Victorians Liked Luxurious Eating They Made a Cult of Good Foodâ€"Diners Were Critical and Particular Good eating was a cult in the ' Victorian days, writes M. E. Dur- ham in the Manchester Guardian, I remember those big dinners and the days of thought required to pre- pare the menu. Twenty-four guests perhaps and a dinner to be arrang- ed that gave a wide choice of dishes for all. And diners were critical and particular. Certain houses were coted for their cooks. Epicures who thought they had not been well fed would not accept a dinner again at the house. Carving Fine Art In preparing a dinner there was not only the menu to consider and discuss but the serving of tire sep- arate items. Do not forget that the master of the house carved at the head of the table and that carv- ing was a fine art, an expert job. "Certain dishes entailed a special ceremony. The Victorians talked about food and made a cult of it, They ate well, but, judging by the large amount of food left over and oil which the family lunched for days afterwards, I do not think they ate more than a reasonable amount.

Run The Family On 50-50 Basis You’ll Be Happiest That Way â€"Director Institute of Fam- ily Relations Says Husband and Wife Should Share Man- agership Families in which the wife is the manager are happy in 47 per cent, of;the cases; families where the man is dominant are happy in Cl per cent, of the cases; and families where both husband and wife share the’ managership are happy in 87 per cent, of the cases, according to Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of the Los Angeles Institute of Family Re- lations. His conclusion, therefore, is that those families in which the hus- band and wife are on a 50-50 basis in dominating the family life have a much greater chance of happi- ness than those in which the family ig either dominated by. the husband or by the wife. The statistics were based upon a survey of thousands of families that had remained intact for a period of five or more years, and was con- ducted among the normal, educat- ed section of the population. While the 50-50 basis of running the family is the best one, Dr. Pope- noe said that “if there must be only one head to the family, it is obviously safer for the husband to be the head than the wife.” Women Don’t Walk Or Sit.Properly To be perfectly certain the new fashions will be properly displayed by the British public, the Charter- ed Society of Massage and Medical Gymnastics members held a con- gress and discussed such subjects as posture and balance. The con- sensus appeared to be that most women do not know how to walk or sit properly. That six of 10 lack ‘‘muscle-balance” so they ‘‘flop1' most ungracefully. It was remarked that the experts of massage and medical gymnas- tics, the name given to muscular exercises in the treatment of speci- fic complaints, were for the most part middle-aged women with calm eyes, soothing manner and capable- looking hands. LESSON V PERSONAL RIGHTS AND WHERE THEY END (International Temperance Sun- day).â€"Ecclesiastes 2: 1-3, 10, 11; Romans 6: 17-23; 14; 21. GOLDEN TEXT What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid, Romans 6: 15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€"The book of Ecclesiastes was written sometime late â-  in Solomon’s life, perhaps between 985 and 995 B.C.; the epistle of Paul to the Romans was written in A.D. 60. Place.â€"We do not know where Solomon wrote the book of Ec- clesiastes, probably in the city of Jerusalem. The epistle of Paul to the Romans was written from Corinth, that great city of Greece, to the Christians in Rome, the capital of the world in Paul’s day. In the first chapter of this book Solomon has recorded the failure of his search for contentment and abounding joy in the pursuit of wisdom. He now, turns from the pursuit of wisdom to the pursuit of pleasure. 1. I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, be- hold, this also was vanity. Solo- mon here records a monologue, the result of talking with his own heart. The pursuit of this search led him to the same conclusion as the previous search after wisdom, namely, that it was all in vain, 2. I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it? Heart-Searching 8. I searched in my heart. The language implies a most intense study, as well as effort, to solve a difficult problem. How to cheer my flesh with wine. My heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life. Solomon says that, while he ex- pects to give himself to the pleas- ure of wine, yet he is going to do so under the restraining influence of the wisdom which he had pur- sued in the preceding chapter. In other words, he was going to be both wise and foolish. 10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; 1 withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all. my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor. 11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had lab- ored to do. And, behold, all was vanity and .. striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun. Again» Solomon is forced to confess that all this vast activity, these great successive undertak- ings turned out to be emptiness and turned out to be emptiness and vanity, as the pursuit of wisdom and the pursuit of wine had done before. In the verse immediately pre- ceding the section in this chapter- assigned to our lesson, Paul an- nounces the principle that we are HOW YOU CAN ATTRACT MEN Don't let love and romance pass you by. Men like girls with lots of pep and energy. So start taking time-proven Lydia ,E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and note the difference, Pinkham’s Compound, made especially for women from wholesome herbs and roots, helps^ Nature tone up ÿour system and thus calms irritable nerves and gives you more pep to really enjoy life. For over 60 years one woman has told an- other how to go “smiling thru" distress from female functional disorders with Pmkham’a Compound. Let it help YOU! the slaves of that principle to which we yield obedience. 17. But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin. All men by nature, by habit, by act, by the yielding of their wills, are sL.ves.to sin; but, when a man accepts the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the deliverer from sin, he can praise God that this enslavement to sin was in the past, and does not continue into the present. Ye became obedient from the heart. To that form of teaching where- unto ye were delivered. The guid- ing principles learnt from the preaching of the gospel. 18. And being made free from sin, ye became servants of right- eousness, There is no intermed- iate moral condition between the one service and the other. Only as slaves of righteousness can we cease to be slaves of sin. 19. 1 speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh. Nearly all sin ul- timately is achieved by the action of some part of the body. As ser- vants to uncleanness and to in- iquity unto iniquity. The first word means moral defilement of the man within himself and the second word refers to the viola- tion of the divine law wthout a man. Even so now present your members as servants to righteous- ness unto sanctification. Here Paul commends a definite yield- ing of all the members of the Christian’s body to obedience to righteousness, i.e., to the right- eous law of God. 20. For when ÿe were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. When we were un- redeemed, living under the power of sin, we paid no attention to righteousness. 21. What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. The probable meaning here will thus be, D (1 you find any happiness ot profit resulting? 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life 28. For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of tied is ' eternal life in Christ Jesus oui Lord. The word “wages” strictly, denotes pay for military service. Death in its most awful sense is no moie than the reward and the result of sin; and sin is nothing less than a conflict against God.; Rom. 14: 21. It is good not to eat Llesh, nor to drmlc wine, not to do anything whereby lhbrother stumbletb. For a full presentation of this principle see. 1 Cor. 8: 12; 9: 20-23. Paul says, we are to live so that our brother will not judge ill oi us, 0,1- see us do anything which raises a scruple in his own heart. There was never a time when such a lofty ideal for guiding tin- life of a Christian was so needed as today. MUSCULAR RHEUMATIC PAINS-ACHES It takes more than “just a salve” to bring relief.

Descendants Of World’s First Inhabitants New Tribe.of Aborigines, Noted For Beauty, Is Discovered By Australian Explorer Fred Blakeley, noted Australian author and explorer, has returned from the interior with the an- nouncement that he has discov- ered a new tribe of aborigines that represent “the purest des- cendants of the earth’s original in- habitants.” He advocates the establishment of the tribal territory into a re- serve that would be kept free from missionaries, prospectors and mounted police, in order that the tribe may retain its purity and continue to develop in a natural manner. He declared the women are beautiful and the men of magnifi- cent physique. The skins of the tribe are so light that they use charcoal for marking their bodies. “The girls have lithe bodies and tiny feet,” he said, “and if some of them were to walk along the city beaches they would cause a sensation.” Blakeley declared it is probably the last chance the world v/ill ever have to see a native tribe develop normally, without taking on any of th “bad characteristics of mod- ern civilization” if it can just be kept on its own preserve free from outside influences.

Drÿden, 217 Day St., Toronto ons in patients of 'teen age which formerly was regarded as. à disease ot middle age," Dr. C. H. Barr, pre- sident of .the Montreal Dental CJub, â-  stated before the 14th annual fall clinic there last week. Research Funds Needed Dr. Barr thought the best solu- tion could be found by increased endowments to the “research de- partments of our universities." He suggested that general practition- ers “should raise our voices and put increasing pressure on our uni- versities to find the funds (or fur- ther research work so that this plague of tooth decay may be con- trolled.” ‘ When we know the incident age of dental decay has been lowered,” he said, “and that inflammatory conditions for the gum tissue occur at an earlier age than formerly, it seems logical to ask if there is not something more to bo done than ad- vocating the increased dosage of the vitamins, calcium, etc., and the so-called balanced diet.
