RAN By Mair M. Morgan CHEESE DISHES Cheese is not: a seasonal food, but the high percentage of fat which it contains makes it a particularly valuable food to use during the cold weather when the body requires ex- tra heat. It's protein content should not be overlooked, for cheese is one of a limited number of economical |: foods which provides the body with the necessary tissue-building mater- ial. During the coming months the supper problem may be solved by preparing such nourishing, appetiz ing cheese dishes as: Escalloped Potatoes with Cheese Wash, pare and sliver very thin- ly, medium sized potatoes. Butter a baking dish and place a layer of potatoes in bottom, Season with salt and pepper, and dredge with flour, Cover with grated - cheese. Repeat until dish is full, Pour in sufficient hot milk to reach top layer of potatoes, Bake in a moderate: oven until potatoes are cooked (about one hour). Cover during first part of the baking.

Sift the flour, baking powder. and salt together and rub in the fat B evenly, Add the grated cheese and enough milk to make a soft dough. Roll, cut in shapes and bake in a hot oven. The dough should be handled as quickly as possible and mixed only enough to blend the ingredients. Potato and Cheese Salad Mix finely chopped or grated cheese with coid potatoes "vi in cub- es. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with salad dressing. Place by spoonfuls on lettuce leaves and serve cold. Chopped celery, finely minced onion or pimento in small pieces may be added and give variety to the salad. AN ENGLISH RECIPE Two or three kidney,s two rashers of bacon, pepper, salt and mustard, two or: three large potatoes. Split each kidney in half, #ub with mustard, pepper: and salt. Cut the potatoes in half. and scoop out a little from the centre--large enough to take a halfkidney. Place the kidneys--into tHe potatoes with the cut side downwards, cut the rashers in half, sprinkle with a little pepper, and place on top of each half-potato. Place two half potatoes together and tie with a piece of string. Bake in .oven for one hour or until potatoes are cooked. To attain the best re- sults, choose very large potatoes, LEMON MINCEMEAT And here we have a recipe that results in a delicious flavor. The ee eee family is sure to enjoy ples with this filling. ; Ingredients; ' °* 4 lemons. 2 apples. 1 pound carbantd 14 cup raisins. 3% cup chopped nuts. 14 cup melted butter. 2 cups sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1. teaspoon ground: cloves 1 teaspoon ground ginger. 1 teaspoon ground allspice, Squeeze juice from lemons and cook peel until soft. Put through meat-chopper and then. rub through a sieve. Add chopped apples and re- maining ingredients, mix well and store in jars, Use as a filling for turnovers and pies. FRUIT CAKES And if you haven't started that all-important item--the Christmas cake--here is a good line-up to re- fresh your memory of the necessary ingredients. % cup butter, 1 cup sugar. 1 cup orange juice. 3 cups sifted flour. 4 teaspoons baking powder, 14 teaspoon salt. 1% cup seedless raisins. 3% cup candied orange peel. 14 cup candied lemon peel. ¥% cup candied cherries. 1% cup chopped nuts, 'Whites of 3 eggs.

Bake in loaf pan in a moderate oven (325 degrees) for one, hour. : KINKS Curtains Stay Clear Longer If you have trouble in keeping freshly laundered: curtains from be- coming soiled by blowing' out the window, 'ake a heavy thread and fasten the ends with thumb tacks to the side of the window. casing about six. inches from the window sill. This prevents the curtains from blowing out and is scarcely observable, With the Food Chopper . Fasten a paner bag over the end of the food '| pper with an elastic band, when grinding stale bread for .breadcriumbs, and there will be no 'cleaning up process afterward. New Use for Muffin Pan For tacks, screws, nails and such, use. a set of muffin pans to keep them in. Have a..tinner solder a handle across the pan, and it will be found very convenient to carry about and one. can see at once just what is needed. If added to this is a 'set of 'tools' that are found put up in a hollow handle, a hammer and small saw, one can repair many things 'about the house. - When Diners Are Late To keep dinners hot, without hav- ing them dry out, place food on plat- ters and vegetable dishes on which they are to be served, and put in the oven. Leave the oven turned on full and leave the -door wide open. Sunday School Lesson LESSON Xl|--December. 18 THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LORD'S SUPPER.,--1 Corinthians 11 : 23-34. GOLDEN TEXT--"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come,--1 Corinthians 11 : 26. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--Paul wrote his first letter to the church in Corinth. during his pit missionary journey, "A.D. 53- Place--The letter was written in Ephesus, where Paul was making a nouncement of "their enga Lord Birkenhead, who The Earl of Birkesihead photographed with his fiancee, the Hon.

Miss Berry is the cecond daughter of Lord and Lady Carrose. She is 21. "For I received of the Lord" We must remember ever that the Lord himself instituted the communion feast, and it is not a man-made or- dinance. We go to it at the invi- tation of the Son of God. "That which also I delivered unto you." What Christ impresses on our minds we are to pass on to other minds: "That the Lord Jesus in the night in-which he was betrayed took bread." The writer might have set down the same night in which he washed the dis- 'ciples' feet," with the fine suggestion of a moral and spiritual cleansing before men should eat and drink at the table. . "And when he had given thanks.' Our Lord was in the habit of giving thanks before every meal, in gratitude to his Father who had provided the food. "He break it." "And said." He knew that, even after: all his pro- 'phecies of his coming crucifixion, his disciples would not enter into the meaning of the rite unless he un- folded it-to them plainly. "This is my body, which is (broken, margin) for you, "This do in remembrance of me." This do means, Take this bread and eat it, as more clearly in Matt. 26 : 26; Luke 22 : 19; Take, eat. ; "In like manner also the cup, after supper." This implies that the bread was taken as part of the passover feast, al the wine after it. "Say- ing, This cup is the new covenant in my blood." The Old Covenant or Old Testament is the covenant] the Lord made with- Abraham and. his people, 'sealed with sacrifices. The covenant idea runs all through the Old Testament. The New Covenant between God and man was also seal- ed with sacrifical blood, the blood of the Lamb of God, not needing re- newal, like the Old Covenant, for the sacrifice was made for us 'once for all on Calvary. : "This do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me." In His in- finite tenderness and foresight Christ provided a universal and omnipresent reminder of himself. , _ "For as often as 'ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim | the Lord's death till he come." The Lord's supper is a witnessing festival, and. evangelizing feast. It makes a pro- clamation. It tells the story of . the Cross. i "Wherefore whosoever shall i eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unwdérthy manner." Not merely, say Estius, with a mind! dis: tracted by worldly thoughts, though' that is not to be commended, but in irreverent spirit, in. a frame: of mind unsuitable to so solemn an 'act; without faith in, or a thankful re- membrance of, the great mystery therein commemorated. "Shall, be guily of the body. and the blood of the Lord."" They are chargeable with insulting the memorials of Christ's death and so virtually the sacrificial death itself; on the same principle long stay of nearly three years, that he who insults his country's: flag insults his country and is a traitor. "But let a man prove. himself." "Examine himself in the King James version. The Lord's table is not to: be approached hecedlessly and thoughtlessly, but after careful self- correction. ! "And so let him eat of the bread, heed of the meaning and purpose of the supper, and go, -- not merely and then, but so, -- in that manner, in Christ's own way. "For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he. discern not the body." That is, if a man does not partake of the Lord's supper as a sacred memorial of Christ's body sacrificed for his sin, he is taking into him- self, at is were eating and drinking, his own condemnation. He is feast- ing on his own punishment. "For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep (the sleep of death). We are not always- to connect "Sickness with 'sin, Sickness is often.due to inherit- ed weakness and often to accident or contagion. - But there is no doubt that God often does punish sin with weakness, sickness, and death--pro- bably far more frequently than any amined ourselves carefully and so avoided our sins), we should not be judged." The penalty need not fall upon us, because the sin need not ibe committed. God never punishes willingly. : "But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." If the Corinthians were punished by the Lord, it was for their good. Their chastening was to free them from worldly entanglements, that they might not be joined with 'he world in its condemnation. "Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another." Some of the Corinthians, in their greed, could not wait for the arrival of the other church members, one realizes. . "But if we discerned ourselves (ex- but must fall to on. the - sacrificial feast without them--so low were their standards in those pioneer days. } "If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming to- gether be not unto judgment." Eat- ing at home before the communion service would prevent the display of gluttony and greed which the apostle so [justly condemned. "And the rest 'will I get in order whensoever I come." Paul was soon to go from Ephesus through Macedonia back to Corinth. The abuses in the adminis- tration of the Lord's supper were reformed in-two ways. The love- feasts preceding the sacrament were -gradually abandoned, and the time for celebrating the Lord's supper was changed from evening to morn: ing, The Lord's supper is a great sym- bol, It sets before us: the incarnation and drink of the cup." Let him take |. 'and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord. In the Lord's supper thus we confess our faith. Should Mothers Fight Child's Battles Generally Speaking "No" But Some Cases Are Ex- ceptional and Need Special Handling Should mothers fight their children's battles? To all mothers, this question looms up, colors the earth, the air, the sky, at one time or another during their children's developnient. There is the Big Bully at school; and there is little John.... ! . "Oh, leave them alone," cries father when she gets all worked up about little John. "He will have to go through it sooner or later; and the less parents interfere the better a boy gets on at school. Why, when I was a youngster--" But mother interrupts impatiently. For her child is always so much more liable to hurt than his father. "John is sensitive," she says. "He came home today, his nose pouring with blood. It was that horrid boy again. You know Robert, that aloof attitude of yours can be carried too far.' NOT INDIFFERENT But it isn't that the father is in- different. He loves his small son, his little daughter, with tenderness. If he could he would divert all pain, all harm from them. It makes him, who should be their strong protector, their God, - feel futile when they suffer. If they are ill the mother can dash about im: portantly, and do things, thrust a thermometer into their mouths, get hot water bottles, give a dose, stick on a poultice; while he just stands about, impotent, wrung by anguish. .. When he sees his boys are having a hard time, being "put upon" by others, having their little noses punched, their heads sat upon, he would like to dash out and deal chastisement where chastisement is due. But he holds his arm. Sym. pathy, he feels, is also out of place. The youngsters must learn to fight their own battles. A MOTHER'S PLAINT Whereas the mothers. But listen to what one mother says about it. "I want you to tell me just what I ought to do," she says. "My hus- band's business takes him away a great deal, so the responsibility of bringing up the family devolves upon me. I have a little daughter of three and two boys, aged seven and nine. They have gone to a new school and at first were very happy, but now I find that the elder boy is constantly being set upon by an- other, the bully of the school. "This hoy makes the lives of all passionate. the smaller boys wretched and now it is evidently my son's turn. Re cently he forced Ronnie to kneel down in the playground and before a jeering ring of others, recite the Lord's Prayer! I only heard of this by accident from my younger son, who made me promise not to say anything, but 1 am both indignant and worried. I feel like going out and talking to this "bully myself next time he passes (he lives quite near) nor complaining to his mother. "Ronnie is quite changed and looks thin and afraid. I know my husband would say that one should ignore all this, and that anyhow, it would 'all come out in the wash' And my boy would hate it if I went to school and made a fuss. . . ." WHEN FUSS IS NECESSARY But it seems to us that a fuss is necessary here. Bullying where it existed used. to be tacitly ignored by the scholastic powers. Indeed many teachers re- garded it almost as part of a curri- culum which taught the youngsters that to "go through it" without But not now. School is recognised as the train- ing ground par excellence for after life. Here things begin to take on relative importances and values. And the whole scheme and system of character-forming this implies is up- set if a strong, cruel and thoughtless boy is allowed to tyrannise over the younger and smaller fry. Our correspondent will "make a mistake, however, if she angrily tackles the bully herself or speaks to his mother who will, naturally, defend her son. The matter is one for the school to deal with, and one day, without saying anything to her children, she should go quietly to the Principal and lay before him this in- formation. Not because the com- plaint specifically concerns her own child, but because he should know about it, as an item of importance in the life of the school. For the modern school principal is not tolerant of ragging. Versed in psychology, he knows the dire effects squealing was all part of the game.i of bullying on tender minds, and the complexes of fear and inferiority thus set up. He knows that -one| overbearing and cruel boy can do untold harm in a school, not only among his wretched little victims, but also in spreading the habit of cruelty. She need not worry that her boy will suffer as the result of her visit. The principal, if he is wise, will not have the two boys hailed in front of: him. to face the mother, thus spread- ing the news in the school that the smaller boy had "told" and there- fore was a "muff." He will watch, secure evidence, and take measures to deal with the bully, and see that! the tendency to cruelty is wiped out. Of course, in the larger issues, her, husband is right. Things that ave regarded as of great importance at And the young ones must learn to stand up for themselves. If they come crying every time anything happens and expect mother to go out and fight their battles for them, her/ hands will be full. ~ GAINING SELF-RELIANCE And they will never learn self re- liance and courdge. Sometimes it is necessary for a mother, however much she loathes it, to stand by and let two combatants, of whom her son is one, fight it out. If they are evenly matched, her interference can do no good. But, of course, fighting is a fool's game; and children must be edu- cated into thinking of better ways. The only thing a mother can do is to give her boys and girls a ground- work of character which, because it will enable them to eee things straightly and to deal fairly with others, will sustain them through troubloug times. Gaiety and light-heartedness are grand bulwarks against the petty storms of life. When the children come in with a long tale of woe, in- stead of encouraging them to self- pity they might be taught to laugh; at things. To turn the tragic inci- dent into a farce, even when one is the centre of it, is an art that can- not be too early learnt; and it car- ries one a long way. 13 12 'MUT1 AND JEFF-- TURKISH BATH §.

The vogue for white in place of color has been introduced within the past few years most successfully and the effect is a super-daintiness which cannot be denied. Pastel in its soft- ness, with here and there a bright dash of vivid color, there is a fresh- ness to it that appeals whether or not. Many combinations of white or off white are offered in this modern spectram and emancipation that would surprise the harassed house- holder of a decade or so ago. For. merely in planning to redecorate 1t was the custom to turn to a neutral wall tint, then came the period of tinted background with refreshing tones of green, robin's egg blue, ytl- low and peach. Having passed through the chromatics of color we are presented with the question of white for modern rooms as well as for period styles. BIZARRE NOTES Bizarre effects in black and white are now designed for halfways, white walls being accentuated by statuary in black, black furniture upholstered in black patent leather, while the floor "of marble in some instances'a futuristic pattern cffected through a clever arrangement of black and white. Lighting schemes have much to de with this scheme in the pastel tones and there .is scope for the original in the clever ways of lighting indirect- ly or by softly shaded lamps that're- fleet a warm note to the delicacy of the picture. : In using white and achieving 32 pleasing color effect the scope at hand is unlimited. Sometimes walls | lacquered in white are offset with a ceiling of flat white calcimine with cornices moulded in gold leaf. Doort and windows are painted white, tha baseboard. around the room also of white with the bottom trim carried out in the darkest shade expressed is the rug. This helps to conceal clean ing marks. Can you imagine tht brilliancy of the effect when red satin damask or brocade hangings mre2us-. ed suspended from carved wooden valance boards. Glass curtains maj be of white mull fringed with sill covered tassels in red and yellow. PLEASING WHOLE Now it is not absolutely essentia to have one's home carried out in the period style because a far more pleasing whole is achieved through the happy combining of ancient and modern pieces. Long mirrors with carved gilded frames and an old fashioned marble top rosewood table bearing a choice piece of crystal which makes the scene festive when filled with bright colored blooms The use of mirrors helps very con- siderably to enhance the beauty of a room. And with the use of some in- tense color touch such as a gorgeous piece of ruby glass, and the density of ebony or black lead used in artis- tic ércations, helps beyond words to express pleasantly a modern scheme for interior furnishings. " Very often the use of ecru, ivory and cggshell lustre helps to give in- terest, antique onk combined with cream leather and deep ivory fin- ished to resemble old lacquer are some of the tricks that spell wiz- ardry in the color scheme. Worry Worry is the most useless thing in "the world. No matter how serious your troubles, worry cannot help them, Too much worry shortens life. And too much of the worrying is done uselessly. An intelligent mental survey of your problems will avoid it. Separato the real from the false problems and stop worrying. "For every trouble under the sun, there's a remedy or there's none." "If there is one try to find it, {if there is none never mind it." In thinking of your problems al- ways keep this in mind: Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. This is an excellent guide for pre- gent troubles in the light of past ex- periences. Intelligent thoughts solve pro- blems; worry only muddles the issue. An old man looking back over his life said: "I've had a lot of trouble in my life but the most. of it never happened." Face the issues when they issues or about to become so, stop worrying. You'll live longer, be happier and be a better citizen.
