THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE 7 HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS HEALTH `WAR BETWEEN THE FORCES OF COD AND THE FORCES OF ANTICHRIST SPIRITUAL STRATEGY NEEDED From the August issue of The Church of England Newspaper, Be The Rev. S. M. Shoemaker -struggle Because this warfare i -spiritual, not carnal; because th 'combatants are ordinary men and wo :men still going about theirs ordinal 'occupations; because it is only in dis tent places,that this spiritual w fare has become carnal ire actualere- volution and bloodshed, many of u ..are blind to its .very existence. 'if we admit its existence, we are dis inclined to find it anywhere in par ticular, a n d sentimentally hopeful that we shall somehow conte out on 'top. I think that the time has come to 'warn the Church everywhere that the 'force of anti -Christ is undermining her foundations, and, her walls are • crumbling, The enemy ii already at the gates. The power of anti.Christ has hurled itself against three great custodians of the experience and moral values; of the race, and made great inroads upon them: the State, 'the home, and the Church. Every force that make light of a true pat- riotism, of Christian marriage, and •of religion is the ally of anti -Christ. ''There are not a few such allies to be found within the Churches them- selves. The Church to -day needs tl 'hurricane message of warning. We must warty waken send rally the ' Church.' Just now the forces of anti -Christ tare attempting to wedge apart the Church and the Oxford Group. Hav- ing already made some progress in 'weakening the organised Church, by helping to break down the authority • of her faith in her divine commission •to bring the world under the sway of `God, anti-Christian forces believe that they can handle an anaemic 'Church, make it sick, and finally kill it, with the germs they spread. They 'know that it will be harder to kill the 'Church if the new life arising in the 'Oxford Group is poured, -like a trans- fusion, into its veins. Therefore they 'will do all in their power to keep the 'two apart. It is inconceivable that the ;Church itself would be so stupid as not to 'make . common cause with any move- ment which has no other organisation 'than the Churcb, which is everywhere associated with the Church, and 'whose very aims are identical with its d dot have brought us to the edge of an abyss. The Church is mostly oc- cupied with its own life and prob- lems: it does not dare to become the soul of every nation, the conscience and faith and leader of the world. If we .do not accept our God -ordained task of creating a Christian front throughout the world, massing upon it every available man,woanan and child; if we do not recapture the. secret of God -control, and accept the high command of the Holy Spirit, Who can alone unite us, and lead us to victory, then it may mean the death of the Church, as it has in oth- August will always be aLsso'eiate vwith the beginning' of the most titanic --struggle of history. I was a visitor in London during those momentous days of 1914, and saw a nation be - „ginning to mobilise'every'resource to- wards war. I believe that far more serious is- sues confront us today, and that we -are at present in a state of war be etween,the forces of God andthe for, ces of anti -Christ, the gravity of which exceeds by far that of any pas e y er lands. If we will not face and join - and win the battle with anti -Christ fir- now, bowing our heads with repen- tante for funking' it solong, then we s may lose our heads in revolution in - r stead. It is only what has come to some of our fellow -Christians else- _ where.' It is no day to mince matters. The war is on. That you may not see it does not do away with it, but only makes you useless in it. 'It is being fought and lost on a thousand fronts of individual, ecclestiastical, moral, and political compromise. Anti -Christ was never more cleverly, better or- ganized, or more determined. Some people in the Church are content to do the work of statesmen, forgetful that sometimes the work of armies must precede the work of statesmen: you cannot plan peacefully for the in- ternal welfare of a country which the enemy is taking from you bit by bit every hour. The Church must itself come again under God's control Your and I are the Church. You and I, and thousands like us, corning back to God in repentance and surrender, corning together with one another in fellowship and team -work, listening to the sure Voice, of the Holy Spirit, and going out unitedly under Him to take the world for Him—that is the royaland victorious Church of Jesus Christ. An army of life -changers loosed throughout the nations, bound together in the unity of God's sole control is the instant need of the hour. Nothing else and nothing less can. save the world or the Cee”^e ^own. The instigators ofthis effort to sever the Church and the Oxford Group must, therefore, .be the forces of anti -Christ. They cleverly make Follies within the Church of those who :are blind to the seriousness of the :situation, or guilty of the insensate folly of criticising, instead of making common cause with, any force that ,can help in the winning of the spiri- tual world -war. What is needed to -day more than anything else on oath is a spiritual -strategy for the world , which will make an of every decent person, and cause every enemy of God to ;stand self -exposed, It is the task of the Church on earth to find and im- 'elementthat strategy. I believe that in God's sight the true Church is whatever force, wherever recruited, 'with whatever historic credentials, that can find, and enforce that strat- egy, and win this war, What you needon a battle -front is strong, obed= ient amen. What God wants in the "Church isnot historically, but avail- ability. So . does man: What the '-'Church needs to learn from so many -deflections from within her midst is, -nob that she hasn't the answer for the world's needs, but that she is hot snaking that answer ring through Mout the world like a clarion, and is therefore failing' to draw all good "men to her cause. ' She must remem- ber, too; that men everywhere• look • to the Church for light: when they do not find it, disappointment conies upon them :then indifference — and finally hate. Senttnental people do not like ap 'plying the figure of war to the task ,sof the Church, though they have sung for years with meaningless enthus- iasm "Like a mighty army moves the 'G'iiurch of God." They say they want peace, and the freedoin to worship 'and serve as they like. Anti -Christ :loves to hear them say it! It makes to I1ws e for the 6 TURNIP This is another vegetable that is good for one and yet many went eat it in spite of the fact that it is good for one's system. Almost every far- mer grows turnips, and as a cheap, tasty vegetable the humble turnip is within reach of everyone's budget. Thu might Iike to try this tempting., recipe on your family. Turnips Balis with Parsley 2 cups turnip balls ' Quarter cup butter 3 drops onion juice Flalf tablespoon minced parsley 2 tsp, lemon juice, Cut the turnips into balls. Cook therm in boiling salted water until just tender. Drain and heat in the butter to which has been added the lemon, onion and parsley.

INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA R. liker REGULARITY Far too many people look upon life as a hit- and miss affair; They will i tell you that they just take what comes by following the stream of existence wherever - it leads them. There is a certain amount of pleasant philosophy in that way of living but the truth of the matter is that life was never intended to be lived that way. Take a look about you. All the laws of nature disclose to an ob- servant person that there is a plan which follows a definite course, whet- her it be the coming and going of the seasons, the rising of the sun, the blooming of the flowers or the fal- ling of the leaves. Why is that? Be- cause nature is not a hit and miss affair. Nature does things according to schedule and with constant regu- larity. Nature can be depended upon no matter what occasional divergen- cies she may show. Man was created as part of na- ture's plan, The laws of nature if kept or broken bring their appropriate rewards. e When it' comes to ordinary habits we should be guided by a plan which is constant and regular. Now that doesn't mean that we suggest a hum- drum or monotonous existence, not at all, But it isn't necessary to have meals at irr'egulae times, to sleep just when one can conveniently do so, to exercise or not just as the spi- rit moves one, to make life worth liv- ing.' On the other ,rand the person who cultivates regular habits of eat- ing, sleeping and exercising will be the healthier for doing so. It is a well known fact that boys and girls and older people too, when living under conditons where regularity of life exists, feel better and book better. The human body tends to thrive on regularity of attention. One of the commonest complaints to which mankind is heir is constipa- tion. And one of the commonest causes of constipation is neglect. The desire to gate stool may assert itself but the individual is busy about some- thing else and the desire is not acted upon, Your doctor will tell you that one of the best ways to avoid con- stipation or to correct it is to estab- lish a regular habit of answering na- ture's call. Even though results are not always satisfactory stick to the habit and you will be gratified to see how it will help you to avoid or overcome this common complaint. ICE CREAM HAS HIGH FOOD; VALUE Many people .have the mistaken idea that when they eat ice cream they are consuming something which has actually little food value. That ice cream is often called a luxury Proves that its nutritive value is generally underestimated, but the fact remains that the palatable' flay - our 'and refreshing quality of this valuable food have been responsible for its popularity. It is now air easy matter to deter» mine definitely the food value of commercially -made ice cream a'or regu- lations under the Dairy Industry Act specify the composition of both ice cream and sherbet. According' to' the regulations, ice cream as the frozen product made from milk products with or without eggs, water, sugar, harmless flavouring, harmless colour - Mg; it may contain not more 'than .5 per cent by weight of edible 'sta- bilizer such as gelatine; it must con- tain not less than 85 per cent by weight of food solids; not less than one and nine -tenths (1.9) paunda of food solids per gallon and not lest than. 18 per cent by weight of milk fat, except in cases when fruits, nuts, etc. are added, in which event the ice cream can have a minimum fat content of 11 per -cent by weight. These regulations should be of. great interest to the consumer, be- cause it means that ice cream is now a. standardized food with a 'definite food value. Calculating the calorie value of a pint of ice cream accord- ing to the minimum standard, com- position, reveals that a pint brick of ice cream contains at least 628 calor- ies, approximately 360 of which are provided by the fat, and 268 calories by the protein and sugar. Usually, a pint brickis divided into five serv- ings and so a medium serving of ice cream yiel,ds 125 calories or more, which is a valuable contribution to.. the total daily food .requirement: A double -dip cone, a real treat for most children, and . not refused by many adultsf'yields about 140' calor- ies. Balance In Every Room To obtain balance in 'a' room or brighten a dark carver, make a look- ing glass window as a background for a dressing table. This serves the double purpose of utility and decora- tion. Hang unframed glass the sante size as the iether windows • in the room in the desired place. A glass curtain valance could conceal indi- reet lighting. Draperies to snatch the others in the room may be hung on either side, of the glass. If you prefer to add a' real window to the room funds may be obtained for this purpose from any Canadian bank under the Home Improvement Plan. They. Are Good $genders During the past season tourists visiting Canada spent approximately $300,000,000 .for goods and services, an increase of 16 per cent over last year, according to C. K. Howard, Manager of the Tourist and Conven- tion Bureau of the Canadian Nation- al Railways. In 1929, the tourist spending year, the amount was $309,- 000,000. 309;000,000. ` In an interview Mr. Howard point- ed out that every phase of industry is affected by the influx of tourists. "The tourisb dollar is spread over a larger proportion of our population than any other dollar," he said. Scottish Hotel Names Intrigued Canadians Ottawa.= -In Canada, the word "Hy- dro" usually refers to one of the country's most vital assets, hydro -el- ectric power. It's a different story in Britain, where the people always think of a hotel when "Hydro" is mentioned. The -term is short for "lIydr'opathie". English and Scot- tish Hydros are usually temperance hotels where water cures are the thing. Canadians learned something about them during the visit of 22 Scottish hotelkeepers and their wives. The party, organized under the joint aus- pices of the Scottish Travel Associa- tion and the Hotels and Restaurants' Association 'of Great Britain, spent a day at Ottawa, seeing the Parliament Buildings and other aspects of the Capital and making a thorough in- spection tour of The Chateau Laurier, where they were entertained to din - nee by the Canadian National Rail- ways hotel department. Two Hydros were represented in the group — one at Peebles and the other at Skehnorlie. Hotel names in the list that seemed particularly ro- mantic to Canadian ears were the Ugadade Arms of Machrihanish, the Duke of Gordon Hotel of Kingussie, and the Bailie Nicol Jarvis of Aber- foyle. The last is named after a popular Walter Scott character, .the magistrate in "Rob Roy". "AN ODE TO WOMAN" She's a demon in truth, an angel in fiction, Oh, woman, the greatest of all con- tradietion; She's afraid of a eoackroach, she'll scream at a mouse, But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. , She'll take hirrelor better, she'll take him for.worse, She'll split his head open and then be his nurse; And when he is well and can get out of bed, She'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen -sighted and blind, She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel and she's kind; She'll lift a man .up and cast a: man down, She'll call him her king and make lien her clown. You fancy she is this and find she is that, For she'll -purr like a kitten and scratch like a. cat; In the morning slre will and the even- ing she won't,' And, ,your always expecting she will but she don't.

THE LOWLY CABBAGE POPULAR VEGETABLE 'With cabbages one of 'the lowest Priced vegetables on the market one should make full use of them, espec- ially when they are so rich in food value" and so delectable to the taste. To many it is the, queen of vege- tables, even though, in its cooking, it may send a permeating odour through the house. Te some its raw state. is preferable, and it can be combined in so many delicious salads that one. would never tire of it. For instance try some of the following combine - tions. 1. Shredded cabbage, grated pine- apple and sour cream dressing., 2, Shredded cabbage, chopped pea- nuts and boiled dressing,. 3. Shredded cabbage, diced celery, diced apple, chopped nuts and whip- ped cream flavoured with sugar and vanilla. 4. Shredded cabbage, chopped cu- cumber pickles, diced celery, diced hard -cooked egg and dressing. 5. Shredded cabbage, with Thous- and Island dressing. 6. Shredded' cabbage, dates and nuts, _with sour cream dressing. 7. Shredded cabbage; grated raw carrots, `onion chopped fine boiled dressing. 8, Chopped cabbage, diced pineap plc, diced apples. Serve with boiled dressing and garnish with whipped cream and blanched almonds. 9. Cabbage, beets and horseradish, with sweetened vinegar. 10. Shredded cabbage in combine 'Hoe with other vegetables in a gela- tine salad. 11. Equal parts of finely shredder, cabbage and diced bananas, with cream dressing. Gone is the day when` cabbage is broken into its huge leaves, plunged into the pot and bolded for dear knows how long, the result a brown soggy mess' with little flavor, except for its strength and strong taste. To• clay, the housewife shaves it as fine- ly as for salad, drops it into a large pot of boiling. water and cooks it, uli- covered, for seven minutes. When done it should be beautifully green and tender, and even makes a most appetizing addition to your ureal. If you are not afraid of your di- gestion, and there ars many people who do not hesitate from serving fried foods to their families, you might try Russian Cabbage Five tablespoons shortening, 6 cups finely shredded cabbage, half cup cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, quarter teaspoon mustard, half teaspoon salt, Melt shor'tening and fry cabbage in cream, sugar, mustard and salt to- gether and add to the cabbage. Mix it slowly, 10 to 15 minutes. Mix well and heat thoroughly, Or for further variety try Broiled Cabbage with Cheese 1 very small head of cabbage Salt and pepper Thin slices of cheddar cheese. Cut cabbage into sections, leaving heart on each section. Cook in boil- ing salted water until tender. Drain, season, cover with thin slices of cheese. Run under broiler until cheese bubbles. Sprinkle with papri- ka and serve at once with crisp ba- con. This is very nice, but must be serv- ed immediately. It does not bear warming up as some vegetables do. BUILDING FOR BETTER HEALTH Each year at the Christmas season we aro asked to share 005 blessings with those who are less fortunate than wo are. We aro asked to help finance the Prov- ince -wide tight against tuberculosis. TUberoulosis is a - germ disease. It may affect any organ of the body, but. parts most frequently attacked aro the lungs, bones and glands. People are not born with tuberculosis and it is not Inherited. The germs that cause it mustcome from some ono who has tete disease. Infections from cattle- can be transmitted to human beings in milk and flesh of diseased animals.

THE PRINTERS' TOWEL When I think of the towel, The old-fashioned towel, That hung by the printing house door, I think that nobody, In these days of shoddy, Could hammer out iron to wear as it 'wore. The tramps who, abused it, The devil who used it, The comp who got at it when these two were gone, The makeup and foreman The editor, poor man, Each rubbed some grime off for the heap they put on. In, over and under, 'Twas blacker than thunder; 'Twas harder than poverty, rough- er than sin. From the roller suspended, It never was bended, And it flapped on the wall like a banner of tin. It grew thicker and rougher, And harder and tougher, And daily put on a more inkier) hue; Till one windy morning Without any warning It fell on the floor and was broken in two. Printing Review. OPPORTUNITY This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream: . There spread a cloud of dust along a plain; And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged A. furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's banner Wavered, then staggered 'backward, hemmed by foes, A craven Bung along the battle's edge, And thought, "Had I a sword of keen- er steel— That blue blade that the king's son bears—but this Blunt thing—t" he snaptt and flung it from his hand, And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounder,, sore beset, Ansi weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt buried in the dry and trodden sand, And ran and snatched it, and with battle -shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause that heroic day. —Edw• ard Rowland Sill. THE MISER I have been a miser, yet have not hoarded gold, Not in any :banker's notes shall. my Wealth be told; And that which I have hidden no man can take away, For I have stored it in my heart for ever 'and a day! O,but I have wondrous things in my treasure chest! Such as never pirate found on any old- en quest; - For I have stored life's goldengifts, and still I go a -seeking For other treasures I may place within my mem'ry's keeping, I have kept the comradeship that • :lights all friendly faces, And the starry peace o' nights in little eountry places; I have treasured winging ships, little waves' crisp laughter Foreign winds that haunt the seas, and gulls that follow after. I have gardens blooming , fair with flowers that never fade,. And half a dozen little graves ' where. ' dear lost dreams are laid; I have many a hearth -fire's flame, and many a loved book's pages; I have .childhood's careless mirth and the music of all ages. THE OUTSIDER Outside the gates of paradise, he'll wait: This little dog who died the 'ether day, For Some One that he loved once; went that way, And he may glimpse her, passing,, through the gate. Six Christian Churchmen said it was not meet That his small heart should find it* - well-earned rest Within the churchyard, on the brown, earth's breast, Crouched -as in life—at his deaf* Lady's feet. Strange! _ That the little chap must wait outside! He had the virtues of the best of us; Such casual treatment seems ungen- erous, i t!el But—given orders—courteously he'll bide; Waiting, perhaps, till I have chane to speak With Christ, who loved each faithful, follower. —Alice Field Hale, "THE OTHER MAN" Perhaps he sometimes slipped a bit—.

MUSIC 14Iusic is a tonic for the tired and weary mind, It's comfort for the lonely and it's pictures to the blind; 'Tis sympathy and laughter and it's faith and hope and prayer It's kindness in its brightest dress and its welcomed. everywhere. It strengthens hearts courageous and it urges men along, The tide of battle often- has been altered by a song; . No race can live without it, it is heard from pole to pole, For knusie is the utterance and ex- pression of the soul. We catch it by the .cradle in, the mother's Iullaby, The sweetest form of music that is known beneath the sky; The youth must sing when wooing and the soldier in the field Wi11 march to death- undaunted with music for` his shield.
