Zurich Herald, 1936-01-23, Page 2Oman's World By Mair M. Morgan A NEW FISH DISH If there's one thing the average housewife will give three cheers for, It's a new recipe for cooking fish— especially if some member of the family has to be coaxed to eat fish. Here is a choice European fish recipe with a modern touch. Casserole of Fish i/, pound (1 cup) mushrooms, washed and sliced 1-3 cup diced celery 1 medium onion finely chopped 4 tablespoons butter 8 tablespoons quick -cooking tapioca 11/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons sugar 2 cups flaked cooked haddock or cod 8 cups canned tomatoes to 10 unbaked baking powder biscuits, rolled 1/2 inch thick Saute mushrooms, celery, and onion in butter until tender. Com- bine 'with remaining ingredients in order given. Turn into greased cas- serole and bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) 25 minutes, stirring mix- ture twice during first 10 minutes of baking. Place biscuits on top of fish mixture after it has baked 10 minutes; return to oven, and bake 12 to 15 minutes longer, or until biscuits are browned. Serves 8. A GOOD RESOLUTION One of the reasons why good re- solutions are so frequently broken is that they are not adopted on practical subjects—or do not make the same allowance for human nature that an engineer makes as his "margin of safety" in building a bridge. Take the average cook, housewife, or home maker, for ex- ample. Every time she finds she has "just run out of" something when she is right in the middle of some dish that cannot be stopped at that point without ruining it, she makes a resolution to keep stocked up on that item hereafter. Does she? That's the right answer! One good way to stop "running out of" things this year, Is to form the "pad and pencil habit" in your kitchen, Buy a small packet of pads and have a couple of short lead pencils handy. Keep these in the kitchen, and warn the family it's a shooting offence for any one except you to use them or remove them. Then, when you find your supply of any item on your cupboard or pantry shelves is running low, write it down on the pad and keep it in plain sight until next market time. Write your shopping list below it, and you simply cannot overlook it. Economy almost demands that you buy your canned goods in quan- tities—they do not lose food value on your shelves, and by watching the market prices you can buy at times and rates that also keep the canned goods from losing money value. Furthermore, a good assort- ment tends to give more variety to your daily menus, and also prepares you to meet the emergencies of ex- tra guests or lack of time, with ease and comfort of mind and soul. It is a good idea to keep a little "stock list" hanging on a hook or fastened with a thumb tack handy to your stock of canned goods and mark off each item as you take it sat of stock. It's a handy record in many ways. •t5o as a New Year Resolution — "I am going to keep the pantry iahelf well stocked!" Recommendations 1.

Shortenings -- Butter, lards, salad oil and your pet kind of sub- stitute, With the electric refrigertor be- coming ever and ever more popu- lar, it is now possible to have fresh, crisp salad greens on hand the year 'round. They are a great asset for the salad or sandwich that must be made in a hurry. And a recipe or two may also be helpful when that unexpeccted guest pops in. Kidney Bean Salad Eight hard cooked eggs, 2 cups kidney beans, 4 sweet pickles, 1 tea- spoon chopped onion, 1/cup celery, salad dessing to moisten. Method: Cut eggs in half cross- wise, chop up 4 of them. "Devil" the remaining ones -- take out the yolks and season with salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard; refill the whit- es and flute the edges. Toss togeth- er all the other ingredients includ- ing the chopped eggs. Arrange in mounds on crisp lettuce and place a "devilled" egg in the centre of each of the 4 salads. Sprinkle the yolk with paprika. Last -Minute Sandwiches Mix contents of one can Devilled Ham with an equal amount of chop- ped sweet pickle. Season with a little prepared mustard. Use for closed or open-faced sandwiches. Broiled crabmeat Sandwiches One can crabmeat, F cup celery, finely chopped, 1 pimiento, chopped, 1/2 cup chopped nut meats, salt, pepper, parsley, bread, bacon slices. Method: Make a salad of flaked crabnieat, celery, pimiento, nut meats, seasonings and salad dress- ings. Spread between slices of white or cracked wheat bread. Lay strips of bacon over the top and put under a broiler, cooking the bacon on both sides. Tomato Rarebit Two tablespoons butter, 1 table- spoon flour, 1 can tomato soup, 6 stuffed olives, chopped, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 2 cup grated cheese. Method: Melt butter, blend bour, add tomato soup and cook ,until thickened. Add olives, onion and cheese and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Serve on toast. CHILDREN AS COOKS Can your son and daughter cook? They'd get lots of fun out of pre- paring and serving simple meals even before they've reached their teens. Sunday night supper is a tine oc- casion to start with. And there's a menu thats appetizing and within a beginner's ability to prepare: Spaghetti with mushrooms, pine- apple marshmallow charlotte, milk, tea. Mane the dessert Saturday morn- ing. Here is the recipe: Pineapple Marshmallow Charlotte One-half cup whipping cream, 1/2 3 FU MANCHU Winter Sports eezns To Have one To The Heads Of The Chorus ;,AS, . _ tea•'\,,:�•�. :..• .Etas. tiU The camera caught these chorus girls off bila nce as they enjoyed themselves between perform- ances in the snow on the roof of the Radio City Mu sic Hall, New York City. cup cut marshmallows, 11/2 table- spoons granulated gelatine, 1/2 cup cold water, 1 cup crushed pineapple, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 dozen lady fingers.

Spaghetti and Mushrooms To make the spaghetti with mush- rooms you will need one 8 -ounce package of spaghetti, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 pound round steak ground, 1 medium sized onion, 2 pound mushrooms, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 11/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 cup grated cheese. Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water for twenty-five minutes, breaking it in pieces or cooking it whole as you prefer. Drain and 'put on a heat -proof platter.

Add 12 cup boiling water and mushrooms which have been cleaned and cut in thin slices. Cook twenty minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Mother Within the deep recesses of my heart, 'There blooms a little garden, rare and sweet, And in that sanctuary set apart I tend a lilied shrine—an office meet For one who gave me life andfaith and love, And when I thither go, as oft I do, To tell my rosary of thanks to you, I feel your smile upon me froth above For death -enduring agonies of birth, For patient understanding through the years, For virtue, honour, fortitude from fears, I am a debtor, I, of little worth. But on that altar, builded just for you, The flowers are always fresh with heaven's dew. By Sax Rohmer "What shall we dol" 'Wait. We must try to rush the stairs.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME.—The ministry of John the Baptist has been thought to have been confined, or the most part, to the summer of A.D. 26, while the baptism and temptation of Jesus oc- curred in January or February, A.D. 27. PLACE. — The ministry of Jchn the Baptist, for the most part, was in the wilderness of Judea. The bap- tism of Jesus took place probably not far from the City of Jericho on the Jordan River. It was near this part of Palestine that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. "Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and pray- ing, the heaven was opened." The question will naturally arise as to why Jesus allowed himself to be bap- tized, and his own reason, thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteous- ness. (Matt. 3:15), is. the only satis- fying explanation. "And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily -form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." The descent of the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, is veiled wtih mystery, yet with beauty. "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit" Here Luke shows you God's Man, his adult Man, thirty years of age, his mature Man, anointed of the Spirit for Messianic work, but in the perfection of his 'humanity, going into the wilderness, full of the Holy Spirit. "Returned from the Jordan, and was Ied in the Spirit in the wilderness," The waste and des- ert places of the earth are, ` so to speak, the characters which sin has visibly employed on the outward crea- tion; the echoes in the outward world of the desolation and wasseness Which. sin has wrought in the inner life of men. "During forty days." Forty is the signature of penalty, of affliction, of the confession or the punishment of sin. "Being tempted of the devil." It is assumed everywhere in the Scriptures that Satan is a real per- son. Here we have the story of hell's attempt tp thwart heaven's purpose. This is not so much Satan attacking the person of our Lord as attacking the purpose of God Almighty as it was to be realized by our Lord. He was the Anointed One of ,high heaven, confronting the whole empire of evil and of darkness in the person of its over -lord, Satan, "And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered," A fast of forty days, while a test of the greatest severity, has been experienc- ed by a few men in modern times, es- pecially by Dr„ Henry S. Tanner, in New York City, in the :summer of 1880, under the supervision of an ac- credited college, and without any op- portunity for deception appearing in this case. No evil results were ex- perienced by Dr. Tanner as a conse- quence of this extreme ordeal. He died in 1919, at the age of eighty- seven. "nd tl Ase devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God." This is doubtless an allusion to the divine voice in his immediately preceding baptism (Luke 3:22). "Command this stone that it become bread." If Jesus could be persuaded to minister to his physical need by the super- natural power which he possessed, and thereby place himself outside of the will of God, he would be making a personal choice against the choice of God and thereby coanmitting a pro- found sin. "And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone." Note the weapon which Jesus uses in defeating Satan is not one forged by his own genuity, nor the result of philosophical argument, but simply the Word of God, which Is the sword of the Spirit (Eph, 6:17). "And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time." It has often been remarked that Christ himself un- doubtedly saw more of the kingdoms of the world at this moment than even Satan saw, as he offered them to the Saviour. "And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whom so - ever I will I give it." Satan intimates that the enormous influence which he possesses over human affairs may have been obtained for the promotion of the 14lessianic Kingdom and that all bodily shame and suffering which otherwise lay before the Saviour of the world might be evaded. "If thou therefore wilt worship be- fore mo, it shall all be thine." Notice the awful price the Lord would have to pay for unlawfully poi lessing the kingdoms of the world, nothing less than the worship of the devil. "And .Jesus 'answered and said un- to him, It is written, Thou shalt wor- ship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." Again the Lord quotes from the book of Deuteronomy (6:13), Observe at once that here are two thing' about which the devil had said nothing. He had said noth- ing about God and he had said noth_ ing about serving. "And Jese answering Edict ant him, It is said, Thou shalt not make" Wel ok the Lord thy God" Otte° again the Lord Jesus .overcame thIN temptation by the use of the Weed of God, and, for elle third time, quoteN, from the book of Deuteronpni 16). "And when the devil had complete. ed every temptation, he departed from him for a season," he Lord Jesus was gloriously, in every point, victorious over Satan in this and all his other temptations, bot Christ' and the apostles later declare.

It is part of a campaign to oval,, come the Reich's raw material shorty age. Beauty of a Leg Depends on Stocking* LONDON. --- The beauty of a Ieg depends much on the shade. of the.( stocking in which it is displayed, act; cording to British theatrical product er Charles B.
