Ia teaspoon thyme.
12 teaspoon ground sage.

1-2 onion, minced.
stalks celery, cut up small.
12 cup boiling water.
Baking the Turkey
Draw and singe tender young
turkey. Remove the oil sac and all
pinfeathers. Cleanse thoroughly and
wipe dry. Rub the surface over with
sprinkling of pepper. Stuff with the
above dressing, which has been tested
by the United States Department of
Agriculture:
Scissors may be used to cut up the
stale bread. Cook the celery and on
ion in the butter five minutes. Mix
with the bread, baking powder, season
ings, and hot water and fill the cavity
of the turkey. If moist rather than
fluffy dressing is preferred use more
water. If there is any surplus it may
be cooked in separate dish, basted
with the drippings from tie pan and
served with the dinner. The amount
suggested above was sufficient to stuff
a turkey weighing little over SIX
pounds before being drawn.
The turkey may be started in an
oven temperature of 450 f. if double
roasting pan is dsed. If it is young
and tender it viii be done in one and
a half hours, during the latetr part of
which the temperature may be slight

bird will require considerably longer

will not dry out. The use Of a

the entire turkey will insure juicy,

dough enough for a small 6-pound
turkey 2 cups of flour were used, with

How To Keep Your Blood
Pure and Wholesome
IT Is the Person With Rch Red Normal Bood-The Person
OF Health and Energy-That Meets With Bus
and Social Success
Lowered Vitality Is Usually to Waste Products in the Blood

When your blood is impoverished
and loaded with waste products, you
don't get the full strength out of your
food, and as consequence, you be-
come weak, nervous, and easily upset.
Waste products get into the blood
mainly through the intestines, but
there are other sources-for instance,
the glands. Some glands secrcte di-
gestive juices, while others excrete
waste products. If they fail to prop
erly function, waste products accu-
mulate.
AS result, nature strives to cast
off the poisons. 1t may be through
the skin in the form Of some skin dis
order, but it is not infrequent for it
to settle in the muscles and joints
and cause rheumatism.
For over SO years, thousands and
thousands of men and women have
relied on S. S. S. to clear their blood

A THANKSGIVING TURKEY
HAS NO REAL SUBSTITUTE
Plenty of Turkey and Few Frills Best
Please the Holiday Guests-GOOd
Stuffing Adds to Attractiveness
of Feast-A New Way of Baking
the Royal Bird.

A Thanksgiving dinner should have
an air Of festivity, but at the same
time it should not be too heavy or in
volvc too much work in it's prepara-
ton. If turkey is to be the prin-
cipal feature, the family will be i'm
patient to see the big platter brought
in; it is likely therefore that courses
such as fruit or oyster cocktails, or
soup, preceding the hearty part of the
dinner, will not be fully appreciated.
In some households it may seem ad-
visable to include a light soup, like
tomato or consomme, to "make the
turkey go farther" but the family is
perhaps justified in feeling that as
Thanksgiving comes but once a year
the rules of economy may well be laid
aside: A good stuffing adds to the at
tractivcness of the feast without caus-
ing extra cooking or dishes to wash.
A Simple Thanksgiving Menu
Roast stuffed turkey, with giblet
Candid sweet potatoes.
Creamed whole cauliflower.
Cranberry ice.
Beet or or green tomato pickles.
Rolls.
Individual pumpkin pies.
Coffee.
The above menu can be prepared
easily from materials obtainable in

Bird Club Notes

Out in Aberdeen, in the state of
Washington, there is fine up-to-
date bird club which was organized
by Miss Hazel Berwin, the assist
ant librarian of the town. The
members hold their meetings in the
library where they have a chance
to read books on the subject Of
birds. To help show their appreci-
alton of what the library has done
for them they have added a large
number of fine pictures of birds to
the library.
The, boys in this club add to their
fund of knowledge by taking long
hikes into the woods and across the
fields in which the birds make their
homes. But best of all, they have
made some splendid homes for their
little feathered friends.
These club members realize that
millions of birds in America have
to thank Uncle Sam for all that he
has done to protect them. In the
United States there are now many
national bird reservations within
whose limits it is unlawful to kill
birds or modest their nests.
The boys have learned, too, that
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1921-02-24

while some sorts of birds are de-
structive to fruit and growing crops,
there would be much less fruit and
much smaller crops if there were no
birds to destroy tree and plant in
sects, without considering the
brightness and beauty they give to
the land We are all being "edu-
Gated up" to protect birds of every
sort.
The "bird bungalows" that these
boys have made will give some good
idea to other bird clubs and to other
schools interested in providing
homes for the merry singers.
Wouldn't you love to have pair
OF wrens nest ng in your yard in
your bird house? Or, better yet,
what if you grew real ambitious
and tried to attract a colony of
martins? Who'll be first.

Walnut for Farm Planting

The Japanese walnut offers posi-
bilities for landowners who are seek
ing to plant nut trees for shade or
other purposes, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t is nearly as hardy as
the black walnut and is by no means
uncommon in northern and eastern
states, where it is especially appro-
pirate for farm and door-yard plant
ing. For the present, seeding
trees will have to be relied upon al
most entirely, as very few budded
or grated trees are available.
This nut has been confused with
the Persian Or so-called English wal
nut, although the two are quite UNI
like. The japanese is dwar6sh
species, with dull green rough leaf
let's, often as many as Is or IL to the
leaf, and bear nuts in racemes of a
dozen or more.
The shells are thinner than those
of the black walnut, but thicker
than those of the better Persian
walnuts. The flavor of the kernels
is much like that of the American
butternut.

King scorned Tobacco

So violent dislike did King
James of England take to tobacco
in all its forms that he finally
reached a point where he sat down
and wrote what he called "a
Counterblaste to Tobacco, the In
vention of Satan" The final para
graph of the booklet eclipses any,
thing the bitter pens of modern
anti-tobacco crusaders have at
tempted. Itran:
1t is a custom loathsome to the
eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to
the brain, dangerous to the lungs,
and in the black, sinking fumes
thereof nearest resembling the horri-
bic Stygian smoke of the pit that
is bottomless."
The example of a kingly distaste
excited Burton, who declared to-
bacco to be "a plague, a mischiefe,
a violent purger of goods, lands,
health, hellish, devilish and damned
tobacco, the RUNE and overthrow
of body and soule."

A TOO S

The publication of the book by former Secrc-
tary Tunlulty on the activities Of President Wilson
during his eight years in the White House has
brought forth a great deal of comment, the charac-
ter OF the comment necessarily varying according
to the point of view. But the book brings out strik-
ingly one fact on which there appears to be little
room for difference of opinion, namely, that the
president of the United States has too MANY things
to do.
1t is true that the war period was one of un-
usual tension, and many men were taxed to the
limit of their strength by extra duties which the
war imposed on them. This was conspicuously
true of the president. But If the president is not
busy running a war he is busy with other highly
important work, the responsibilities of an arma-
ment conference, the shaping of fiscal and other
policies for recommendation to congress, and other
things vital to the nation. And with all these
weighty matters to consider, he has thousands of
relatively petty things to decide, and if his decisions
some thought and some care.
The executive duties which the president Of
the United States is called on to perform are more
to himself, to the tremendously important subjects
which merit his best thought and effort, and to the
minor things which, While not vital, are important
enough to require that they be we'll done. No head
Of a great business corporation feels that he can
afford to burden himself in this manner. When
the business of his concern becomes so complex
that minor matters are likely to detract from the
attention which should be given to the larger and
broader issues, he reorganizes his work so that
more OF the details can be cared for by subordinates.
The president has many Of his duties imposed on
him by congress. 1t is the business of congress to
relieve him in the interest of efficient government.
