USING LEFTOVERS

DERHAPS a glance at what other
cooks have done with the leftovers
of feasts will help to use those that
are daily problems in most homes.
Chicken is the one meat that is not
hard to serve in leftover dishes. A
cupful will make delightful salad
mixed with tender celery, and less than
a cupful, mixed with crumbs and sea-
soning, will stuff tomatoes or peppers.
The following is good recipe to keep
on hand:
Stuffed Peppers.
Slice from the stem end of each pep
per, making cup, removing the seeds
and white fiber. Parboil the peppers
in boiling water five minutes, then
drain and chill. For six peppers use
the following: Two tablespOonfuls of
minced onion cooked in three table
spoonfuls of oil, add one and one half
cupfuls of bread crumbs and one-fourth
of cupful of minced chicken. Season
with salt and pepper and add one-half
cupful of stock. Mix well, stuff the
peppers, place them in a little water
in gem pans to bake. Cover the tops
with buttered crumbs and when they
are well Drowned the peppers will be
ready to serve.

Plea to Purchase
Christmas Seals
1886 Sale Has Not Reached Quota
Need Is Imperative-On Sale
At Federated Store

In the war on tuberculosis the
Christmas Seal sale was opened
on THANKSGIVING Day, and has con-
tinued with success, although the
goal set has not been reached. This
sale will continue until December
31st, 1896.
These penny seals of mercy are
on sale at the Federated Store and
may be purchased in any amount
one may desire. Their use and pur-
chase should be encouraged for the
need for funds in the battle against
the white plague is imperative.
Through these seals sanitariums
have been built and are being fin
anced, funds have been acquired
for scientific study for the relief
and cure of patients suffering with
tuberculosis, and cures for the
dread disease, which was believed
incurabie, have been found. This
work deserves the support of every
one.
In this connection we publish
the following report from the Seal
Sale Committee for this commun-
ity.
1.-THE Seal Sale for Sank Centre
in 1885 was $173.30. To date the Seal
Sale for 1896 is $162.35. $175.00 is
our quota. To the citizens Of Sank
Centre: Let us go over the top and
make 1885 our banner year. The

about two weeks.
|, Mr.. Hansen stated Wednesday

be modern in every respect. The
pre- sent face brick on the front
will be removed and replaced with
new brick on modern construction
lines. The new front will be OF
modernistic type, with center en-
trance and the store will be mod
ern throughout.
Weather conditions will have
much to do with the completion of
the building. The arrangements
now being made are temporary, and
actual work of reconstruction will
be commenced at q later date.

5000 CHRISTMAS
CARDS SENT OUT
FROM LOCAL POST
OFFICE ON MONDAY

Ever-increasing in volume,
the business at the local post
office reached q new high Mon
day, according to a statement
made Tuesday by Assistant
Postmaster Roy Scott. The gen.
eral run Of business for the hol-
idays at the post office this year
has been a trifle better than
the average.
But Monday was one Of the
busiest days ever experienced at
the local department, for 804
packages were mailed at the
window and $500 Christmas
cards were cancelled by local
clerks and sent on their way
bearing messages Of good will
to distant friends and relatives.
This huge Christmas mailing did
not include packages and cards
sent into the local post office
for distribution, hence, It IL
easy to realize that the person
mel Of the department was tax
ed to It's utmost.
