4 - centre around the salad bowl By MAIR M. MORGAN *A Woman's Placo Is In the Home.* A Salads Are "In" Salads are practically' synonymous with summer menus. Most family lunches and Sunday night ot course, everybody needs at least one hot dish a day no matter what the thermometer may register. Let that hot dish make its appearance at din- ner, - In so far as lunches are concern- ed, the home-maker will do well to "look to her salad recipes as long as hot weather is with us. Lettuce, endive, chicory, watercress and all the other salad greens are rich In vitamin content. They are not to be overlooked, particularly when plan- ning diets for growing children, Use Fresh Fruits The fruits which go to make up that old standby, fruit salad, 'are healthful in themselves, At this time of year you can serve fruit salad com- posed entirely of fresh. fruits. Time enough to use canned ones when the jJeason prevents you from getting fresh varieties, Pineapple, strawberries, cherries, grapefruit and oranges are abundant right now. Take advantage "of them, The dressings whicli top your salads furnish ample fat for a meal. Mayon- naise is rich In fatty content." French dressing is, or should be, about one- halt olive oil, An ideal summer salad for the main course of a luncheon or Sunday night supper Is cottage cheese with sour cream surrounded by a "ring of fresh vegetables. Place crisp lettuce around the edges of a huge platter. A mound of cottage checse goes in the centre. Sprinkle the cheese with paprika and fie chop ped chives or greeh onions, Whether ~you mix onions or chives all through the cheese depends on your family's laste. You have to add: salt and pep- per to most cottage cheese sold in ytores., If you make your own it will have been seasoned while it was warm, : Around the outer edge of the chéese put small portions of various cold yYegetables. Diced carrots, beets, peas, 'string beans; and whole *karnels ut: rorn may be included. - Celery, radish- eg, cucumbers and tomatoes can be wsed to garnish 'the lettuce between lhe vegetables. Put a spoonful of salad dressing on top of each mound of vegetables and _ pour a little sour cream- over 'the 'theese. Everyone helps himself as lhe platter is passed. . French Dressing The principal reason so many people fail to make good French dressing is that they do not put enough ingredi- ents into it. Just olive oil, vinegar and paprika are .hardly enough. . Try using pickle-juice--instead of plain vinegar, Two small slices of garlie, : two or. three whole cloves, a half cup of sugar and plenty of salt and pep to one cup of vinegar and one cup of olive oil give your French dressing a test that it never had before, ° Cottage Cheese A delightful addition to the summer menu, and easy to make, is cottage cheese, i There aro so. many attractive ways to serve it and it combines so readily with appetizing food accessories that it is a favorite standby. with many "housewives. Cottage cheese. may he made at home and it's an excellent way to use milk when {t sours. If you follow the rules carefully you can't help but have successful results and the cheese will be most 'delectable. Because it {s the protein part of the. milk, cottage cheese will take the place of meat or eggs for luncheon or supper or the ® Pe. nic meal. Simple Directions Thick curdled milk that has soured quickly is the best foundation, for a good quelity of cottage cheese and while there are several ways of mak- ing the cheese perhaps the follow: Jog is the easiest: Place the bowl containing thio thick pour milk {into a large pan of hot water. . Never let the. milk hecome more than "blood" heat. Too high a temperature toughens and hardens the curd. Let stand until thorough separa- PA placed over a colander, Gather up the four corners of the cheesecloth and hang up to drain. Let it drain until the curd {s firm and all the whey Is drained out. Remove from cheese: cloth to.a bowl and beat With. a fork, make the mixture of the right con- sistency. Add salt to "taste, usually about %t teaspoon to two cups cheese, 'Serve a big dish of cottage cheese plain, or sprinkle with "chopped chives, or mix it with minced onion, olives or cucumber- dice, or use shred: ded green pepper or pimento. Two or. three of these additions may be used in combination.' An unusual and delicious dessert tor summer meals combines unmixed cot- tage cheese with whipped cream, using equal parts of whipped cream and cheese. Serve. with strawberry or cur- rant preserves and crisp crackers. . Cool Drinks i As the thermometer mounts, re- freshing drinks made with fruit Juices become most welcome, More than this, any drink made with fruit has a definite place in the diet. 'We all recognize the importancd of eating fruit for its mineral content and vitamins, and we -should remem- ber those necessary six daily glasses of water, In a fruit punch, we find these essentials combined in a pleas- ing fashion. Scientists tell us 'that "water has the property of absorbing more heat and being less affected by that heat than any other substance. It will ab- sorb the heat from your body, and in passing off in the form of perspiration the evaporation cools you; hence there is & good reason for sipping a cooling 'beverage not-only in 'the im- mediate cooling effect but in the ulti mate effect." Charged Drinks Healthful It is also interesting to know that ginger ale and innumerable other bot- tled beverages made with "charged" or "carbinated" water are healthful drinks, according to chemical research, These heverages are of some food value due to the sugar used in their makine. 'while the fruit juices, acids add extracts and other flavors from aromatic herbs and roots as well as the carbon dioxide gas present act as a tonic and mild stimulant. In making 'drinks for summer re- too sweet. . A sugar syrup is better than plain sugar for sweetening. The flavor of .the finished drink is more bland and smooth. However, it should bd remembered that the syrup acts also as a dilutent as well as a sweet- ener and must be considered when water As added. Fruit Juices Handy Ginger ale adds sparkle and pep to a fruit punch; Carbonated water gives a tang, while tea distinctly changes | the---fltavor, These all give character to a mild punch whereas pin water merely lessens the fruity taste and in- creases the quantity. Don't hesitate to combine fruit juices. The excessive juice left from the canning of small fruits may al- ways be used to advantage in summer drinks. Lemon-or lime juice give a pleasant tartness to all fruit punches - and should be added, if at all possible, Feather Biscuit Mix together: 1% cups flour, 1 table- spoon lard, 1%, teaspoons haking pow- der, 14 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup milk (or enough milk td maké a soft dough); Bake in a quick oven, These biscuits are so easy to make and are always "ag light as a feather," too. Dressmaking Hints When cutting out a garment always use sharp .pins and scissors. Blunt ones are apt.to move the material out of position, Always use the scissors at the right side and hold the pattern firmly 'with the palm of the left hand. Pleats, and so on, in silk material, 'should be tacked with silk thread. Cot- ton or mercerized cotton will mark the stuff whem pressed. Always thread a needle with the end of the thread that first comes off the reel--not the end that you cut--and you will have no trouble with continu- ally knotting threads. adding cream, either sweet or sour," to ? freshment, take care not to make them | Rvenlig By HELEN WILLIAMS.

Sew the button on in the usual way but before finishing off, take out the pin and wind the thread several times around the stitches between button and cloth. This will form a "shank," and prevent dragging when the garment is button- ed up. On thick material use a match stitch in place of a pin. N When sewing buttons on thin ma- terial place a piece of strong tape on the wrong side and sew through both material and tape. In a pleated dress, make a small cross stitch at the base of each pleat, on the inside of the hem. These will show the position of the pleats when the garment has been washed, and help you to iron them straight. . I hear that you Mrs. Leghorn? don't like Dr. Duck.

DEBORAH'S SUMMONS: TO BARAK; Judg: 4:110, The Judges, The Book of Judges is the 'account "| ot the long period after the death of Joshua apd 'before: the. rise of. Eli and Samuel, when the Israelites had no truly national leader, when they were harassed by 'heathen tribes, The people were saved from de- struction by the rise at different emergencies of militery leaders who forced back the foreign invaders, and gave the land peace for a long- er or shorter time, Thesa leaders appeared in different tribes, some of them simultaneously, These leaders. were called Judges, and their perlod extended through dbout two and a halt centurles, There were= twelve of them, not { counting Abimelech, who was a lo- cal king and not called of God, The first of the Judges was Othniel of the tribe of Judah, who saved the people from the king ot Mesopota- mia, Next Ehud of the tribe of Ben- jamin delivered the 'Israelites from the Moabites, Shamgar, perhapg of ah, saved the people in an attack - the Philistines. Then ca..3> De- borah of Ephraim and Barak of Naphtali who deliverea the people from the aggressions of the Canaan- ites, Gideon of Manasseh fought 'and conquered the Midianites, who came in upon Israel from the east- ern "desert, Jepthah of Gilead was victorloug over the Ammonites. Ib- zan of Zebulun, Elon: also of Zebu-| Ephraim were Judges successively. Then came Sanson of the southern division of Dan, who struggled heroically against the Philistines on the west, These were the twelve Judges, 'though El who came next, while high priest, was also a Judge, and Samuel, .the last and greatest of all, was a Judge hut pre-eminently -a prophet, A Woman Tudge. -After the vic- tory 'of Ehud over the Moabitas, the land of (Canaan was at peace for eighty years, Then after Ehud's death the Israelites, untaught by their past misfortunes, again fell under the ever-present temptations of {dolatry, and the Lord "sold them into: the land" of another oppressor, The "purchaser" this time was a Canaanite king, Jabin, whose capi- tol was Hazor, "the Fort" or "the Castle". situated far in the north, near Lake Merom, in of Naphtali. Jabin means "intelli gent," and he was at least able enough 'to do a great injury to the Israelites, Ho a颮mplished his cruel deedg through a pewerful gen: eral named Slsera. : } "Now Deborah'. Hé name means "a bee," Rebekah's nurse had the same mame. 'A prophetess." She was a woman through whom God revealed His will, as he: revealed it through the prophets, "The wife of Lappidoth.," A man of whom we know nothing except that he was the husband of Deborah. "She judg- ed Israel at that time," At the time when Jabin and Sisera wera harry- ing the people to the north of her, Though far away from the scene of their depredations, Deborah had a heart of sympathy for all suffering, and she was a true patriot. "And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment." For the decision of disputes, the settlement of difficulties. "She did not go on circuit like Samuel. but sat at home In Mt, Ephraim 'under the tree to which she' gaye her name." 'She was 'the one person of her day In whom the authentic word "ft 000 found utterance." "And she sent and called Barak," His name means "Lightning"--a good name for a soldier. "And sald unto him." He came, eldently, a distin guished general, at the command of a woman, "Hath not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded," A defin- '| ite statement put in the form of a question. "Saying, go and draw un- to mount Tabor," "And 'take with thee ten thousand men of the child- ren of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? These, with Issachar, which also sent a strong contingent to the battle, were northern tribes, and go mose erposed to Sisera's in rdads. "And T will draw unto thee." So Influence that he will come to at- tack thee, "Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude," "The original fs very expressive of the mixed - host which constituted Sirera's army. "And I will deliver him into thy hand," God promised to put Sisqra into the power of BaBrak, though Barak was 50 weak, comparatively, and Sisera so mighty, Thus God "And Barak sald unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then .I will go." Barak wag.lesy heroic than Deborah; for though the general would not go to the battle without thg prophetess Deborah, we may be . sure, oo have gone to the battle without Ba. rak, {f necessary, "BBut it thou wilt not go with me, I.will not go." "Ba- rak's refusal to go without Deborah may reasonably be attributed rather to piety than to fear, Especially as we read of no hesitation In coming at the first call of Deborah. . "And she sald, I will surely go with thee." No hésitaiton here, no doubt, mo. cowardly: conditions, De- borah might have said, "L will go, If I may stay protected in the rear"; or, "I will go, If first you will ralse an army of a hundred . thousand men." ~~ But Deborah simply said, right off, "I will sufely go with thee." "Notwithstanding, the journey that thou takest shall not -be for thine honor; . for Jehovah will 'sell Sisera into the hand of a woman," "Sixing upon him -a logk in wcich pity; sor- row, and indighation were blended, eaoetaoin h shrdlu wemfw shoup m the prophetess "replied, "If this is thy decision, I will. surely 'accom- pany thee, Since thoy wilt not go except a woman go with thee, the Lord will delivér thine adversary name and not thine shall be handed down to future generations as the deliverer of her people.'" "And De- borah arose, and went with Barak to Keresh," "It was not an easy jour- ney, especially to a home-loving and home-keeping woman like Deborah; but she cared not for thehardships of the way, : "And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtalf together to Kedesh. He called the chiefs together at Ko- desh, and they summoned their fol- lowers quietly, In small companies, s0 as mot to attract the -attention of the enemy, they proceeded to the rendezvous. thousand men at his feet." "On the territory' foot," perhaps; Maffatt trans'ates "it, "at his: back," "dnd Deborah went up with him." "Evidently to Tabor, in accordance with her in- structions." Il. BARAK'S SISERA, Judg, 4:11.24, Great Power, "And Sisera Gather- ed together gall his. vhariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron," "Tid- ingg soon reached the headquarters ol Sisera, VICTORY OVER Sisera's "And Deborald' sald unto Barak, Up; for this is the day .in which Jehovah hath delivered Sisera: into thy hand." Her wards 'sound like the peal of a trumpet. She was the real 7 commander-in-chfef. "Is . not Jehovah gone out before thee?" That was the real confidence, the true. omen of -success, "So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him." Ba- rak allowed Sisera to selec this own ground. Hsl men werq highlanders, axed tofigliting In the hills; but they abandoned the mountain fastness, and went forward boldly to meet Sisera and his iron chariots on the plain, It was a splendid evidence of trust in their Divine Leader. "And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his charfots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak." "And, Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet," - None of his boasted multl- tude of {ron chariots remained. to succor him, The course of .the bat- tle we are left to draw from De- borah's ode of triumph, "Sisera, vanquished, is forced to trust to his own feet, and, jaded, and exhausted, he arrives at the tent of Heber the Kenite, wife of Héber comes forth to meet him, invites him hospitality into her tent and provides him with food and a; couch. He falls asleep, imagin- ing himself safe. --Then Jael, taking ona of the pins of the tent, drives it with a hammer into the temples of the sleeping man, and he lies slain after all his valor and distinction, hy the hand of a woman, Opinions have been divided as to the charac- ter of Jael"s act. It was.that of an assassin, but was the assassin a heroine or a criminal? Did she avenge the wrongs of her country and 50 také her place beside such women as Joan of Arc, Charlotte Corday, and others "whose patriot- fsm none can doubt? Or was she simply a woman who committed murder with a diabolical Ingenuity? Deborah, whose magnificent song of triumph runs the entire gamut of melody, sald that Jael was blessed above all women. Deborah voiced the sentiment of the time, The stars in their course had fought against Sigera, and it was hls destiny to per Ish in the way that he would have most hated." : nooigitnrnile Te A doctor pronounced Mra.
