Don’t Destroy Thankfulness By Having Too Much to Eat.

Don’t make it impossible to be thankful on the day after Thanksgiving. If you are thankful this year because you have a good appetite, try to retain that blessing. Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden egg. This is the Thanksgiving day prescription of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist and pure food expert of the department of agriculture. He was asked to prepare a menu dinner for Thanksgiving and replied by telling what he intends to have himself. In most Thanksgiving dinners of prosperous Americans these days the turkey is merely the ‘piece de resistance”—the feature of an elaborate meal from which In many cases the turkey could be eliminated without being m issed. With Dr. Wiley the turkey is the dinner. Here is his menu: Turkey. Dressing. Potatoes. Crahberry sauce. The turkey, of course, is roasted. The dressing may be of any simple and digestible sort The potatoes present the most serious problem, for Dr. Wiley can’t tell whether he prefers French fried, baked, mashed, creamed or German fried. Any of these will do. Dr. Wiley would put the ban on soup, salad and dessert Of course there are many things that might be added without doing injury, but he believes that “enough is enough”; that anything added to his menu would be superfluous. The best way to be thankful on ths day after Thanksgiving is to confine the turkey dinner to the turkey, says Wiley. •Have your piano tuned by Otto Braun. Leave your order with any of tho band boys
