It must, first of all, be well selected, a delicately fla vored stuffing for (he roast chicken and turkey, a more strongly fla vored one for the roast goose or duck, writes Helen Robertson in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Second, it must be perfectly sea soned. Not too strongly to over whelm the deliciousness of the bird, nor yet so bland in taste as to be uninteresting. Third, it must be of the proper consistency, not too moist, nor yet too dry. And fourth, there must be enough. Bread being the usual foundation of the dressing, let us talk of it first. All kinds of breads may be three-fourths to two pounds of bread may be used. And for the smaller bird, one pound and under should be sufficient. Celery, oysters, mushrooms, chestnuts, the other ingredients you will use are of course dependent upon your own personal tastes and upon the bird you are serving. Here is a basic recipe for dressing for the twelve to fifteen-pound bird. Bread Dressing.

Pour over them melted butter and enough boiling water or Stock from cooking giblets and neck to moisten. In adding butter and stock, toss the ingredients together lightly with a fork. Never press them together. If you like onion in dressing, saute one or two slices in a portion of the butter before adding it to the dress ing. For oyster dressing omit giblets, add one pint of oysters cut in half and the oyster liquor, well strained. To make mushroom dressing saute one-half pound mushrooms, sliced, in a portion of the butter and mbt with bread crumbs. In using the mushrooms celery may be omitted or a smaller amount used. Chestnut dressing is usually liked. To make it, prepare one-half pound chestnuts, chopping them rather fine. Mix with bread. Sausage dressing is another favor ite. One-half pound is sufficient for this amount. Cook it over a low fire fifteen minutes before adding to the dressing. For the roast duck or goose you will And this rice and prune stuffing tasty: Brown three tablespoons of finely minced onion in two tablespoons butter. Add one cup well washed, drained rice. Let simmer until rice is slightly browned. Then add four cups soup stock or water in which bouillon cubes have been dissolved, eight or nine cooked prunes, pitted, and one teaspoon salt. Cook over very low fire or over hot water until rice is tender. Season well. Bread Cat late Small Cubes Makes Better Dressing. used in the dressing providing the white bread predominates. Cold biscuits, pieces of corn bread, slices of toast, slices of whole wheat and of rye may all be used. Use part crust too, as well as the crumb. The bread should be dry and if part or all is lightly toasted, so much the better. And bread cut into small cubes makes better dressing than when crumbed. For the very large turkey, up ward of eighteen or nineteen pounds, two and one-half to three pounds of bread will be needed for the dressing, while for the smaller bird of around ten pounds, one and A CANDIDATE “ANNOUNCES** O N THE morning of April 4, 1900, the New York World printed what has been described as "one of the most curious announcements of a presidential candidac> ever made, one of the most naive dec larations ever given out by any man who had even the briefest parts in American politics." Admiral George Dewey, the “He ro of Manila," had given an inter view in which he said in part: “If he American people want me for this high office, I shall be only too willing to serve them . . . Since studying this subject I am con vinced that the office of the Presi dent is not such a very difficult one to fill, his duties being mainly o execute the laws of Congress. Should I be chosen for this exalted position I would execute the laws of Congress as faithfully a^ I have always executed the orders of my superior." “Not such a difficult office to fill," indeed! That was a jolt to the hero worshiping American public. Al ready it had begun to suspect that its idol had feet of clay. It had gone wild over his victory in the Philippines. Upon his return to America, it gave him. the recep tion such as few conquering heroes had. It had built a triumphal arch in his honor in New York and had raised money to buy a house in Washington for him. Not long after his return, he had taken a second wife who was much younger than he was and he had deeded the gift house to her. That didn’t sit so well with his worshipers, nor did the social ambitions of his new wife. Moreover, a matter of re ligious prejudice was injected into the gossip about the Deweys. Dewey had been approached on the subject of being a candidate for President and had disclaimet any such ambition. But a "Stop Bryan!" element in the Democrat ic party had persisted in promot ing his candidacy and at last he yielded to the temptation. Then he made his amazing an nouncement and the public im mediately turned against him. Where he had been previously praised, he was now ridiculed. His candidacy was generally character ized as the “climax to a series of unfortunate mistakes." As quick ly as that candidacy had blos somed, it withered. America ap parently would elect a military hero President, as witness William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant. But, as for a naval hero,—George Dewey was the first, and so far, the last, to find out that a sea dog isn't wanted in the White House! URGED THANKSGIVING 'T'RADITION has it that e -*■woman was responsible for establishing the modem Thanks giving day on the last Thursday of November.

On the walk to church, while plowing or planting, even while courting there was the evil face of death looking on and the man must have in his hand the tool to beat it off.

C Bell Syndicate.—WNU Serrioc A STURDY CAMPAIGNER 'INHERE is a physical side to this business of campaigning for the presidency. In the earlier days, candidates went personally into the hinter lands, making, not one-night stands but brief pauses interrupted to move on to a newer and perhaps more fertile field. It was a tre mendous strain on them physically. Today, with improved travel ac comodations and the help of radio, campaigning is not the arduous task of former years, but it has its moments. William Jennings Bryan, torch bearer of extraordinary record in politics, doubtless is the man who proved the sturdiest campaigner of them all. And even he almost broke down. Bryan was physically fit' and energetic when he first stumped the country in 1896, bearing his cross of gold. He insisted an pa tronizing the local trains, riding in the day coaches at the outset of his tour. In that campaign, Bryan deliv ered as many as 20 speeches a dfiy, a great part of them from the rear of his slow-moving train. In Tennessee, his throat began to balk. When this was known, many, curatives were pressed upon him. One bottle of a remedy for hoarse ness was tested by Benton Mc- Milleri of Tennessee and found to contain a caustic fluid which might have injured Bryan permanently. It was toward the end of that campaign that Bryan began to ap proach exhaustion. He had com pleted a three-days’ series of speeches in Chicago. Despite his splendid physique, the strain began to tell. *He was scheduled to travel north of Chicago when his “loop" engagements were ended. But so trying had been the requirements of his tour that it was necessary to delay the start of the party for more than two hours. • Western Newspaper Union.
