Most of us can afford 'to forget that distasteful -- and frequently faddish command, "Don't cat this ad don't eat that" it we will merely use a little common sense, . "Don't overload your stomach with heavy foods. See that your meat, fish and bread are balanced with milk, vegetables .and fruits. Eat a little less as the weather gets warmer." Really, if wa foliow thesé rules wo need not worry ourselves to death about calories, over-weight and under-nourishment. * During cold weather we need foods which are sources of quick energy to keep the body warm, but as spring -advances we may reduce the quantity of these foods. The ¢raving. for more food may be appraised by eating more liberally of light dishes Luscious 'gingerbread and milk for lunch; healthful sal- ads; plenty of greens; these will help you to prevent spring fever. Try the following. recipes this spring substituting these delicious dain- ties for some of your heavier foods. .Spring Gingerberad 2 cups sifted cake-flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder 1 teaspoon soda 2 teaspoons ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1% teaspoon salt 1/8 cup butter or other shorten- co ing : 1% cup sugar' 1 egg beaten 2/3 cup molasses 8% cup sour milk or buttermilk Sift flour once, measure add bak- ing powder, soda, spices, and salt, and sift together tree times.

This easy recipe is made with a pig's head and two feet. Wash the head in salted water, carefully re- 'moving, the veins, nostrils, eyes and brains. Then split it into pieces and salt them well. Put the brains into a separate dish and salt them too. Leave the head in salt for four days, rubbing it every day. On the fifth day, wash it well and place in a saucepan with the feet. Cover with cold water, add a tur- nip, salt, pepper an onion, a blade of mace, half a teaspoon mixed spice, three or four peppercorns, and two teaspoon mixed herbs. Simmer gently with lid on, 'until meat is tender and leaves bones easily. Remove the meat from the liquor, take 'out the bones and tongue and cut the meat into pieces. Skin the tongue, cut it into strips, and with these decorate a mold. Return the cup up meat - to the liquor from which the vegetables and seasoning have been strained, and boil for twenty minutes, to reduce the quan- tity. : B; Pour all into a mould without dis- turbing the picces of tongue, and leave to set. - B: GOOD TO STAIN FLOORS Permanganate of potash is an ex- cellent stain for floor, but it cannot be applied above a varnish stain, Wash the floor, and if it is ne- cessary to use soda in the water iit must be thoroughly rinsed off. Dry, then rub with sandpaper to smooth it. Sometimes it is even necessary to plane the floor to ensure an even surface; and all tacks must, of course, be removed.

Renovating the Brass Bed The apearance of the old brass bed can be enrviched by applying two coats of flat cream paint, then a third coat of walnut stain. Silks and Woollens Silks and woollens can be ironed safely on the right side if they are covered with a slightly dampened cheesecloth. Fish Odor : Before handling fish, dampen the hands and then rub them thoroughly with salt. After through landling the fish, wash the hands with soap and there will be no odor.

Pad a stick with old linen or cotton rags and dip this into the stain. Rub this along the floor the way of the grain, then leave to dry for twenty-four hours. Next rub the floor with lin- seed oil and allow it to dry for another twenty-four hours, and af- terwards polish with beeswax and turpentine. . This is an excellent method for staining bedroom floors where rugs are used. CLEAR SKIN Fresh yeast is splendid for clos- ing enlarged pores toning up the skin. Mix about a teaspoonful to a thick paste with milk and water. Cleanse the face with cream and a face tissue. Now close the pores with an astringent, Equal parts of witch hazel and rose water make a good one. Spread the yeast pack all over thickly and leave it on for at least a quarter of an hour, The last step is to sponge the pack off with warm water, followed by a good splash of cold. HOME HINTS Boiled Eggs The dark xing often seen around the yolk of a hard-boiled egg can be prevented if the egg is boiled no longer than fifteen minutes and then placed in cold water.

And lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the mjght of my hand hath gotten me this wealth." When we are weak, and poor, and unknown, afraid of the power and greatness of the world about us, it is quite natur- al to call upon the Lord for help, for strength and deliverance, but when, by his grace, we have come to a place of power and affluence; when a great business has been built up, or a reputation acquired, or skill in one's particular sphere of work has been developed, and one grows ac- customed to working day by day which God has richly bestowed; the danger is that one should finally come to believe that it is by hard work alone, by his own natural gifts, hy his own personality and genius, that he has been enabled to attain the heigits of achievement, and one can so easily then act more or less inde- pendently of God, forget all that God has given him, and continue the rest z : s - ' = = | Cottons Are In Navy bastite dotted in red and white combines effectively with plain navy batiste in this cool siwart dress.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time and place. -- The passage from Deuteronomy falls at the close of the life of Moses, B.C. 14561. The prophecy of Malachi was written, B. C. 897. The passage from Matthew fs a part of the Olivet discourse, given on Tuesday of Passion "Week, April 4, A.D. 30. The First Epistle to the Corinthlang was written by Paul, A.D. 59 and the Second Eplistl a year later. } -- "Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his command- ments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day. There is no more awful word in the Scriptures than just the word forget. It expresses the quintessence of disunion. . "Lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein; 13. And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14. Then thy heart be lifted up." A heart lifted up is a heart filled with pride. "And thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 15. Who led thee through the great and terrible wild- erness, wherein were flery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought val, thy Cod, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may cstablish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day." They were to remember Je- hovah so that Jehovah, in turn, could remember his covenant with them. "But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly." The metaphor of sowing and reaping is almost always applied to contribu tions and alms. "And he that sow- eth bountifully shall reap also boun- tifully." Cf. Luke 6: 38. Literally this adverb means with bles:ings. "Let each man do according as he with the energy and the ability hath purposed in his heart. This cor- responds with the willing mind of 8: 11,12, 19; 9: 2. Cf. Ex. 36: 29; 25: 2. THe word purposeth denotes "de- liberate choice, without any constraint of any kind, free from the impulse of the passions. "Not grudgingly. It is not that the gift is withheld: it is that it comes so reluctantly, as though some heartstrings were snap- ping in the passage. "Or of necess- ity." That is, imposed either by the external condition of things or by the law of duty. "For God loveth a cheer- tul giver." This is the only time that this particular word occurs in the New Testament, and it means joyous, 'or, literally, hilarious. "And God is able to make all grace abound unto you." God {3 able to make every gift of his loving kind- ness to abound to you, that you, be- ing thus enriched, may impart of his bounty to others. "That ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work." At all times, save when he is actually deprived of food and raiment, the Christian ought to regard himself as having enough. Stop To Think Selfishness holds back progress. You should boost your town. Citizens who have boosted their home town along business lines usu- ally have something to show for it. In many towns the organized busi- nes; men have been pusy. They have gone after the business of the home town and surrounding country in a business-like manner, The organized husiness men of live towns are encouraging agriculture, aiding and assisting production and construction and encouraging and helping ambition. They know that what helps the These towns profit by the mistakes of other towhs. There fs no activity so creative and productive of good results as just common-sense boosting. The Road Of Life Our road at times runs through a smiling valley, And sometimes climbs a long weary hill, Then leads us by the brink of sunny waters-- Full flowing rivers or a bubbling rill, and At times the road is rough and steep and stoney, Sometimes the storm clouds gather in the sky, A blinding storm renders the way so lonely While overhead, black ravens wheel and fly. rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them that 1 may be refreshed and cheered by them while 1 need them. I weculd rather have a plain cofhin without a flower, a funeral without a culogy than a life with- out sweetness of Jove and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post- mortem kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Ilowers on the coflin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way. Sa The Starling Menace The steadily increasing number of starlings in Ontario is causing con- siderable alarm in some regions. Hon. Duncan Marshall recently stat- ed that Ontario Agricultural College authorities are now conducting re- search in chemicals which may event. ually be used to cut down their num- bers. While admitting the danger of loosing poison gas on the roosts of the birds, he believed it to be, he} said, about the only satisfactory method of dealing with them. God's Little Things I love the little things of God-- The loamy scent of fresh-turned sod The fleecy white clouds in the sky, The passing of the south winds by, The darting flash of blue bird's wing And all the sights and sounds of spring. I love the days when summer fades, The scarlet tinge in forest glades, The wild grapes, purple on the vine, The crips air heady as old wine The hint of snow in graying sky, To warn us that old winter's night. ---~Hazel Blair. 1 Fu Manchu would find us, © "Wo have been followed here," .

The family "next door" may live a mile away, but the ural dweller knows that they stand ready to lend a helping hand in any erer- gency. They will be there to comfort one in a bereavement, to lend kind- ly aid in the sick room, to lend a willing hand at the sawing bel or the harvest. One may not have many friends or reighbours in the country, but' they' are tried and true. moments of farm life are:those apent in the company of the folks from the next farm or the next cbncbshion. A farmer once explained to v3 his philosophy of life: "I have always lived iu country. I hope to die in the contry. I have a good farm, a (ontented family and good" neighbours. My neighbours are my best frends, I know that when T am in need, they will help me, They have stood by me in the past, and I have stood by them.
