A Visit from St. Nicholas
'Twas ` the night :before Christmas
and all through the house
Not' n cneature was stirring, not ev-
en a mouse,
Thus begins the most , popular
'Christmas poem of all. It is•a poem
' for children, but the grown-ups like
it too, because c,f its ringing sound,
"`Donder and Blitzen," aren't those
Abe loveliest names for the myste
sous epindeers of Saint Nicholas?

stiff li'c'e to turn them over with my
tongue,
I always thought for some reason
-tor other that this poem was a trans-
lation from the German, because of
the Donder and Blitzen, I suppose. I
find that it was written by Clement
Moore, an American in 182 `
, 3, for his
•,,own children, It was not written for
wublication, but was afterwards pub-
lished. He published a volume of
'poems but none as famous as this.
Last Minute Preparations

ding Sauce and dressing for your
turkey.

light, then add the sugarG

the more beating the better the sauce.
A stifflybeaten egg-white; folded into
the sauce makes it light and fluffy
and many think it is an improvement.
Most people use ;.confectioners' sugar
fora hard sauce but many prefer the
flavour of brown sugar.
Molasses Sauce
1 cup molasses

utes; remove from the •fire and add

There is' a diversity of opinion
about turkey dressings. Some think
that turkey requires a very delicate
dressing and with chopped parsley,
and salt and pepper as the only sea-
soning. Others like a very little on-
ion and sage (that is my preference)
Others like yet a stronger seasoning
and fry the onion until soft in butter.
Turkey dressing is improved by mois-
tening
ois-t ning with beaten eggs, as this will
male itmuch easier to slice.
Oyster Dressing
Add 1 pint of chopped raw oysters
I to a turkey dressing seasoned with
alt, pepper and a little onion,
Chesnut Stuffing
Shell, blanch, and boil in salted;wa.,
ter sufficient chesnuts to ma'c'e two
cups of pulp. Mix with f cup, cream,
and.,,season with salt. This makes an
unusual and delicious dressing. The
large English chesnuts are the var-
iety to use.
Christmas Cocktail
Add sufficient juice from canned
raspberries to orange juice to color
it red. Chill thoroughly, before serv-
ing.
Substitutes for Christmas Turkey
There are many families that find
fowl just a bit too steep in price for
Christmas dinner. There are many
very appetizing substitutes. Somehow
a dressed meat is the tastiest. A
shoulder of pork, or a veal may be
boned and dressed: Cook in a hot
oven to sear and brown, then reduce
the heat and cook for a long time in
a slow ove. Part of the front quarter
of a lamb may be boned, dressed and
then rolled. This makes a 'delicious
roast. A Meat Loaf may be dressed
by dividing the meat into two parts,
covering one half with dressing, then
cover this with the rest of the meat.
These are all inexpensive cuts.
' Merry Christmas.

they go on the market. Inferior feed
or a skimpy ration does not inake
market toppers of even the best type
of cattle.
Crate -Feeding Pays
Farmers aim
ers
who are in
a position to
follow' the practice, find thae, rate-
fe,eding of their poultry pays them
big dividends. There are several 'rea-
eons for this. It produces the milk
fed grades which bring the highest
prices; the leading wholesale merch-
ants are now buying poultry by Gov-
ernment grades with substantial dif-
ferentials
if ferentials between each grade; the
premium assured for birds which
grade "milk -fed makes crate -feeding
worth while; and all poultry intended
for eating purposes should be prop-
erly finished before being marketed.
The farmer who has poultry to mar-
ket: would do well to remember that
it is the last pounds which brings the
finish andincreases the value of the
bird by 50 or 75 cents.
Canadian Clover Seed Is Again
Proven Best
That climate has a great deal to do
berta in the grain andseed divisions.
Ontario. led the Dominion at to total
number of firsts.
Canada made an enviable showing
at Chicago, capturing ten champion-
ships, and three reserves in the grain
division, and 10 crowns and 10 re-
serves in the live stock. Leading all
Canadian exhibitors for individual
showing was Herman Trelle of Wem-
bley, Alta,, with five crowns in grains
and seeds. No one else among the
entrants in the show equalled this re-
-cord.

FIGHTING 'OFF :SICKNEas
There are certain individuals wh
pride themselves on not giving in t
illness, or on fighting off sickness a

should be proud,or a feat to boast of
It is all verywell w not to complain
of every ache or pain, and certainly
there is no good purpose served
exaggerating every bodily discom-
fort that presents itself. But the. per-
son who fails to recognize the feet
that his body is not doing its work
properly and requires attention, or
who remains at work when he should
be in bed, is making

Sick persons may think that they
are brave to disregard a persistent
cough or shortness of breath, but in
doing so they may not only shorten
their own days, but may cause them
to be actually a menace to others,
spreading disease to those with whom
they come into contact,
A lump' in the breast may not ap-
peal to be a real cause for ,serious
consideration, particularly if it is
painless, However, it is neglect of
such lumps that results in cancer of
the breast going on to a stage where
there is little or on hope for the case.
A persistent cough may seem to
e of but minor importance, but it
I ray be due to tuberculosis, which, if
of given prompt treatment before
he :disease becomes advanced will
require years of care and may prove
fatal.
o Shortness of breath may bethe
o first evidence
of a failing heart
s which, if given reasonable 'care,
would serve foryears, but which
, without such care• will soon become
so dartyneeged as to rendez' its owner
practically helpless for the remaiueler
of his,life.
No 'one is sofoolish as to pride
himself on the neglect of valuable
possessions. We do not admire " the
farmer who neglects his cattle, or the
man who neglects his motor car. It.
is no more admirable to neglect our
bodies than it is to give attention to
our cattle or to ..our motor' cars. It
iso in truth, much more important for
�us to care for our bodies because our
, health is the most valuable of our
possessions. Moreover, worn-out or -
gans of the body cannot be replaced
as can be worn-out machinery, and
we cannot purchase new bodies.
The body you have must see you
through life. To fight off sickness
in the sense of neglecting your body
is a very foolish thing to do. H your
do so, you will likely pay for your
foolhardiness in some serious illness;
your body will wear out sooner, and
you will be old before your time.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As-

The Button in the Bottle
For this trick you will require a
clear glass bottle, a button, a piece of
thread, and a cork. Tie the button
securely to the thnead, place it in the
bottle so that it hangs half -way down,
attach the other end of the thread to
the cork, and cork the bottle tightly.
Now how can you sever the thread
so that the button falls to the bottom
of the bottle? The bottle must not
be uncorked or broken.
Nohing more is needed to accom-
plish this trick successfully than a
lens to focus the rays of the sun,
which pass through the glass without
beating it and burn the thread
