THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. NOVE3IBER 26. 1907. 12 How to Stuff the Turkey for Thanksgiving "Dinner Recipes and Suggestions for Chestnut. Oyster and Other Dressings Sure to Tempt the Appetite of Holiday Diners. FROZEN DESSERTS FOR THANKSGIVING BY MLIAN TINGLE. DURING the past week I have re ceived quite a number of requests for a bread-stuffing recipe, which, my correspondents say. they used on my recommendation, two years ago, but which they have since lost or mislaid. I cannot be absolutely certain that the fol lowing recipe is the one meant, but I think It very probable, as it seems to be a general favorite among my students. For every two level cupfuls of crumbs used allow: 1 tablespoon finely eKhpped parsley. 1 tablespoon fliuly chopped green peppers. 4-teaepoon "poultry spice," or thyme. Vteaspoon nutmeg. Vi lemon rind gratd (yellow only). 1 tepoon onion Juice or 1 tablespoon finely mlncrd onion. 4 teaspoon pepper. 1 teaspoon salt. 4 tablespoons melted butter. This gives a light, savory, "crumby" dressing. If you want a dressing that will slice when cold, it will be necessary to add a well beaten egg and three or four spoonfuls of milk or water the ex act amount of the latter depending upon the dryness of your bread crumbs. One woman, whose family approves of the above dressing, always makes a double quantity. Half Is made the dry way. cooked In the bird, and eaten hot; the other half has egg mixed with It and appears next day, when neat slices of white meat, dark meat and dressing are daintily arranged in order on a long nar row entree dish. The crumbs should be all-white sifted crumbs from a loaf not more than two or less than one day old. These are laslly passed through a colander, and -re not so dry as to require the extra mois ture that often results In sogginess. Many women are inclined "to spoil the ship for a ha"poth of tar" by trying to use up crusts and odd stale pieces (sometimes with odd stale flavors) in their turkey dressing; but crumbs can be satisfactorily turned to account in other ways, and a good turkey la surely worth a few fresh-made crumbs. Soaked bread, especially In the hands of inexperience, Is dangerous material. As for the shortening, half bacon fat and half butter is a good combination: or for a strictly hot dressing, a little very finely chopped suet or pork fat may be substituted for some of the butter. The dressing should be Just short enough to enable you to gather It up in handfuls for transference to the interior of the bird. The flavorings given may. of course, be modified by Individual taste the onion, for Instance, omitted, or a clove of garlic rubbed round the mixing bowl; but no one flavor should predominate. Person ally, I don't like sage with turkey, ,-hlcken or veal Its strong flavor Is bet ter suited to duck, goose or pork: but, of course, some people may prefer it to the other herbs suggested. Don't cram the bird too tightly with stuffing, especially If you are using a dressing likely to swell, as, for Instance, one In which dry cracker crumbs play a leading part. TEACHERS GO TO SCHOOL COUNTY IXSTITITK OPKVS IN EAST SIDK HIGH SCHOOL,. Sren Hundred I nsl motors in At tendance I;lMon to Addresses on Variety of Topics of Interest. The annual Teachers' Institute of Mult nomah County opened at 9 o'clock yester day morning at the Bast Side High School with about 700 teaehers in attendance, and will continue today and tomorrow. In addition to the general session, which Is being held in the assemblv-room on the first floor, time has been set apart for . department or grade work. County Superintendent R. F. Robinson has organized the departmental work of the institute with the purpose of illus- . tratlng the three processes in the art of j teaching Instruction, drill and test. These are demonstrated by class work, a prin cipal and teacher using a class which has been doing actual school work under the teacher for this purpose. "Fundamentals in Education" and "Fundamentals in Schooling" were t 1 subjects of the leading addresses yester day, these being delivered, one in the morning and the other In the afternoon, by R. G. Boone, editor of Education, a Boston publication, and a leading edu cator of the country. W. J. Kerr, pres ident of the Oregon Agricultural College, spoke in the morning on "The New Edu cation." and J. W. Railway, of New York, gave a lecture In the morning on "Judgment Regarding the Things to Be ; Taught." and In the afternoon on "In dustrial Regions of the L'nited States." This iti the first time the Institute has ! ever been held on the East Side. The !

At the close of the talk Mr. Standley gave a practical tool demon- stratlon of the construction of one of the objects made by the boys in the mamiaP training workshops of the city's schools, Today model class recitations will be given at I:20 and 1:20, and addresses de- tfvered In the assembly-room by J. W. There was one bride who, in her anxiety to get a "light" dressing, such as her husband had expressed a preference for, conceived the brilliant idea of mix ing In a liberal supply of baking powder. He liked "lots of dressing." so she crowded In all she could and sewed the bird up tight. Did you ever hear the sad story of Mary Ann Dauder, who rashly partook of a sedlltz powder? And her epitaph: "Gone from this world to eternal rest. She should have waited till It effer vesced." If so, you can imagine what happened to the turkey a young and tender crea ture, worthy of a happier fate. The making of stuffing is really more of an art than a science, but there is one fixed rule about It; Every Individual has known a mother or an old family cook who could make better dressing than the world has ever known, before or since. If that is not part of your creed, there Is something wrong about you, or you have missed something that can never be made up to you. If your taste or family tradition calls for oyster stuffing, take a well-seasoned bread dressing, without herbs, using equal parts of crumbs and oysters, or two or three parts crumbs to one of oysters, according to taste and ideas of economy. Oysters, however, are not im proved by long cooking, therefore many people prefer to have them scalloped separately. Chestnut stuffings are great favorites of my own, and there are several good types. Chestnuts are most easily blanched by boiling one minute, after being duly pricked or slit, draining, and heating with a teaspoonful of butter or salad oil cither In the pan or the oven. The shells can then be removed without breaking up the nuts, as sometimes happens when they are allowed to cook in their shells until quite soft. If your family Is of the I-like-to-know - Just - what - I'm - eating school of taste, you may next chop the nuts, season simply with pepper, salt, or with onion Juice, parsley, chopped ham and a suspicion (no more) of garlic, add one tablespoon of melted butter for every cup of chestnuts and let them finish cooking Inside the bird. Otherwise, you may cook them in salted water until soft, pass them through the potato rlcer and add the seasonings to the resulting smooth mass. Bread crumbs are also added sometimes for the sake of light ness. Some people prefer a mixture of chestnuts ajid minced veal. Other dressings that have their adher ents are potato dressing, usually half po tatoes and half crumbs with herbal sea sonings: nut dressing in which chopped English walnuts are combined with bread crumbs or granular ready-to-eat break fast foods, usually about six nuts to a cap of crumbs and a tablespoon of butter: and rice dressing, which is, I thing, really of Turkish origin and often Includes raisins or currants and shredded almonds. You will probably need not less than five or six cups of light crumbs for an eight or ten pound bird; and quite a little more can be stowed away in front by making full use of the flap of neck skin a wise precaution with a popular stuff ing and a large circle of eaters.

When the present work of excavating the basement of the Perkins Hotel is completed, the feasibility of adding two more stories, thus making it an eight story building, will he considered by the Perkins Hotel Company, which has taken over the lease recently secured by Adam Mueller, vice-president and general man ager of the Northern Brewery Company.

Laborers in possession of iols are in luck these days, even at reduced wages, because many are loafing the streets In quest of work, and every call for men is answered by more than there is room for. Price of labor has fallen about 25 per cent ln six weeks, reaching ?2 a day for American hands, and $1.50 for for eign. On the Mount Hood Railway team sters are working for $2 and laborers for $1.80. Last Summer and ln the early Autumn, wages of laborers. Including farm hands, were $2.50 to $3. and Jobs were begging for fillers. Suspension of railroad work, decline of building, lum bering and logging, and release of many hands on the farm, are the main causes of the labor surfeit. Continuance of these conditions is ex pected to turn many hands to clearing land, which has almost been suspended of late years, and to cutting cordwood. The Willamette Valley contains large areas of stump and underbrush land, which farmers have been unable to clear for cultivation, owing to the high cost of the work $75 to $150 an acre. The case was cited yesterday of a man who last Sum mer refused to clear land for $75 an acre, and last week offered to take the con tract for $60. but the owner has decided to wait until the price goes down to $50. The reason for the high price of cord wood ls the small cut made last Summer, owing to high wages and scarcity of la bor. The country around Portland con tains a vast quantity of timber fit for cordwood. and many a householder has been unable to buy the cut product, owing to Its excessive price of $6 and $7 a cord. The lowest price yet offered for la borers Ib 15 cents an hour this for for eignersmaking about $1.50 a day. So called American laborers a higher grade are offered $1.75 and $2 a day. These wages were formerly $2.50 and $3. Farm hands, who were paid $50 a month, are offered $20 and $25 a month. Laborers in logging camps are receiving $2. whereas they were receiving $2.50. Other wages in logging camps range from $2.50 to $2.75, for fellers, and $3 to $4 for hook tenders. The idle throngs frequent chiefly the district around Second and Burnslde streets. Though the men are more numerous than for many years, they are spending little money, say keepers of the North End resorts. The amusement halls of Erickson's and Blaster's are packed with the Idle humanity, for each per formance, and at the end of an enter tainment in the one place the throng flocks across the street to attend that in the other. Many of the idle men are transients; in fact, there seem fewer In the city than a week ago. Large numbers are beat ing their way Southward for a milder climate. The Northern cities are re garded as Inhospitable resorts during the wet Winter. Towns along the route of the Southern Pacific are much troubled by the travelers, and their marshals are kept busy running out the vagrants. Gold Found in Craws of Wild Ducks Mallards From Far North Bear Fluke-, of Yelloyv Treasure to Portland Hunter. SOMETIMES a hunter finds a clam clinging to the foot of a duck and sometimes some lucky hunter finds a pearl ln a craw, but the latest find is gold. Sunday, Arthur Velguth and Joseph Closset spent the day at their new 400 acre duck preserve, on the Henrici place. The shooting was good and both bagged nice strings of mallards, but they had no Idea that each mallard was a flying gold mine. The gold discovery was not made until yesterday, when Velguth's mother began preparing the mallards for dinner. When it came to cleaning the craw of the first bird, Mrs. Velguth noticed a quantity of yellow particles intermingled with the sand and pebbles. When her son re turned home she called his attention to the flakes, which he soon discovered were virgin gold. "I was greatly surprised," said Mr. Velguth last night, "when I saw the flakes, some of which were a sixteenth of an inch long. The sand was black. Just such as is being experimented with now. I could hardly believe It was gold at first, but after I had carefully washed the contents of each craw, there was the gold without mistake.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY of the Columbia River, where they have found the black sand to contain gold, or whether they came from the Far North, I am unable to determine. At any rate, wherever they had been feeding, gold must have been plenty, for the flakes are unusually large. In my Judgment the birds came from the North, because they are heavily feathered."

CITY BOARD OF CHARITIES Officers Elected and Business Transacted at Annual Meeting. At the annual meeting of the City Board of Charities, held last night In the rooms of the organization on Jeffer son street, T. N. Strong was re-elected to the office of president. Dr. Edna Timins and Rev. A. J. Montgomery were elected members of the board of directors. A paper dealing with the evil effects of the system by which paupers and others undesirables are sent to Portland to be cared for by the local charities was read by Mr. Strong. The report of the registrar. Mrs. M. R. Trumbull, shows that during the past year 1782 people were helped by the Board of Charities. This number Includes 307 families. One hundred and twenty-seven families have been furnished with pro visions 163 times and with !27 pieces of clothing. Of the new cases reported 145 were foreign born and 248 native.
