STRAWBERRIES - Most things that are good for us to eat gives us all a chance to grumble but in the luscious strawberry we have something good for us and we can utter words of praise at the same time, : High in Vitamin C Mothers will be especially interest- ed to know that the C vitamin rates about as high in berries as it does In orangas. However, vitamins A and B are growing and building sub- stances, are lower in berries than in the citrus friut, The strawberry third the B value of the orange, There is good reason to believe that berries actually help the body to make use of other elements in the diet, Thus they are not only valuable in themselves, but increase the value of accompanying foods in daily use. If you.want to use strawberries as a substitute for oranges, remember their deficiences and be sure that the berries are perfectly ripe and do not deluge them with sugar. Re- member too that oranges have been found to be efficient in reducing body acidity while strawberries" have out been proved on this point, Air Kills Vitamins Canned strawberries are so widely used that they also have come under the experimenter's 'eye, Scientific re- search nas discovered that commer- cially canned and home canned ber- VaaUCstsh ETAC1 SHRLUETAOI I ries put up by the hot pack and pres- sure mehad lose prac<cally na vita- min C content because this vitanun is destroyed primarily by air. Heat has tens the destruction when air is pre- sent, but in the absence of air has little effect. This xplains why berries canned by processes which exclude air retain vitamin C. \ The woman who lives in a small town or in a community easily ac- cessible to berry markets will find it profitable to do her own canning. The hot water bath, steam pressure cooker and heat controlled oven all represent satisfactory equipment, for home canning. But if a high price must be paid for fresh berries, plus labor, fuel and equipment, it may be found more economical to invest in the commercially canned product when the fruit is wanted in the winter. Canned Strawherries The particular feature of berries canned according to this recipe is that they will not rise fo the top o. the jar after they are canned. Wash, hull and pick over the ripe berries. Allow one quart box of ber- ries for'each pint jar. Add 1 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons water to each quart of berries. Bring them slowly to the boiling point. Simmer, but do not boil for ten minutes, remove from fire, cover and let stand for several hours or over night. Then pour into sterilized jars, partly seal the jars, and sterilize in hot water bath for 12 minutes. Seal, cool and store in a dark place. If strawber- ries or other delicate berries are stored in the pantry or other places where the daylight or the sunlight reaches them, they will lose their col- or and become straw-colored. ¢ Strawberry Jam Pick over, wash drain and hull the strawberries, Mash a few in the bot- tom of a preserving kettle using a wooden potato masher and so continue until ail the fruit is used. Heat slowly to boiling point and add gradually an equal quantity of heated sugar. (Heat sugar in oven). Cook slowly 45 minutes, or until thick. Bottle and seal. Gooseberries and Stiawberries Three pounds guoseberries, two pounds strawberries. Piek over the gooseberries and re- move stems and tails. Wash, then hull the strawberries. Put berries in a saucepan and crush them with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Heat slowly 'vo the boiling point, then boil five minutes. Measure, add an equal measure of sugar and boil rapidly for 20 minutes or until the mixture Jells from the edge of the spoon, Pour at once into small sterilized jars and seal with melted paraffin. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb; 2 pounds of strawberries, 2 pounds of granulated sugar. i Wash and skin rhubarb. © Wash and hull berries. Put the rhubarb through the food chopper catching the juice that drips from the crank case. Combine rhubarb juice and su- gar. Add berries and let stand until sugar is dissolved. Add berries and let stand until the sugar is dissilved Put over a low fire and bring to the Canada's Prime Minister, seen at right, was given the Honorary degree of doctor of Laws of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y,, last week-end, he is shown here chatting with' Pelmer C. Rick- etts, President of the Institute. boiling point. Stir frequently to pre- vent sticking and to crush the fruit. Cook until a spoonful tried on a cold plate jellies. Turn into sterilized jel- ly glasses and cover with paraffin when cold. Strawberry Fluff Use one egg white, 1 cup hulled strawberries, 1 cup powdered sugar. Cut strawberries in quarters and put all ingredients into a mixing bowl Beat with a rotary beater for about 20 minutes. The mixture will ex- pand and become exceedingly light an fluffy. Pile into sherbert cups or par- fait glasses and chill thoroughly. Serve with cake or cookies or with a garnish of whipped cream. Old-Fashioned Shortcake . One quart strawberries, three quar- ters cup granulated sugar, one and one half cups flour, three teaspoons of baking powder, one half teaspoons salt, 4 tablespoons butter or some o- ther shortening and butter mixed, one half cup milk or water (about.) Wash and hull berries and cut in quarters. Sprinkle with sugar and let stand in a warm place. while mix- ing and baking shortcake. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Work in shortening with pastry blen- der or two knives. With a knife cut in liquid and make soft dough. Div- ide dough in halves and roll one half on a floured moulding board to fit baking pan. Oil and flour pan and put in dough. Spread generously with oftened butter and cover with remain- ing dough which has been rolled to fit lower section. Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes. When ready to serve split the sections ap- art. Spread lower section with butter and cover with thick layers of juice and berries. Cover with top section and add more berries. This may be topped with a slightly sweetened whipped cream and garnished with perfect whole berries. Serve with plain cream. Individual Cakes Instead of making one large short- cake the dough may be cut in rounds to make individual cakes. These are split and served like the large one. If you like to serve your dessert from the kitchen the individual shorteakes are nice, but the one large cake makes a very handsome dish for the hostess to seize at the table or for the maid to pass to each one to help himself. Graham crackers or bread and but- ter make excellent foundations for shortcakes for children. Simply place the prepared fruit between layers of graham crackers or bread and butter and serve with plain cream or top milk. . Strawberry [ce Cream One quart box strawberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons icing sugar, 2 cups whipping cream, 1-2 cup single cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt. Wash stem and crush the berries with granulated sugar Heat to boiling point Remove from fire add salt and cool. Run through seive. Whip cream add vanilla and icing sugar and place in refrigerator to keep cool. Told whipping cream into fruit mixture and pour into tray of refrigerator. Strawberry Mousse One quart box strawberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon gelatine, 2 table- spoons cold water, 4 tablespoons hot water, 2 cups cream-~vhipped. Wash berries, remove hulls,r add sugar and let stand one hour, then run through sieve. Soak gelatine in cold water, then dissolve in hot water Add to strained strawberries, fold in cream and place in pans of electric refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours. Serves eight. Cheese Cakes Line about one dozen shallow pally tins with rounds of good rough puff paste; a little preserve of some kind may be put in: cases. Fill the cases about' three parts full with the fol- lowing :--Cream one half cup of su- gar and one half cup of butter, add 2 eggs well beaten, about three table- spoons milk, a small teaspoon baking powder and any flavouring desired. Twist a little strip of paste on the top and bake quickly. Time about 15 minutes. There are many varieties of cheese cakes, but rarely the kind from which the name originated--that is, the curd got during the process of cheesemaking. he Pressed Beef To cook and press brisket of beef. Wash and dry a piece of brisket weighing between four and six pound rub into it a dessertspoon mixed spice and rather less of salt and leave overnight. Put the prepared beef in- to a saucepan of cold water with 2 bay leaves, a blade of mace a chopped carrot and a turnip. ~ Add a few peppeteorns and allspice and simmer gently until the bones will come casily away. Press the meat between two heavy weights and leave until cold, Brush over with mel- ted glaze. Sunday School Lesson LESSON Ill.--July 15. God Cares for Elijah.--!1 Kings 17:24; 19:1--8. Golden" Text.--"Your heavenly Fa- ther knoweth that ye have need of all these things.""--Matt, 6:32, The Lesson In Its Setting TIME.--Elijah appears to Ahab, B.C. 912. The contest on Mt. Carmel and Elijah's flight, B,C. 909. PLACE.--The brook Cherith, Zare- phath. Zezreel. The desert south of Beer-Sheba. g PARALLEL PASSAGE.--There is none, "And Elijah the Tishbite. He fis called 'the Tishbite' perhaps because he was born in the Galilee town of Tishbeh, Who was of the sojourners of Gilead. The implication is that Elijah bad moved from Galilee across the lake into Gilead. "Said unto Ahab. He appears mys- teriously on the scene, as he {s to disappear as suddenly and mysteri- ously at the end of his career. He was as swift as a stroke of light. ning. "As Jehovah, the God of Israel liveth, These words are Elijah's life message. "Before whom 1 sand, Eli- Jah felt himself to be always before God's throne, as one of his officers, ready to go on any errand. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. Not Ili jah's word, but God's word through Elijah. Dew is mentioned first, as the most important; vegetation can live 8o long as it Is fed by the dew, "Aud the word of Jehovah came unto him. We are not told what was the effect of Elijah's prophecy, or whether any effort was made to de- tain the bold speaker. He disappeared from the court as suddenly as he had appeared. 'Saying. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward. He was to go back to his own forestland of Gilead, where he would be safe from pursuit and capture. And hide thyself by the brook Cherith, The name of this brook means 'cut' or 'gorge. An ideal place of concealment. That Is before the Jordan, That is, east of the Jordan, before one enters Pales. tine proper. "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook. Herp is a prom: ise of water, but not of an enduring supply, for the brook later dried up (verse 7). And I hav> commanded the ravens lo feed thee there, 'The translation ravens Is nol unsuitable; ravens were well-known inhabitants of ravines, and (hey were regarded as fed by God." "So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah. Elijah was one of the most forceful and original men that ever lived, but he merged his personality in glad obedience to God. For he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that fis before the Jordan. Elijah might have known a dozen places where lie would have preferred to live, but he knew that God knew best. "And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh In the evening. Relief came to this prophet with the most unex- pected, and with seemingly impos- sible, conveyance, "And he drank of the brook. The brook said to Iilijah, God always takes care of me. [ never worry. | never wonder where the water is coming from. "And it came to pass after a. while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain fn the land. The brook failed Llijah, but God had not failed him. "And Ahdb told - Jezebel all that Elijah had done, The weak king had seen the great miracle on top of Mt. Carmel, and had evidently been moved by it, so that he obeyed Elijah's com- mands without objection. 'And withal how he had slain all the prophets wilh the sword. Perhaps Ahab expects ed Jezebel to be as amazed as he had been at the power of God exhibited through the prophet; but if so, he was disappointed. "Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah. She might have bilden the prophet come to her, but she probably doubted that he would ccme. "Saying so let the gods do to me, and more also, This vague imprecation is a standing fermula frequently found in the Old Teslament. Here {t means: 'May my gods do to me what! vou by to-morrow about this time, Per. haps Jezebel actually (otended to kill Elijah; but if so, she wouid not hive warned him but would have seut assassins, "And when he saw that. The pro- phet seems to have reckoned on Ahab's complaisance extending to Jezebel, or he had left the queen out of account altogether, Now he saw that his fight against idolatry was still far from won. 'He arose, and went for his life. He was worn out by his stupendous effort on Mt, Carmel! and lost the courage he customarily had. "And came to Beer-sheba., A famous place in the extreme south of Pales- tine. "And left his serant there. Some have conjectured that this ser- vant was left in Beersheba because he was not strong enough for tho wilderness journey, "But he himself went a day's journ- ey into the wilderness. The hardy prophet would easily be ah'e to walk and run twenty miles a day, or nore, and keep it up, "And came and sat down under a juniper-tree, (a species of broom, which is the finest and most striking shrub ot the Arabian desert) 'And he requested for himse.t that he might die. He does not commit sui- cide; nay! how could he? Was he not the servants of Gud"? A-¢ said, "it is enough. How often we also think that our lives are long enough. "Now, O Jehovah, take away my life, It is natures capable of great ex- altation, that can, like Elijah, climb the heights of Carmel, which are most in danger of creeping under the jun- iper-tree when the reaction sets In, "And he lay down and slept under, a Jjuniper-tree. Sleep was the best medicine for his perturbed soul as, well for his weary bowy. "And, be- hold, an angel touched him. Angels are spiritual beings a little higher than maa "And said unto han, Avise and eat. [ating is most helpful, not only when physical powers are ex- hausted, but when the spirit flags, "And he looked, and, behold. Sur- prise is expressed at the sight of a meal provided out of the unseen,' there in the solitary desert. There was at his head. Where the savor of it would reach him at once. A cake baked on the coais. Myer nixed vith water, and baked on stones made red hot by the burning of wood over them, And a cruse of water, The water, in that dry land without rivers or springs, would be as much a mir- acle as the cake. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again, The medicine of the sleep and food had not vet completed their restorative work, "And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time. God will send his messengers of cheer and strength as often as his weary children need them. And touched him, Arise and eat, because (he journey is too great for Lhee, The distance from Beersheba to Horeb (Sinai) is about two hundred miles. "And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. He would not have required forty days to travel there, if the intention of God had been nothing more than to cause: him to reach the mountain. But in, the strength of the food provided by the angel Elijah was vot only to per. form the journey to Horeb, but to wander in the desert for forty days as, Moses had formerly wandered with all Israel for forty years, that he might know tha! the Lord was still, the same God who had nourished and | sustained his whole nation in the desert."
