LESSONS IN CARVING
Fowls Offer a Hard Problem to the
Inexperienced.
They Are Coropn rnf Ivdy Simple
When Properly Prepared In the
Kitchen — Hotr to Handle Dif
ferent Kinds of Itoaiti,
Fowls of all kinds are a trial to the
average man who must carve them at
the dinner table. If he has a broiled
chicken to handle he should insist that
it come to him from the kitchen split
down the back, the breastbone broken
and the legs tucked under. Then to
finish the task at the table he has but
to insert the fork in the breastbone.
Cut into halves; then into quarters.
To carve a duck place It on the plate
as you would a turkey. Plunge the
carving fork Into the lower part of the
breastbone at the point marked O.
Remove the leg from A to B, then the
wing from C to D. Tilt the duck; re
move the leg and wing from the oppo
site side. Then cut the breast into
slices from E to F. Make a slash from
G to H to open for the stuffing. The
carcass of a duck is not divided as a
chicken or turkey is. After the breast
is sliced the carving is finlsned.
Small game is easily served. Broiled
or panned quail are split down tha
ye-—-—-■
bark before being cooked, and served
on toast or squares of fried mush. One
is usually served to each person. All
small birds are carved in about the
same way.
Larger game, such as prairie chick
ens and pheasants, are carved by cut
ting down through the side of the
breastbone indicated by the line.
Serve half a pheasant to each person.
Or the knife may be run close to the
breastbone, removing the Hcsh from
the bone. The thighs are scarcely
--
worth the serving. Ail large birds are
carved in the san:e manner.
For carving poultry and same a spe
cial kind of knife and fork is sold,
which greatly simplifies the work of
the carver, enabling him to separato
the joints without any difficulty what
ever.
T» carve a leg of mutton place the
thicker part of the leg uppermost upon
the platter and stick the carving foik
far down into the knuckle end at O,
drawing the leg toward you. Then in
sert the knife at A, and cut directly
down to the bone at B. Then simply
slice the meat down to the bone un'il
you get to the bone at the fleshy end
of the log; then run your knife, cut
ting from C to D along the bone, loos
ening all slices as indicated in the il
lustration.
A shoulder of mutton is much more
complicated. Place it, bone side down,
on the platter. The carver will insert
his fork at, the knuckle end at O, ami
pull the shoulder over. Begin the
carving from A to B, cutting all the
slices down to the same point, and at
last cut and, with a single twist of
the knife, remove them all. The flesh
here is sort of wedge-shap°d. Then
cut the flesh on top of the bone from
this opening to C. At the lower part of
the shoulder the fat is to be found;
cut this into thin slices from D to E,
and help it with a slice of the lean.

“Why?” she asked.

Iadivlilanl Action Advised by Medi
cal Eiperta in Ainrinre on
Deadly Microbe.
There is probably no topic in which
the community in general is more in
terested than in the prevention and
euro of pulmonary consumption. The
general fatality of the disease is great
er than any other, fully ten per cent,
of all deaths being attributable to it.
Its prevalence is also in due propor
tion, states the New York Herald.
When viewed from a matter of fact
standpoint this is bad enough, but. still
there is no reason why we should not
look at the actual situation fairly and
squarely in order to m»et more intelli
gently and practically the issues at
stake. Very encouraging efforts are
being made in such directions, and the
common sense basis of them as given
by experts deserves the widest possible
discussion.
The grand principle aimed at is to
place the possible cure within the reach
of all. In keepng with such intention
the public is being educated in the
proper direction of purely hygienic
treatment. Fresh air, sunlight and
plain, nutritious food are easily ob
tainable even by the comparatively
poor man.
It is high time that the individual as
such should have a show and the over
dreaded bacillus come in on a second
class ticket. Since the useless scare
concerning the universal danger of in
fection by this veritably omnipresent
microbe too little attention has been
paid to the more fundamental doctrines
of prevention and cure.
The newly found bug is as much a
part of creation as the human being,
and has come to stay, in spite of the
defiantly belligerent manifestoes of
health boards. If it could speak in its
own behalf it would say that, far from
being an intruder in the animal econ
omy, it is a specially invited guest. The
susceptible person is. after all, the only
one that offers it a welcome. Thus it
happens that only a small proportion
of all that must he some time or other
exposed to infection become victims to
the disease.
The bacillus is the theory, but evi
dently the patient himself must be the
fact. The higher purpose should be
tf> make the man strong enough to
throw off the disease, no matter what
its source. The same rule should ap
ply with equal force to the susceptible
person, however exposed. In both in
stances the germ would be as seed on
the rock.
Dr. L. F. Flick, an extract from
whose book on consumption wa3 re
cently given in the Herald, is the
latest exponent of these advanced
views. He even goes farther than most
advocates of the new treatment by ad
vising that the patient must get fresh
air, irrespective of weather, night and
day, even at the expense of numerous
draughts in the bed chamber. Mere
climate, he avers, is not always a nec
essary factor, provided the victim is
well fed, leads an outdoor life and
keeps up his pluck.
The more such doctrines are
preached the better for the army of
sufferers who look for practical help.
While the fear of catching consump
tion from the casual victim is greatly
exaggerated by various overzealous
health boards, it is equally true that
the erroneous belief that the disease
is incurable has also gained altogether
too much currency. In fact, if such
opinions were well founded not only
would doctors, nurses and friendly at
tendants be stricken by the thousands,
but the poor tuberculous patient would
be branded as a common leper.
It is a good sign of the times that
broad and rational methods of dealing
with the “white plague” are so steadily
paining ground and mere bacteriological
theories are wanting in their more di
rect application. Let us continue, then,
to have less scare about the business and
more rational and better directed aims.
The main question is, which can hold the
fort, the microbe or the patient? We
confess that our sympathies are always
w ith the latter. Fresh air, sunlight, good
food and plenty of pluck may yet rob
the bacillus of all its zeal.
Evp'h Apple Tree.
A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Eve's teeth is one of the many bo
tanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree
on which it grows is known by the
significant name of “the forbidden
fruit,” or “Eve’s apple tree.” The
blossom has a very pleasant scent, but
the really remarkable feature of the
tree, the one to which it owes its name,
is the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in a peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep crim
son within, each fruit has the appear
ance of having had a piece bitten out
of it. This fact, together with its
poisonous quality, led the Moham
medans to represent it as The forbid
den fruit of the garden of Eden and to
warn men against its noxious proper
ties.—Chicago Chronicle.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.—A great
many men in tins neighborhood used to
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr. Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first of all found the remedy for this
Backache, lie has recommended it to all
his friends and neighbors, ami in every
case it has had wonderful success.
Mr. Mill says:
“For many years I had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small
of my back. 1 tried many medicines but
did not derive any benefit until last fall,
when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's
Kidney l’ills. After using them a few
days I began to improve, my back quit
aching and 1 felt better and stronger all
around.
“1 will keep them in the house right
along, for in my opinion they are the best
medicine in the market to-dav, and if my
back should bother me again, I will use
nothing else.”

Hard To Bear.
J.W. Walls, Superin
tendent of Streets of
Lebanon, Kentucky, I
Street in that city, says:
“With my nightly rest broken, o^
ing to irregularities of the kidneys,
suffering intensely from severe pains
in the small of my back and through
the kidneys, and annoyed by painful
passages of abnormal secretions, life
was anything but pleasant for me. j
No amount of doctoring relieved this
condition, and for the reason that !
nothing seemed to give me even tem- ;
porary relief, I became about dis- j
couraged. One day I noticed in the
newspapers the case of a man who
was afflicted as I was and was cured
by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
His words of praise for this remedy
were so sincere that on the strength
of his statement I went to the Hugh
Murrey Drug Co.’s store and got a
box. I found that the medicine was
exactly as powerful a kidney remedy
as represented. I experienced quick
and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney
pill3 will prove a blessing to all suf
ferers from kidney disorders who will
give them a fa*ir trial.”
