There is a zestful tartne s to this jam and its color suggests ihe coolness of the berry on the bush. Gooseberry jam will undoubtedly be popular as a breakfast sweet, and it is a .re- freshing change with biscuits at tea time or late evening buffet. The recipe given here has been carefully tested and makes perfect jam of the same delicate shade of the ripe gooseberry. GOQSEBERRY: JAM, 4 cups (2 lbs.) crushed fruit, : 14 'cup water, 7% cups (3% Ibs.) sugar. 14 cup bottled fruit pectin, To prepare fruit, crush thorough- ly or grind about 2 pounds fully ripe fruit; measure into large kettle; add 145 cup water; stir until mixture boils. Simmer, covered 15 minutes. Add sugar, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire, Stir constantly before and while boiling. -Boil. hard 1 minute, Retnove from fire and stir in pectin. Skim, pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 11 six-ounce jars. , ' VEGETABLE RECIPES Here are some new and different combinations for vegetables: Escalloped Carrots Prepare six large carrots, and one' onion. Place layers of sliced carrot -in a baking dish, sprinkling shreds of finely sliced onfon between the layers. - Season with salt and pep- per, add enough milk to cover, cov- er with a lid and 'bake till tender. Then remove lid, drain off any su- perfluous moisture, put a few dabs of bulter on top of the carrots and put back in the oven to brown, Carrot and Cabbage Salad. Shred one small head cabbage, 2 medium-sized carrots, mince 1 med- ium-sized onion, Combine 3 table- spoons boiled salad dressing with 2.3 cup cream. Pour over cabbage and carrots, mix thorough!y. Garn- ish with slices of tomatoes or sweot pickle and parsley. Serve on lettuce leaves, Curried Radishes. Fry in butter a cup of fiery red radishes cut in 14-inch slices, Add two or three slices of a small onion, salt and pepper. When radishes are soft, stir in 14 tablespoon curry pow- der and a tablespoon butter. Stir in a cup of milk and cook to a cream. Pour over well cooked rice. : This is a very. good and novel way to serve with roast or fried chicken. Carrots 'and Potatoes. Boil equal quantities of carrots and potatoes in the same pan. Drain, and mash with butter and milk. This makes a pleasing change from plain mashed potatoes, CANNING TIME.TABLE, It is a great help in efinning to have a (time-table telling just how lohg to process the material. Many failures in canning are the result of deficlent processing. The Ideal way is to use a pressure cooker, but without this results are certain {r the proper processing is given. "The firms manufacturing glass jars usu- ally issue a bulletin giving the pro- per time for each product, Another very Important thing is the use of new rubber rings. In the old days, when fruit was cooked in the open keftle and then put into a heated jar, and sealed, most housekeepers "sav. ed the rings, when the jars were opened and used them again. The rings were not subjected to the In- L Ba a Ra oa eg +e tense neat of processing, and it is quite possible that many of them were safe to use, though this prac. tice was taking an added risk. Now, however, with our cold-pack system, we think it very unwise to use a rubber ring more than once. Too much depends on jt. It is insurance against failure to buy the best qual. ity of rings, and tp use new ones each season, HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Moths will not attack woollen gar- ments if they are kept ,when not in use, in a bag made of unbleached calico, which has been wrung out of turpentine and dung in the open to dry. Save all rind of oranges and le- mons, Allow them to dry thorough- ly, then keep them in a close-cover- ed glass container, When seasoning fs needed for a pudding or a cus- tard, grate a little of the rind.

Remove all substantial buttons from worn-out "overalls by cutting the cloth around them in . two-inch squares. When other overalls have squares, When other overal's have their buttons pulled out, sew this two-inch piece of material over the hole aand they are patched and but- toned, Banana slices that have been dip- ped in pineapple or grapefruit juice for from fifteen to thirty seconds and then removed, keep thoir natural color for several hours.

Floors in the middle-class houses are mostly scrubbed or- polished wood or tile. "The polished wood glows by reason of the vigor with which a polishing pad worn over one shoe Is rhythmically worked all over the floor. Walls are color-washed; pictures are few. Furniture of carved oak or Spanish mahogany, without upholst- ery, suits this simple setting, but often a couple of wicker chairs, witha cushions, are included, The simplest window drapings of fluted net are the alternative to no curtains at all--the windows, which open on to ironheat of the day and at night. Just behind these deeply set windows the Spanish housewife sits and' sews for hours. Very little fuss {is made about meals in the average Spanish home.

"Now as they went on their way, he. entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha re- ceived him into her house." The event de:ccribed in Luke 10: 33-42, at all. Butter Is a luxury, "Bunua- los""--long tubes of pastry which have been cooked in boiling fat and tossed in soft sugar--are sometimes served when guests are present, but they are rarely made at home. A pastry cook Dbrings them before breakfast with the quaintly shaped bread. A mid-day meal of bread, cheese, possibly an omelette and the inevit- able red wine takes little time to prepare. On hot days a siesta is the order of the afternoon, and at about four o'clock coffee without milk is served again, accompanied by sweet biscuits, The evening meal requires the big- gest effort of the day on the part of the cook, and is laid any time be- tween eight and eleven o'clock. Sou fs followed by fish or an omeletfe, in the making of which the Spanish woman 'is an expert. Next comes a dish of potatoes and beans cooked together and a separate dish of meat, A flourish may be given to the re- past by a delicious confection made of quinces -- a sort of quince cheese. It i3 not the housewife's duty to plan a different' "sweets" course every day, for her family hardly ever bothers about puddings--a fact which saves her much trouble, : 'She looks, and is, placid. The Car- mens of Spain are not to be found In 'middle-class homes. 39 occurred during what we are led to believe was the first visit ol Jesus to this home, though it may be that ho knew--these beloved followers ol his . for some time previous to this particular visit, "And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's fect, and heard his word." In the person ot Martha, we have one not only given to hospitaiity, but ong who also, al- ong with Mary, had rejoiced to sit at the Lord's feet, and hear his word, "But Martha was cumbered ahout much serving." One has sometimes geen women whose faces are liter- ally drawn round with anxiety, with a permanent twist, distracted _ In mind and in love, "And she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me." In such a mood as this, Martha did the Inevitable. She lost her temper. "But, the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things." For most of uz such a moment of tension, following so dis- courteous a remark, would be ex- ceedingly embarrassing, and most of us would find it difficult to say any- thing that might help. - "But one thing {s needful: for Mary -hath chosen. the good part, which shall not he taken away from her." By the one thing needful, he certainly meant ultimately the feed- ing on the bread of life by faith; which faith com y hearing, and Word of Christ, which N as now receiving into her sof] and which (John G6: 54), sl never be taken away, but re- sult in everlasting life. "So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already." It was necessary lo his work that he should know of Lazarus's death; it was not necessary that he' should know how long he had been buried, nor where he had been buried (v. 34), "Now Bethany was ntgh unto Jer- usalem, about fifteen furlongs oft." A furlong, or stadium, was about 600 feet, or one-eighth of a Roman mile. "And many of the Jews had come to Martha aand Mary, to console them concerning their brother." It was a part of the Jewish ceremonial of grief, which was almost accurate- ly defined, that there should be a large gathering of friends and ac. quaintances, not less than ten, to teondole with those that mourned for ther dead (I. Chron. 7: 22; Job 2: 11). "Martha, , therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him." Martha was among the women about Christ as Peter was among the twelve disciples, al- ways taking the initiative, both in action and in conversation. Martha first heard of the Lovd's approach because, ag head of the house, she would, naturally, be the lirst to whom his coming would be report. ed, and, also, because she apparent. ly was engaged with household du- ties, and news could reach her more easily than jt would her secluded gister. "But Mary still sat in the house." 'Iie deeper, tenderer na. ture remains in the house, overcome with grief, and more occupted with the numerous well-meaning triends who were endeavoring to conghle her. "Martha therefore aid nunty Lord, if thou hadst been here, brother had not died." proach, however gentle, pression of deep regret. "And even now [| know that, what- soever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee." This is a deeper confidence than that which recognizes tho eflicacy of the prayers of any good man. Martha wistfully 0X- presses faith in Jesus not only as her friend, but as the Son of God "Jesus saith unto her, hy broth- er shall rise again." Christ's first consolation, and the Christian's chfet consolation at such an hour. "Martha saith unto him, "1 know that he shall rise again in the resur- rection at the lat day." She does not deny the tremendous doctrine of resurrection at the Last Day. She replies that she knows it and ac- cepts it. But, like many another mourner, she fails to derive much immediate consplation free ft. "Jesus sald unto her, | am the res- urrection, and the life." Herve, as so often in his conver.stions, the Lord turns the attention of one away from himself or herself to the per- son of the Saviour himself. Christ is that which men need. "He that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth gn me shall never die." Though he die is an admission that many Christians would die physical- ly, i.e., thelr bodies would undergo the experience of death, but death would not be final, He would live again, Shall never die does not re- fer to physical death, but to eternal death, to a life of eternal separation from God. "She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: 1 have believed that thou art the Christ the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world." Such a clear confes- sfon. as this, uttered. under circum- Jesus, my Not a re- but an ex. Ee stances of the greatest depression, at once places the speaker in the very "front rank of the disciples of Jesus. "And when she had sald nis, she wont away, and called Mary her sis. ter secretly." Secretly, presumably, because she wished Mary to see Jeaus privately, without the crowd 'of mourning friends belng present. However, this did not succeed, [Or they followed Mary out of the house (v. 81). "Saying, the Teacher . is here." Probably the name by which tho Lord was known in he (nner. most circle of his own (Matt, 23: 8).

It was, = dh however, decided by the National Convention to relegate motor mat ters to the provincial administra- tions. Repeated attempts were made subsequently to find a basis for =a general motor ordinance, and in 1019 the Royal Automobile Club succeed- ed in arranging a conference of the administrators . and the executive committees to discuss the matter. The conference decided to appoint a special committee to explore the question and a unified ordinance was actually drafted, It was, how- ever, found impracticable to get the four legislative bodies to agree, and the attempt was abandoned. With the rapid development of motoring the urgency of one cone trol in South Africa has become move evident. The necessity of uni- ; ! fied action in certain directions, said Sir Alfred Hennessy, chairman of the Royal Automobile Club, to a report of the Star, has been ree- ognized. "We now have a Board to deal with from a national aspect. most important step in direction, and the way for the next step by Mr. action in appointing a committee to go into the of third party insurance. "It is manifestly impracticable to have compulsory insurance in one 2) province and not in the others. The 3 problem must be tackled nation- ally." Sir Alfred proceeded to point out amazing anomalies arising from the trafiic regulations in the four prov- inces, and in that regard said: "We are anxious to attract over- seas people to visit South Africa, hut if they motor from Cape Town to Johannesburg or Durban they find that every dorp has its 'own traflic regulations. Uniform regula- tions are a necessity, and they can : only be introduced by the central i Government.
