Morgan THE JUNIOR MISS The junior Miss whose daily life necessitates the malting of a lunch to carry to school may appreciate a few` suggestions for economical but tasty sandwich spreads. Sandwiches become tiresome when you have to eat them day In and day out and it is difficult to think up a new filling continuous. ly. Here are a few which are very po- pular. Meat: 1. Minced ham with salad dressing, 2. Dried beef with thinly sliced cu - slumber. 3. Ham and nuts put through a food chopper and mixed with salad dress- ing 4. Broiled bacon with lettuce. 5. Cold tongue with cucumbers. Fish: 1. Salmon, shredded, mixed with sa- lad dressing and olives and covered with crisp lettuce. 2. Salmon and finely chopped eel - cry. 3. Sardines with lemon juice and lettuce. Egg: 1. Scrambled egg mixed with bacon and lettuce. 2. Hard cooked egg. mashed with a fork. Add salt, pepper, a Iittle mus- tard (dry) and butter. Mix to a paste and spread on bread. Cheese: 1. Creamed cheese with nuts, olives chopped ham and sweet green pep- pers. 2. Cottage cheese with onions and pimentos. 3. Cottage cheese, chopped parsley, olives, sour pickle and salad dress- ,. ing. Fruit: 1. Ripe bananas made into a paste and mixed with nuts, add a little hon- ey and spread. 2. Dates. Mix dates with a little sweet fruit juice and spread on whole wheat bread. A few chopped nuts ad- ded to this mixture gives it a delicious flavour. 3. Prune. % cup prunes, pitted and mashed. 1 tablespoon of chopped nut meats; 4 tablespoons cottage cheese; 2 tablespoons salad dressing. Mix together- and spread. TEA CAKES Everyone likes cakes and tea breads enriched with fruit, but the economi- cal housewife often hesitates to make these delicacies because they dry out quickly unless eaten soon after bak- ing. Even the next day the fruits are likely to be dried into bullet -like lumps. Thus the taste of the whole cake is ruined. Lately I have made some exciting discoveries about this. Certain Eng- Iish bakers, I was told, have long used glycerine in various kinds of cakes— especially their luscious fruit loaves —to keep them moist and palatable to the last bite. I tried it myself in some of my fa- vorite fruit bread and cake recipes, with real success. Not only did the cakes remain fresh many days longer but the fruit was brighter, juicier, had a more appetizing appearance. All I did was rub the fruit with gly- cerine, allowing it to stand for half an hour; then I made the cake as usual. just a quarter teaspoonful of glycerine was enough for a standard small family recipe. The wholesome liquid acts like magic in keeping the fresh things fresh. I know you will want to try this yourself, so here is'a fruit tea bread recipe to experiment on. I'm sure you will be as pleased as i was. HONEY FRUIT TEA BREAD 4 cup honey; % cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons shortening; 1 teaspoon shortening; 1 teaspoon salt; Ye cup pitted dates, sliced; l/ cup dried ap- ricots, chopped; A. teaspoon glycer- ine; 1 cup milk; 1 tablespoon lemon FU MANCHU juice; 1 egg; 2e, cups flour; 3t tea spoon soda; 4 teaspoons baking pow der; 1.3 enp wheat bran flour, Rub fruit with glycerine and allow to stand at least .one half an hour. Mix honey, sugar, shortening, halt, fruit and milk. Meat slowly only until sugar is dissolved and shortening is melted. Cool to room temperature. Add lemon juice and beaten egg.

AN OLD HEN A boiling fowl may be cooked this way to resemble a young roast chicken, and it is not iP'sipid as boil- ed fowl usually is. The fowl may be stuffed with any food forcemeat or left plain. Butter the fowl all over and put it in a roasting tin with an extra lump of butter. Put it in a hot oven and cook for about half an hour or until it is nicely browned. Put it in a casserole on a bed of sliced carrots, onions, and cut celery add a f;ew peppercorns and a bunch of parsley. Put the butter over it and put in a nice slice of ham over the bird. Add a cupful of stock or water, put the lid on the casse- role, and cook slowly for about an hour and a half or until the fowl is tender. Put the bird on a hot dish. Strain the liquid, remove the fat, and thicken with flour. Serve with the ham, small sausages, bread sauce and the gravy. WEEKLY CASH PRIZES Winter meals, with their roasts, stews, puddings and pies are due for a change now that Spring is here. The wise housewife will want to devote less time in her kitchen, con- sequently she will refer to her files for one of those combination -main - course dishes. Every home -maker has at least one dish that she has concocted out of this and that, which has surprised the fancily by its de- licious flavor. Such a dish is lima beans, combin- ed with left -over meat, fish, vege- tables, or cheese, seasoned with onions, celery or green peppers. Haveyou another variation of this dish or another combination which is equally economical? Here is an opportunity for the thrifty housewife. Each week we are offering a cash prize for the most economical, tasty main -course dish. Recipes calling for detailed ingredi- ents and involved method of pre- paration will not be considered. One dollar will be paid for each recipe selected for publication. HOW TO ENTER CONTEST Plainly write or print out the in- gredients and method of your favor- ite main -course dish and send it to- gether with name and address to Household Science, Room 421, 73 West Adelaide Street, Toronto. Use to Cross Writes the Niagara Falls Review: "The number of divorces granted in Canada shows an increase, according to the latest figures; but, before fall - into fits of horror, it should be re- membered that, prior to establish- ment of the provincial courts, and lower costs, many Canadians went across the line and got "legal" separations elsewhere. Many of those divorces were not legal and, if divorces must be given, it is better, particularly for any children con- cerned, that their status may be as- sured. ' 3 W.F. 'enders for ween.

Sleeping Habits Under Scrutiny When a Sleeper Wakes; His Behavior Is . Observed and Reported to Psychologists. The American Physiological 'So- ciety learned something about sleep. Sleeping normally, "watched" by half a dozen automatic recording in- struments, is a complicated business. In the Chicago laboratory the bed- springs are connected with a system of weights and pulleys. As the sleeper rolls over or stretcnes or throws an arm this way- and that the mechanism causes a stylus to write. The result is a graph which is .as easy to read as straight tyke —H at least to the Chicago physiologists:, There are systematic ways of dis- turbing a sleeper and noting what happens. Deep in the stilly night, say at 2 a.m., the experimenter him- self is aroused by an alarm clock— a signal to begin' his work. He waits until 2.15 for a pronounced motion by the sleeper in another room—an pounced by the flashing of a light— and then gradually turns on a loud- speaker. The sleeper pushes a buz- zer to say that he is awake. There- upon the experimenter makes a note of the loudness of the sound tnat did the awakening and the time •that elapsed ,between the motion of the sleeper and the response. Time of Soundest Sleep It turns out from all' this that. You do your soundest sleeping ir;11e4' first one or two . hones ` after going to bed, which is pretty well known by this time. Change your position and you are easily awakened soon after falling asleep, but not so easily ten or fifteen minutes later. In fact, it seems preferable to correlate depth of sleep with changes of position rather than with the time of night the old practice. The time actually spent in moving is small—about half a minute out of an hour. Research conducted in the Univer- sity of Chicago in past years has shown that a cup of coffee taken be- fore going to bed will bring about sleep with fewer changes of position than usual. This aright to be good news to those who think that even :a demi-tasse will keep then awake. On the other hand, several cups are bound to result in restlessness. Al- cohol produces sound sleep in early hours, but the end is more movement later. Lastly, there is the curious fact that the temperature declines about 1 degree during the first hours of sleep and rises 1 degree in the last hours. Evidently the body begins to work after a while, and work al- ways means the expenditure of energy and hence the generation of heat. But there is no definite con- nection between temperature changes and restlessness. In some sleepers temperature varies with the season, and :nobility changes corresponding- ly. After a long period of wakeful- ness (sixty hours) the body tries to By Sax ROhmer n ,•.m , P.,...11. t. , X. v ,.2t- .,,, st- ,.- $ yip:. �.a� . , AA lit: � 101. catch up, as it were. The sweeping period is extended from eight or nine hours to eleven or thirteen. More- over, there is less stirring. The next step in the investigation is to discover the effect of food and thus to settle the question of just what happens when we eat a Welsh rarebit after the theatre.

LESSON IV. -- April 26 ..IESUS LOONS AT WEALTH ANI) POVERTY. — Luke 16. Luke 16: 19.31. GOLDEN TEXT — The rich and the poor meet together: The Lord is the maker of them all, -- Pro. verbs 22:2. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME January, .A.D. 30, PLACE •---- Peraea.. "Now there was a certain rich man." The word rich in the Latin version is dives, and many assign the name Dives to this rich man. "And he was clothed in purple and fine linen."' Pliny says that the par- ticular linen here referred to was ex- changed for its weight in gold. "Far- ing sumptuously every day." It has been suggested that sumptuously might aptly be changed to flamboy- antly; •No dark vice is here referred to; yet selfishness and extravagance are certainly to be understood, "And a certain beggar named Lazarus." The word Lazarus means, whom God helps, and was a very cominon one among the Jews of Christ's time. "Was laid at his gate." The reference here • is to a large gateway or portico of the rich than's palace. "Full of sores." The verb, among medical writers, had reference principally to ulcers. "And desiring to be fed -with the crumbs that fell from the ,rich man't table." It is not said that the rich man made provision for Lazarus or that he even knew that Lazarus was being fed from what was left from his sumptuous meals. "Yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores." It is not to be understood as• an aIle- viation, but as an aggravation of his ills, that he was left to the dogs, which, in Scripture, are always re- presented as unclean animals. "And it came to pass, that the beg- gar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom." To repose on Abraham's bosom is to be in Paradise for Ab- raham is there. "And the rich man also died, and was buried." Nothing is said about any burial of Lazarus; it has been thought by some that he was simply thrown into a ditch. "And in Hades." Hades is simply the unseen world, the place of de- parted spirits between death and resurrection, and is equivalent to the Old• Testament word Sheol, so often translated grave (in the New Testa- ment it occurs in Matt. 11:23; 16: 18; Luke 10:15; Acts 2:27; Rev. 1:. 18: 6:8; 20:13, 14). "He lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Laz- arus in his boosom." Here our Lord would teach tris that the soul is con- scious after death; that the unsaved, after death, consciously suffer; and that the wicked dead are aware of the condition of the blessed dead. "And he cried and said, Father Abraham." It is strange to note that this prayer is not made to God. The great evangelist, Charles G. N'rnney, says •that the rich man knew and he most deeply felt that he had cast off God and God, in turn, has cast off him. He could not think of speak- ing to God. "Have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water." The ex- pression denotes water falling, drop by drop, from the finger which has been immersed in it. "And cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame." We need to remember that it was a disembodied spirit who was speaking, so that the flame of very necessity could not be any more lib- eral than the physical terms which he uses when he speaks of finger and tongue. "But Abraham saiccii,1.on, remem- ber that thou in thy lifetime receiv- edst thy good things. The whole tone of Abraham's reply is certainly gen- tle, though firm. "And Lazarus in like manner evil things." That is, poverty, friendlessness, suffering, ne- glect. "But now here he is comfort- ed, and thou art in anguish." He has sown only to the flesh, acro, there- fore, when the order of things has "You forget about my collie," in--J=--J.4, I) 11.1_144, terrupted Vernon Denby excitedly, --ee as he left his window -seat and joined the group.

"And besides all this, between us, and you thele is a great gulf Axed, that they Would pass :rocs hence to yon inay not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to as." The great teaching of this t sillole verse is that there is absobefftr no hope for the lost in the next li&+ ever being brought out of hell into hea- ven. "And ho said, I pray thee there-, fore, ere - fore, father, that thou wouidest .send. him to my father's house." "Por F have five brethren; that tleey lay testify unto them, lest they also! come into this place of tortne?nt.": The argument which Abraham 'gives the rich man knows is unanswei able, and he now makes an altogether dif-' fer'ent request, namely, that he should send Lazarus to his five brethren, still living on earth,, that' be might tell thein of their brother's: anguish, and, from this, that they might not so live that they aslc would come to the same terrible end. "But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them." How many homes are' like this home of the rich man, where the Bible is known and probably be- lieved, but never followed in its teachings, where wealth and self- indulgence have made the Word of God of none 'effect! "And he said, Nay, father Abra- ham: but if one to go to them from the dead, they will repent. "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead." No miracle would convince one who closes his heart against the voice of conscience, which is the pleading of the Holy Spirit. Wornen Grab Men's. enus Styles Many Similarities. — \\Tear Tailored Suit With Padded Shoulders. It looks as though most of us have decided that i1` we cant be inen, we are going to dress as much like them as we can, and still retain. our wiles. For, boy friends, a gentlenian'e place is in Women's fashions this season. I hope you won't mind if we go on vory frankly stealing your stuff, because there are no clothes quite so flatter.' ing to the feminine figure as tailored, mannish ones. Take the classic tailored suit, for instance.. It has padded shoulders that go to make waists very small. It but- tons snugly which gives a good line. It nips the waist and -slims the hips, and what more could any one fashion ask? I ani fussy about tailored suits. I think they should have all the gond- ness that men's clothes poseas. I con- fess that I was surprised to find as many excellent ones around town as I did. If you can have one custom- made by all means do so, but if you • can't don't grieve, for I repeat that many I saw were excellent. And I un- derstand that these have all been made by former men's tailors who - corteinly know their business. My favorite bats are those in light- weight felt like a man's, creased ]lice a man's sized like a man's but in co- lors that no mere mole would ever Clare to wear. They are perfect to wear with tailored suits and coats. The gayer your _color, the smarter you will look. Another steal from the strong sex; Ply fronts are the fashion on skirts and coats nun dresses. It looks very new curet smart.
