First itlan to Drown a Turkey.
The browning of roasted turkeys to
a uniform color throughout, and. the
partial stuffing of the birds with, truf
fles and an oyster and chestnut stuffing
mixed with rare Madeira wine were-in
vented by pominick Lynch, a beau of
the early decades of the last century..
That stuffing was first served at a ban
quet given, by him to Miss . Kelly,' a '
sister of Mozart's famous tenor, who
came to this country to sing for the
benefit of the Greeks, then rising
against Turkey. Lynch always gave a
turkey dinner, to the celebrities of Eu

KEEPING DOWN HIS WEIGnT

Eight years ago almost to ft day

Grand HoteL at Broadway and Thir

looking back at the door and then
walked uncertainly uptown. It was S
o'clock in the evening, and the ex-pugilist
brushed shoulders with well
groomed people hurrying to the thea
ters. He was the derelist of the
stream. On his face there was a half
siiile, but it wasn't a pleasant one.
At the corner of Thirteenth street he

ings, and was apparently about to
Pass on. But he paused beside them
and said: "I've just been turned down
in that bar room for a last drink. I
banted one drink' more,1 and didn't

SCHOOL EPIDEMICS'.
No School Should Close on Account of
Epidemic of Contagious Disease.
The plan of closing school in case
of an epidemic of some contagious
disease is the old and ineffective way
of dealing with such a situation, and
was adopted for the reason there wt
apparently nothing . else to do.; But
according to a bulletin recently issued
by the' State Board of Health, there is
another way, a scientific and an effi
cient meansi of dealing with an epi
demicln school.' This way does not
close the school at all but uses the
school as a most valuable aid In. keep
ing the children under observation,
Mi&t. fiarlv cases may. be detected and
removed before they become a source.
of infection to the other t cnimren.
"In case a school has no nurse or
o.hrkrti rvh vsir.lan." says the bulletin,".
a physician's service - can be -secured
for tne uany tjAaujiuiiuuuo
epidemic lasts and both parents and
the healtn officer or quarantine officeiv
can be notified and the epidemic soou
brought under control."
On the other hand, if the schools are
closed when -an outbreak, occurs, the
children are turned loose from super
vision; they 1 mingle freely with one.
another in the streets and in each
other's homes; they are unwilling to
admit they feel ill for the reason it
will be the end.of their ..good ime and
consequently when onedoes J; come
down" with" the disease usually it was
not detected until he had 4nfected his
brothers and sisters and perhaps his
playmates. Oftentimes, in such cases,
thfc parents call the physician too late.
According to the bulletin, no school
should close on account of contagious
diseases. If the teacher is alert and
the health officer on the Job, an epi
demic can be avoided or so controlled
that there will be no loss of time on
the part of the school as a whole. Not
for four years has a school of New
York City closed on account of an
epidemic of a contagious disease.

COURSE OF STUDY FOR WOMEN -WHO
EXPECT TO MARRY
Columbia university announces the
establishment of a course of study de signed
to teach women how to - keep
children, and a, house in order. The
course we take it,, is for the women
students , at Columbia especially such
as may be matrimonially inclined, Cr
who expect to reach that stage. It is
also assumed -that women who are
seeking information on domestic prob-.
lems, whether they are married or not,
they may take up the study.
Unquestionably, such a course will
be beneficial. We do not know just
what details will enter into the study,
buf unless it promises to teach women
who expect to enter the home field as
wives the Idea of economy, and how
to utilize that, idea in a practical way,
the course may as well be discontin
ued;. That is the problem of the day.
If a .man is married, his success is
questionable If his wife is a spend
thrift and takes no interest in his bus
iness. ; Cost of living is increasing.
Every housekeeper must admit this.
Unless a wlfe can do her part in meet
ing this contingency, she will fail. A
course in a university along thi$ line
is timely. If it does not teach, this-it
is useless.- Richmond Times-Dispatch,
