Morgan ry Bd AE & Od NUT BREADS ARE There must be some magic in- gredient in nuts' that enables them to change orfinary and familiar food like bread into something un- usual, interesting, and delightful, or: cake or ice cream into a superior and delicious dish. ) When the many varieties of nut breads are so easy to make, and lend themselves to so many: different forms of service, it seems a pity they are not better known, and serv- ed more often, especially by mothers of young families or hostesses who like to entertain, : Sliced thinly and spread generous- ly with fresh or salted butter nut breads are perfect accompaniments to fruit salads and to a surprising- ly large number of desserts. For a bridge party they are excellent. For an afternoon tea, especially if you are expecting several or more callers, nut breads are ideal for the sand- wiches, because they are much less apt to dry out than regular breads.' For a "coffee klatch" or an evening supper. they are absolutely 'perfect. For the young folks coming in from swimming, or tennis, or base- ball, or hiking, or an evening danc- ing party, nut breads have a huge appeal, with the added advantage of being very good for them. They are always a popular contribution to a surprise party menu at a friend's house, Men seem able to consume _ large quantites of nut breads, so you are always safe in serving them.

Let us "consider how it functions, and how it is affected by sun, air, water, soap, cosmetics and massage. "1. It regulates body heat and helps to keep it at the constant temperature of 98.4 degrees. When the temperature rises the skin loses body heat in either of two ways: by perspiration, which in evaporating cools -the body; by the blood-vessels in the skin which en- large and send an increased volume of blood to the surface, there to be cooled and .to subtract heat from the rest of the body. 2. It contains the nerve-endings which control the senses of heat, cold, touch and pain. Warmth in- creases their sensitivity. : That is one of the reasons why the surgeon warms. his hands before ex- amining a patient. 3. It is an important organ, of elimination. Like the kidneys which it relieves, it excretes -- in the form of perspiration -- water, salt, and urea, A periodic sweat flushes out the perspiration = glands: and ensures their healthy functioning. : 4. It transforms the energy of the sun into human" energy. The sun's rays cause a substance in the skin tissues to form Vitamin D, and this is vital for the body's functioning in many different ways. It helps the body to deal with calcium, which is necessary for the proper formation of bones and teeth, and - to prevent rickets in children: it also helps the digestive system to absorb from food the iron that is necessary to form the red cells of the blood. 5. It protects the delicate under- lying structures. For the purpose of. protection the skin must be tough yet pliable. ; Two Layers . The skin has two layers: -the upper, the 'epidermis, which is a horny layer softened by the grease produced by the grease-glands; and the deeper layer which contains grease and perspiration glands, nerve-endings, and so on. The grease is Nature's cold cream; it softens the horny epidermis and makes it pliable as well as strong-- less liable to crack. - The skin is exposed to irritation and leaves it hard and likely to y | crack. L ; Water and soap can both be irritating because they remove grease, They must be used with greater discretion by the dry-skin- ned. The skin is more liable to irrita- tion in winter--when the grease and perspiration glands are less active-- than in summer. The most sensitive areas are the face and those parts that are exposed.

Don't smother the skin with it or you will 'block up the grease and perspiration glands and pro- duce pimples or blackheads, Never use successive layers of grease, powder and rouge. Use rouge alone ofr the rouge area. Use your lipstick for outline rather than for colour. This is from the strictly 'medical point of = view, of course. : I'acial Beauty Facial beauty is the result of good health, the right weight, and the right mental attitude in persons of good, features. : The face must show a free play of emotions without lingering = on the unpleasant emotions; it must be serene but not immobile, and not fixed in, a spasm of fret, anxiety, disgust suspicious or frown. * * * HOUSEHOLD HINTS Ink stains on the fingers will come off easily in soapy water if a little vinegar is rubbed on the stains be- fore®washing.

The sun in small doses is a tonic and a necessity, because it helps to form Vitamin D (in winter, ultra- a useful substitute and an excellent preventive of colds); in large doses it jrritates and ages the skin.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--Lydia appears in the New .Testament record in Paul's second misssionary journey, 49 or 650 A.D.; Priscilla first appears in the same missionary journey, but about two years later. The Epistle. to the the us, and at Rome. '| wneshipped God, hear us." The use of '| AChaia, was the center of Place--Lydia, though of Thyatira, appears in the New Testament Scriptures at Philippi, the great city of Macedonia in Europe. Priscilla is found variously at Corinth, Ephes- "Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course." This is a nautical term for sailing before the wind, and occurs only once again in the New Testament (Acts 21 : 1), "To Samothrace." An island in 'the Egean Sea off the coast of Thrace colonized by a man of Samos. "And the day following to Neapolis."" The seaport for the city of Philippi from which it was about ten miles distant. Paul and his com- panions apparently did not tarry here. v "And from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony," Philippi was originally named Da- tum, but was renamed Philippi by Philip of Macedon after himself. 1 "And we were in this city tarry- ing certain days." Paul arrived in Philippi about twenty years after the foundation of the church at the church at Jerusalem after the Pentecostal effusion. "And on the Sabbath day we went focth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer." The Jews had commonly places of prayer in towns where they were not allowed to have synagogues, where they were few in number. These were enclosures open to the sky, and usually near a viver or on the seashore for the ceremonial washings. "And we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together." It is evi- dent that the women of Philippi oc- cupied a position of considerable freedom and social influence. "And a certain woman named Lydia, a scller of purple." Strictly speaking, she was probabl: a seller of purple cloth, rather than the dey itself. "Of the city of Thyatira.," A wealthy town in the northern part of Lydia of the Roman province Asia on the river Lycus. "One that the Greek imperfect, meaning, in effect, she was in the habit of hear- ing him, would lead us to that the Apostle repeated his visite on several Sabbaths. "Whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul." Paul's preaching could not effect her regeneration. The external call never accomplishes that, unless the internal call to repentance pre- cedes, and unless it accompanies the Word. "And when she was baptized, and her household: she besought us, say- ing, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she con- strained us." The Greek word here translated constrained occurs in only one other place, and that, most significantly, about the journey of the disciples to Emmaus (Luke 24 : 29). "After these things he departed from Athens. and came to Corinth." A distance of about forty miles. Corinth, located in the center of what is now known .as Greece on the famous isthmus of Corinth, and, in the days of the Apostle, Paul, the capital of the Roman province govern- ment and commerce for Greece and the fourth largest city in the Roman Empire. ' "And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race." Pontus was an important province in the northeastern part of Asia Minor, lying along the soulh- ern shore of the Black Sea. "Lately come from Italy, with his wife Pris- cilla, because Claudius had com- manded al] the Jews to depart from Rome." Priscilla, apparenfly, was | not a Jew. and many scholars be- lieve that her name would indicate she was a member of an important, even noble Roman family. Now Aquila, the Jew from Pontus, ever came to know and to fall. in love with this Roman lady is a love story that taxes our imagination. Pos- sibly the two were thrown together by similar religious experiences or hopes, though of this we have no knowledge. "And he came unto them; trade, he abode 'with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tent-makers." It is often said suppose | 3. and because he was of the same | that Paul, together with these new- ly found friends wove the rough goat-hair cloth out of which tents were made, but that is not the word here, and it is most probable that their occupation was that of making up the materia] already woven, cut- -ting-out and stitching , the tents themselves. : "This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fer- vent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus," knowing only the baptism of John," He had been instructed in Messianic prophecy and purpose. In obedience to John, he had been bap- tized unto reperitance and to expect- ation of the coming of the Messiah, but he did not know the meaning of the cross. : him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurate- ly." It would -have been no easy task to take in hand a man of Apol- los's intellectual attainments and in- dependence of character, and lead him on to the views most generally held among the Christians, but Pris- cilla and Aquila undertook this dif- ficult task and succeeded in it. "For he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ." It is not said that Apollos convinced the Jews of the truths he preached, but only that he confuted them, literally, he argued them down; but to confute is not necessarily to confuse. This he did pessibly in. the synagogue, ; Women tend to remember the pleasant experiences of their lives and forget the unpleasant, while men remember the unpleasant and forget the pleasant, according to recent tests.

The. contest. was' started as a neighborhood health project under Dr. Arthur I, Blau, health. officer of the Harlem district. For maintaining the nearest ratio between income and vitamins in the preparation of meals for their fam- ilies, prizes of $15 each were award- ed to Mrs. Mary Gilmer and to Miss Elonoris Jonnahan, Mrs. Gilmer turned in. a very appetizing food schedule which stayed well within the budgetary limits of her hus- hand's salary of $30 a week, while Miss Jonnahan's marketing list in- dicated that she fed a family of four adults and three children on a food allotment of $16 a week from a variable weekly income aver- aging $35. Most illuminating, however, was the report of Mrs, Frances Handy, who won a second prize of $10 for her achievement in providing un- tritious fare to her unemployed husband and three children, rang- ing from two to 10 years of age, on a weekly quota of $8.20. The fam- ily is on "home relief," from which it receives rent and a food grant of $16.40 every two weeks. . Meat, of course, is more expen- sive, so during the week the Handy family had only 25 cents worth of liver and one and one-half pounds of lamb at 30 cents The. children obtained plenty of protein, however, by drinking milk by the glasg and in cream sauces which Mrs. Handy prepared for potatoes, tomatoes and the like. Mus, Handy was asked if the ad- vice supplied by nutrition experts at the home relief bureau district office had brought any changes in her normal menu. - She replied that by rearranging her marketing sched- ules she was able to obtain more milk for her children. Her savings were affected through the purchase of brown eggs instead of white, of fish instead of poultry, and by-pur- chasing beet tops and carrot tops, Agriculture In School convention at Edmonton, Dr. R. C. Wallace, president University of Alberta, said: ""A good deal of thought has been given in past years to the kind of education in agriculture which can best be introduced into the school curriculum. It must be frankly ad- mitted at the outset, he said, that '| relatively little success had attended the efforts of those who are coen- cerned with school education in the teaching of agriculture, "It would take them too far afield to discuss all the underlying -diffi- culties -- lack of trained teachers, discontinuity of school life during the growing season, and the rest.- This, lowever, had been learned that in public and high school it was the science and not the art of voca- tion that. could be taught success fully. "On the other hand, there had heen real success in boys' and girls' club work, and in school fairs in which agricultural projects had play- ed their part, mainly because the activities were extra-curricular and conducted in the realistic atmos- phere of thé farm with the help of trained district agriculturists. In so far as these projects were honestly carried out by the young people themselves, they were the soundest accomplishment which had yet been achieved in the vocational activity in agriculture of school-age boys and girls. The system did not as vet, unfortunately, reach all schoola and all school children in the rural districts."
