Many people never seem to get a good night's rest, They turn and togs—blame it on'nervea'—when it may be their kidneys. Healthy kidneys filter poisons and excess acids from the blood. 1f they fail and impurities stay in the system --disturbed rest often follows. If you don't rest well het and use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's elp the kidneys ao that you can rest better—and feel better. • 136 Dodd's Kidner Pills 'urkey' aisid be equally shared by mother, father, sister, brother and good friends or relatives invited to join the family Christmas din- ner party. The first matter that has to be settled is the main course, because the rest of the meal will be planned around this. What Kind of Poultry? To some extent this will de- pend on the number there will be for dinner. The traditional turkey is by far the most popu- lar choice, but goose, chicken and ducks are also in the run- ning for the place of honor on the Christmas dinner table. If you are buying a turkey it is a good ideato order it well ahead of time, then you will be sure of getting the size of bird you want. You will be sure, too, of getting the quality you want if you order a Canada Grade A turkey. There is no hard and fast rule as to the size to buy, but you will not go wrong if you figure one pound of turkey for each person to be served. This should serve ev- eryone very generously with enough left over to enjoy at another meal or for holiday snacks. Eviscerated, drawn, . oven- Wes ven- a.. si r" mrhngs ready are all terms used to de- scribe a turkey, in fact any kind of poultry, that is ready to be stuffed and put in the oven. The demand for poultry sold this way shows that this is the way most homemakers like to buy it. They are prepared to pay a higher price per poun.d than they would for an un- drawn bird, because they know that about a fifth of the weight of an undrawn bird is waste to them. What Stuffing to Make? There are 'a great many stuf- fings that are very good with turkey and for that matter good with chicken too. Bread crumbs are the basis of most turkey stuffings, a light fluffy dressing taking soft stale bread crumbs made from bread at least a couple of days old, while a really dry dressing calls for bread crumbs made from bread thoroughly dried in the oven. For a moist dressing, a little liquid may be added, but in any case melted fat of some kind, preferably butter, should be mixed with the crumbs to give the desired richness. As for seasonings the ones we think of first are savoury, salt and pep- per with minted onion or juice following next in line. Now a basic bread crumbs dressing can be varied many ways by adding one or more of these flavor adding foods — chopped celery, parsley, crisp bacon or oysters; blanched, slivered al - mons or chopped pecans, cash- ews or boiled chestnuts, pork sausages sliced and browned, turkey giblets cooked and chop- ped; sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter. Finally, here are a few statistics about stuffings. A pound of bread will give about four cups of soft stale bread crumbs and it takes about a cup of dressing for each pound of turkey. What Garnish To Use? Fresh green parsley, good- sized sprigs of it, placed artis- tically around the turkey is al- ways in vogue as a garnish. The decorating should be done just before the turkey is taken to the table, but the parsley can be kept fresh and all ready to use in a glass sealer or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Bright green 'watercress makes an eq- ually effective garnish and green pepper can also be used to add an extra note of color to the turkey platter. Cran- berry sauce, jelly or relish is considered a perfect accompani- ment for roast turkey, but these bright red berries can be used as a garnish too. Threaded to make a chain, they look most attractive gracefully drap- ed over° the well -browned tur- key. What Vegetable To Serve? kIn many homes it is tradition- al to serve certain vegetables with roast turkey, creamed, on- ions and turnips being two of them. Both these vegetables go well with turkey and for this special occasion they can be easily dressed up a little. Chop- ped pimiento, green pepper or parsley can be sprinkled over the rich cream sauce which cov- ers the onions, boiled whole or sliced; and instead of serving the usual mashed turnip .you can hollow out small slices of turnip to form small individual cups and when they are cooked fill them with green peas or beans. Another suggestion is to fill the turnip cups with cream- ed onions, garnishing with chopper parsley. Turnips are attractive too if cut in thin lat- ticed pieces, using a vegetable cutter, cooked until just tender, then coated with butter. For the green vegetable there is a wide choice of both canned and frozen — peas, beans, brussel sprouts, and broccoli, to name the most popular. Beets are another vegetable which should not be overlooked for Christ- mas dinner. One nice way to serve them is in a glistening sauce with a border of green peas or beans. Last, but not least, there is the potato and with that rich turkey gravy— what better way to 'serve pota- toes than mashed and whipped until light and fluffy with a lit- tle cream or hot milk and but- ter. And did you hear about the two Scotchmen who were playing golf on a very hot day? One of the Scots succumbed to the sweltering heat and had a stroke. His part- ner counted it against him. ' `Aa �e 1F�fie free end 'Feellngs At Christmas (From the Winnipeg Free Pres* The Christmas feeling (which is not to be confused with the Christmas spirit) is the exclus- ive gift of the very young. Its intangible, disturbing and nerve tingling qualities can be caught by the adult only as a pale re- flection; only when some chord of memory is touched, perhaps by the glint of tinsel in candle- light or by feel of a holly leaf, • and the sudden recollection of some long forgotten scene. The Christmas feeling takes possession of its fortunate little victims long before Christmas. It reaches its full flowering and vanishes on Christmas morning at the foot of the Christmas tree. For the Christmas feeling, like many other human joys, con- sists almost entirely of anticipa tion. For many of us it is, in mem- ory, inextricably associated with the Christmas tree. There may be other harbingers of Christmas — toy -laden shelves, window displays, carols and parades—but it is not until the stacks of frozen evergreen ap- pear on corner -lots that the real honest to goodness feeling gets into the blood. Scholars may speculate t their hearts content up the leg- endary origin of the Christmas tree; about its supposed con- nection with the Druids' Oak, the Aryan Sun -tree and the World -ash of the Scandinavians. These legends and traditions may be of interest to grown-ups —they make little enough im- pression upon the minds of the people most concerned. The important traditions which twine themselves about the trees are the traditions built up through the years within the family circle. In some families the selection and purchase of the tree, and the dragging of it home on a child's sleigh, may have become crystalized into a ritual. Its decoration in the presence of aunts and uncles and with the assistance of small cousins may, by custom, have become man datory. The placing of the gifts at its foot; the • attack upon these gifts on Christmas morn- ing; these and other simple•acts are gradually formalized into family rituals. These seeming- ly inconsequential rites have a strangely powerful influence on family unity. It may be a coincidence that they are per- formed around a tree which bears a resemblance to a church spire, and which points in the same direction, but is a happy coincidence. c. if f There's NEW "Travel Comfort" on The • �nip ed On to Winnipeg - Jasper -Vancouver You'll find smart new travel comfort and convenience on Canadian National's "Continental Limited."
