Morgan How fortunate we are in Ontario that our currant bushes bore fruit be- fore they were entirely blighted by the now famous heat wave and the drought. Perhaps there might have been more fruit on the bushes if the rain had been heavier but really the yield has been pretty fair and we are lucky to be able to have currant jelly and jam for our fruit cupboard when later fruits may be scarce and more expensive unless great rains come Boon. Currant jams and jellies are so easy to make by the bottled fruit pectin method that even this weather won't keep us from it, for we know it would be a :great loss to our home -making for the rest of the year if we didn't have currant jelly or jam for our cold meat plates, for our creamy desserts, Matrons Will Like This Slenderizing Ensemble 1870-8 Women whose figures run to width will join their slimmer sis- ters in choosing this gay and slenderizing ensemble. The smart finger tip jacket and the high ris- ing lines of the skirt make the Wearer seem taller and more 'Lender, particularly if the model is cut on vertical lines as illus- trated. The original is made of the new platinum gray sheer print with a contrasting scalloped col- lar and jabot, so flattering to the ace. A row of tiny buttons trim the jabot at the front and render i5 daintiness much to be desired. You're really looking ahead in Snaking this lovely frock, for you fan wear it with the jacket now, find without later on. Barbara Bell Pattern 1870-B is vailable in sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 2, 44 and 46. Size 36 requires yards of 39 -inch materia] plus 7-8 yard contrasting.

Did you ever wonder what makes the dressing for those handsome Blackstone salads so different and so good? It is red currant jelly whipped into the creamy mayonnaise that gives it the lovely coral color and the un- ique flavour, and you do not need to use It only for Blackstone salads but for any fruit salad. Bottled fruit pectin is indeed a blessing to housewives this year when fruit is scarcer on account of the heat wave. Fruit goes further be- cause of the shorter boiling time and keeps the flavour better, so do not miss making use of the currants while you can still get them. BLACK OR RED CURRANT JELLY 5 cups (21/2 lbs) juice; 7 cups (3 lbs.) sugar; 1/2 bottle fruit pectin. With black currants crush about 3 pounds fully ripe fruit, add 3 cups of water. With red currants, crush about 4 pounds fully ripe fruit; add one cup water. To prepare juice, bring mix- ture to a boil, rover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Meas- ure sugar and juice into large sauce- pan and mix. Bring to a boil over the thottest fire and at once add fruit pectin, stirring constantly. Then you bring it to a rolling boil and boil it hard for half a minute. Remove from fire, skim and pour quickly. Paraffin and cover at once. Makes about 11 glasses six fluid ounces each. THIS WEEK'S WINNER A good substantial salad which makes a one meal dish.

Large Silk Farm Visited By Queen LONDON—Lady Hart Dyke, of Lllingstone Castle, Kent, who re- cently entertained Queen Mary and showed Her Majesty the silk farm established at Lullingstone, hopes to have 1,000,000 silkworms available this season and to produce from a half to three-quarters of a ton of silk. The queen was interested in the various processes of the industry sarted by Lady Dyke, and finished fabrics into which the silk had been woven were inspected. Only disabled ex -servicemen are employed on the farm. Dust Baths Poultry that have free access to suitable dust baths, that are made up in part with tobacco dust or sodium fluosilicate, can hold lice in check if the infestation is not too heavy. The bird is limited in its ability to spread the dust to all the areas where the lice are established, hence self dusting is a dust bath can be but partly effective. Very fine dry road dust makes a very good medi- um, with which to mix tobacco dust or sodium fluosilicate. The propor- tions are three of dry road dust to one of either of those mentioned. • Cast in a Gay Party Fun took the director's 'stool as these film folk gathered at estate of Victor McLaglen at Glen- dale, Cal., for party in honor of Binnie Dames.

GOLDEN TEXT—Re not deceiv- ed; God is not mocked: for whatso- ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7. Devotional Reading: Galatians 5: 16-24. Beginner Topic: Jesus' Friend Tells Us to Help. Lesson Material: Galatians 6, 2-5, 9, 10. Memory Verse: Love one another. John 15: 12b. • 1. "Brethren,- even if a .man be overtaken in any trespass." ,r That is, if he be detecte.d„in the 'h,�respass which he has - committeed, beratis; b- ean escape. If a man's sin is never discovered, then the problem of, the relationship between himself and others never arise';. "Ye who are spiritual." That is, those who nve by the Holy Spirit, who walk in. the Holy Spirit, such as Paul wasre- ferring to in the immediately pre- ceding passage (5: 25). "Restore such a one." The verb here trans- lated "restore" often means to -re- set," or, "repair what is injured" (Matt. 5: 21; Mark 1: 19).. "In a spirit of gentleness." "The restora- tion of a fallen brother is not to be undertaken in a distant or haugnty spirit, or in a hard, dictatorial, or censorious style, which dwells bit- terly on the sin, or brings its ag- gravations into undue relief, "Look- ing to thyself, lest thou also be tempted." "It is a noticeable thing that men normally weak in any given direction are apt to be the severest judges of those who err in the same respect, just as people wno• have risen out of poverty are erten the harshest towards the poor." "Bear ye one another's burdens." The word here translated "burden" "donates any weight which presses heavily on the body or the mind, as toil, suffering, responsibility, anxie- ty." 3. "For if a man thinketh , him- self to be something when he is no- thing, he deceiveth himself." {'If a man thinks himself so perfect that he can have no burden which others may carry with him or for him; if he regards himself so far above sin, frailty or sorrow, that he neither needs nor expects sympathy or help —he will not readily stoop to bear the burdens of others." 4. "But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard to himself alone, and not of his neighbor." For the proving of one's work, see, e.g., Paul's classic consideration of this subject in I Cor. 3: 10-15. "For each pian shall bear his own burden." The word here translated "burden" if a different one from the one similarly translated in verse 2. The one in verse 2 "points to a load of which a man may fairly rid himself when occasion serves," and is .sometimes used with reference to the load carried in a boat; the word used in verse 5, however, seems to point to a load which a man "is expected to bear." "But let him that is taught in the word." That is, the pupil in the catechetical class, the hearer, the church member, the one who re- ceives instruction in the Word of God from -the minister. "Communi- cate unto him that teacheth in all good things." The word here trans- lated "communicate" means "to "share in common with others" (Tim. 5: 22; I Pet, 4: 13; Heb. 2: 14; 2 John 11). "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow- eth, that shall he also reap." As long as the law of this verse—that whatever a man sows he will reap— is allowed to apply to nature, to sowing seed in the ground, every living person will admit its sover- eignty and truthfulness, and rejoice in it; but when this law is lifted up into moral and spiritual realms, then men are often deceived into believ- ing that, no matter what kind of seed is sown, the consequences will not be so bad after all; or that they can sow one kind of seed and reap another. 8. "For he that soweth unto his own flesh." By the word "flesh" Paul here means "that for the gra- tification of which the seed is sown," or "that which forms the ruling end of the man's desires and actions, which conforms and molds the work and the aspirations of his present 3 W .F. FU MANCHU By Sax Rohmer life." "Shall of the flesh reap' cor- ruption." "The field of the flesh yields not full and solid ears of corn, which niay be gathered up and garnered for future use, but only blighted and putrescent grain." "But he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eter- nal life." We must not confine our thought of this verse to the dark side. Too often the beautiful pro- mise of the last half of the verse is forgotten. The one who sows un- to the Spirit is the Christian who "walks not after the flesh, but af- ter the Spirit." (Rom. 8:4'; for the mind of the flesh is dead; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6). "And let us not be weary in well - doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Every man and woman attempting to live a straightforward Christian life knows what it is to grow weary in doing what he knows is right. It is a con- stant battle. 'So then, as we have oppor- tunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the house- hold of the faith." In this verse the teaching of the entire preceding passage seems to be summed up. The church of Christ on earth is frequently designated as the house or family of God (1 Tim. 3: 15; 1 Peter 2: 5; Heb. 3: 6; Eph. 2: 19). Social Topics Things aren't always what they seem, Skins milk often sells for cream Men on Sunday kneel in prayer. Then on Monday lie and swear! Women, who upon the street. Smile at every one they meet, Let their hearts turn cold as stone Just as soon as they are home! Boys who wouldn't soil their hands, In the country, tilling Iands, Sit and fish from morn till night, Then conte home most awful tight. Girls who look so dreadful nice.

Housewives Are Beginning to Buy Furniture Again. NEW YORK — indications that; housewives throughout the United] States are beginning to spruce up/ their homes after a long siege of penny-pinching have brought many hundreds of buyers to house fur- nishing marts intent upon stocking- up merchandise for the fall and; Winter. Scenting a free flow of dollars' from the consumers' pockets in re-' cent improvement in demand for, autombiles, electrical appliances and: refrigerators, dealers in furniture,' lamps and other household goods are preparing for a broade:.ing of the buying movement. Cheerful for the most part as' they compared notes and trade' trends, buyers bustled from show to show examining offerings and found: an upward tendency in prices, not- ably furniture. T. R. Murtaugh, general mana- ger of the York Furniture Exchange,' Art of Kissing Lost to Movies HOLLYWOOD—Kissing is becom-' ing a lost art in the movies. Nowadays, even the longest and most lyrical cinema love story has an irreducible ,minimum of kisses in the total footage, seldom more than four, usually Less. This contrasts sharply with the adolescent age of Hollywood when a picture that came along with fewer than 15 epidermal collisions was considered practical-' ly a travelogue. Eating Habits Are Very Important Candy Should Only Be Given Children Immediately After a Meal . Formation of proper eating habits should rank high in the education of children, according to the pro- vincial health department, which has issued literature dealing with this subject. In the case of normal, healthy children, plain foods such as pox ridge, eggs, plain custards, fresh, vegetables, meat juices, fresh fruits,' bread and butter and milk, are re- commended. No pastries or sweets should be given. If candy is given at all it should be given immediate- ly after a meal and at no other: time. Plenty of milk and water should be given the child and tea and coffee, fee should not • be given at all, Where the child's appetite - is not good liquids should be given after! rather than before the solids. They foundation of good eating habits is regularity, and there should be nol "snacks" between meals. If the child cries or becomes stubborn and refuses to eat no at- tention should be paid. If he per- sists, take the child away from the table. It will do him no harm to miss a meal, and it is important that he learn to. eat what is put: be- fore him without a fuss. A child' should never be given food when' emotionally upset. The young child; should learn that a meal i ; a quiet, business -like affair. The most important point in es- tablishing proper eating habits in children is that they should not be. pampered about their food. A chile should learn to expect nothing be- tween meals, to come when called at regular hours, to wash himself', and to eat the foods placed before' him without fuss. And he should learn these things early, says the, department of health. 013:1 e' sex aohnwr end The Doll Sy,dfento, Ina v.
