Woman's World By Mair M. Morgan Cookies Check up on your cooky Jar and see It it shows slgna of depletion, the fol- lowing recipes will take care of your needs. They are interestingly simple to make. Let U3 pause for a moment and con- aider the varieties we may choose from. Drop cookies belong to stiffer drop batters. Ice-box cookies and rolled cookies lie midway between the soft And stiff doughs. The drop cookies may be of the but- ter or butterless type. In each case the mixture ia just atiS enough to drop by small spoonfuls on to a greas- ed sheet, where they must hold their shape without spreading â€" wherefore It is evident that they are heavier than our usual drop batters. Preparation General rules for cake-making â€" for the choosing of Ingreaients, pre- jtaration for cooking (by getting ready on the table all the ingreilients and ntenaila, preparing tins and cake cool- era, etc) â€" hold in a general way for cookies. Oven temperature may on occasion be higher for small than for large cakes, as they will have baked through more quickly and should not be cook- ed so slowly as to dry theiu out. Be sure the oven bakes evenly , and avoid opening the doOi too often during baking, aj this lowers the oven heat tnd slows up the cooking. And don't overbake cookies â€" many doughs that come from the oven soft, become crisp When cool.

Stuffed Heart A heart stuffed and baked makes an appetising and inexpensive dish to vary meals, which are apt to become monotonous at this time of year. For a large family a beef heart is most suitable. Here is an easy recipe: Well wash the heart, removing gris- tle and membrane, an(' soak it in warm water for two hours. Drain and dry with a cloth. Make a forcemeat by mi.xing M- cup together each of breadcrumbs and shredded suet, a pinch of salt, pepper a tablespoon mi.xed herbs the grated rind of half a lemon and a beaten egg.

When cooked drain away the fat, pour a cup- ful of stock over the heart, then dish up and serve with red currant Jelly. Kitchen Kinks F^-esh lime kept in the cellar ab- sorbs moisture and freshens the cel- lar. A glass washboard is better than one made of zinc and it will last much longer. To make a hearth brush out o( an ot '. broom, soak the old broom in hot water and trim it short. Carbonated water will clean mir- rors quickly and without streaking.

It they are ?tubborn use turpentine and sand. Beware of too much bluing in the water in which you rinse your white goods. It will yellow them in time. Doughs ihat contain baking powder should be handled as little as possible. Walt Cryderman'* Horse The Toronto Globe carries a special despatch from Thamesville on Its front page recently, to the effect that a 20-year-old horse, owned by Walter Cryderman of that town, can pump itself a drink of water, and that re- liable witnesses have seen it perform. To the average individual this reads like a tall story, but to those who know Thamesville and also Walt. Cryderman, there is nothing wonder- ful about it. Thamesville has put it- self on the map on many occasions. During the war it did anything and everytliing that was asked of it, even to entertaining a whole battalion to supper in the skating rink on five hours' notice. Its star performance, however, was in connection with the 1917 Victory Loan. The canvassers started out at one minute after mid- night the morning the campaign op ened and routing citizens out of bed. At one o'clock they had telephoned 1 1 the Toronto morning papers that they had already doubled their allotment. Walt. Cryderman has been village clork, auctioneer, race horse authority and general counsellor to the village for well over a quarter of a century. He loves animals and training them Is a hobby with him. Years ago he had a dog that could smoke a cigar, tell the time, go for the mall and do many other 'vonderful things. The 20-year- old horse that can pump itself a drink ot water used to be well-known on the tracks of Ontario and Michigan, and won many a trotting race against hot competMon. Knowing Walt, and knowing the horse, we are not sur- prised that it pumps itelf a drink of water, but we are rather disappointed that it does not get into the horse trough and bath itself, comb its own hair, and plait its own tall. Walt, is either getting lazy or the old horse too stiff. G. B. S. Trapped Asks Leave to Use Name for Patent Medicine and Gets Reply Detroit. â€" George Bernard Shaw, engaged in battle with an American autograph hunter and, came out loser, it was revealed here. Senneth R. MacDonald, Detroit resi- dent who has been collecting auto- graphs for years, wrote a polite letter requesting an autograph. No reply came. MacDonald became angry. Af- ter a tew days ot thought, he wrote a letter relating that MacDonald had organized a company for the sale of a new vegetable compound, a cure for digestive troubles. After asking Shaw's permission to use his name in marketing the compound, MacDonald said that failure to reply would be taken as assent. The autograph, hunter did not have long to wait. Within a week a hot letter, written in longhand on an oh long white card was received from Shaw. The letter read, Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 26th ult., it you attempt to use my name in the manner proposed I shall cer- tainly take every legal step in my power to restrain you, and to warn the public that I know nothing of your remedy. Faithfully, (Sgd.) G. Bernard Shaw. MacDonald wrote a letter of thanks for the coveted autograph. Hanging a Door Persian Philosopher Says We Carry Too Many Responsibilities Kansas City, Mo.â€" Woaien in Amer- ica are too busy to be beautiful, R. Avron Kartyshai, Persian philosopher, declared lecently. "They allow themselves too little time to develop their personalities," he \ opined. 'They have too much re-' sponsibility to be truly happy, and this affects iheir appearance." I watched him as he set about his work â€" A quiet man, with an ordered air ot skill. He planed the door and made the edges true; The several tools he used to set the hinges firm That they might smoothly turn to welcome in Those things which come to me. and close against What need not enter my secluded room. All day, he planed and trimmed, and cut the wood To take retiring squares of bronze held fast With stable screws; with deft exact- ness drilled The slender inner box that holds the lock. All day, he cut and smoothed and shapedâ€" And at my desk. In fresh humility And peace, 1 meditated on my task; And cut and planed and filed, that other doors Might safely open wide and firmly close ...Nelllie B. Mace. LtMon II (14).â€" April 8.

TIME â€" Summer of A.D 29, the third year of Christ's ministry; also March at the following year (the se- cond incident.) PLACEâ€" The first incident in Ca- pernaum, the second in Persea. PARALLEL PASSAGES- Mark. 9 : 13-60; 10 : 13-16; Luke 9 : 46-50 18 : 1517, "In that hour came the disciples un- to Jesus-" The reference is back to the incident of the temple tax which Christ had paid by working a mir- acle. "Saying, Who then is greatest In the kingdom of heaven? "He did not go to the world's weal- thy, or the ecclstiastically prominent, but to the h'lnibie fisher folk, the pub- licans, and sinners and otherwise common people. From these he select- ed the men whose names would be the first in the kingdom of God in all ages to some." "And he called to him a little child" It must have been the child of one of these men and playing about in its own home and quite aceustomer to be- ing noticed by Jesus. "And set him in the mirst of them-" Releasing the little one, Christ then placed him in the centre of the angry Inquiring men. "And said, Verily I say unto you." Verily is literally amen. It is Christ's common way of calling attention to an utterance of special importance. "And become as little children." The world has always been waiting for the childlike mind and heart to s ave it f rom itself. "Ye shall in no wise inter into tiie kingdom of heaven." The kingdom of heaven very seldom, in the (Jospel means glory. It is the real, innner spiritual, church-state, of which hea- ven, commonly so called, is the cli- max and the final development. "Whosoever therefore shiU humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- ven-" The beginning of the ministry of Christ, as also the beginning of the church of Christ, had something of the charm of childhood. How completely indeed are the children of God described in Scrip- ture as representing the character of childhood fully developed, and with mature strength, steadiness, and con- stancy added to the quick sense of sin, the strong wish for pardon! "But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble." Hinder his progress in the Christian life. There are many ways of doing it, by sneers at religion, by setting a bad example, by suggesting doubts, by living a careless life, as well as by definitely leading the boys and girls to do evil. "It is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged a- bout his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea." The Jews used two kinds of millstones, one, a small one, turned t)y the han ; of women, and the other, a large one such as Christ here mentions, so hea- vy that it must be turned around on the lower millstone by an ass driven in a circle. "How think ye? Or rather What think ye? "If any man have a hun- dred sheep." A large flock, as Is Christ's, but not too largo for the Shepherd to have individual care. "And one of them be gone astray." This one thought â€" lost! runs like a sad und..rtone beneath al! of our Lord's earthly ministry. "Doth he not leave the ninety and nine?" Leave them in the care of un- der shepherds or in the safe fold. "And go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? Rich as the shepherd is with his safe-fold- ed ninety and nine, he must seek the solitary Iamb which has strayed away "And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you" jVnother of Christ's emphases, showing the exceeding de- light in heaven over the re<iemption of a single lost souL "He rejoiceth over it more than ov- er the ninety and nine which have not gone astray." The greater peril one has passed through, the greater the Joy over his ultimate safety. ' "Even so it is not the will of yoar Father who ia in heaven, that one ot these Uttle ones should perish." Christ has projected into history, in- to relig^ion, into tht ministry, the commanding, alluring figure of tha CK>od Shepard. "Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay hii hands on them, and pray " It appears that it was customary for Jewish in- fants to be taken to the synagogue to be blessed by the rabbi. "but Jesus said." Perhaps with • look of Indignation directoward the n.eddlesome disciples, certainly with a glad smile of welcome for the par- ents and their children. "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me." Our Lord is aa earnest in the matter that he puts it both positively and negatively. "For to such belongeth the kingdom of hea- ven" To such â€" to those who are hum- ble, simple and innocent, like HttU children. "And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence." His work wa| done, when he blessed the little chili ren. He may have come to work somi great miracle or perhaps some sub> lime discourse, but in touching tia souls of those little children, and im- planting thero the love of God, he ha4 preached the mightiest of all sermons Diet Which Kills Germs Discovered St. Petersburg, Fla. â€" Discovery a( the Mayo clinic of a diet which th4 human body uses to manufacture It4 own germ-killing chemicals Is reporte4 to the American Chemica!
