" moved when done. fore putting Into jars, lives, By Mair M. Morgan +. APES el reste Rib Bobo Bulk In the Olet , The: housewife in seéarch of appetiz- ing new vegetable dishes to tempt the family palate will find a wealth of possibilities in kale, kohlrabi,- turnips, 'parsnips, beets, winter carrots, cab: bage and onions. : These good cool weather vegetables possess certain dietary qualities which are most desirable and should not be overlooked, Kale very acceptably takes the place of spinach, Turnips and ..parsnips are valuable because they supply bulk, always a necessity In the diet and some carbohydrates. These vegetables all supply some min: eral matter and vitamins. More Salt Needed When cooking these vefetables, one " should remember that their structure Is very different from that of the suc- culent summer vegetables, Boiling water or intense oven heat is neces- sary to soften the woody fibers of tur: pins, parsnips and the like: They also must be quickly cooked iu a generous amount of. water. These precautions prevent them from becoming soggy .and unappetizing both in taste and appearance, Add salt to root and tuber vegetables when they are about half cooked. Remember, too, that these than the dellcate summer varieties. Kohl-rabl {s delicious served in a mock Hollandaise sauce. Turnips 'in piquant sauce are so very good that one would mistrust their humble origin. Kale scalloped with bacon is nour- ishing and appetizing. 2s Carrot timbales served with white - sauce make an excellent main dish for luncheon or supper, Baked Beets are superior to ordin- .-ary boiled: beets. Baked' onlons are unusual and very good. ", 7 Kale With Bacon Two cups cooked and chopped Kale, ~~ 2 tablespoons butter, 2 'egg yolks, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-3 teaspoon each pep- per and paprika, few gratings nutmeg, -1 tablespoon minced onion, 4 slices bacon, 2 tablespoons grated cheese, 2 tablespoons fine dried bread crumbs. Cut bacon in dice and cook until crisp. Drain and keep hdt. Combine kale with butter, egg yolks, salt, pep- per, paprika and nutmeg. Put half in a buttered baking dish. Cover with minced onion and bacon. Cover with remaining kale. Sprinkle top with grated cheese and bread crumbs. Bake ina hot oven until brown and serve from baking dish. Make Use of Apples Do you serve apple sauce with pork, goose, grilled sausages or, for the children, on bread and butter with sugar. It's also good for fillings for - cakes and tarts. . Peel, core, and slice apples and al- low 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated |- sugar for every 4 cups fruit. Flavor with cloves or. lemon rind, to be re- Cook for about half an hour, stirring constantly, when they should - be "mushy." Store in Jars or a few weeks, Will not keep indefinitely, Apple Snow. Cook apples, with sugar to taste, to a pulp and pass through a sieve. Whip the white of an egg and fold into the whipped ap- ple. Pile in a dish, sprinkle chopped pistachio nuts on top, 7 Apple Ginger, Melt § cups sugar in 2 cups water, and when a clear syrup add 8 cups eating apples peeled, cored and chopped. Add the juice of two lemons, the grated rind of four and 1 oz, green ginger which has been boiled in a cup of water with sugar until softer and finely scraped, Boil the preserve for two hours and test be- wi nter Foods An eminent physician recently made an extensive survey of the food his patients had been eating all their with the idea of discovering whether or not there might he any connection, between the! diet and the various aches and pains from which they were now suffering, It was found that most of the diets had been lacking in protective foods --mlilk, fruifs, fresh vegetables, When these foods were given as treatment, MUTT AND JEFF-- serve Cl 7 "Aetariaminiive, J LOOK , MUTT!

Modern methods of canning and preserving make this possible and add immeasurably to the variety ob- tainable, ' One of the most valuable of all win- ter foods is soup, Take tomato soup, for instance, No, garden product i§ richer in health ingredients than the tomato, Vegetable soup is another food which should appear frequently on every table. Ordinarily when vege- tables are cooked in the usual way, many of the valuable mineral salts are boiled out and thrown away in the boiling water, But in.the making of vegetable soup the rich, healthful juices are retained, Enlarging Your Rooms Do all you can to give your house an appearance of vast size. For in- stance, if there is an unnecessary door between the dining room and the liv- ing room, why not have it taken out? Small rooms should not be over- crowded with furniture. If you need lots of seating space for guests re- member that a studio couch or a divan will seat several people and take up much less room than three or four large chairs, Hed * Small-windows should have their curtains pushed back toward the sideg to _glve an illusion of greater width and short windows look much longer it the overdrapes touch the floor in- stead of ending at' the window sill. Tasty Desserts ; "Here are two unusual desserts that will induce the man of the house to compliment the cook, and the guests 'to demand the recipes. Chocolate Crested Custard Pie Pie crust, 3 eggs, slightly beaten, % teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, 3 cups milk, scalded, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 square unsweetened chocolate, melted, 2 tablespoons hot. water, 2 tablespoons sugar. Line a deep 9-inch pie plate with pastry, rolled to 1-2-inch thick- ness. Combine eggs, salt, and sugar. Add milk, stirring constantly. Then add vanilla, Pour Into ple shell. Bake in hot oven (400 reg. F.) 15 minutes, then decrease heat to moderate (350 deg. F.) and bake 30 minutes longer, or until knife inserted comes out clean, Combine chocolate, water and*sugar, and blend. Pour over ple filling, place in slow oven (300 deg. F.) and bake 7 to 10 minutes longer, or until choco- late is 'set.- Cool. . Collar and Tie Offers Contrast At the very moment when every- thing in fashion had been fixed up so that girls will be girls this year, a boy- ward trend appears. The particular news of this statement is that this snap-of-the-finger gesture toward femininity occurs of all things, even in evening fashions where girlishness has been flourishing to the boiling point. h By way of stating the outlet of this boyish manifestation, it is sufficient to say that it is a collar-and-tie-impulse. The recipe has for a basis the shirt fashion of daytime styles, -conceding all that elegance has to offer in the way or rich fabrics and capitalizing on the formality of the floor length skirt, and the newness of the suit for evening, wear. So, with all these in- gredients blended, the result is a very young, saucy costume suitable for restaurant or theatre wear, described specifically with long slim skirt and kneelength tailored coat of dark vel vet, with shirt ot a rich texture ilke metallized silk, or thin velvet. The turn down boyish collar is the inevit- able touch, sometimes with a tie, and we have even seen long sleeves that are finished with jeweled cuff links, Notwithstanding the comparative isolation of this boyish tendency in the midst of so much completely op- posite style, .the idea becomes new just for the very reason that the re- turn of the womanly figure and lavish fabrics are so incongruous with it. if Sunday Sehoo! | "Lesson | - -te Lesson XI, --December 10.

"And when the governor had beck- oned unto him to speak, Paul answer- ed." 'Friedrich draws attention to the frequent mention of beckoning, or making signs, as characteristic of Luke's writings; compare Luke [1 22, 62; 65: 7; Acts 13: 16; 26; 1; 24: 10, ete! "Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this aution, T cheerfully make my do- fence." There is the greatest diffar- ence between the calm, truthful, aud self-respecting introduction of Paul's speech, and the fulsome compliments of Tertullus, "Seeing that thou canst take knowl- edge. that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem." 'Only twelve days, and five of these were used to arrest him and keep him in Caesarea, The gimple statement of the facts refutes the charge.' "And nejther in the temple did they find. me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor inthe syna- gogues, nor in the city." The courts of the temple would be possible places for riotous disputes; so would the meetings of the synagogues on the Sabbath and on weekdays; so would the streets and squares of Jerusalem; but Paul had been found everywhere peaceable, : "Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me." Roman law is proverbial for its fair- ness and its insistence on proof; but in the two most notable instances in history in which it had a chance to prove its character for justice it failed disgracefully, namely, in the trial of Christ and the various trials of Paul. "But this I confess unto thee.' Only one charge' could fairly be brought against Paul, Heresy accord- ing to the view of the Jewish religious leaders. "That 'after the Way which they call a sect," "A sect is a schism, something cutoff from the parent church. The Way was. the name for Christianity adopted most 'commonly by the Christians of that time. "So serve I the God of our fathers," Paul claimed the same spiritual heritage as other Jews, no less a son of Abra- ham than the high priest himself. "Believing "all things which are ac- cording to the law, and which are written in the prophets." Paul's writings are full of quotations from the Pentateuch," 'he" prophets, the psalms, and the other sacred books of the Hebrews, : "Having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for." This hope was that there would be a resur- rection, and it was held by-the Jewish nation as a whole, of which some rep- resentatives were there nresent, The doctrine of the Sadducees that there was no resurrection was held by a comparatively small section. "That there shall be" a resurrection both of the just and the unjust." Not merely the just shall live eternally, but also the wicked shall die eternally; and Felix felt in his heart that he was himself. wicked. : . A CONSCIENCE VOID OF or- FENCE, Acts 24: 16-21. / "Herein I alsu exercise myself." Do 1 also myself take exercise, take pains, labor, strive. Old world in Homer to work as raw materials, to adorn by art, then to drill. "To have a conscience voic of offence toward God and men always." To be like God was Paul's supreme ambition. Many a man has made it his chief ambition to flee from the wrath to come. Not"s¢"Faul. le shows no fear of hell, and apparently took no interest in. talking about it. "Now after some years." He had been absent from Jerusalem for four or five years-----no chance to organize an insurrection from Europe or Ephe- sus! "I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings." He had come to Jerusalem with the splendid -gift to the. poverty-stricken Jews from the churches of Achaia and Mace- donia, ; "Amidst which." kngaged in the making of the offerings last referred to. "They found me purified_in the temple," Having complied with the rules for formal purification as laid down in the Jewish ritual, . "But there were certain Jews from Asia." Bigoted Jews from Ephesus. We have already seen with -what bitterness these enemies of Paul followed him from place to place, . "Who ought to have been here be- fore thee, and to make accusation, if they had. aught against me," It is eee ee EE] J the way of all such men to make their charges in secret. "Or else let these men themselves." The Sa lggan members of the San- hedrin who had come to Caesarea with ths high priest Ananias, "Say what 'wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council." That is, the San- hedrin. That was Paul's only formal | trial precedent to this before Felix, and, being before the chief assemblv of the Jews, it shoutd have probed the matter to the centre, "Except it be for this one voice." Paul will himself adduce the charge ¢ heresy, if they will not. "That I cried standing among then," Pauls statement, it will be remembered, had been made or the purpose of setting the Pharisees "of the Council against the Sadducees, thus dividing his ene: mies against themselves, "Touching the resurrection of the dead | am called in question before you this dey," No charge except that of sedi- tion would count, of those brought against Paul, and it was evident that that would not stand. Paul had no need of a lawyer, R FELIX"S PROCRASTINATION, Acts. 24: 22-26: 32. "But Felix, having more exact knowledge concern- ing the Way." His wife Drusilla, a Jewish princess, would have told him of the differenes between the sects of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the hostility of both to the harm- less Christians, 'men of the Way. He saw clearly througt the whole mat- ter. 'Deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down," 'Down' from Jerusalem, on its hills, to the low-lying Caesarea on the coastal plain. "I will determine your matter," Like Pilate in the case of Christ, he was putting off as long as possible the manly and just de- cision it was his duty to make. "And he gave order to the cen- turion," The captain of a company of 'one hundred soldiers. should be kept in charge." Should remain a prisoner. "And should have indulgence." Evidently, like all the Roman officials who had «tv do with Paul, he was attracted to him, "And not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him." Peter and John, Barnabas and Mark, Lazarus, Nico- demus, Joseph of Arimathaea, James the -Lord's brother.--these are some of Paul's friends whe may be sup: 'posed to have visited him during the two years that followed. And always there was Luke, the faithful physi- cian, close at-hand, : Every Housewife Entitled to This ; ~~ Code of Conduct Beaumont, - Tex.--Hearing nothing about a 40-hour week for housewives, a home-maker of Nederland, Tex., has proposed a code of her own, Received by B. B. Johnson, County judge, in a letter which suggested its consideration by President Roosevelt and modestly signed "Mrs, L. T. P.," the code follows: "Every housewife shall be taken out to dinner at least once a week. "Husband or some other member of the family shall dry all the supper dishes. i * ' "Every housewife is entitled to a minimum. of two movles weekly. "Husband shall help children with at least half of home work. "Every housewife is entitled to 10 per cent. of the family pay for person- al expenditures on self or clothes, cos- meties, etc. : "Every housewife (except where sickness or other emergency exists) is entitled to sleep late at least two mornings weekly."
