este turkeys have been found attached 20 pu-
eblos and cliff dwellings in excavated ruins OF
untold centuries ago.
The Spaniards who conquered Mexico found
turkeys, both wild and domesticated in that
country as early as 1919 and 1t no less a
person than Cortez's own confessor, Fra Aga
pda, who wrote back to Spain from Mexico the
following There is bird, much greater in big
ness than peacock, that is found within the
forests and vegas all over this country. 1t sur
passes as food any wild bird we have found up
with arrows and catch them in various kinds of
springes and snares
Specimens of this splendid fowl were almost
Immediately sent back to Spain and the Jewish
merchants, who were the leading dealers in such
commodities at the time, thought they looked
more like peacocks than anything else. The
Hebrew word for peacock was "tukki," from a
Hindu word "toka," meaning trailing skirt y
and these merchants began calling them "tukkis'
or American tukkis." Soon the word "tukki'
became corrupted to turkey and led to a con-
fusion as to their origin, even though they were
of American rather than Turkish nativity
From Spain the new decacy from the New
world spread to other parts of Europe and
won instant favor. Turkeys were taken to Persia
by Armenans, and to Batavia by the Dutch. In
France-where the turkey was, and is, called
"dinde' because they believed it hailed from
India-the bird was first served for the wedding
feast of the lively young Charles X and Elz-
abeth of Austria Twelve turkeys were consid-
cred fine enough for a royal gift from the mer-
chants of Amiens to Charles. By the middle of
the century, England met the bird and in an
other 20 years it was being plentifully raised
in various sections of Great Britain.
And now comes one of the curious paradoxes
of history, in that this native American" be-
came an immigrant to the shores of his own
land. In 1929 a letter written to Governor Endi-
colt in Salem, Mass, by his agents in London
assured him that tame turkies shall be sent
you by the nexte shppe" So in a short time
the New England variety of the North Amer
ican wild turkey was being mixed with his part
ly domesticated descendant from Mexico via
England-thus completing a curious 100year,
roGnd-the-world tour.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-11-18

II is probable that not one turkey in a thou
sand which will grace the Thanksgiving table
this year will be native wild turkey. For the
original New England wild turkey (Meleagres
Americana) is all but extinct in the part of the
country where he first made his appearance
on that festal board. The wild turkey of today
(Meleagres gaapavo silvestris) according to
ornithologists, is found in greatly reduced num-
bers only from Pennsylvania and Ohio south to
the gulf states and west to Arkansas. There
is a smaller variety, the Florida wild turkey,
in that state in southern Texas is another, the
Rio Grande turkey and in the Rocky mountain
region. another Merriam's turkey. All modern
domesticated turkeys are derived from the Mex
lean wild turkey (Meleagres Mexicana) of the
earliest days From him comes the exquisite pen
Cling of modern domesticated turkeys.
But to get back to why the turkey occupies
such a prominent place Thanksgiving
day dinner table-of that first celebration, held
in Plymouth in 1921, Edward Winslow wrote
back to England as follows:
"Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor
sent foure men on fowling, that so we might
after more special manner rejoyce together,
after we had gathered in the fruit of la
bours; they foure in one day killed as much
fowle, as with little help beside, served the
company almost a week, at which time amongst
other recreations we exercised our Armes, many
of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst
the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with
some ninety men, whom for three days we en-
tertained and feasted, and they went out and
killed five Deere, which they brought to the
Plantation and bestowed on our Governor, and
upon the Captaine (Standish) and Others"
There is no doubt that chief among the
"fowle" at this feast was the native wild tur-
key However, according to Mary Austin, Our
elevation of the turkey to the place of honor
on the Thanksgiving dinner table is not entire
y owing to its traditional Importance to the
first American Thanksgiving day; it is a trib-
ute to the homemaking instinct of the Puritan
women who made the turkey brood a part of
that association of men and their wild breth-
rem which is inseparabe from the human idea
of home. The Indians domesticated the turkey
chiefly for his feathers, which they priced But
/ have no doubt that the English housewife,
arriving chickenless, got her first feeling of
being at home from the brOodng cluck of the
turkey hen about her door"

Lost 20 Lbs. of Fat
In Just a Weeks

Mrs. Mae West of st. Louis, Mo-,
writes: 'Tm only % yrs. old and
weighed 10 lbs. until taking one box
of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. I now weigh 80 lbs. I also
have more energy and furthermore
I've never had hungry moment"
Fat folks should take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast-it's the SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at any drug store-the
cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks
is but a trifle and if after the first
bottle you are not joyfully satisfied
with results-money back.

Indigestion, biliousness, etc, that
their stomach and bowels are out of
order.
In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders,
by the quick and gentle way it re-
moves all the souring waste which is
causing the trouble, regulates the
stomach and bowels and gives these
organs tone and strength so they
continue to act normally of their own
accord. Children love its rich, fruity
flavor and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved it's
merit and reliability in over so years
of steadily increasing use. A West,
ern mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Mont
rose, California, says: my little girl,
Edna's, tendency to constipation was
a problem to me until 1 began giving
her California Fig Syrup. 1t helped
her right away and soon her stomach
and bowels were acting perfectly.
Since then I've never had to have
any advice about her bowels. have
also used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success"

EYSY But before proceeding with a dis

be amiss to consider the origin of that typical
ly American expression ito talk turkey" If a
certain tradition is to be believed, 1t had it's
origin In an incident which is as typcally Amer
ican is the custom of observing a Thanks
giving day on the last Thursday in November
and making it feast day of typically- American
edibles, chief of which is the native American
turkey.
Away back in the early days Uust when no
one seems to know in of the thirteen colo
nies (it cannot be stated positirely which one
although from certain aspects of the incident
the suspicion arises that Yankee was one of
the actors,) an Indian and white man agreed
TO hunt together for a day and then to divide
the spos. This they did and the division pro-
ceeded agreeably enough until only crow and
a turkey remained.
Thereupon the white man, volubly frank and
seemingly generous in manner, said Now you
may have the and I'll take the turkey;
or I'll take the turkey and you may have the
crow" But the red man not so easily taken
in by this glib proposal and replied Indignantly
Huh Why you no talk turkey to me?" And
ever since that time, says the legend when
a person began to dssemble to conceal his real
meaning in a superfuity of words. to attempt to
put over something another, it became time
for the other to advise him TO talk turkey"

IS just possible that he might have been our ma

gestiOn made by jolly old Ben Franklin had been
followed And thereby hangs the tale of the
first coins and seals that came from the mint
when the new republic of the United States of
America was established. These were rather
crude affairs and the eagle on them looked very
much like turkey-and a s.. ghtly tipsy turkey
at that Whereupon Franklin wrote this com
ment: Il not displeased that the figure is
not known as bald eagle, but looks more like
turkey For in truth, the turkey is in com
parison a much more respectable bird, and with
al a true native of America. He is besides

not the emblem for that bird of cour

adler of the British guards, who should pre-
sumo to enter his farmyard with a red coat on"
Franklin quite right in calling the turkey
true native of America" That he was one
of the authentic first Americans Is proved by
