TELLS KtJQEL TO GET 05 JOB The habit of considering liquor license applications la open sessions, vo which the city council Is becoming Addicted, resulted in an exchange of pointed 'remarks when the council sat as an excise board yesterday. The ruction was started when the Application of Anton Powal for a license at 201 South Ninth street was considered. Commissioner Kugel announced that Powal had violated the liquor laws during the year and had received a complaint from Mayor Hahlman, who reported that officials of the smelter protested because some of their employe had been tendered unfit for work while at this .saloon. Mayor Dehlman put the vote and an nounced the license was granted, where upon Commissioner Hummel, who voted no, insisted that a regular roll call be read by the clerk, a a the commissioner wished his vote against the license to be a matter of record. The roll call vote rove four vote for the license. Commis sioners Kugel and Hummel voting; no and Commissioner Jardlne declining; to vote. Take Issue with Marr. This situation hrougM a statement from the mayor, who said he thought th council had adopted the policy that sll the rlmmlsslonera would vote as a unit on Bttloon license. Commissioners Kui?p1 and Hummel took issue with the msyor and announced they would vote their Individual convictions. Commissioner Butler thereupon offered a resolution, that thereafter all excise meetings be held in the open and that executive sesalona be no more. The reso lution went through. Saloon Maa. Lehs at Kaarel. A statement by Commissioner Kugel was: "I know that certain saloon men have violate the law during thla year, but I can not always prove It to you. Tou will have to take my ward for it My moral squad brings report of viola tions, but the evidence is not of such a nature as to hold in court, but we know the violations existed. In this fowal cose they were so bold aa to solicit business on Sundays on the walk. I don't want to tell you how to vote, but I am going to vote against thla and some other applications I am holding, A saloon man Called at my office the other day and laughed at me when I told him he would have to obey the law this year or his license would not be renewed. I don't know where he got his assurance." Tells Kaffel to Get Busy. Then the mayor, addressing Mr. Kugel, esld: "Get your old moral squad busy. Either they ain't doing their duty or they are playing favorites. Don't pick out one man for the goat." And Commissioner Butler also spoke: "I don't know abou. this particular appli cant (Powal), but. I knew about others who have been violating the ltalo laws and are getting away with It." . t Commissioner Jerdme -expressed the beV llef that the council should support each other on recommendations. He made tbU statement to Anton Powal: "We are go ing to have prohibition in this state If you saloon men do not behave." The gist of the situation is that Com missioner Kugel wants to place himself In the position pi advising the council of certain saloon men who have violated liquor law thla year, and after , he has voted no on . their, applications for 11 licenses be will feel that It will be up to the other commissioners to support him or assume the responsibility If such li censes are gtsvated.

SOME SIGNS OF TENDERNESS 'The purchase of a Christmas turkey ought not to be the gamble that It sometimes Is, The selection of a tender, toothsome bird, old enough to be well flavored but young enough to be pala table, Is really a very simple operation once you know how." The speaker was a man who prob ture. A lengthy title, which might easily ably knows more about turkeya, their breeding and their selection than any I one In the United States Harry M. lone in the United States Hsrrcy M. investigation of the bureau of animal ! industry of the Department of Agricul- be shortened Into "Uncle Sam's Turkey Expert." "The best turkey for home consump tion," continued thla man, who has studied turkey raising In all parts of the country, "Is one about a year old. If it , la too young the meat will taste 'flat';' If It Is too old the labor of mas tication wilt probably be too hard. As a general thing a hen turkey la better than a 'gobbler', and care must be ex ercised to Insure tenderness by feeling of the flesh and lifting up the wing to aee whether the skin breaks easily. The older a bird the tougher the skin. The relet of a Tarker. '.'Then, too, the pospectlve buyer should see that the turkey Is well fleshed across the loins or thighs. The average buyer looks at the breast of a turkey and lets It go st that. The thlgha are a much better criterion. If the bird Is well fleshed there, It Is almost a certainty that It will prove abundantly supplied with meat on the breast, and the contrary Is not always the rule. Consideration of these two points age and the degree of flesh will Insure to th purihaser the maximum of return for the money In vested, and will make the principal part of the Christmas dinner a feast for an epicure. "There is one more point that I ought to emphasise: Do not select too small a turkey for the number of persons you expect to feed. If you don't care to cook a very large turkey, fearing that It may be old and tough. Invest In two small ones but, by all means, have enough and to spare. That Is, In some respects, the most Important of all the points to be observed In the-purchasing of the holi day fowL" In answer to an Inquiry as to the pros pects for the Christmas crop of turkeys this year, Mr.' Union said: "The outlook was never better. Re ports from all sections of the country Indicate that thla will be a banner win ter for the American national bird. Thanksgiving showed that turkeya were abundant and, in most sections of the United States, comparatively cheap. The price will naturally rise a few cents be fore Christmas the result of the Inexor able law of supply and demand but, at that. I do not think that It will come near the high mark aet In other years. Texas la the Lead. "In the first place, there Is a larger crop of turkeys from Texas this year than last. Texas Is the best state In the union when it comes to turkey raising. A good many of the birds also come from Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky. California, too, Is breaking Into the tur key game on a large ' scale, but not so many of its birds are to be found in the east-. California may some- day monopo lise the turkey trade; they have the habit of doing things very well out there but at present the center of the Industry remains In the southern United States. "The annual turkey drive Is welt on Its way by this time, the crest of the first wave having been reached a week before Thanksgiving. The second Influx reaches its high-water mark shortly before Christmas, and the time then recedes until, shortly after February 1, turkeys become scarcer and scarcer. Many persona, whose sole acquaintance with the national bird consists of con suming it at the table, are unaware ot the fact that there are many kinds and varieties of turkey, not all of then, suited for home consumption. The bronse turkey is the most popular, and there fore the one that Is most In demand In the eastern markets. Texas raises great numbers of these birds, and thefe are many of them to be found in northern New York and central Illinois. It Is from these turkey centers that the New York and Boston markets are princi pally supplied, the transportation charges rendering it Inexpedient to import birds from the Texas or California market Great Turkey Parades. "Texas, particularly, has been unceas ing In Its efforts to break Into the ex clusive turkey trade of the big cities, and everything possible has been done to foster the raising of these birds In the Lone Star state. It ' was there that the turkey trot" originated no, I don't mean the dance (that Is supposed to have started on the Son Francisco Bar bs ry coast. I believe) the turkey trot I mean la an annual celebration Intended to foster turkey raising. Great turkey parades are held and prices awarded to the most valuable birds. The turkeys are sold In large quantities, thousands at a time, right on their feet, and the trote' are becoming more and more oc casions for rivalry between breeders, and. therefore, assist greatly In the propaga tion ot the better species. America is the premier turkey country of the world, and it la only, fitting that everything possible should be done by us to bring thla fowl to the highest state of perfec tion. Rhode Islaad'e Dlatlartloa. "The growing of turkeys appears to have Improved as a result of a deter mined effort on the part of producers of what la known as 'standard-bred' or 'ex hibition' stock to demonstrate that It is more profitable to use pure breeding stock than the smaller and less vigorous stork of days gone by. It Is due to those efforts that the turkey-growing in dustry of the country has benefited so materially during the last three decades, for the consumer can . now purchase a far finer bird on the open market than he could have secured from a poultry fancier twenty years ago. "This movement on the part of turkey growers has also supplied new, rich, vigorous bloed throughout the whole country, adding strength, and thereby building up the stock whlCi had become deteriorated through the carelessness ot producers themselves. Throughout the country the attention of turkey growers hss been called to he successful produc tion of market turkeys In the slate of Rhode Island. Unquestionably some of the best market turkeys produced In the World have been sent out ot this state, but even there, a number of years ago, the art was In danger ot being lost through careless ' handling of breeding ttock. Other states may claim the title of 'cradle of liberty' and the birthplace of presidents." but to Khode I.tian be longs the name of 'saver of the turkey.' for It was Khode Island that fostered the breeding of these birds at a time when other states were paying them scant at tention. A Proflt-Pradaela Bird. "Too few poultry produce realise that the turkey stands at the very tp of the list of profit-producing birds. The fact that turkeys wlil, front the time they are six weeks old until winter seta In, gain the greater part of their living from bugs, grasehoppers and waste grain that they pick up In their wandering over the range, assures their existence through this period at little or no cost to the grower. In other words, they may be termed self-sustaining foragers, desiring only sufficient range In order to fatten and grow strong. "Comparatively few persons, partleu methods in general use. The most popu larly among the city-bred, are familiar with the methods employed In killing a turkey. On farms where turkey raising has become a fine art there are two lar of these Is to suspend the fowl by the shanks, hesd down, and cut or stlok It In the roof of the mouth with a knife made especially for this purpose. This severs the arteries and outs Into the brain, causing Insensibility ami a free flow of blood from the mouth. "The other plan la to break the neck by a quick Jerk or twist backward. When the neck Is completely disjointed the head Is pulled away so as to form an open space In the neck, where the blond may settle. This plsn as been but little fol lowed, though the claim has been made that when so killed fowls keep longer, because there Is no opening by which air can get into the body, as there Is when they are stuck In the roof of the mouth. .This method has been more used for chickens then for turkeys, snd to prac- tlce it on the targer fowls requires con siderable dexterity. . "Then, of course, there Is the old-fashioned method of beheading the bird with an axe or hatchet, which has been In use for many years snd Is still the rule on farms that are not quite up to date. "But. after all. It Is the turkey itself that matters most. Select a compara tively young bird, within the one-year limit, well fleshed, tender as to skin and wishbone, cook It well, stuff It to taste, and there will be little left to wish for after your Christmas dinner."
