. COUNCIL HAS SPAT
VOVER BAR LICENSE
r
Commissioners. Hummel and Xngel
Take Issue with Major Orer
Permit to Anton Fowal.
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.

HOW TO PICKJOUR TURKEY
Expert on Gobbler Tells How Sim

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

breeding and their selection than any

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."

A Remedy s
For All Pain
"The efficiency of any drag" says Dr. O. P.
Robbtns, ''Is known to us by the results we
obtain from Its use. If we ere able to con
trol pain and disease by means of any pre
paration, we certainly are warranted In Its
use. One of the principal symptoms of all
disuses Is pain, aud this Is what the patient
most often applies to us for, i. e. something
to relieve his pain. If we ean arrest this
firomptly, the patient is most liable to trust
a os for the other remedies which will effsct
a permanent cure. One remedy which I
hare used largely In my practice Is Anil
kamnla Tablets. Many and rarlwci are their
uses. I hare pat tneui to the test on many
oeoaslnns, and have never beea disappoint
ed. I found them especially valuable lor
headaches of malarial origin, wbsrs qulnlua
was belns taken. Tney appear to prevent
tbe bad atter-eHeets of Uie quinine. Anti
kamnia Tablets are also excellent for the
headaches from Improper digestion; alio
lor hsadaohes of a nsuralglo origin, and as-
festally lor woman subjeet to pelnset certain

Is able to so about as usual." These tablets
