Morgan Be - STRING BEANS String 'beans are. now plentiful and they should be properly cooked to retain full flavour and colour and thus appeal to the appetite and give complete food value, String beans of either green or wax varieties are a delight to the palate when well cooked. The method recommended by the Fruit Branch, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture is as follows: : Wash, remove strings and ends,and either leave whole or cut in one inch lengths. Allow a very small amount of salted water and cook beans in a closely: covered saucepan for thirty minutes. Place over a low fire at first until some juice is extracted, then raise the temperature. All liquid should be absorbed when beans are cooked. The use of different sauces makes for variety. 7) Beans with Tomato Sauce 8 cups beans 2 tablespoons butter nly 1 cup tomato juice 2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper Cook beans in a little water so that practically all liquid is absorb- ed when they are tender. Then add butter, and when melted and well mixed through the beans, sprinkle the flour over, and stir over the fire. Then 'slowly add tomato juice, stir- ring well. Cook five minutes. - Bean Pickle Prepare and cook beans as dir- ected above.

BREAKFAST SETS THE PACE The food you give your family at breakfast will set the pace for. the whole day--for we must never lose sight of the fact-thdt a long time has elapsed since the evéning meal the night before. Appetites will awaken at the sight of an icy cold half melon, filled to overflowing with golden, crisp corn flakes. This is de- 'licious eating and a dish to give the family quick energy .for 'work or play. / ; Toasties Melon Cup Chill small ripe cantaloupe. Cut in halves, allowing one half to each serving.

The sugar content .of sweet pickl- es has much fecod value. The lactic acid contained in dill pickles is recogn'zed by dietitians as an aid to digestion.

Pickles are recommended by the eminent physicians of England, Hol- land and Germany, who recommend them as a remedy for dizziness and heartburn. French physicians for many years have recommended pickles as a pre- ventative of freckles and for clear- ing and heightening the complexion through their corrective action on digestion and the cleansing of the blood. ; : The further south you go, the more popular sour pickles are, due to the natural craving for the cooling and healthful action of the gacid. The calory value of sour spiced pickles is greater than that of ap- ples, oranges, peaches, pears and | three times the fuel value of bean soup, nearly double the value of spinach, asparagus, onions and other vegetables, also codfish and black bass.

It's first aid to hospitality when some friend hap- pens in unexpectedly, providing that extra company touch for a pot-luck meal. And when the man of the family telephones at the last minute that he's bringing someone home to dinner, it saves the terrors of being unprepared. In stocking the emergency shelf choose only the best tanned meats and vegetables, fruits and condi- ments. They require less time dress- ing up. os Plan definitely, too, just how each article will be used in the emerg- ency. You may have a miniature grocery store at your elbow, but without a variety that will prove adequate for a well-balanced and ap- petizing meal, the emergency shelf won't be of the help it should be. The shelf should contain the mak- ings of a full meal--soup, meat, veg- tables, salad and' dessert. Though all need not be used for the same meal. Keep a can of nut meats ready to use, a tin box of marshmallows, a tin of extra fine salad wafets, a bottle of olives, a jar of mayonnaise and a'package of long-keeping va- riety of cheese. Home-made catsup or chilli sauce added to the mayonnaise"will make a Russian dressing to serve with head lettuce for a dinner od that nearly everybody likes. Or nuts and olives finely chopped may be com- bined with cheese and made into tiny balls served on lettuce leaves. The salad wafers lightly buttered and toasted add much to any salad and are particularly acceptable if the portions are small. : Salmon, tuna fish, crab meat, shrimp, boned chicken, ham or corn- ed beef will solve the luncheon salad, or may be made into delicious dishes. 5 Canned soups, of course, are in- valuable. Some need only to be re- heated while others must be diluted with milk or water. Macaroons keep almost indefinitely in tightly closed cans. Many varie- ties of canned puddings and quickly mixed packages of dessert that are delicious and easy to use and quickly prepared. Last, but not least, replace each item from the shelf as you use it-- | hot.

But does he like it? I wondered that as I walked round an exhibition of table-setting at which men arch- itects and designers were responsible for one or two tables each. Two well-known architects flatly refused from the first to allow any cloth or mats to be used. The were Wells Coates and Frederick Gibberd, the latter only 27, and therefore very modern-in his ideas. His choice was a set of crdam yel- low china with a pale grey flower and a dull red circle. It stands on a walnut tabe edged with sycamore; the latter wood, like the tweed-cov- ered chairs, harmonising with the color of the china, Lio Wells Coates chose "curves" Round plates and oval dishes with concentric circles of green and silver stand on a walnut table with round- ed edges and curved legs. One of the most interesting tables was arranged by Oliver Hill, who was the architect of five sections of tion at Burlington House. . Its motif was diagonal lines, its color green and silver. The corners of the table were cut diagonally to correspond with the position of the trepiece was a set of four oblong glass dishes, filled with the heads of white flowers and' ingeniously placed side to side, As on other 'masculine tables, an ashtray was placed at each corner. Hostesses, please note! Most men, apparently, like low centrepieces and tall candles./Mr. J. Emberton, architect of the new Olympia, is an exception. On a wal- nut table, again without mats, he sets jasmine china with orange and gold bands, two very tall candles, and a large centrepiece of china flowers, standing on mirror glass. COSTUMES FOR AUTUMN SHOW MUCH BLACK Although there are incidental colors which attract the attention, the big story for autumn is black, in simple little school girl dresses which are smart for daytime wear, in chic little suits of lightweight woollen which are of the type every woman could wear, in soft afternoon frocks which contrast dull and lustrous sides of a novelty pin point jac- 39 the British Art in Industry Exhibi- oblong glass ashicays, while the cen- quard. Black suits in velvet are brightened by flat collars of gilet or ermine and flowing fullness at front is an interesting quality of black afternoon dresses. Breaking into the clever parade of smart blacks are tweeds which tend to such off shades as bois de rose, a light prune, grayed to the fur trimming, a wisteria shade in novelty woollen and black and white mixtures which give various tones of gray. In. trimming and combinations there are brighter tonds, velveteen: blouses and scarfs with tweed suits, velvet trimmings on black frocks in such bright hues as ruby red and sapphire. Deep gold bracelets are an- other bright trimming which offsets the somberness of a black frock, sometimes with the response of a golden brooch.

GOLDEN TEXT.-- In all things | gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak. Acts 20:35. oA THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME and PLACE. -- The actual dates for .the various events in the life of the Apostle Paul have proved a subject of wide disagreement. Har- nack places the conversion of Paul in 30 A.D., and his death in 64 A.D. Ramsay makes the two dates, respec- 'tively, 32 A.D. and 67 A.D. Probably his death occurred 66 or 67 A.D. Paul wag born possibly three or four years after the Lord Jesus was born. The places of his labor are too numerous to enumerate here. "I coveted no mint 'silver, or gold or apparel." Thus was Paul [ree from all suspicion or false accusa- tion concerning money matters in all the collections which were taken for the poor, and in the matter of his own support, "Ye yourselves know that these hands ministerd unto necessities, and to them that were with me." Cf. 1 Cor. 4:12. As he held his hands up, they saw a tongue ot truth in every seam that marked them. "In all things I gave you an ex- ample, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he him. gelf said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." This is the only saying of Jesus recorded in the New Tastament not to be found in the Gospels. "Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice." To rejoice in the Lord does not mean that a man is to be insensible to sorrow and dis- tress, to suffering or to sin, either in his own life or in the lives about him; but it does mean that these dark realities will not be allowed to master him, nor to blind him from the radiance which streams from the face of his living Lord. "Let your forbearance be known unto all men." The word here trans- lated forbearance means that dispo. sition which is opposed to a spirit of contention and self-seeking. "The Lord is at hand," The lesson for all of us is not that the Lord is coming, which is true, but because the Lord is nigh, his presence is with us, "In nothing be anxious." The word here translated anxious comes from a word meaning to divide, to sepa- rate, 'to pull apart. An anxious heart {s one 'which is divided and torn in its division. "But in everything by prayer and supplication." The first word refers to the general offering up of the wishes and desires to God; the second {mplies special petition for the supply of wants, "With thanksgiving." No greater barrier to progress in prayer can be set up than ingratitude to God. 'Let your reuests be made known unto God." This is the only abiding, permanent cure for anxiety. Tell it to the Lord in prayer. "And the peace of God, which pass. oth all understanding." The inner. most tranquillity caused by contact with him, blended by his Spirit into ours, the peace which transcends all mind, for no reasoning can explain its nature and its consciousness. "Shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." The word here translated guard' means tp pro- tect by a military guard, i.e. to post gentries at the gates to protect a city from invasion. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, what. coever things are of good report; it there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things." The last phrase, if there be any mendation of others, but it describes moral approbation, whether of kings or of men, or even of God. Such high thinking cannot fail to result in nobility of character and. worthy deeds. "The things which ye both learned and recelved and heard and saw in me, these things do." Here, as often, Paul commends his own life and prac- tice to his converts as an. example which they are to follow, and, when every minister and teacher can sup- port his words and writings by an acknowledged sincerity of life, the power of his teaching is tremendous- ly multiplied. "And the God of peace shall be with you." Wherever you gb, whatever' you do, down deep below the surface. "But I rejoice in the lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me." Literally, you shot forth (as a branch) thought in my behalf. "Wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked oppor- tunity." Lightfoot translates it "in which ye did indeed interest your- gelves. Paul's purpose .in writing the Philippians really was to thank them for their kindness to him, but many other things were so much on his heart that he postpones this mater jal matter to the end of the Epistle. "Not that TI speak in respect of want: for 1 have learned, in whatso- ever state I am, therein to be con- tent". "I know how to be abased." In classical Greek this verb is used of the. failing of a river in drought. "And I know also how to abound: in every- thing and in all - things have I learn- ed the secret of both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want." He is able to be calm and confident in the midst of the most disturbing circumstances, "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me." This {s only one of the many phrases found in Paul's letters which reveal him as one mastered by Christ. A scientist discovers that the slow- est thinkers live longest. That the kind of proposition that cannot be proved on a busy highway.

Some mysterious force pulls your head back every time you try to raise it from the pillow. Dizzily you go through your ab- lutions, and at the breakfast table you are oblivious of the shining morning faces, the newspapers, the letters, or the friendly little wag of the dog's tail. : The bacon and eggs, the coffee, the toast, what are they to 'you? Black spots fly across your eyes, cold shivers play scales on your spine, and sweat pours into your palms, The mirror will tell you why it was wrong to eat mayonnaise at midnight, Those eyeballs, tinged with yellow, that sallow cheek, that tongue that looks as if it had been out all night in the frost--all these indicate that the liver is literally fed up with you and your silly ways of fatty feed- ing. The sooner you realize that you must swear repentance the better, Begin by taking a large dose of salts, and follow this up by pints and pints of pure cold water at re- gular intervals. Reff.e every form of food, even milk, and go away to some spot where you can be like the great Garbo, alone. By evening you will feel less like a man under sentence of death and more affable towards a pork chop. But touch neither crumb nor crust until next nforning, when you will realize the good that has been done by salts, starvation and solitude.

TREAT WITH RESPECT But now we are beginning to look at Victorian . furniture through brighter eyes. Much of it still has no claim to beauty. Most of it is t fussy as to line and decoration make any appeal to our modern taste, but on the other hand thege old relics are fast approaching t stage of becoming antiques, and as such must be treated 'with respect. Besides, in picces which were made, say, 90 years ago, one sometimes comes across a table or a chair which is reminiscent of an earlier period and expressive of more re- strained craftsmanship. Obviously this kind of thing is well worth preserving, -but such specimens are the exception rather than the rule. The average Victorian furniture is- lumbering stuff, im- mense sideboards and wardrobes which have been housed for years at the inconvenience of lesser picces. As they stand, their practical use is non-existent, unless in lofty rooms. But some enterprising designers "find craftsimen have real- ized that in part these cumbrous pieces might find a home, if they were adapted to modern require- ments, especially as both the and workmanship of these Victorian relics are good. That is to say, some massive and unwieldly piece may be cut and adapted as a smaller article "of furniture, which might be used for the present-day house or flat. One enormous wardrobe, too large and was recently removed from a lum- ber room where it had languished for years. It was made of fine old mahogany, had been cared for, and it was built in three divisions; at each side a cupboard for - hanging space, and in the centre a chest of drawers with a hat cupboard above. One day the owner was struck by the beauty of the drawers in the centre, slightly bow-fronted with a thread of inlay. She wanted a chest just that size. So she consulted a cabinet maker, and as a result the entire centre part of the wardrobe was removed intact, and by using the wood from the end panels for the sides a most attractive little chest was produced. A lamp standard is another mod- ern product which may be produced from an ornate sideboard or ward- robe with "pillared" posts, and a large Victorian table might be con- verted into a sideboard and a small- or dining-table, When in the north recently I saw an antiquated piano whose keys had been removed and the interior fitted as a writing desk, as, incidentally, so many spinets are treated nowadays if they are not employed as dressing tables. SURFACE UGLINESS A woman who has an eye for pos- sibilities in the most unlikely quar- ters discovered an old chair the other day which at first sight seem- ed expressive of early Victorianism at its worst. Its 'ugliness, however, 'was chiefly on the surface, as it was covered in a shricking damask. The arms and legs were of walnut, in shape rather reminiscent of Queen Anne period, and in excellent condi- tion. She bought it literally for an old song, re-covered it in tapestry, and the chair is now. one of her most delightful 'possessions. Naturally there are many Vie- torian picces which with the best will in the world one could not transform into anything which would be appealing to our modern taste, but less than ever can we af- ford to be scathing about the things the: Victorians loved. Already we are Edwardian in dress. There are soma dealers who believe that there will shortly be a vogue for Victorian furniturd, She Knew Her Bible A certain husband, a Bible class member, occasionally helps his wife, also a Bible class member, by wip- ing the dishes. One day he refused. saying that it was "not a man's work." The wife got the Bible. and read to him 2 Kings 21:18, "And I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish)' The husband .returned to his job. The wife says, "It pays to attend the Bible class."--The Pres. byterian Monthly (Canada). What madness is it for a man starve himself to enrich his heir, in so turn a friend into an enemy!
