Itis a trifle early to remove your slip covers and summer curtains, but within the next two weeks, with the coming of shorter days. and cooler--you'll feel the need of.a warmer-looking room in which to "live." The first necessity will be to remove those furnishings which have achieved the coolness you desired dur- fog the summer months. In order to keep the colors fresh and the fabric intact, don't put your slip covers away goiled, The longer dirt remains in fabric, the harder it is to remove. Gritty particles «sink deep into the fibres, causing them to weaken and eventually wear out. The majority of | summer furnishings are made of tub: fast materials so it is easy to remove the soil in a soapy warm water bath, Rollithem up, unironed, and put them away in neatly tagged bundles. : Other Items While thesa things are being cared for arrange to have painters, plumbers and carpenters attend to any odd jobs that may have accumulated during the: summer, HE Make sure the furnace and radiators are in good condition, and that the * washers on kitchen and bathroom taps are working as: they should. . Screen and awnings should be taken down, cleaned and stored. Windows and Shades . Your windows will all require wash- - ing and look to the shades too. ~ If qithey're the washable kind, lay them on a flat surface and scrub them on: both sides with warm soapy water, If you're not quite sure whether the shades will stand the scrubbing, wipe them with a cloth wrung out of luke: warm soap suds. N = ~ Walls and Woodwork " Walls and woodwork may be fresh- ened by washing. Papered walls may be quickly cleaned by wiping them down: with a feather duster or broom that has a soft cloth wrapped tightly around ' it. Radiators when :dusted -usually reveal a heavy deposit of grit which 1s best removed with warm suds and a long handled radiator brush, ~The floors, too, will need a bath or a polishing of wax depending upon the kind of wood of which they are made. It won't take long to lay the rugs, hang fresh curtains and rearrange the furniture. Once the house is in ship-sfiape order, day by day cleaning systematically planned, should keep it comfortably inviting during the fall and winter. _ Fashion Trends . Now that all the famous fashion creators of Paris have given their dis- plays and tried to decree what women shall wear this winter, here is a sum- mary ofthe prevailing trends. : The silhouette may be - anything. Some designers have adopted the slim semi-Grecian effect, with flowing lines, while others have toyed with the hobble-skirt, the hoop-skirt, and even "Naughty Nineties" touches. Heavy rich materials are used every- where, and they help the bustle effects aiid big sleeves. pis! Feathers, furs and fancy ribbons run riot through. the new fashions, many coats being divided into half fur and half fabric. Walstlines, for the most part, are normal, They may be moved up or down, depending on one's taste. Skirts, generally, are an incli 'or two longer. Shoulders are well defined by some designers and ignored by others. Sleeves continue to be puffed at the shoulder: but not so much as before. The lower part of fhe sleeve remains tight, unless it is bell-shaped, in which case it is designed so that it can be turned back to the shoulder to. give an odd holero effect. Colors are off-shades of -red, blue brown, green and grey. Shoes are plain, in quiet colors matching costumes. There are some oxceptions of bright shades. Hats are small and shaped like mushrooms and eye-cups;, They are of crocheted, knitted and felt for daytime and; tulle and velvet for evening with some metal and cloth of gold for variety. : Gloves: are cuffed for daytime and Md cn ge ono Bah a 4 oe > > henna I reach to the shouldér for the evsulug, Evening Gown Accessories Alittle skull cap of shirred black velvet and gloves to match are hand- some accessories for a white evening gown, They are the kind of little hats iwhich will" make you want to keep (them on during the whole evenlug. The Useful Lemon * Always keep two or three lemons in your kitchen. It's amazing how many ways they may be used to dress up the food you serve. * For instance, one slice of lemon in a cup of clear bouillon gives the soup a tart flavor, and a decorative touch, Peaches, bananas und apples which have been peeled and sliced turn black when exposed a short while. But they won't-turn black at all it you sprinkle them with fresh lemon juice as soon as they are sliced, : : Cod Salad This is a delicious fish dish. Re- move bones and skin from the remains of cooked cod. Put some chopped let- tuce in a ple dish, then put alternate layers of fish and lettuce, sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with a hard-boiled egg cut into rings, Chicken With Tomatoes Take a young chicken, cut it in 'seven pieces: the wings, the legs, the drumsticks, and the breast," and sprinkle them with salt. Melt in a saucepan a piece of butter the size of a walnut and a tablespoon olive oll. Toss the pieces of chicken until they are slightly browned, then add one smail onion and two shallots finely chopped and a small glass cooking sherry. Stir well, cook one minute, aid add a tablespoon puree of tomato] a little minced spice, cover the sauce- pan, and cook slovly for twenty min- utes or a little more, according to the size of the chicken. 174 Meanwhile, peel half-a-dozen toma- toes and remove the pips, cut them coarsely, and cook the pieces in-butter for five minutes. - Remove the pieces of chicken, dis- pose them in a serving dish with the pieces of .tokn#&toes on tcp; sprinkle just a little chopped parsley, and pour the sauce in. which the chicken has cooked all over through a strainer. This dish should 'be highly spiced, Stuffed Green Peppers s Remove the contents of a large can of boneless 'sardines and chop finely. Mix with two large cup: of bread: crumbs or hoiled rice, season with salt, pepper, lemon. juice and a little Worcestershire sauce. Fill hollowed out green peppers and place In a cas- erole, Pour around the peppers two cups of well-seasoned tomato sauce and bake in-a slow oven for one hour. 3 Cooking Cabbage Cabbage fs most delicious when cooked in a covered pan with very lit- tle water. Cover the bottom of a ket- tle with about half an inch of water, add a good-sized plece of butter or bacon fat and then put in the shredded cabbage. Cover the kettle and cook until tender. : Household Hints Sardine tins may he opened more easily if a strong skewer Is pushed through the key-handle. | Don't throw away melted ice cream, add to it a little dissolved gelatine and a drop of.flavoring, and uge it as part of a trifle, or with cold stewed fruit. Jelly for a sweet omelet will spread better if it is beaten to thedesired con- sistency first, Eggs, found. to peel quite easily if cracked at either end instead of round the mid- dle. [Ba When storing dry goods such as herbs, cornstarch, etc., in glass jars, stick the labels inside the jar; they will remain clean and cannot rub off. After washing net curtains, hang them up at once wet, allow to dry at the window; pull them slightly from time to time to keep the shape. A few drops of salad oil put into the water in which wash-leathers are washed leaves them soft and velvety. To loosen a glass stopper, rub a lit- tle oil round it and place near heat. Tap the stopper lightly and you will find it comes out easily when boiled hard, will _be] Sunday School Lesson 4 En = a Lesson XH ,--September 17. Solomon. ~~!

B.C. 995. Death of Solomoa, B.C. $33. PL ACE--Jerusalem, $ SoLoMON THE BUILDER, 1 Kings 5-7, Solomon's Temple--It was David's earnest desire to build in Jerusalem a great temple to Jehovah, to take the place of the Tent which through so many centuries, mended over and over, had served as the presence-chamber of the Most High. But this honorable ambition of his was denied by the Lord because he was a man of war, and God's house should be built by a man of peace; but he was consoled by the divine promise that his successor should be allowed to erect the sacred edifice, and that, accorcingly, Solomon made one of his chief aims. The tem- ple he built was accounted one of the seven woaders of the ancient world. SoroMON's ASSEMBLY, 1 Kings 8:1-5, "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' house. of the children of Israel." The temple was finished and its contents had been deposited in it except the most important of all, the ark. .of the covenant. "Unto king Solomon. in Jerusalem." Which henceforih was to be more than ever before the capital of the ration, the centre to which all hearts turned. "To bring uy the ark of the covenant of Jehovah." That sacred chest, made by divine direction in the days of Moses, containing the two stone tables of the Law, the Com- mandments, with for a lid'the golden mercy seat, with th? two golden cheru- bim facing each other above it. 'Out of the city of David, which, is Zion." David captured Jerusalem from the heathen Jebusites, who had held the place from the first entrance of the Israelites into Canaan. "Aad a'l the men of Israel "assent: bled chemselves. unto king Solomon. Representative government has run through many ages, it is no modern discovery. "At Lhe feast." This was tho feast of tcbernacles or booths, held at th. c.relusis< of the harvest. "In the month Et:anim, which is the sev- enth month." = As the Jewish year be- gan in 'April (at the spring equinox) the seventh month would correspond to « r.October. "And all the elders of Israel came." e Leads of the various families or lar "And the priosts took up the arl:." Thus it was borne from place to place through the wilderness, and on the few occasions when it was touched or looked into irreverently, those who did so instantly cied. See 1°Sam. 6:19; 2 Sam, 6:6-11. "And they brought up tne ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting." Ti.is was not the tabernacle made vy Moses in the wilderness, which had long ago disappeared, but was a new tent for the meeting f God and man, furnished by David when ke brought the ark to the city of David. "And all the 'holy vessels that were in the Tent." These holy vessels probably included the table of shewbread, the golden candlestick, and the altar of incense, with the various utensils coa- nect.l with these. "Even there did the priests and the Levites bring up." The priests were members of the tribe of Levi, but were set apart for the higher work of the sanctuary, such as offering the sacrifices. ~~. "And king Solomon and ail the con- gregation of Israel, that were assem- blel unto him." All the representa- tives of the peopl:, named above. "Were with-hi:n before the ark." Not in the sanctuary itself, of course, but in the court outside. "Sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for. multitu: o."" The object of the sacrifices was to testify the gretleful joy of the people at the proximate realization of their hopes. THe TempLe Deoicatep, 1 Kings 8: 6-66. "And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place." The ark passed into the dark- ness of the Oracle, and was seen no more till it was carried away oy Nebu- chadnezzar four centuries afterwards. "Into the oracle of the housa, to the most holy place." The Most Holy Place is called the oracle because it was from there that the voice of Je- hovah proceeded. "Even under the wings of the cherubim," The cheru- him were images perhaps in the form of angels, of gigantic size They slm- bolized the presence and approach: ability of Jehovah, : "Ror the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark." Thus they were in the attitude of worship, and symbolized -he adoration due to Visit of the Queen (f Sheba, | God. "And the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereol above," These mysterious beings represented alco the mystery that surrounds all end the at Wg n e staves were so long tha the ends of the staves were oy fat the holy place before thc oracle; but they were not seen withoul," It is suggested 'hat the withdrawal of the staves was intended as a sign that the ark had reached the place of its rast, and was not to be borne about any ore. "And there they are unto this day." Up to the time when this por- tion of 'the Bible was written--not, of | course, after the destructio' of Jeru- salem and the temple, : "There was nothing in the ark sav the two tables of stone." The stone tablets on which the Ten Command-, ments were written by the finger of the Almighty. "Which Moses put there at Horeb." The first tables were broke by Moses in his wrath at {he making of the golden calf, and after the repentance of the people Jehovah wrote two other tables. "When Je- hovah made a covenant 'ith the chil- dren of Israel, when they came-out of the land of Egypt." It was a coven- ant to b their protecting. God so.long.} as they obeyed the Law written on the stones, . "And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place." The exterior compartment of the sanctuary. "That the cloud filled tie house of Jehovah." The bright Shechinah of the Divine Presence, at once cloud and fire--which had been the sign of the pretence of God on Sinai and had hallowed the consecra. tion o.' the tablernacle, now similarly descena@d. on the temple, as a sign of it: acceptance with God. © "So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud,' The splendor of the divine light was overpowering, "For the glory of Jehovah filled 'he house- of Jehovoh." There was no place where it was not, and the priests were compelled, to flee into the court. -- eee ""IN THE AIR" ~° Radio's All-Star - Presentations OO ° ° > <> > WAVE LENGTHS 2 " f Kilo- Station - go "Metres Cycles CKNC, Toronto ..seee.. 291. 1030 CFCF, Montreal .. 600 CFCH, North Bay 930 CFCO, Chatham ,. < 1210 CFRB, Toron. ... g 690 CKAC, Montreal ...... 730 CKCR,* Waterloo -...... 466 645 CRCT,, Toronto ...1... 313 960 CHML, Hamilton ...... 340 890 CRCO, Ottawa ... 1010 CKOC, Hamilton . 1010 CKPC.

More Citrus Fruits For Great Britain Trade Dispute Between Aus- tralia and New Zealand -- Results in Large Supply for United Kingdom A disguised trade dispute between Australia and New Zealand has led to the deflectdpn of large supplies of Aus- tralian citrus fruits to the British Mar- market. : The dispute began when Australia placed an embargo on New Zealond po- tatoes, ostensibly because of the fear of introducing a potato disease into Australia." This move, however, was regarded as protection for Australian potato growers. . AN Then New Zealand placed an embar- go on Australian citrus fruits because of the possibility of the introduction of a fruit disease, stating that she had been informed by the United States that New Zealgnd fruit would not be permitted to enter America if fruit from a country in which a fruit disease existed. ' ~ So Australian citrus fruit growers found themselves with a surplus of fruit valued at £130,000 on their hands, and looking for new markets, decided that an Ottawa agreement preference of 3s, 6d. a cwt, made the United King- dom their best mark. = Already this season 56,000 cases of citrus fruits have been dispatched or packed for export to Britain. - ' No Signs Of It The world is getting worse, say the péssimists, Yet a local church was packed to the doors for a week-day mission the other day.--St. Thomas Times-Journal, ---- -- : / ely J hy Rit yr y ee 2 LS SESS --- A I - R-- EE MUTT AND JEFF-- By BUD FISHER ET PONCHO, THE ONLY WAY WE CAN MAKE Lf TWERES THE EAGLE Now, SITTING Wil CAKE THAT, | Erman Hem asin ee lot. | HET Baie 3 L 4 : ' ---- AT 'i err penis OR SOMETHING ANDILOAN ME JE AZ 1 imp) AND 4 HHN & YOUR PISTOL, PONCHO! gomeert=s Ld a % | Missed _---- ed Was the Eagle!

Gh Pearson, by a yard, amid eunthusiastie, cheers. i "It's warm work," said the Duke aa he flung down his load of pebbles at the end of the race. For 48 hours the Duke became a boy again, joining in the games and uncoinventialities of camp life with as much zest as the youngest camper. Although he did not go to his teat until nearly midnight, he was upwith the earliest camper at 7 o'clock re veille. Three-quarters of an hour later he was striding in the brilliant mora: jing sunshine towards the large marque for a bacon-and-eggs breakfast with his camp mates. : Walking at the head of a large crowd of campers, the Duke went down for a swim just before luncheon, Taking a neat header into the sea, he struck out. strongly and swam about 60 yards out--well past the pa trolling boats, "Afterwards he dried open on the beach.

Modern five and six-room houses with front and back yards can be pro vided for this price, she Insists, it the proper set-up for financing is arranged under municipal ownership. England is furnishing such low-priced housing in many communities in-areas adjacent to_its cities, she says. so --Survey Made "It was recently established through a survey of 1,100 families made by the . united neighborhood houses," said Mrs. Hanning, "that the average family in New:York City is expending 45 per cent. of the family income for rent.
