The "Old Hen" is Not Tough if Properly Cooked We often hear the expression "It‘s a4 tough as an old hen," and to many the old hen dos: not make an attracâ€" tive dish because very frequently it is not cooked properly. But it can be gooked to make a most tempting dinâ€" ner for the family. Next time youl intend to have a twoâ€"yearâ€"old chicken try steaming it a couple of hourn“ instead of boiling it in a large quanâ€" tity of water. If you have not a reguâ€" lar steamer put it on the rack in the roasting pan, all stuffed and ready, add about an inch of water and cover elosely, or put the fowl in a collander and set in a kettle with water in the bottom, cover closely and allow to steam. After that, if it was not stuffed before, you can do so now. Then roast 1t desired, basting it frequently with the liquor it has been steamed in, browning it quickly, then cooking gontly over a low heat until tender, Another way to prepare it is to steam it, then cut the fowl into pieces, flour each piece and brown in someé ot the chicken fat in a frying pan. Cover with the water it has been steamed in, add seasoning and bake or cook gently on stove, till tender, The gravy can be varied by using in It tomatoes, green or red peppetrs, chopped fine, browned onions, celery goed or celery salt or mushrooms.

Calgary Herald: Just as aniline dyeos and different medicinal preparaâ€" tions have been secured from coal tar and fine rayon fabrics from wood pulp, so is it possible that â€" wheat might _ produce _ equal surprises. Among those suggested are a nonâ€" intoxicating beverage, a new fuel @lement to improve the quality of gasoline, and a cross with some other grain to form a new product. _ The vigorous National Research Council in Ottawa might devote its attention to the suggestion. For 13 years "Luck,‘ a large Fack! dog, was the constant companion of Victoria, Queen of â€"Sweden,. _ The queenâ€"and the big dog walking beâ€" wide her became familiar figures in many _ European capitals. _ During the queen‘s last iliness in Rome the faithful dog seemed to sense that the end of his mistress was near and he refused to leave the sick chamber. _ Aftor the queen‘s death "Luck" reofused to eat, became . ill and soon died. ‘A Synthetic Use for Wheat Faithful Even in Death TWILIGHT HOUR STORY Billy just stayed around their box very quietly in the barn for a long time the next morning and this is what they did. Pretty soon one little black puss who looked just like his mother peak ed out from behind a door, and As soon as it saw he was still there back it popped out of sight. It looked so cute, but he could not get a good look at it for it was gone so quickly. Billy thought, I‘ll get you, you little rascal," so he took a long straw and walked over to the door then ran the end of the straw over the floor where he knew the kitten could see it. Back and forth he ran it, back and forth, back and forth. Then all at onco out popped a little black paw to grab it. But back it went again as quickly as could be to hide. _ However, Billy just kept on and soon out came the paw and part of his funny black head, land this time it got the straw from Billy, for he wasn‘t holding it veryi tight, and hbofore he could grab that piece of straw back again the little black kitty had run of with it in its mouth. Oh, it looked so funny. But it didn‘t keep it very long, for it soon found the straw wouldn‘t move beâ€" cause there was no Billy to make itl go. Well, first thing Billy knew it was back again and, just think, this‘ time it was so near he could put his. hand on it and wasn‘t it a dear, soft: little thing? He picked it up so very? carefully. I guess all at once it re membered who Billy was and when he picked it up he could feel and hear it purring. So they played thore for a long time. 1 said "they" because all the others came out, too, as so0n as they saw Blacky was having a good time, and it wasn‘t long before they were on his shoulder and biting his fingers with their little teeth which, of course, didn‘t hurt a bit, and doing all sorts of things, then when they had played so hard that they got pretty tired, all at once they cuddled up toâ€" gether in their box aul in two winks they were sound asleep. That didn‘t take long, did it? By BUD FISHER. take long, did it? When he came in the house he told Mamma what a good time he had been having, and talking about kittens made him think of Fluffy, the house cat persian, whose cushion was empty on her old chair in the corner.

Lesson Xâ€"Jesus Crucifiedâ€" Luke 23: 33â€"44. Golden Textâ€"He was wounded for our transgresâ€" sions, he was bruised for our iniâ€" quities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.â€"iIsaiah 53: 1.

Regarded simply as a erucifixion, the death of Jesus did not differ from hundreds of other crucifixions in Palâ€" estine and elsewhere. _ That which makes the death of Jesus unique was the spirit in which he died and the consequent results of his death. The Evangelist here has a double task to perform; he has to tell us what hapâ€" pened, but, in so doing, he has also to make us feel the inwardness, the real meaning of the story. He has to make us feel that this was not ouly a crucifixion; it was Jesus who was crucified. This was something altoâ€" gother different from the crucifixion } of ordinary wrongdoers, as one of them ‘uimself recognized, vs. 40â€"4%. We are to understand further that the malice of man reached the uttermost llimits in the taunting of Jesus as he hung upon the Cross, vs. 35â€"38. Jesus | himself was unchanged through it a)l; his love to man never failed (v. 34), l nor his faith in God, v. 46. The scene ‘ is brought into relation with ancient prophecy and with the eternal purâ€" poses of God by clear references to the twentyâ€"second psalm, v. 34f. The eternal or cosmic significance of Jesus‘ death is brought out by the | assertion that when he was dying, the sun swooned in@the sky and conld give no light, and that at his death the Temple curtain was split in two. II. a PRAYER FroR FoRcrvENESS, 23: B4. Strictly, it would seem, the Roman soldiers rather than the Jows: are intended in the prayer, but that Jesus did "forgive" the Jews is plain from many sides. This indeed was his great victory that their changing attiâ€" tude to him could not change his attiâ€" tude to them; that not even treachâ€" ery, repudiation, scorn, hatred and the worst that malice could do, could make him cease to love,. The Cross is the supreme illustration and proof of a divine love that nothing can change. If sin abounds, grace yet more abounds. When people have "glorâ€" ied" or "boasted" in the cross of Christ, we understand them to mean that through the death of Jesus, God T. 124 d 1 13 400 2s P ic i in tss Cg a i has brought home «> their hearts his | love whic all their sin and shame had ncither dimmed nor diminished. III. tu® Love or cHurIsST, 23: 35â€"45. V. 351. These taunts may have been shallow and thoughtless, yet they preâ€" sent a real problem to: thoughtful minds. â€" Josus had proclaimed the love and sovercign care of God for all his, children. God numbers the very hairs of our heads; not a sparrow falls to| the grourd without his cognizance.‘ How much mors will be care for his children? He who feeds the ravens| and clothes the lily moy surely be trusted to provide for his children. This, then, was the God in whom Jesu; had trusted, and with what reâ€" sult? He hung upon he Cross, helpâ€" less, deserted, mocked. Did not his fate contradict his teaching? But the care and Providence of God that watch over his children do not mean that ho will keep them from all S"f,fff" ing and all painful experiences. The Christian must always *+rust utterly to Godâ€"even though God call im to "take up his Cross." The Christian must not ask to be saved from all suffering, but by faith to be made triumphant over all suffering. We are ‘o be saved, rct from the world, but in the midst of the worst the world can do. oi ty td . WVUIRW WUITI TXT V. 45. "The veil of the Temple" is the curtain that scrauned off the Holy of Holics, Only oa one day in the year, the great Day of Atonement. Cid the High Priest enter the Holy of Ioliesâ€"â€"and alone. The effect of the death of Jesus was to throw open the way of access into the most holy presâ€" ence of God to all who came to him through Jesus. The rending of the veil is, therefors, in all probability to be taken symbolicaliy. It is a splendia picture or image of the gosâ€" pel of Jesus.

Menace Sought Hair Charm Need for continued public education in the control of Venereal Disease and a review of the struggle against these diseases during the past eleven years is presented by Dr. Gordon Bates in an editorial in the Canadian Public Health Journal current issue. That which has been accomplished is indicated, the doctor believes, by figures of surveys conducted in Toâ€" ronto and Winnipeg. "The incidence shown in these two cities is lower1 than that in any American city surâ€" veyed as yet. In addition we have l‘ record of standard venereal disease control legislation on the statute books of every province except Quebec, which has a law in this regard pecuâ€" liar to the province. Venereal Disâ€" ease clinics, one hundred and two altogether, have been established in alt of the provinces and several hundred thousands persons have been reported as having been brought under treatâ€" ment. In addition a great deal of public education has been carried on by means of the lecturer, the moving picture, the pamphlet and last but not least the active venereal disease clinic. It is extremely dificult in the abâ€" sence of periodic surveys to arrive at an opinion as to what all of this has been accomplished. The general opinâ€" ion is that little has resulted in so far as the control of gonorrhoea is conâ€" cerned but that syphilis is decreasing. The annual report of the standing comâ€" mittee on veneral diseases of the Canadian Social Hygiene Council bears out this opinion. General parâ€" alysis of the insane which previously increased after all wars, since the Great War has decreased in incidence in our asylums, Routine Wasserman reports, where they are available, show a steady decrease in the inciâ€" ‘denco of hospitalized syphilis, One cannot but conjecture that in the absence of the coâ€"ordinated plan which came into being immediately at the close of the war, conditions would have been much worse. "There are gaps in the present scheme. For example, vencreal disâ€" ease in rural areas and some urban areas as well is not properly dealt with largely because of the lack ot‘ adequate general health machinery. The development of the County Health Unit program may be relied upon to correct this situation to a degree. The routine Wasserman test is not applied as generally as it should be either in hospital, in general practice or in the inspection of immigrants. The control of gonorrhoea, both in Cauada and in other countries, seems to be as diftiâ€" cult as ever. ‘The solution of this problem seems to lie largely in public education. "While salistactor; progress . has been made in dealing with the situaâ€" tion, we should continue to check our results from time to time with a view to constantly improving our methods.

The madeâ€"toâ€"order wave is by no means a modern beauty device, avcording to a recent bulletin of the National Geographic Society, for even in anâ€" cient times curled hair was considâ€" ered more attractive than straight, and if nature did not provide waves art supplied them. "The fair Poppea Sabina, Empress of Rome (A.D. 65), and domineerâ€" ing influence over the boy king Nerq, had her hair made into a mass of small ringlets, plastered close to her head by the use of salves, ungents and often a kind of mud," the bu!â€" letin says. "Observe almost any statuary of women in the Greek style and you will find this stonmelike wave predominant, "Crude curling irons, combs that resemble stif paint brushes, crushâ€" ed henna leaves and other herbs for dyeing were the accessories used. Long hairpins and brilliantine in the form of oils and ointments usually completed the coiffure.
