A cracked egg can be boilâ€" ed successfully by adding a teaâ€" spoonful ofâ€"salt to the water and the white will not run out. A pinch of salt should always be added to the water when poaching eggs and the cream or white of eggs can be beatâ€" en up far more readily if salt is added. \ Combine sugar, corn syrup,. and water. Bring quickly to a boil, stirâ€" ring only until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly, without stirring, until a small amount of syrup forms a soft ball in cold water, or spins a long thread when dropped from tip of spon <~(240 degree F.). Pour syrup in a fine stream over egg whites, beating constantly. _ Add lemon juice. Continue beating with rotary egg beater 10 to 15 minutes, or until frosting is cool and of conâ€" sistency to spread. Use wooden spoon when too stiff for beater. Fold in raisins and coconut. Makes enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two Qâ€"inch layers, or top and sides of 8 x 8 x 2â€"inch cake (generously) or about 2 dozen cup cakes. Toasted cocouut fruit topping is simply made and must be used at once. Piled on any white cake it makes a delicious sweet course. 2 tablespoons confectioners‘ sugar 1â€"3 cup chopped dates % cup cream, whipped 1 cup premium shred coconut Add sugar to cream; fold in one half the coconut and dates. Spread on cake and sprinkle with remainâ€" ing coconut. Makes enough topping for 8 x 8â€"inch cake. Hawaiian Frosting ‘ 2 cups sugar ; 1 teaspoon light corn syrup 2â€"3 cup water 2 egg whites, stifMy beaten 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup chopped raisins % can coconut, Southern style, chopped cut in pieces « 2 tablespoons hot water 2 eggzs well beaten 1 cup confectioner‘s sugar % cup butter, washed in cold water to remove salt Melt chocolate in double boiler, add hot water, and blend. Add eggs and sugar. Remove from fire, but allow mixture to stand over hot water, stirring constantly until it is slightâ€" ly thickened (3 minutes). Cool quickâ€" ly to lakewarm. Add butter, 2 tableâ€" spoons at a time, stirring and blendâ€" ing after each addition. Makes enough filling and frosting to cover tops and sides of three 9â€"inch layers. Chocolate is a universal favourite for any sweet dish. Hungarian chocoâ€" late frosting can be kept in the reâ€" frigerator until it is needed and then spread on cakes that are still slightâ€" ly warm. This softens the filling so that it will spread more easily. Mungarian Chocolate Frosting 4 squares unsweetenced chocolate, Those perfect, fineâ€"textured standâ€" ard butter cakes make into a variety of interesting confections by using unusual frostings. Ihne smart hostess elaborately iced eonco. table today. She se made cake with simp icing. The frosting n if it had been handled weird shanes and Anci. icing. The frosting never looks as if it had been handled or poked in weird shapes and designs, but rather as if it were quickly _ and cleverly used to top the cake.

Cake Flour One‘s own cake flour can be made by adding two tablespoons of cornâ€" starch to each cup of ordinary flour. Boiling Eggs Wet the eggs with cold water beâ€" fore dropping them into the boiling water and they will seldom crack. Coffee For Flavor Leftâ€"over coffee can be used for flavoring puddings, cakes, desserts or sauces. Parsley Wash the parsley with hot water and see how much easier it is to chop. Adhesive tape should be wrapped around the handles on ash cans or pails or anything heavy which must be handled. It can be used to repair a mattress or a canvas sleeping cot and will keep a rope from ravelling. It will hold curtain drapes in place and will repair shades and window awnings. Adbesive will mend broken or cracked linoleum amd can be used as a binding edge on a carpet that ’has been cut. It is a good idea to tape the bottom of a rocking chair to preâ€" vent skidding and adhesive will keep heat pads in place as well as taping back the protruding ears of a child. Adhesive can be used to mend dog collars as well as forming the inner lining on rough collars. It makes a good hinge for a small box and can be used to repair piano hammers and to insulate hammers in bells. It is the best way of sealing a room for fumigation as when strips of adâ€" hesive at the windows, at the door and other openings the _ room is hermetically sealed. Adhesive is useâ€" ful for mending satchels, suitcases and brief cases as well as for mendâ€" ing baggage coverings. I be no danger of dust or moths getâ€" ting in. Leave a piece of the tape beyond the edge of the box so that you can get a grip on it when you want to open the box again. If there are a lot of bottles resting on a slippery glass shelf, it is a good notion to apply strips of adâ€" hesive to the bottom of the bottles so that there will be no chance of slipping and breaking. This goes for vases or any other objects that rest on highly polished surfaces. If you store clothes or household articles in ordinary cardboad boxes it is a good idea to hermetically seal the sides down with adhesive so that there will TRY THESE TiPs Adhesive will hold shoulder straps in place on an evening gown, as well as repairing a corset, especially when bones feel inclined to slip out. And it can be a real life saver when the tip comes off shoes laces. â€" Just wind a little adhesive around the frayed shoe lace and see how easily it slips into the eyelets. In hot weather, when you are tired and thirsty, and particulariy after profuse perspiration, when you feel the need of a long, deep drink of water, add a pinch of salt to it. It is the surest, most scientific preâ€" ventive of heat exhaustion or heat cramps. If the men are working in the garden or the children are playâ€" ing outside on a hot day, put a little salt in the water they will want to drink when they come in and they will be saved a lot of discomfort and have more energy. HOME HINTsS Furthermore, over a period of sevâ€" eral years farm account books bring out an increasing number of useful facts. The records sugest that differâ€" ent fields need different soil treatâ€" ment. They give definite standards of performance in the use of feeds. in the production of butterfat and other livestock products, and do much to change the yearly plans of the farmer from a matter of chance and guesswork into reasonable plans based on demonstrated facts and reâ€" lationships. To the many obvious reasons for keeping farm accounts should be addâ€" ed the folowing one, at least under present conditions, according to ofâ€" ficials of the Field Husbandry Divisâ€" ion. Farmers seeking credit are beâ€" ing required to furnish an increasâ€" ing amount of information. A stateâ€" ment of net worth as obtained from a farm account book is the basic credit statement. In addition, borâ€" rowers may be required to furnish a budget of expenses and income in order to arrive at a schedule of borâ€" rowing and repayments. Without adequate records of his farm busiâ€" ness the borrower cannot do himself justice to represent his application in the most favourable light. Protecting The Yard Dogs and cats will not bother the evergreens, shrubs and flowers if the following spray is used about every two weeks. To one gallon of water add 1% teaspoonfuls of diluted nicotine sulphate. The commercial preparation usually contains about 40 per cent. nicotine sulphate. Patching Plaster The usual trouble one has when patching holes in the wall is that the plaster of Paris or matching plaster, sets too quickly when mixed with water. But this will not happen if vinegar is used to mix it instead of water. To Freshen Bread When a loaf of baker‘s bread is beginning to grow stale, leave the waxed paper on it and place in a moderate oven for a few minutes. Then allow it to cool before using. The bread will be as fresh as desirâ€" ed. Patent Leather The patent leather handbag, or other such article, can easily cleanâ€" ed of finger marks by using a cloth dipped in milk. After the leather has dried, polish with a soft cloth. Keep Farm Accounts â€"_ Scorched Dishes If dishes have been scorched or burnt, let them stand for a day in a solution of borax water. then wash with soap and water, and the brown stains will disappear. After the sewing machine has been thoroughly oiled use a thin blotter and stitch a few rows through it to take away any surplus of oil that may have been left around the needle mechanism. Watch The Eyes If your child has to hold the book he is reading closer than fourteen inches, the chances are his eyes are being strained. The remedy is eyeâ€" glasses or better lighting, or both. Protecting The Finger When necessary to do quite a bit of paring of fruit or vegetables, proâ€" tect the forefinger from both stains and cuts by wrapping a strip of adâ€" hesive around it. Oil The Wringer Keep the clothes wringer well ciled and it will not be hard to operate. The machine oil that is used for the sewing machine can be used for this purpose. Cleaning Raincoats To clean a rubberized silk rainâ€" coat of good quality lay it flat in the bathtub wash it inside and out with a rag and cold soapsuds. Use cold water for ringing. Cod Liver Oil Before giving a dose of cod liver oil, or any emulsion, dip the spoon in cold water. This will prevent any of the medicine from sticking to the spoon.

Manitoba Highway Work Authorized thinned Slowly, with steady blows, with creaking sound, And I still here to see them on the ground. _ â€"Katherine Garrison Chapin, in "The Spinners." O, I had rather they went down in wrath, On a great winter night of steelâ€" breathed wind, In a dark hurricane that cuts a path Of wideswept desolation; but not With a dull axe you slowly fell the trees Within that leafy grove which is my heart; Scatter their boughs and humble to their knees These tall strongâ€"rooted trunks that ~stand apart, Waiting to bear anew love‘s burst of flower, Sheltering water of our secret spring. Now these are doomed; and here within the hour Is a bleak hillside where the axes ring. Write your name and address plainly, giving number and size of such patterns as you want.

This Last Tree Smart!â€" Slender! "And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said." Speaking to and through the prophets who were there. Ideal conâ€" dition of every churchâ€"directed by the Spirit of God. "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work in large numbers had first been united to the Church. "Prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger." The latter a Jew, not mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament. "And Lucius of Cyrene." Perhaps the one referred to in Rom. 16 : 21. "And Manaen, the fosterâ€" brother of Herod the terarch, and saul." What different nationalities to be found in a Church so young! "Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there." Antioch of Syria, where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11 : 26). Here begins the first great. missionâ€" ary journey of Paul, whgre Gentiles "And ye shall be my witnesses." A witness is one who has seen that to which he bears witness, is ableâ€" acâ€" curately and truly to appraise its value, and is able also to communiâ€" cate what he has seen. "Both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This verse is a table of contents to the book of the Acts of the Apostles. The whole book is a description of the fulfillâ€" ment of this promise: the Spirit given; the witnessâ€"bearing begun in Jerusalem by Peter. "But ye shall receive power." They were thinking of his power over Gentile nations; he was concerned for their power over the world, the flesh, and the devil, in a personal ministry. "When the Holy Spirit is come upon you." The power which the early disciples received at Penteâ€" cost was an enduement equally for the service of speech and silence, for suffering and sacrifice. The power of the Spirit as receivable by each inâ€" dividual believer.in just strength to do the present will of God. "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or se:#ns." The first word, times, may w be taken to mean space of time as such, the duration of the Church‘s history, and (the second), the critical periods in that history. "Which the Father hath set within his own authority." The marginal reading. is probably the clearer: Which the Father hath appointed by his own authority. In these words the meaning of which, when taken in their connection, is as plain as day, our Lord Jesus abâ€" solutely forbade even His inspired apostles, and much more us, to seek to penetrate the domain of dates in‘ connection with His coming and His kingdom. ‘ "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying." The verb asked is in the imperfect active, indicating that they repeatedâ€" ly asked before Jesus answered. "Lord, doest thou at this time reâ€" store the kingdom to Israel?" See Luke 24 : 21. As a matter of fact, the Messianic kingdom, for which they were asking, is a political kingâ€" dom that would throw o% the hated Roman yoke. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time and Place â€" The <twelfth chapter of Genesis records and event occurring B.C. 2083. Jonah carried on his prophetic ministry principally in B.C. 862. The appearance of Christ here given from â€" Matthew‘s Gospel occurred in the late spring of A.D. 30, in Galilee. The passages taken from the Book of Acts record events occurring in Jerusalem, Anâ€" tioch, Asia Minor, Macedonia, and Caesarea.

COLDEN TEXTâ€"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. Mark 16 : 15. NBAY | 2. 2CHOO|_rEsson THE ZYAT KISSâ€"Green Orchids 24 Genesis 49 : 6; 28 : 19, ; 16 : 6â€" "Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being asâ€" tonished at the teaching of the Lord." h "But Saul, who is â€"also called Paul" (the first occurrence of this name), "filled with the Holy Spirit." Here read the promise of Christ to ‘his â€" disciples . concerning occasions such as this one (Luke 21 : 14, 15). "Fastened his eyes on him, 10. And said, O full of all guile" (deceit) "and ‘all villany." This last word is from a word meaning one who does a thing with little effort. and adâ€" roitly; then, in a bad sense, a man who is facile and forward in the perpetration of crime, a knave, a rogue. "Thou son of the devil." Cf. John 8 : 44; 17 : 12. "Thou enemy of all righteousness." "Wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" Apparently it had been his life for years to keep men from hearing and accepting the truth: twere are many like him today, and sâ€"me in our own country, in places of influence, especially in our co‘â€" leges and universities. "But Elymas." A word meaning wise, and probably a selfâ€"assumed designation. "The sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) *withâ€" stood them." He qpposed â€" their preaching, as Jannes and Jambres, the magicians of Egypt, had withâ€" stood Moses, and as men in the last days will withstand divine truth (2 Tim. 3 : 8). "Seeking to turn aside the . proconsul from the faith." _ In ‘every land, espesially as the gospel first is preached,; are Satmically‘ energized men who bitterly â€" resist the truth of God‘s grace, and the entrance of light. I "Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus." The governor of the province. "A man of understandâ€" ing." Not a devout man, not wise enough to do without a wizard, but of an inquiring mind, ready to hear the truth. "The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God." Incidents could be given by all missionaries of: the longings they have discovered in the hearts of men to hear what God has toâ€" say. f ’ "And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer." The Magiâ€" an represented in his single personâ€" ality both the modern fortuneâ€"teller and the modern man of science; no strict line could be drawn between lawful honorable scrutinizing of the secret powers of Nature and illicit attempts to pry into them for sellsh erds, between science and magic, beiween chemistry and alchemy, beâ€" tween astronomy and astrology. "A false prophet, a Jew." Not a prophet who truly was sent of God, but who only pretended to speak as one. "Whose name was Barâ€"Jesus." His Jewish name. "And when they were at Salamis." At the eastern end of Cyprus, the nearest port for voyagers from Seleucia. "They proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews." It was St. Paul‘s habit inâ€" variably to go to the synagogues first (9 : 20; 14 : I, etc.). "And they had also John as their attendant." John Mark, the author of the second Gospel, nephew of Barnabas. "Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away." A striking parallel is that of Luke 6 : 12, 13. A solemn service of dedication and orâ€" dination. "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit." "Went down to Seleuâ€" cia." The seaport of Antioch,. "And from thence they sailed to Cyprus." Near Syria, the home of Barnabas (Acts 4 : 36). See also Acts II : 19, 20, ‘ whereunto J have called them." The inward call was now sanctioned by the â€"outward call of the Church, inâ€" spired by the Holy Spirit. See Rom. 1 : 1; Gal. 1 : 15. "It is time to understand that the most valuable of all capital in the world. is the people." â€"â€"_ Joseph Torontoâ€"No justification exists for the belief that impaired hearing in the low tones is due to toxic neuritis, D Samuel J. . C€rowe, Bailtimore, president of the American Otological Bociety,! stated in addressing the opening session of the 10â€"day conâ€" vention of prominen*t ear, nose anZ@ throat specialists from Great BMâ€" tain, Canada and the United Stittes held here recently. ‘The convention was he in Canâ€" ada for the first time since,. the society was founded 68 years ago. Old Thenry Is Upset € By Ear Specialists The end is not yet. "Who can say what old Mother Nature, someâ€" thing of a jokester, may evolve out of our greatâ€"great grandchildren a million years from now," muses Dr. Caster, Prostrate ,yourself before Paramâ€" phibius. He is the immediate ancesâ€" tor of all higher creaturesâ€"of man himself{. _ He bridged the gap beâ€" tween the backboned creatures of the land and the fishes in the seam. A creature still older came before himâ€"a creature that existed at least half a billion years ago, when the land of the earth was a | steaming jungle, even to what is nowâ€" the frozen Arctic. . Out of him came man and civilization in a slow upward climb in which gills became lungs. fins became fingered hands and toed legs, and something that was little more than a ganglion of nerves in the head became a thinking brain. Imagine a fish which has transâ€" formed its floating bladder or air bag into a sort of Jung so that it can breathe directly from the atâ€" mosphere. What good is a fish on land? There are lung fishes today that show what happened. l Process of Development It took millions of years before a real land animal could develop from this halfâ€"fish. MHis crude fore feet, still much like fins, became our hands. _ His real feat were better adapted for walking. In the process of evolution the body had to be kept moist and to spend half its life in water. _ Our toads, frogs, newts and salamanders are such doubleâ€"dwellâ€" ers still, Lung fishes were their anâ€" cestors, as they were of this unâ€" known â€" Paramphibius, which had already ceased to be a true fish. Out of him came the reptiles â€" the giant dinosaur» and out of the dinoâ€" saurs came the birds and out of the birds, hairy, warmblooded aniâ€" mals. I Some creature like a primordial horseshoe crab left these petrified imprints, say a few experts on fosâ€" sils, basing their conclusions on the patterns in the rock, the hitching gait, the tail mark, the vague outâ€" line of a head. But Dr. Caster holds that this fossil spoor testifies to something still more primitive. He conjures up a vision of an animal which was a sort of missing link â€" a cross between something still finny and something that was the ancestor of us all. "Paramphibius" he calls it, which means "almost a land and water dweller." Roeconstructing the Creature Listen to Dr. Caster as he deâ€" scribes a creature that must be reâ€" constructed, with such aid as paleâ€" ontology can give, from nothing but its footprints: The animal was possibly six or eight inches long. Occasionally he walked so closely to the ground that his belly markings * were impressed in the mud, and commonly dragged his tail. If Paramphibius was an amphibian he may have looked much like a large presentâ€"day salamander. He moved mostly under water, but he could crawl out on land. Presumably, he was still more at home in water than on land. If he was an amphibian, a creature that lived now on land, now in water, he was the greatâ€"greatâ€" granddaddy of all other land ani« mals that have toes, and that inâ€" cludes us too. View these tracks with respect, then. Paramphibius was a _ fishlike thing that tried to live on land but could not do so entirely because of his structure. ~ THE OLDEST TOES As he clambered among in the hills of Southern New York and Northern Pennsylvania, D. H. Hardâ€" ing, who happens to be not only the local photographer of _ Lanesboro, Pa., but an amateur geologist, saw those tracks. He cut out a whole slab of them and sent it to Cornell. Scrutinizing the tracks carefully with the practiced eye of a paleâ€" ontologist, Dr. K. E. Caster of that university decided that the imprints were of the highest scientific imâ€" portance.. They were made by the oldest "toes in the world. Some 250,000,000 years ago a creature wallowed in the mud of what is now Northern Pennsylvania. As it crawled away it left its tracks. The mud hardened into rock. Imiprints Found In Pennsylâ€" vania~ Made Millions Of Years Ago 4&
