A THANKSGIVIK TUREY 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 volve too much work in its prepara tion. If a turkey is to be the prin cipal feature, the family will be im 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 soul), 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 <' economy may well be laid aside. A good stufling adds to the at tractivene's of the feast without caus ing extra cooking or dishes to wash. A Simple Thanksgiving Menu Roast stuffed turkey, with giblet gravey. Candid sweet potatoes. Creamed whole cauliflower. Cranberry ice. fleet or or green tomato pickles. Rolls. Individual pumpkin pies. Coffee. The above menu can be prepared easily from materials obtainable in most parts of the country at Thanks giving season. Mashed white pota toes or rice could be used instead of the sweet poratoes, and some other creamed green vegetable may be sub stituted it cauliflower is not to be had. Cranberry ice may be an inno vation and at the same time add to the holiday aspect of the dinner. Or dinary muffin tins may be used to make individual shells for the pump kin pies, which are attractive when How To Keep Y Pure d ft Is the Person With Rich, Re of Health and Energy ness and So A Lowered Vitality Is UsuaHy Du When your blood is impoverished and loaded with waste products, you don't get the full strength out of your food, and as a 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 secrete di gestive juices, while others excrete waste products. If they fail to prop erly function, waste products accu mulate. As a result, nature strives to cast off the poisons. It 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.

Stuffing The Turkey 6 cups finely broken stale bread. 2 teaspoons salt. 2-0 teaspoon pepper. 1-4 teaspoon thyme. 1-2 teaspoon ground sage. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1--4 pound butter. 1-2 onion, minced. 4 stalks celery, cut up small. 1-2 cup boiling water. Baking the Turkey Draw and singe a tender young turkey. Remove the oil sac and all pinfeathers. Cleanse thoroughly and wipe dry. Rub the surface over with butter and a little salt, also a light 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 a moist rather than a fluffy dressing is preferred use more water. If there is any surplus it may be cooked in a separate dish, basted with the drippings from the pan and served with the dinner. The amount suggested above was sufficient to stuff a turkey weighing a little over six pounds. before being drawn. The turkey may be started in an oven temperature of 450 F. if a double roasting pan is dsed. If it is young and tender it v ill be done in one and a half hours, during the latetr part of which the temperature may be slight ly reduced. A large, heavy, or old bird will require considerably longer baking. Keep the bottom of the roast ing pan well covered with water dur ing the roasting so that the turkey will not (ry out. The use of a "blanket" of biscut dough spread over the entire turkey will insure a juicy, tender bird. With a "blanket" the top of the roaster is omitted. To make dough enough for a small 6-pound turkey 2 cups of flour were used, with 1 teaspoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, and enough water to our Blood md Wholesome d, Normal Blood-The Person -That Meets With Busi. :ial Success. to Waste Products in the Blood. of waste products.

Rockwell, Author of "Around the Year In the Garden," "The Gard ener's Pocket Manual," etc., etc. Article No. 1 There are many plants which may be set outgto better advantage in the fall than in the spring. Any time af ter the first fall frosts, when growth above ground conies to a standstill, will do for transplanting. This is especially true of ornanien tal shrubs and "hardy" flowers for the garden. All sorts of "hardy peren nials" such as make up the "olrd fash ioned hardy border"-which is now new-fashioned again!-may be set out from now on until the ground begins to freeze. Shrubs, and most decidious trees, can be planted as long as the ground is not frozen and "lumpy" when the planting is being done. The cold will not hurt the plants; it is a matter of having plenty of finely pul verized, mellow soil to pack in tight around the newly set roots. Grain a Year On Many Things There are many advantages in planting in the fall instead of waiting for spring. The advantage appealing most to the amateur, perhaps, is the time gained. On many early-flowering things, this amounts to a whole sea son! You know how ydu waited for the first flower on a newly set-uf plant or shrub.

It's a waste of time, labor and money in making repairs -(or doing new work) with lumber that will rot out quickly. "HeWho Uses Cypiess Builds But Once." Cypress lasts and lasts and lasts and practically refuses to wear out or rot out. That's the kind of lumber to buy and use. Cypress means "double money's-worth," and often more if you BUY THE GRADE THAT FITS THE JOB. For many uses the lower grades are exactly the thing. This fact gives wise buyers a still further advantage over those who simply order "some lumber." You see the point.
