street vendors OF tobacco, candies
and other articles display imported
tobaccos and German limitations side
by side, so that eventually purchasers
learn the difference and become wary
althos the German tobaccos are no,
inferior to some imported brands.
In some of the high class restau-
rants only immitation cigarets are
sold.
The. drug stores are perhaps ths
chief dispensers oe the German imi-
tntions. Imported toilet articles. and
particularly soap, shaving cream
tooth paste and face lotions are very
scarce, But all the we'll known
American brands have been initiated
Trade mark imitators have dis
played their best work in the saloons
Where whisky bottles bear the labels
OF well-known English manufactur-
, e-'t. But either the signature or the
brand or word in the name, Is In
vertcd, or the trade mark slightly
distorted. The bottles have beer
filled with German made. whisays
often white but sometimes colored
and the substance reeks of grair,
alcohol. The effect OF the drink is
about the same as that of the Gen

'moonshine.''
French liquors and imported gins
are virtually never sold.
The German inventive talent has
been carried further. to include all
sorts of wearing apparel. A suit OF
clothes, displayed in a window and
bearing a remarkably reasonable
price tag catches the eyes OF
the passers-by. Upon careful ex-
animation it will be found the cloth
Is made of paper. Many hats, caps
vests, trousers and even shirts are
made OF paper. Paper strings are in
general use.
Shoes which can be purchased for

American and English made cloths
have been so carefully initiated that
only an expert can detect the differ
ence.
