In a reedit issue of "Better Living" Mrs. Clara Gehl:arc' .Sty der ---a real expert -makes the fol- lowing .s,riking statement: - "In more than 20 years of teaching bread -making, I have heard more husbands brag about their wires' skill at making good bread than about their pies, cakes, or even meat dishes. Maybe the fragrance of baking bread reminds them of home and mother. Or maybe sten just like good food. * * * A statement which, I may say, I heartily personally endorse; also Mrs. Snyder's recommendation to. start off with a good sponge, as a foundation and from that sponge make bread, rolls and as many other variants as you may fancy. * SPONGE BASE 2 packages dry or compressed yeast 3 cup lukewarm water 15/2, cups scalded milk, cooled to lukewarm 1/ cups lukewarm water 1 tablespoon sugar 4 cups ,sifted, enriched flour Sprinkle or crumble yeast into the ;a cup lukewarm water. Stir until dissolved. Ptit milk, the 13/a cups water, sugar, and 3 cups of the flour into a large bowl. Mix until smooth. Stir in yeast end re- maining cup of flour. Beat mail shiny and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover. Let rise in a warm piace 45 minutes or until double. Makes about 5 cups sponge. The "large bowl" should hold at least two quarts, "Lukewarm" liquid is cooler than most folks think. Test like baby's formula: Put a drop on inside of wrist. If it feels neither hot nor cold, it's right. "Warm place" for the sponge or dough may be near a radiator, in a warmed oven or set the bowl in a pan of warns water. You can use any of the three ' forms of milk. Replace the scalded milk and 134 cups lukewarm water in this way:, TJse % cup dry skim milk and 3 cups lukewarin water, or 134 cups evaporated milk and 134 cups warm water, * * * TIPS FOR BREAD AND PLAIN ROLLS 1. Knead the dough well -turn, fold, push, push; turn, f old, push, push. * ' * 2. Let rise for 1 hour, or until light. Test by pressing dough with finger. If dent remains, it is light enough to shape into loaves and rolls. * * * Before shaping the loaves, dough is punched down and divided into 3 balls, Cover and let these rest 10 minutes to recover from all this punching and dividing. * * * 4. To shape a loaf flatten ball of dough to a sheet 34 inch thick. Press firmly with palms, stretching lightly. Gives bread a fine, even grain. * * * 5. Fold dough as if folding a towel lengthwise. Press down. Stretch lengthwise into a strip. Pick up by ends, pull gently; "spank" center on the board. * * * 6. Dough is now abodt twice as long as bread pan. Now fold this strip into thirds: Bring each end to center, overlapping them a bit. Seal; square up. * * 5 7. Press down firmly with knuckles to seal. Again, press and flatten dough into a rectangle about as long as bread pan and about three times as wide. * * * 8. Fold lengthwise in thirds to form a roll. Press edges to roll with side of hand to seal. Press down 54 -inch at each end and fold under to seal ends. 0.

Add sugar, salt, shortening, and 3 cups flour. Mix thoroughly. Sprin- kle % cup more flour on a board. Turn out dough. Khnead, working in more flour only if necessary. (Test for enough flour: hold ball of dough in one hand. If top is gently rounded and just hints at wanting to flatten out, it's right.) Knead about 7 minutes, until satiny. Grease top and put into lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in warm place 1 hour or until doubled. Punch down and let rise again 1 hour, until a little more than doubled. Test for lightness as directed. Punch down and divide the dough into 2 balls for 2 large loaves, or into 3 balls for 2 smaller loaves and 1 small pan of plain rolls. Shape into loaves and rolls. Put in greased pans, cover, and let rise until light, about 45 minutes for rolls, 1 hour for bread. Bake rolls in hot oven425 degrees F., for 15 to 20 minutes. Then lower to 400 degrees F. for bread and bake 50 minutes to 1 hour. Capital Increment.

UNDAYSCIIOOI, LESSON By Rev. Dr. Barclay Warren, B. A., B. D. The Call of the Fishermen. Luke 5: 1-11. Memoiy Selection: Come ye after me, and .1 will make you to become fishers of men. Mark 1: 17. The young chap in college who flipped a coin to determine whether he would enter the ministry or study law, certainly didn't have the Divine call that the fishermen re- ceived. In last Sunday's lesson, Simon was introduced to Jesus. To- day he puts his boat into service for Jesus. Simon is a thoughtful listener as Jesus sits in the boat and teaches the people on the shore. But Simon is challenged further. When Jesus finished speaking, he said, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught." It seemed use- less for the night's work had been fruitless but Simon was quick to obey. The net broke under the strain of the multitude of fish en- closed. The two boats were filled and began to sink. Sinton was over- whelmed. His own heart was re- - vealed to him, He fell at Jesus' feet and exclaimed, "Depart front me; for I am a sinful man, 0 Lord." Jesus dispelled his fear and assured him that henceforth he would be catching men. The four fishermen left their nets and their boats to follow Jesus. The became the four leading men in the group of twelve who attended on Jesus in his min- istry. Only men who have caught sight of their own heart's need and of the greatness of Jesus Christ to meet that need are spited to proclaim the message of eternal life. But that is not all. Before a man leaves a secular occupation to give full time to the ministry he should sense the Divine imperative saying, "Conte" ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Otherwise the man will be ineffective. Helps To Cough Up Things They Swallow The little Jessies and Johnnies of pre-school age who swallow or in- hale buttons, parts of toys and about anything that can be put into the mouth present a problem to mothers and physicians. The re- moval of these foreign bodies is never easy. Sometimes there is clan- ger of death. Dr. I. Newton Kugel - mass, has discovered that the rectal administration of aminophylline will dislodge the foreign bodies where treatment with emetics and other means fail. In the Journal of the Anierican Medical Association Dr. Kugelmass gives details of six cases in which aminophylline induced infants and children to cough up objects that they had swallowed or inspired. In two cases no' foreign bodies had passed down the gullet but there was difficulty in swallowing. Amino- phyline brought relief" A pearl button that lodged in the larynx of a 5 -year-old girl brought on a croupy cough and a fever. When she received •autinophylline site brought up the button. So with the ivory tip of a pencil that lodged in the larynx of a 7 -year- old girl, and with the glass eye of a doll that had found its way into a branch of the windpipe of an- other girl Don't Mistreat That Watch Of Yours A watch is a precision instrument, a machine, And as such it needs the eegelar expert attention of a qualified jeweller for lubrication and cleaning. Watch parts spin a total of half a million tunes a day, and the balance wheel turns as fast as the wheels of a locomotive travell- ing at 60 m.p.h. Here are some tips provided by the Watchmakers of Switzerland, an association of Swiss manufac- turers with a reputation built up over the past four centuries. 1, In the first place, buy your watch from an established qualified jeweller or watchmaker. You will then know that 'when you get if your watch will be in the same condition, ready oiled, as when it left the factory. 2. Take your watch to a jeweller at least once a year for oiling, Every six months is even better. 3. Do not take your watch off your wrist or out of your pocket and lay it on a cold surface. The sudden change of temperature may damage the main spring, 4. Wind your watch regularly at the same hour each night or each morning. 5. Do not poke about inside the mechanism. If something needs doing let the expert do it. Process To Stop "Freezer Burns" A month ago I purchased two frozen chickens which had been "Home packed" at the farm where I bought them. Now I notice that they are developing "freezer burn", those dry, scaly patches familiar to housewives using home freezers, states a writer in The Christian Science Monitor. The air left in the package to be frozen is one of the enemies of successful freezing and is often difficult to eliminate when packing odd shapes such as fowl, roasts, etc, When I inquired of the men at the local freezer plant about this problem, they told me that they had wrapped some fowl successfully in *hat I would call a "mummy style" of package, with cellophane wrapped round and round the bird. They also use some sort of elabor- ate vacuum -creating device when packing for the plant and I in- ferred that this was too expensive to be practical for the average home, However, it led me to what I have found to be an ideal solution. T have brought my own tank - style vacuum cleaner into the pack- ing operation and with perfect re- sults, Now when I have a fowl to wrap, I place it in a plastic hag rade for this purpose and available at all suppliers of freezing materials. Next, I insert the rectal tip of the vacuum cleaner Inose into the neck of the bag, and turn on the machine. I0 a moment the bag is deflated tight against the bird and I -pinch off the bag and slip out the hose. The bag is twisted and doubled back to form the familiar goose Meek closing and secured with en elastic band. When I have something to pack which aright be bruised or crushed by this method I slip it into a plastic bag and close it temporarily untilit is frozen solid in the quick freezing compartment.

Even though its banks are water ins,ead of land, the gulf Stream is a river, and its live - thousand -,mile course through the two oceans is the longest in the world. From the Gulf of Mexico it flows northward near the coast of North America until it reaches the Newfoundland Banks. There it turns and sweeps eastward across the Atlantic. Between Florida and Cuba it is about fifty miles wide and has a speed of four miles an hour. Its deep blue almost purple waters are clearly defined against the light green of the `seas. Off the coast of Florida the tem- perature of the Gulf Stream is 86 degrees. Opposite Labrador, some two thousand miles north, the tem- perature has fallen only eleven de- grees, 1n fact, like an immense hot- water heating system, the Gulf Stream warms the coast of Europe and is largely responsible for the temperature climate of Britain, which, located In the same latitudes would otherwise be as cold as Lab- rador. Scientists' explanation for this strange seagoing river stili leaves much unanswered, They say that the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, driven westward by the trade winds, pile up in the 1,500 -mile cir- cular basin of the Gulf of Mexico. Having no other way to get out, they' sweep northward between 'Florida and Cuba as the Gulf STreanl. Yet the baffling thing is how this Amazing stream manages to keep its identity, its peculiar colour and temperature while flowing thous- ands of miles through the ocean against the forces of counter cur- rents which even cross its course. Through heat and cold at.d rain, through all seasons year by year its wjters never slacken and its heat never fails, It raises the tempera- ture of Great Britain by 12 degrees. It covers the shores of Scotland with evergre'n leaves, melts the icebergs that have broken from their parent glaciers in the far north and are drifting southward and carries firewood from the burn- ing Gulf of Mexico to the extreme north of Norway. Doliolids It also carries young sea nettles from the Gulf (they look like pack- ed acorns) to the hungry whale that awaits them r n its northern limit. One section of the stream, ming- ling with the cold waters of the Newfoundland coast, causes the dense hanks of fog that are always a menace in that area. Besides simplifying weather fore- casting, more knowledge about the Gulf Stream's behaviour may matte it possible to tell in advance what kind of fish will be available from reason to season. Before 1927 cod were practically unknown in the North Atlantic, Then the Gulf S.ream began to drift farther north and cod began to appear in ever-increasing num- bers. The north Atlantic is now one of the principal fishing grounds for the fish. Disastrous Catches A Icw years ago there was an cx- ceptiontlly strong flow round the British coast. It brought mild weather with it, hilt instead of in- creasing catches of fish it cut thein down by half, The current brought with it mil. lions of small jellytish known as Doliolids, which the ordinary tish dislikes intensely. The herring and other Nor,h Sea fish- fled north- wards towards the Arctic, and fishermen had a season of disas- trous catches. The persi.,tence and steadiness of the Gulf Stream has often been illustrated. In a 19011 hurricane the coffin of an actor named Charles Coghland was swept off a'ship near Galveston, Texas, drifted iMo the Gulf Stream and finished up 2,000 miles away. Use Molten Metal For Cooling Turning atomic energy into pow- er needs a plant known as a re- actor. The "fuel' is plutonium, product of the atomic piles. The heat released is so great that in America's latest reactor molten metal is used for cooling. The name given to this plant is "Clemen- tine," and the reason for this chris- tening was made public recently. One of the scientists who had helped to design the reactor left before it started working. His in- terest in the result was naturally keen but the securit • ban on infor- mation prevented hint finding out anything. So he sent his former colleagues this telegratn:- "ln a cavern, in a cayman. ex- trapolating must be fine. Since you're the miners, forty-niners, tell me how is Clementine." As 49 is the code number for plutonium, the worker; still at the reactor station were able' to tran- slate his request. Ever since the re- actor has been known as Ciente». tine, False Alarm. In Indianapolis, po- lice rushed to the freight yards to look for a dismembered body in a boxcar, found Howard Finley rest- ing beside his wooden leg.
