'''••'''**'''''''''*'" As Fire Razed Japanese City Lamb The Year Round Now that a more adequate supply o£ fresh lamb i3 within easy reach of every Canadian housewife throughout the entire year, tihe meal-planner will want to acquaint herself with the fciany uses of lamb and the proper culs to ask for. At her meat market she will find lamb cut in this way; the hind quarter is divided Into two legs of lamb, tie back into rib and loin cuts, and the front is either bon- ed and rolled who'e or made into sev- eral cuts â€" shoulder breast, neck and shank. The leg is essentially a roast- ing cut, but it can be boiled or sliced Into steaks and broiled.. The rib and loin cuts are used for either roasts or chops; they are d'ilcate and de- liciously flavored. Lamb chops are most convenient lor the housewife who wishes to serve an easily pre- pared meal. The front may be boned, rolled and roasted, or cut into small sec- tions and made into stews, casser- oles, shoulder roast and soup. Shoul- der chops are very economical cuts. The flank is used for stewing and braising and is especially useful tor makins;; broth. In addition, lamb yields a number of edible parts which, although Inex- pensive, can be cooked into delicious combinations as a change from the regular meat cuts. Lamb brains make an excellent omelet, or they may be scrambled, creamed or fried. Lamb fries make a tasty fried dish and the heart, when braised stewed, or stuf- fed and baked, is a real delicacy. The kidney may be grilled, boiled or stewed. The liver is delicious when fried wit.'.i bacon and jeUied lamb ton!!;ue is ideal for slicing cold. The correct condiments for Iamb are mint sauce with hot roast lamb and cu-rant jelly with c Id roast slices. Caper sauce and spiced fruits add zest to boiled lamb. Oven Dinner An oven dinner Is the answer when you have civics and social, ser- vice and a club duty aU on your mind at one time as well as a family to keep healthy and well fed. Aside from the time-saving., mind- relicvin? assets of an oven dinner. there is a good deal to be said for bn.Uin^ meats and vegetables that or- dinnrlly are cooked some other way. Foods for any given oven meal shou'd be those that may be cookod at the same temperature and for appvo.\imate!y the same length of time. For instance, try this one on your family; Frankfurters a la York- sihire, cabbage baked in milk ami fruit compote. Frankfurters A L^ Yorkshire Five jtrankfisrters, 2 cups flour, 4 ter'spoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt. 2 eggs. 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons moUrd butter. Pour boiling water over frankfur- ters and let stand whi!e making bat- ter. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Coat eggs slightly, add milk and stir into dry ingredients, Add melted butter and stir Just enough to mix. Tu.n into a well greased baking dish. Cut each frank- furter in half crosswise and press Into top of doiiTh. Bake ."50 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.). Serve from baking dish with medium white sauce. Cabbage Baked in Milk There's no better food bargain th\n a head of cabbage. Ifs good for two meals at least and is equally edib'p conked or raw. One and one-halt pounds new cab- bage. 1 teaspoon salt, % teaispoon pepper, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons bltttO'". Shro,; cabbage and put into a well buttered casserole. Sprinkle with salt and popper and add milk. Cover and bako ;!0 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.K When ready to â- erve, dot with butter. Fruit Compote One pound apricots (dried), ^ cup seedless raisins, 1 orange, 1 table- spoon lemon juice, 1 cup water, 1-8 cup sugar. Use white seedless raisins If you can get them. Wash apricota and raisins and put in baking dish. Add grated rind and Juice of orange and lemon Juice. Add sugar and water, cover and bake 30 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.). Serve warm with hard sauce. A long cooking period at a low temperature will solve the problems of the housewife who must be out all afternoon. Meats are seared at a high temperature tor 10 minutes, then the heat is reduced to 275 de- grees F. and the rest of the dinner put In to bake tor three hours or longer at this temperature. Batters and doughs cannot be baked at the low temperature, but meat loaves, cheap cuts of meats and many veg- etables do very well by this method. The fruit compote suggested In the short.time dinner might be cooked for a long time at a low tempera- ture, too. A TASTY DISH Meat and onions, salt and gravy. Macaroni, crumbs and cheese, Butter and a touch of pepper; Every housewife carries these. Blend them â€" plain directions fol- low. Serve them â€" It will be a treat, Quickly made and inexpensive; Watch your guests and family ftat. Here is just the kind of a recipe you need for an emergency dish when guests arrive and catch you napping. A little left-over meat, a package of macaroni and a few other staples from the shelf and refrigera- tor â€" and there you are. Macaroni with Left-Over Meat 1% cups Left-Over Meat 2 cups Gravy ^ Onion, chopped 1 tablespoon Melted Butter 1 package Macaroni 14 teaspoon Salt H teaspoon Pepper 1 cup Grated Cheese Buttered Bread or Cracker Crumbs Parboil the macaroni or 7 minutes in 4 quarts rapidly boiling water to which 1 tablespoon salt has been added. Drain. Mix together the meat, chopped, the gravy, onion butter, salt, pepper and cheese. Combine well with the macaroni and pour into a well-greased baking dish. Cover with the crumbs and bake for 20 minutes. Spaghetti may be substituted for the macaroni. FAMILY FAVORITE Doughnuts have often been refer- red to as the way to a man's heart. Certain it is that few can resist the crusty sugared surface of a real doughnut. One important thing to remember in making doughnuts is to mix them as soft as the dough can be easily handled. Then, when rolling and cutting, take care not to work In an excess of flour. That is what causes doughnuts to be dry and tough. If you own a deep fat thermo- meter, it should register 370 deg. F. before you drop in a doughnut. If you have no thermometer, cut a cube of fresh bread 1 inch square and test It. It should turn golden brown In 60 seconds. Any kind of fat or oil may be used for deep fat frying. Lard Is a little greasy, but a combination of 2-3 lard and 1-3 suet is very acceptable. Vege- table oils also may be used, as they absorb practically no odor. Doughnuts should be dropped into the fat, turned as soon as they rise to the surface, and then turned fre- quently until they are a golden brown. When re;roving them from the hot tat, if they are passed rapidly throuijh a kettle of boiling water. A f;i;nei-al view of the desolation caused by fire tliat raged for six hours in the town of Shibata, Japan. The raging flames rendered 6,000 persons homeless and caused damage of mors than $1,000,000. SUNDAY _choolesson s^ LESSON Vil.â€" NOV. 17 THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY Ezra 1:1.6; Psalm 126; 1-0 GOLDEN TEXT â€" The Lord hath done great things for us, Whereof we are glad. Psalm 126;3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME â€" The letter which Is found in the twenty-ninth chapter of Jere- miah was written in the early part of tihe reign of king Zedekiah (597- 586 B.C.) The flrst chapter of the book of Ezra refers to events which took place in the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, B.C. 53S. The date of Psalm 126 cannot be accurately determined but, of course, it was some time af- ter the return from Babylon, i.e., pro- bably between 530 B.C. and 500 B.C. PLACE. â€" The letter written by Jerermiah was sent from the city of Jerusalem, and It was probably in that city that Psalm 126 was written. The first chapter of Ezra takes us to the great city of Babylon, and to the the excess grease will be removed and they will be very tender. Store In a stone jar with a close-fitting cover and they will keep nicely. DOUGHNUTS 3 eggs 1 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoons cream 3 teaspoons baking powder Method: Beat the eggs well, add the butter melted and the cream. Sift the baking powder with one cup flour and add to the mixture. Then add sufficient flour to make a very soft dough. Keep It just as soft as possible. Roll out, cut into strips or with a doughnut cutter, and fry in deep fat until well browned. Dust with Icing sugar.

Drain and sprinkle with Icing sugar. counry round abou in which the Jew- ish exiles were living. Now. At first sight a strange word with which to open a book. It implies the resumption or continuance, not the commencement, of the narrative. "In the flrst year of Cyrus king of Persia." He Is called king of Persia, not because he was born a Persian prince, but because the Persian king- dom was the most important of his conquests. "That the word of Jeho- vah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished." The reference here, of course. Is to Jeremiah's prophecy of the seventy years' captivity, which we have Just been considering. "Je- hovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia'.' To stir up the spirit is to move to activity. God not only teaches: he quickens. "So that he made a proclamation throughout all hia kingdom, and put it also in writ- ing, saying". This Is added to record the fact, which, to the Jews, was of so much importance that the edict, so far from being a Jewish invention, had been written at the command of Cyrus, and was accessible among of- ficial papers. "Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, .\11 the Kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given â- UP." It Is remarkable that tlie king. who was a believer in many gods, and who, on the monuments, speaks on himself as a worshipper of Nebo and M>?rodach, should speak in such exalted terms of the God of the Jews. "And he hath charged me to build him a house In Jerusalem, which Is In Judah". This divine mission Is de- scribed in Isa. 44:24-28; 45:1-13. "W'hosoever there Is ajnong you of all his people, his God be with him." This is a familiar form of blessing comparable to our "good-by." whch is an abbrevated form of God be with you. "And let him go up to Jerusa- lem, which Is In Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he Is -God), which is In Jerusalem." tVe should carefully observe that the edict permitting the Jews to return to Jerusalem did not compel them to return. There was no forced expul- sion of these people from Babylon. "And whosoever Is left. In any place where he sojourueth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-of- fering for the house of God which Is in Jerusalem." Dr. Ryle has para- phrased the opening of this verse as follows: In any place where survivors of the Jewish captivity are to be found sojourning, there let the natives of the place, the non-lsraelitish nei- ghbors, render them all assistance. 'Then rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God has stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem." It should be noticed fhat the social leaders are mentioned first, the heads of the great families, an indication that the movement did not originate among the humbler class. "And all they that there were round about them strengthened their hands." The Jews who sought to re- turn were like a convalescent essay- ing to walk and needing assistance. "With vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered." Cyrus himself un- dertook to promote honestly and ef- fectively that which he had allDwed by his remarkable decree, and brought out of the treasure rooms of his pagan temples, vessels which Ne- buchadnezzar, in 59S and in 586, had taken from the temple (2 KIn«s 24: 13; 25:14, 1,'!. Story of Coats Is Colorful Leather and Suede Ones Popular in The West The story of coats for the snappy temperatures of autumn is inter- estingly plotted and full of color, says the Christian Science Monitor. Sports models are gayer, it seems, than ever before. .A-bout half of them are made of patterned tweeds and the others of fleece, Irish friezes, wool hopsacking*^ weaves; Scotch monotone wcolens in off-shades of high tones, camel's hair, and hairy wools â€" which represent one of the very newest trends â€" in plaids, checks, herringbones, crossbars, and solid surfaces. In the country they tone with autumn woods and in town remind one that where pavements are not. rich colors flame up out of the ground. Black and nsvy coats, too, are worn, as foils for bright frocks. Leather and suede coats are high fashion on the west coait and are beginning to be felt as a trend in the east, where they are obtainable in smart shops, although they have not been conspicuously promoted. The eyes of most youngsters are fixed at this moment on the big games. These set a standard for gaiety, wartnth and a casual silhou- ette. The swagger lends Itself ad- mirably to the picture, and it is, of course, warmest when it is as long as the frock. Throe-quarter and seven-eighih leng-ths are also ap- proved, however, and knee-kngth is the newest idea. A clever swagger model by Helen Cookman has a deep patch pocket set obliquely in the very front, which will act not only as a receptacle but also as a muff. Raglan sleeves prevail and are usually seamed down the should- er from the collar line to the wrist, which most frequently la b«U-eha^ ed. . The belted coat is equally favorM* and retains the essential noa- ehal» ance by the character af itt material, its color, and the dstalla< The belt assumes importance and i* brig-ht, trickily designed, and widew The sleeves are usually man-tail<»» ed, but some models pull thetn inta the armholes and expand them ia the lower half. The corsage partlor is often softly draped either hf means of the cut itself or by pleata. A particularly attractive sesd> molded model, shown by the Ham;^ ton Coat (30., is cut like a cassoek, and buttoned all the way down tbs front from neck to hem, under a fly. To accompany it a dresa is offere4; which has that identical silhouette- and closing. It wears a small martia collar, which turns over the collar- less neck of the coat, Slany sports coats are interlined with wool, and some of them haT# extra linings that slip in and out along zipper fasteninfrs. When th» coat is part of a three-piece en- semble, the lining â€" or "back" as tt is called this seasan â€" is likely t* match the skirt and jacket undeii» neath, or the gayer of them, If thef are contrasted. Bulky collars, preferably of fue, are comforting to the ears and kln<l» !y to the color tones of the nose oa a brisk day in the bleachers. Suek collars, whether of self-material of pelts, are usually adjustable and, U desired, will subside into flat planet on the shoulders. When standing they ripole around the face in be- coming lines. Lynx is one of the favorite fun, as are cross fox, polar wolf, timbetf wolf, nutria and raccoon.
