TEA CAKES Fvervone likes cakes and tea hreads enviched with fruit, but the cconomi- cal hot sewife often hesitates to make {he-e delicacies because they dry out quickly unless catenin soon after bak- ine. Even the next day the fruits are likely to he dried ihto bulletlike Jumps. Thus the taste ot the whole cake is ruined. Lately 1 have made some exciting discoveries about this. Certain kng- lish bakers, 1 was told, have long used glycerine in various kinds of cakes-- especially their luscious [fruit Joaves --to keep them moist and palatable to the last bite. © I tried it myself in some of my [a- vorite fruit breml and cake recipes. with.real success. Not only did the Leakes remain fresh many days longer but the fruit was brighter, juicier, had a more appetizing appearance. All 1 did was rub the fruit with gly- cerine, allowing it to stand for half m hour; then I made the cake as usual. Just a quarter teaspoonful of glycerine was enough for a standard small family veeipe. The wholesome liquid acts like magic in keeping the fresh things fresh. I. 1 Know you will want to (ry this yourself, so here is a fruit tea bread recipe to experiment on. I'm sure you will he as pleased as 1 was.

Use to Cross Writes the Niagara Falls Review: "The number of divorces granted in Canada shows an increase, according to the latest figures; but, before fall- into fits of horror, it should be re- membered that, prior to establish- ment of the provincial courts, and lower costs, many Canadians went across the line and got "legal" separations elsewhere. Many of those divorces were not legal and, if divorces must be given, it is' better, particularly for any children - con- cerned, that their status may be as- sured. 39 chicken, and it is not insipid as boil-_ Fenders for Queen One of the five 25-ton fenders placed in the "Queen Mary's" berth at Southampton, England. pictured as it was lowered into place by a huge floating crane as dock was being prepared for her arrival. Sleeving Habits Under Serutiny When a Sleeper Wakes; His Behavior Is Observed and Reported to Psychologists. The American Physiological" 'So- ciety learned something about sleep. Sleeping normally, "watched" by half a deen automatic recording in- struments, is a complicated business. In the Chicago laboratory the bed- springs are connected with a system of weights and pulleys. As the sleeper rolls ovér or stretenes or throws an arm this way and that the mechanism causes a stylus to write. The result is a graph -which is as casy to read as straight type -- at least to the Chicago physiologists. There are systematic ways of dis- turbing a sleeper and noting what happens. Deep in the stilly night, say at 2 a.m., the experimenter him- self is aroused by an alarm clock-- a signal to begin his work. He waits until 2.15 for a pronounced motion by the sleeper in another room--an- pounced by the flashing of a light-- and then gradually turns on a roud- speaker. The sleeper pushes a buz- zer to say that he is awake. There- upon the experimenter makes a note of the loudness of the souna vnat did the awakening and the time that elapsed between the motion of the sleeper and the response. Time of Soundest Sleep It turns out from all this that you do your soundeft sleeping in the first one or twe hours after going to bed, which is pretty well known by this time," and you are easily awakened soon after falling asleep, but not so easily, ten or fifteen minutes later. In fact, it seems preferable to correlate deptn of sleep with changes of position rather than with the time of night-- the old practice. = The time actually spent in moving is small--about half a minute out of an hour. Research conducted in the Univer- sity of Chicago in past years has shown that a cup of coffee taken be- fore going to bed will bring anout sleep with fewer changes of position than usual. This ought to be good news to those who think that even a demi-tasse will keep them awake. Un the other hand, several cups are bound to result in restlessness. Al- cohol produces sound sleep in early hours, but the end is more movement later. Lastly, there is the curious fact that the temperature declines about 1 degree during the first hours of sleep and rises 1 degree in the last hours. Svidently the body begins to work after a while, and work al- ways means the expenditure of energy and hence the generation 'of heat. But there is no definite con- nection between temperature changes and restlessness. In some sieepers temperature varies with the season, and mobility changes corresponding- ly. - : After a long period of wakeful- ness (sixty. hours) the body tries to Change your position catch up, as it were. Tne sypeping period is extended from eight or nine hours to eleven or thirteen. . Aore- over, there is less stirring. The next step in the investigation is to discover the effect jof food and thus to scitle the question of just what happens when we eat a Welsh rarebit after the theatre.

GOD, THE LOVING -FATHER.-- . Luke 15: $ ; GOLDEN TEXT.--Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Loyd pitieth them that fear 'him. Psalm 103:13. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME.--January, A.D. 30. PLACE.--Peraea. : "And he said, a 'certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me," According to Jewish law (Deut. 21:17) each son would '| receive the same proportion of pra. perty and inheritance from the father, except the eldest son, who would receive an inheritance double that of any of his brothers; The vounger son here, then, asks for one- third of his father's estate. The re- quest probably was not unusual, and vet it shows two things: the younger son chafed at the restraints that the home placed upon him, and he want- ed to live a life which the environ- ment of the home did not convenient- ly permit; moreover, he needed money with which to accomplish the selfish purposes that were in his heart. © "And he divided unto them his living." In the father's consent- ing to -the guilty wish of his son, a very solemn thought' is: expressed, that of the sinner's abandonment to the desires of his own heart (Rom. 1:24, 26, 28), the ceasing, on the part of the divine Spirit, to strive against the inclinations. of a spoiled heart, whieh can only be cured by the bitter. experiences of sin. "And for many days after, the vounger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living." The word riotous here means abandoned, dissolute, profligate. "And when he had spent all, there arcse a mighty famine in that coun- try." There is a divine teleology (that character of nature which re- in the xeals design or final cause) / comjuction, whether appearing in in- dividual experience or in the life of nations, and the parable only recog- nizes this truth in exhibiting a cor- respondence between moral state and outward circumstances. "And he be- The inevitable destitution to which sin drags its victims, : "And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of. that coun- try." The word implies that the citizen of the country, to whom he applied, was unwilling at first to re- ceive him, and only after persistent pressing entreaties, tcok him into his service, "And he sent him into his fields to feed swine." This young man, a Jew, has now lost his inde- pendence and freedom, which, at first, he started out to fully enjoy; he has been driven to tasks which normally would have been revolting to him. "And he would fain have filled his did eat." These were the pods of the carob tree. "And no man gave unto him." The swine were more precious in the citizen's cyes than the swineherd. "But when ne came to himself." This expression is like that in Acts 12:11 in speaking of Peter awaken- ing from his strange' experience in being delivered from prison by an angel. The statement itself would indigate that this man in his sin was outside of himself, or beside himself. Sin robs us of our normal powers of common sense, of balanced juagment. "He said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and J perish here with hunger!" And thus God uses phys- ical suffering and shame to bring those who would live apart trom him to their senses again, © "LT will arise and go _to my father, and will say unto' him, Father, I thy sight." Here is the turning-point in. this young man's life. He is de- termined to get out of the foreign belly with the husks that the swine have sinned 'against: heaven, and in|. country, out of his 'shame. his wasted daily life, "IL am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of.thy hir- ed servants." A spirit of sucn hu- mility as this testifies to-the reality of his sense of sin and true repent- ance. » ' "And he arose and came to his out father." Many a resolution dies be- in the spare room. 3, wr fore it is put ito éxecution. Here the resolution, ofite 'taken, is im- mediately carried out. "But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him." Undoubtedly,: the Lord would have us to believe that the father continually Kad been looking for his son. It was all he could do. He could not bring him home by com- pulsion, but he loved him, and, every day, he watched, with never tiring "And was moved with com- It is the only eye. passion, and ran." place in Holy Scripture where haste. is attributed to God. "And fell on his neck, and kissed him." Literal- ly, kissed him again and again. "And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no -more worthy to be called thy son." When we were still dead in trespasses and sin, God loved us. He loved us before ever we loved Him: (1 John 4:10,19). "But the father said to his ser- vants, Bring forth quickly the best robe." Many believe that this phrase should read, more accurately, the first robe, meaning not the first in quality, but the robe which the son had worn in fofnier, days. "And put it on him; and put a ring on his hand,"." A ring is_symbolic of honor and dignity (Gen. 41:42; Esther 3: 10; 8:2; James 2:2). "And shoes on his feet." The shoes were marks of a free man, for slaves went bare- foot. . "And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry." It is often said that there is no sacrifice in this parable of the restoration of the prodigal son. But that great Biblical expositor, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, writes, "If a son, whether through rebellion or legiti- mately, left home for a season, it was_the habit to offer a sacrifice upon the threshold on his return. The purpose of the. sacrifice was two- fold, first an atonement for possible sin, and secondly, a feast to be spread when the threshold was crossed." "For this my. son was dead." Death is often spoken of in the New Testament as the state of a sinner even while he is living out his life on earth (Eph. 2:1; Rom. 6:13, ete.). "And is alive again. and is found. And they began to be merry." Man, viewed as 'the ob- ject of the Saviour's solicitude, is lost as a straying sheep is lost, through thoughtlessness; as a piece of money is lost to use, when its owner cannot find it; as a-prodigal -is lost, who, in waywardness and self- will departs from his father's house.

Observes the Peterboro Examiner-- The spare room used to be somewhat Lof g sacred place. If wag so on the "Tenth Concession, It always seemed that the things in: there were hetter than in the other rooms. ft theretwas an autographed quilt in the house it: went on, the spare bed; if there: yas a water pitcher and a wash bowl with flowers on them théy were put in the spare bedroom. There: was an enlarged picture of grandfather and it used fo sit-in the parlor on an eas- el beside tlie organ. When things got a little crowded. that too, was put up It gas never used a great deal, hut there was a time when the preacher left the church and they had students come every Saturday. The people dent preacher up from Saturday until about eight miles to the railway stat- jon to get him and take him back on Monday. When he came to the house, especially in winter, we 'always felt rather sorry for him, because there was not often. much heat in the spare room, JL was over the parlor, and the-parlor: stove was not used a great deal unless someone was com- ing for tea. When the student. came the parlor stove would be lit and the stovepipe ran up through the spare room, but the heat always did seem to go right straight up and out the chimney. The rest of-the family used the other side of the house and there was a fair amount of heat from the drums in the pipes upstairs. But when the 'student "preacher used to get'led toward the spare room on Saturday night when he said re | would like to do a little quiet work we felt sorry for him. We figured that probably he had Heen used to a warm room at home and the change might do him harm. We knew too, that in cold weather he'd probably have to blow'a hole in the ice on the window in the morning to see what sort of a day it was outside, and he might have, to tap the icé on the wa- ter pitcher* with the handle of the hajr brush before he could wash, But as a rule, the student preacher would show up on Sunday morning and say 'he had 'enjoyed a. fine night's sleep and on that account. we came to have a lot of respect for preachers and stu- dents. They were no sissies and could endure hardship, although they gen- range after that to prepare for Sunday- evening sertice. - So it is we are pleased to see that: the question of what to do about the spare room is being taken up today. It always was a pjce secluded sort of place but we re felt sorry for cold weather, Bend Your Way To "They say a woman is as old as she looks,~but I have a theory that she is only as old muscles," declares Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars. ' "Allow the back to grow stiff and the body is no longer flexible," he continued. - "The minute muscles become tense and stiff, _.a woman starts to show her age." - J Mr. Loomis advises all women to stretch their way to health and therefore to beauty. He thinks it an excellent idea to bend backwards and forwards from the waistline sev- eral times a day. As goon as one of his own glamorous pupils can touch the floor with, her hands, meanwhile keeping knees stiff, he directs her to stand on' a thick book and try .to touch the floor from this elevated position.
