14 EAT TURKEY THURSDAY? SURE! Thanksgiving Dinner Wot. Higher Than Last Year; Fine Meal for Five at $5 There is every indication that prac tically every citizen of San Francisco and the transbay region will eat a good, old fashioned Thanksgiving din ner Thursday. It will not be for lack of everything that goes to make up a dinner if every citizen does not. Material for the Thanksgiving feast was never more plentiful than now. and, though prices seem higli enough in proportion to the supply, they are no higher, on the average, than in tecent years. GOOD m\\i:it Knit % FiYF.lt Inquiry among leading retail mar kets, groceries and fruiters along Market street shows clearly that a Thanksgiving dinner may be had by a family of five persons at a cost ranging from $5 upward, according .to the character of menu offered, but the lowest price the dinner will embrace the choicest viands on the market. Km a starter six luscious grape fruit will cost 2 5 cents, soup may be pre pared at the usual nominal cost, then comes a turkey at 26 \i cents a pound, say 10 pounds, for $2.65. Turkeys are priced from 25 to 32 cents, but one shop sells the best at 26% cents — that is the price today. OOVT FORGET CRANBERRIES Two quarts of cranberries will be to cents, a head of the best celery 3 0 cents, head of cauliflower 10 cents, 2 pounds potatoes 8 ecente, 1 pound jstring beans 15 cents, bunch of yellow turnips 5 cents. Then comes the dessert: One pound best plum pudding 40 cents, special mince pie 35 cents, pumpkin pie, 25 cents. With this. Watsonville cider will cost 50 cents per gallon, and to finish with the best mixed nuts will be 25 cents a pound, or chestnuts 15 cents a pound. if more fruit are desired oranges will be 40 cents for a small basket and Spitzbergen apples at 30 cents a small basket. In both cases baskets hold from 12 to 16 pieces of fruit. S7 IS HIGHEST ESTIMATE For more sweets add French pastry at 5 cents apiece, fruit cake at 50 cents per pound, maccaroons or lady lingers at 60 cents a pound and ice cream at 40 to 60 cents per brick. Such a dinner, including all the items mentioned, will not exceed $7 for five persons and it may easily be held within $5. 10,000 Expected at Fire Department Ball It Is expected that the efforts of the wives and sweethearts of members of the lire department will be re warded with a record breaking at tendance at the third annual ball of the firemen Wednesday.

Fowler was second, Harry Christofferson third and Otto Hybvitski brought up the rear because of engine troubles. In the 10 mile race Robert Fowler arrived first by a lead of six seconds.

DIFFICULTIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE Miss Jessie Having Trouble With Trousseau "Believe me, I'm glad I will not have to go through all the trou ble that Miss Jessie did to prepare her trousseau," said Edith. "All this boiher with dressmakers and buying this, that and the other thing can so easily be done away with by buying clothes at CHERRY'S. For instance, I needed a new suit, so I went down to CHERRY'S store in Market street and found a sale going on. And such a sale, such bargains. Think of it, May, suits that you have to pay double the price for at only $17.50. ! Quality speaks from every line; up i to date in every feature, it's a wonder Ito me that CHERRY'S can afford to ; sell such pretty clothes at such a ridiculously low price. "Credit and CHERRY'S have be ; come so linked together that I can not refer to one without the other. I never think of paying cash for my , clothes any more. It is such a con venience' to pay just a small sum I down and then add a little from week | to week or month to month as you see ! i fit. ! CHERRYS San Francisco stores i ! are at 1009 Market st. and 2400 Mis- j sion st. In Oakland the stores are at : f.2S lath st. for men and 515 13th st. > i for women.
