c, are also in the markets. And
vitamin rich fish oils are plentiful
enough for all.
Even such details of dietary adj
justment as milk modifers are easily
controlled. For when baby needs
extra sweet to keep pace with his
increasing energy demands, milk
modifiers, that will bolster the sugar
content of his diet, are still avail
able.
One such modifer, regarded fa-
vorably by mothers and medical
men alike, is good old-fashioned
honey. Honey is splendid source
of extra sweet. Because of the types
of sugars it contains-dextrose and
levulose-honey is easily digested,
And the delicate, fowerlike flavor,
the rare fragrance of good honey, is
delight to nearly all.
Some other kinds of milk modi-
fiers may be scarce in certain Sec
tons of the country. Some are al
ready rationed. But SO long as bees
sail through the summer sunshine
slipping nectar, our babies will be
assured a good supply of this whole
some savory sweet.

is therefore lift to have some
Serviceman write in telling the
home folks the very same story.
Bill, we hope that the friends of
yours who read this letter of yours
in the column will get in touch
with you by mail-not only the
initial time. but follow up with
plenty of repeats. Best of luck to
you soldier, and may your wish
about the limited duration of this
war come true. Right now, it's
anybody's guess about the Eu-
ropean struggle, with the Jap Rats
to follow. The Boys are apparent
ly doing quite a good job in all
areas, and on all battle fronts, but
it is still a big job to look forward
to and we must not let up one
single bit until the work is COM
lpleted. 1 know that you feel the
same way about this issue.

Dear Dribbles:
For sometime past 1 have been
a constant reader of your informa-
tive news about Our Boys and Girls
in the Service. May I congratulate
you on the good job being done.
Through this column we can get in
touch with a lot of our Buddies.
Ever since I entered the U. S.
Army have intended sending you
my address. Now that the time
has arrived I would like you to
place it on your Honor Roll so that
some of my friends will be able to
see it, and drop me letter from
time to time. There is nothing a
service man likes better than get
ting mail from the folks back
home.
1t was my pleasure to be a guest
at the Y. M. c. A. in Youngstown,
Ohio, on Christmas Eve. In the
lobby of this building large map
of U. S. A. hangs. Attached to
each State in the Union is a hook
made to hold cards bearing visiting
Servicemen's names. Since I was
born and raised in Delaware, and a
true Delawarean at heart, 1 hung
my card on the State of Delaware
hook, and started to read the other
names that were there. I wanted
to see if I knew any of the boys.
No one from my home town of
Townsend, Delaware was present,
but there was one fellow, Private
Clarence M. Emerson, Smyrna, Del
aware in the crowd. I'm not &C.
quainted with this man, but will
write him if you can send me his
present address.
Here's hoping that the war will
soon end so we can all be home
again.

Welcome to the column, Pvt.
Naylor. Your letter was received
in time to publish your address on
our Honor Roll under the date of
January 18th, but we're just find
ing space for your full communica-
tion in the present issue. If you
have been reading Dribbles for
sometime, you are no doubt aware
that names, both new and changes
of address, are published practical
ly always in the next issue follow
ing, whereas letters are taken up in
the sequence of their arrival. Drib-
bles thinks that this is the only
plan that can be followed which
gives each contributor an equal OPP
portunity without favor. This is
the policy, and we trust that you
agree with the editor, in his at
tempt to make all persons equal in
so far as their treatment in this
column is concerned. So, now that
you have broken the ice, as it were,
drop in on us again from time to
time, Dribbles will be glad to hear
from you at any time. Be sure and
send in your changes of address
that follow.
The name of Clarence Emerson
you found on the Delaware hook, at
the Youngstown, Ohio, Y. c. A. is
a boy from here. Strange enough,
he was from your own Regiment at !
the time you saw his name there.
At the present moment, Clarence
is over there where things are
warming up. His overseas address

bles. If you want his full address,

Here's Thanksqiuinq Dinner
By FLORENCE BROBECK
Women's Editor

NNE. or the Almanac'S regular fans said
~ few days ago that he didn't mind at all
that the turkey crop was low for this November.
There's plenty of chicken" he added, mot
only on my farm, but all over the country.
And that's what I'm going to cook for our
Thanksgiving dinner"
Being fearless, as editors have to be, I asked
him If he would cook that dinner twice-once
ahead of schedule, for you, and let me have the
recipes for 1t so could get them into the AL
manac In time for your own dinners. He
agreed although he Is one OF the busiest men
In America.
Singing Former
THIS fan and cook and farmer is Barry Wood,
whom you hear regularly over the air
waves for he sings and is master of ceremonies
on a program every Saturday night. When not
rehearsing, or heading bend-sel1ing tours,
singing in war hospitals, he works hard at
farming His eghty-five acre place In Connect
cut is home to about five thousand chickens
and he regularly markets large quantities of
eggs. There are some cows and pigs, too, all
of which take Barry's time from six every
morning to we'll after dark every night, five
days week. He has one hired man and some
times he has help from one of the neighbors.
This singing farmer not only likes to grow
food but he Is good cook, too. He Is famed
for the more snowy barbecue feasts he and
his family stage In the summer for their
makes in the farm kitchen and at their New
York apartment.
Barry Is roasting large chicken this year
for their Thanksgiving In town. And II was In
the town kitchen that he cooked this ahead-of-
time dinner for me (and the photographer.
The menu Is for his family of four and two
guests. Here it is below, and the recipes for IL:

The Chicken

THE cleaned roa sti n e
] chicken is stuffed and
trusSed and left in the re-

is to be cooked. This saves
time on Thanksgiving Day.
Before roasting it, Barry
Wood rubS the chicken with
a paste made with flour,
margarine, salt, pepper and
a little paprika, which helps
1t to brown. He sets the
fowl breast.side down in a
roasting pan, does not cover
ii and keeps the oven at
moderate heat 300 Deg. FL,
allowing about two hours
for roasting. He turns the
fowl over after the first
half hour of cooking and he
basteS it every half hour
with the juices in the pan,
adding to them little
melted butter or margarine
and a little hot water. (He

Dems Win Substantial
Plurality in Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. g. up
Late returns from Tuesday s
election today delivered to the
Democrats a plurality Of at least
| 40 members in the House, build
ing up the most impressive par
~ gain in that body since the
first Roosevelt victory in 1882.
Democrats maintained firm
control of the Senate. Five hot
undecided contests obscured
the exact size of the majority.
The Democratic gain in the
435-member House apparently
assured President Roosevelt an
easier relationship with this
body where often in recent
months Republicans and anti
administration Democrats have
joined to control important leg
islation.
The late returns showed this
House lineup:
Democrats elected 241.
Republicans elected l79.
Minor parties elected 2.
Seats still in doubt -.
Four of the undecided House
seats are in Missouri and will
not be decided until tomorrow
when absentee ballots are count
ed.
This contrasted with the pre-
sent hairline House division of
PA Democrats, PIP Republicans
and four minor party members.
There now are five vacancies,
due TO death and designations.
In 1888. when the New Deal
came to Washington, the Demo
Gratis increased their number Of
House seats by almost 100, haV-
ing a total of 3l3. In 1885 the
number was upped TO 1922, in
1887 TO 1913. In 1889 the num-
Der of Democratic seats dropped
to 1852; IN 1871 it increased by
five to 267, and declined again
in 1913 TO 222.
The new Congress, with the
much stronger Democratic com
plexion in the House, Convenes
January 3. The old Congress
functions until that time.
