PEERLESS
PUNKIN
PIES
There are one hundr*l millions of
people in the United States and al
lowing one pie each week, we have
the consumption of five billions two
hundred millions of pies in tais coun
try per annum Pie, like the rock
ing chair, is essentially an Am rican
institution. If the foundation if ight
almost anything may be useu to
make the fabric of the pie, although
the pumpkinpie is sacartd to Thankf
giving, as the mince pie is to Chritt.
mas No Christmas mince pie is
properly constructed, the edges ol
whinh are not joined togeti er with
the key of the best bureau drawer
Perhaps it is too much to claim that
the winning of the war depends up
on tne steady output of pies, but
twenty-live tnousand men in a Pa
cific co-ist shipyard threatened to
lay down ineir tools if the daily out
put of pies was not forthcoming. As
we have alreaby said, almost any
thing will di» for the inside of the pie
float mince to "the four and twenty
blackbirds” immortalized in Motli
er Goose; an 1 as the sacred writer
remarked of man, pies are often
"f arfuliy and wonderfully made.’
Pies are sometimes the di .turbers ol
domestic bliss, and some pave tin
way to the divorce court, because
the impulsive husband has the te
nierity to compare his wife’s pies
with th ■ kind that motherused tc
make Dyspeptic persons who ai
always looking fot the fly iu the
ointment seek to kill the eitjoymeni
of the pie lover by affirming that al
pies are unwholesome, and that
mince pie eaten just before going it
bed is deadly. We have consul teei
more then oue physician about thise
and we are assured that pie eattn
rationrlly is no more unwholesome
then other foobs. The trouble arises
from the fact that pie is usually eat
en after we have eaten to repletion
of other foods, and tht digestive ap
paratus is overworked and is likely
on 6uch occasions, to go on a strike.
One can comfortably make waj
with a whole mince pie at one sit
ting if he has eaten noting else be
forehand: but we may easily imagine
whrt a housewife would say’ We
still maintain that the mince is the
premier of pies, although a rich, yel
low pumpkin pie is mighty hard to
beat. We came near forgetting the
uppic pic, tuuou uticu iiuiu Ldriy
Harvest apples and served to the
hands in the field aboud ten of clock.
There is not so much of this done
as formerly. When pie in havest time
was the rule, we have known har
vest hands to quit their job because
their employer served only one kiud
of pie at dinner. LiKewise, at an ear
lier dateyjnen would not work in
harvest|Hfe4B employer who did not
serve liquor- at stated intervals, it he
ing held that a worktnau could not
go through the ordeal of a hot har
vest day without at ration of liquor
any more then he could dispense
with a red flannel shirt. Let the good
women of this country not become
weary in well doing, but let them
make pie without stint. It is a noble
undcrtawing.
