his advice to the housewife: Look at the turkey carefully. Remember you are buying turkey meat. Get a bird with a large proportion of meat in comparison with its bones. Small bones and big breast, that's what you want" he says. There must be some fat, too, for turkey fat improves the flavor of the meat.
 Get a young bird. You can tell youth in a turkey by the softness Of its meat, not by its size. The breast bone of a young turkey IS soft"
 But the best way to get a per- feet turkey our expert says, lis to have faith in your butcher. Buy only from a reliable butcher, one who wants to keep your trade and goodwill. Tell him exactly what you want and he will select the right bird for you. He knows more about turkeys than you can ever learn. That's his business"

For the past 10 years our Ameri- can turkeys have been getting big ger and bigger State agricultural colleges, the Department of Agri- culture and turkey breeders have cooperated to produce a bigger breasted, Smaller-boned and richer meated bird.
 This year big turkeys, ranging from 12 to 16 pounds, are the best buy. The smaller sizes, 8 to F pounds, will be harder to get and will cost more.
 Invest in a large tom turkey, even though yoar family is not large. Well-refrigerated, cooked turkey keeps well and you can use it all ill delicious specialties. The flavor and tenderness of large young turkey is equal to that of small hen turkey and the difference in price per pound will surprise your food budget. Large tom turkeys grow faster and are easier to raise than hen turkeys, therefore they can be sold on the market at lower prices.

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOming Yourself
By Alicia Hart

,NEA Service Stan Writer
 If you have firmly resolved that you, the hostess, are going to look at least as well as your house and trimmings do when this years Christmas guests arrive, don't wait another minute to figure out and write down ways to get all shop ping done before December fifteenth.
 Cards ought to be addressed by the same date. And there's no law against wrapping the presents you shopped for early, getting them addressed and ready for mailing soon after the fifteenth. Last-minute hurried sessions with wrapping paper and ribbons can be just as nerve wracking as last-minute shopping tours.
 ORDER GROCERIES
 BEFORE CHRISTMAS WEEK
 Remember to place your orders with the grocer, florist and meat. market a week before Christmas. Put the finishing touches on the children's costumes for the school pageant several days before they are to be worn. In other words, go through the hustle and hustle of details early instead oi late. Wear yourself all out early in December and then have a week of reasonable peace and quiet immediately pre- ceding Christmas.
 GET ENOUGH
 PRE- E-CHRISTMAS SLEEP
 Get the rest of the family to try to cooperate, to get their shop ping done, their cards addressed and final arrangements made for parties to be given and parties to be attended Don't be trapped into agreeing to let the bridge club meet at your house the day before your holiday house guests are expected. Don't agree to serve on more Christi mas entertainment committees than you absolutely know you'll have time for.
 Then plan to get enough sleep the week before Christmas, to have new permanent wave if you need it. to spend some time getting your face and your clothes in good order. You'll find that the holidays will be ten times as much as they were last year when you were so tired and harassed that you looked simply awful and felt even worse.

In one modern-day movie, you can see as many outfits that are advance style, in good taste and not too expensive, as you could find in a day of window shopping. Any young, dark-haired girl, for instance, could plan a complete wardrobe from the 12 suits and dresses that Howard Shoup designed for Brenda Marshalls role in South of Suez," TRAVELS FAR
 FROM SUEZ
 Don't let the title fool you" cautioned Shoup, as he showed me sketches and photos. "The story starts in Africa, but later on we get Brenda to London and she gets George Brent, so she's dressed up part of the time.
 Now, here's a soft yellow wool apron dress-she wears that on the country estate outside London. When she has to drive to Scotland Yard, she slings on this corduroy hat and coat-honey-beige, with huge pouch pockets and a fitted top and flared skirt.
 I don't suppose many women, when they're planning wardrobe, anticipate needing coat just to wear to Scotland Yard-though, of course, you never can tell. But this would fit into any fall or spring wardrobe. The wool dress is just the kind of thing they're going to wear under fur coats this winter.
 And this evening gown and din- her dress that she wears in the Lon don sequence ." Shoup showed me the two photographed here. The dinner dress with covered shoulders combined Alix jersey in flesh color with black cable net, stiff and weighty enough not to need petti- coat flounces.

PILES AND PEPT1C ULCER

In survey of the treatment of hemorrhoids (piles) made by Dr. N. J. Kilbourn (Annals of Surgery April, 1934) the replies of 20S proc- tologists in the United States and . Europe to a confidential question: naire tabulated thus:
 In 36468 cases treated by opera tion there were eleven deaths, seri-- ouS postoperative hemorrahage in 183 cases, subsequent structure in 68 cases, recurrence Subsequent att tacks of piles or continuation of old complaint) in 148 cases.
 Speaking of recurrence in rela- ton ,to hemorroids (piles) it ia well to remember that renovai or obliteration or "cure" of one or more piles which are causing pres- ent trouble does not irnnunize the patient against subsequent devel- opment of other piles the patient is just as likely to have piles. at any time in the future as is any one else. Hence recurrence" after an interval of months or years of freedom or comfort hardly indi- cateS failure or treatment.
 In 26,262 cases treated by injec- ton there were no deaths, serious post injection hemorrhage in 45 cases, subsequent Stricture in one case, recurrence in 966 cases.
 At the time this survey was made the ambulant or injection treatment was still new departure, to 8 large portion of the general pro- fesSion, and many practitioners who were honest but dumb were still drowning upon the injection treatment or even advising patients not to submit to it and urging tilean to enter hospital for the radical operation. In the six years since Kilbourn published his findings the injection treatment of hemor. rhoidS and other rectal troubles has advanced extraordinarily in tech nic and popularity. Today nJ physician who is abreast of prog reSs and has the, best interest of his patient at heart would attempt to deny that the method is he method of choice in every case, un- less there happens to be some ex- ceptional or unusual complication which warrants more radical treat ment.
 This modern treatment for con- dition which makes life miserable for too many victims is practically painless and does not retain the patient from ordinary activities more that a few minutes at each seance, and in many cases brings prompt and enduring relief in two or three seanceS. Indeed, now that progressive physicians everywhere are treating hemorrhoids success fully with injection, it would seem that the pamphlet I mail on re- quest, if you enclose a stamped en- velope bearing your address, is ap- propriately titled Tt Is Stupid To Suffer From Piles" If you hate to acknowledge you're stupid. just ask for the pamphlet, monograph, fold- CT, trea tise, leafiet or whatever you please to call it on hemorrhoids or piles.
 Dr. T. F. McNamara of Rochester, N. Y, whose manual Essentials of Injection Treatment" Med- ical Pres, 1934 has guided many physicians along the right path, has observed clinically a reflex or sympathetic, possibly a causative relation between internal hemor- rhoids and peptic ulcer, especially when the piles are in the anterior quadrant. Obliteration of such piles brings astonishing relief to the ulcer symptoms in such cases.

QUESTIONS X ANSWERS Fifteen Thousand Units

How much vitamin A does a per- son need day? I am taking 50 units a day I read in .. that the daily requirements is 800 or 900 units-maybe 1t was typographical error and meant 30 or 90 units. (F. R)
 Answer-It was rather an error of fact A glass of milk contains per- haps 600 units of vitamin A. A tablespoonful of fish liver oil con- tains about 10000 units of vitamin A. A capsule of natural vitamin A contains 25,000 units, and the mini mum daily requirement. is probably 2O0O to 5000 units. An optimal daily ration would be 15,000 to 5O,- OO0 units. As for taking 50 units, that is scarcely worth bothering about.

 Q. How can I keep bread dough at 8 constant temperature of about 82 degrees F?
 A. The bread bowl or pan may be covered and set in water. Ordin- arily. when the temperature of the room is much lower than 80 de- grees, the water in the outer pan should be about 90 to 95 degree.
 O. Please give me a recipe for a solution for washing badly soiled furniture.
 A. To one quart of hot water, add three tablespoons of boiled linseed oil, and one tablespoon of turpen- tine. and keep it in a double boiler while using. First. wasn't the wood with soft cloth dipped in the solu- tion and then polish it with a dry cloth. Furniture polish may be used for final polishing.
 Q. What causes by rosebushes to produce blossoms of inferior shape and color? What should I do for them? ..
 A. Evidently the rosebush was budded on to wild rose stock, and the budded portion has been winter killed or destroyed by cankerous growth. The only thing to do is to replace the bush with another. The wild stock is easily distinguished by its to leaflets, compared with the 5 leaflets of the cultivated rose.

 It must seem odd after having been married for years to dis cover that a psychologist warns young women against marrying the very kind of man one is al- ready tied to by love, and law.
 And yet this is bound to happen often.
 NOW SHE CAN BLAME PARENTS
 Mrs. X. who married an "only child" finds that the psychologists say only children aren't good matri- monial risks. Until she read that she had just shrugged off her hus- bands faults with That's just like Henry or the more inclusive That's just like man.
 Now she can see that all his shortcomings are caused because his parents had no other children.
 Mrs. Y.-after reading that the child of quarrelsome parents is a poor matrimonial bet decides that's why George got so upset only that morning because there was button OH ms last clean shirt. She has found an explana- ton for every other grouch that ever descended or ever will de- Scend on George.
 Are these women, and all the others who discover belatedly that they have assumed poor matrimonial risks, going to be bet ter wives for knowing that fate was against them from the start?
 The answer is probably No" WHATEVER HAPPENS HUSBANDS LOSE OUT
 Whenever anything goes wrong in the marriage, Henry or George will be to blame,
