LEMONS FOR SPRING Lemons are ideal :for toning up the •system and fortunately they aro plea- tiful and cheap at this season Of the yeas'. Here are three interesting re- cipes: Lemon Meringue Put the grated rind. and the strain- ed juice of 2 lemons into a sauce- pan with a dessertspoon of sugar and 1 pint water. Bring to the boil. Mix 5 tablespoonfuls cornstarch to a cream with cold milk and pour the boiling lemon water on to it. Stir well, put back into the saucepan and cook gently for 10 minutes. Leave to get a little cool, then stir in the beaten yolks of 2 eggs. Cook for a fele minutes, then 'turn into a pie dish, previously rinsed out with cold water. Beat the whites of the - eggs to a stiff froth with 2 tablespoons sugar, add a few drops vanilla, heap the mix- ture on top of the pudding and bake In a slow oven till delicately brown. It can be eaten hot or cold. J seeded and chopped raisins, 1/2 Pound stoned and Chopped dates, 3 cups vine- gar, 2 lbs. light brown sugar, 1 table- spoon chili peppers, .11/2 tablespoons salt, 1, teaspoon ginger, 1/ cup chop- ped English walnut meats. Combine raisins and dates and let stand in vinegar for one hour. Skin rhubarb and cut In half-inch 'pieces. Add to first mixture with all the re- maining. ingredients except the nuts. Cook slowly, strring for two hours. Add nuts and cook ten minutes longer. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with paraffin. Give all jellies and jams two coats of paraffin—one as soon as the jelly stops steaming and the second one when the whole thing is cold. This makes a more positive seal. SALAD DAY'S Seldom has such attention been paid by health experts to the wonderful food qualities of vegetables. No•house- wife can gather together .a sufficiently lags list of fresh Isalads. After a11, changes of vegetables go a long way towards making happy meals and healthy eaters. Here are a few simple salads which will be appreciated: Cooked Vegetable Salad . Cooked turnip, carrot, beetroot, po- tatoes,. haricot beans, raw celery, cresses, tomatoes, hard-boiled egg. Cut ingredients into neat shapes• and ar- range in layers in salad bowl. Decor- ate salad with chopped white and sieved yolk of egg. Russian Salad -rooked potatoes, carrot, turnip, beet- root, green peas (canned or fresh), to- matoes. Slice ingredients and arrange n groups in salad bowl. Add green peas. Potato Salad Cold potatoes, chopped onion, tea- spoonful chopped parsley. Cut pota- toes otstoes into cubes one inch thick, add chopped onion and parsley and coat with dressing. Summer Salad Lettuce, cresses, • cucumber, beet- root, tomatoes, spring onions, radish- es. Line salad bowl with lettuce. Pre- pare all salad and cut in sections. Ar- range in groups. A little grated car- rot on top is an improvement Egg Salad Hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, watercress, • Lemon Castles Weigh. 2 eggs and measure the same . quantity of flour, butter and sugar. Put the. butter into a basin and beat it With a wooden spoon until it is quite soft, add the sugar and beat until like whipped cream:, Beat the eggs till frothy, then add them gradually to the butter, etc. Mix 1/ teaspoon baking powder and the grated rind of a lemon with the • flour and stir into the egg mixture. .Add the strained juice of the lemon and 2 tablespoons milk and mix well. Butter some moulds or small cups and hall fill with the mixture. Cover with greased paper and stand in a baking tin of water—do not let the water come more than half -way up—and steam for alt of an hour. Turn out and pour round a jam sauce. This mixture is also very good if put into a pie -dish and baked for Ye hour. Lemon Cream Wash 3 lemons, peel the rind as thinly as possible and put into a jug with 6 oz. sugar. Pour over Ye pint boiling water and leave to stand for an hour. Take out the peel and stir ie. 2 eggs, well beaten, a bare 1/ oz. gelatine (previously dissolved in 3 - tablespoons hat water) and the strain- spring onions. A few sardines, skin - ed juice of the lemons. Stand the jug ner and boned. Halve eggs and coat andcook ate oE boilingwater in asalad greens panwith dressing. Arrange gently till the mixture thickens. Put round salad bowl, with sardines skin - into a mouldsend turn out when set. red and boned. Place eggson top. USE RHUBARB FOR JAM Here is the recipe of a good Mayon - AND CONSERVE raise Sauce to serve with the salads: ly fold the larger articles, Snell as sheets, towels and table clothe, and place them :under the ironing cloth while ironing the smaller things. This is a great help, and the larger articles will be just as smooth as if they had been ironed separately. Artificial silk, woollens, and .daanele should not come in contact with ex- treme heat; 'use only tepid soapy water and a lukewarm iron. Rainwater is ideal for washing oiothes, but if hard water has to be used, a little borax will act as a softener. The clothes boiler must be thor- oughly cleansed and dried before it is put away—try a little ammonia or lemon juice to remove the suds from the top, rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly. Stains and Marmalade Water in which potatoes have been cooked is excellent for removing tea orcoffee stains from linen. Quick boiling is essential for suc- cessful marmalade or jam making. Never allow the fruit to simmer. Keep it on a quick boil all the tune. This ensures a good set when. the preserve is potted. Quaint Model By HELEN WILLIAMS. Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern Economy is the watchword for most housewives these 'clays and every trick which makes it possible to "poi jam on bread and'butter" is eagerly studied by alert home -makers. Use rhubarb to increase the quan- tity of jams and conserves without im- pareng the quality, Strange as it may seem, this common garden plant with its characteristic tartness has the pe- culiar property of increasing the bulk of jams and conserves made of delici- ously flavored fruits without Material- ly changing the flavor. • Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb, 2 pounds straw- berries, 2 pounds granulated sugar. 'Wash and skin rhubarb. Wash and hull berries. Put rhubarb through the food chopper, catching the juice that drips from the crank case. Combine rhubarb, juice and !sugar. Add berries and let stand until sugar is dissolved. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and to crush the fruit. Cook until a spoon- ful tried on a cold plate thickens like jelly. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with paraffin. Strawberry and Rhubarb Conserve Two cups finely chopped `rhubarb, 2 cups shredded pineapple, 4 cups hull- ed strawberries, 6 cups sugar, x/z cup blanched and shredded almonds. Cook pineapple in its own juice for ten minutes, Add strawberries cut in small pieces and prepared rhubarb. Bring to the boiling point and .sift in sugar. Cook, stirring to prevent stick- ing, for about .40 minutes, Acid nuts and cook ten minutes longer. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with paraffin, Rhubarb Relish Two pounds rhubarb, 14 pound 1 yolk of egg, 1 gill salad oil, 1/ tea- spoonful easpoonful mustard, -1 tablespoon cream, Ye teaspoonful of caster sugar, 1 table- spoonful Tarragon vinegar, 1 table- spoonful vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix the dry ingredients and yolk of egg. Whisk in gradually tie- salad. oil and vinegar. Add cream at the last—very gradually. Water Bottles Frequently hot-water bottles which are put away for the summer mouths are discovered, when they are taken out of store again, to be hard or to have perished. This is often due to the fact that they were not stored with sufttcieot care. Before rubber hot- water bottles are put away they should be treated with weak soda water. Fill the bottle with the solu- tion and shake it well. Then empty and dip the whole bottle into the soda water. Finally dry it thoroughly be- fore wrapping and storing for the sum- mer. After this treatment tine hot- water otwater bottles may, be left for four LESSON 1X,—MAY 28. JESUS AND HIS FRIENDS. - Mark 13: 1-- 14, 9. GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are my friends,' if ye do the things which I command you.—John. 15; 14. THE PLAN OF THE LESSON. SUBJECT; Being a Freud of Jesus, I. Jesus Warns His Friends, Mark 13: 1-37. Il:, Jesus Plotted Against, Mark 14: 1, 2, W. Jesus Annointed by Mary, Mark 14: 3-9, Jesus Warns His Friends, Mark 13: 1--37. Driven from the temple by his foes, never to enter it again, our Lord devoted himself during these last few days to his little band of loving friends. Our lesson shows him faithfully warning them of the trials that were to come upon them, solemnly pointing them to the end of all things, and gratefully receiving their tributes of affection. In the background we see the dark menace of his foes, plotting his death. The view of the future. which Christ set before his disciples in those clos- ing hours with them dealt with their individual trials; they would be tempted by false teaches tc stray from the true course; they would be brought to trial before harsh judges; they would have opportunity to tes- tify of him before the great of the world; they would be delivered up to death by those nearest and dearest to them; and if they endured faith- fully to the end 'they would receive the reward of eternal salvation. He set no date for all these events. He declared that no than knew their• time, nor the angels, nor even him- self, but only his Father, But he solemnly asserted the truth of his prophecy. Heaven and earth should pass away, but his word should not I ass away. "Watch and Pray." 33. A heedless life cannot be a Christian life. The Christian is full of joy, but it is a solemn joy; for he sees clearly the vast, eternal issues at stake in this life. He would as soon dance care- lessly on the brink of a precipice as go flauntingly along the pathway of his earthly existence. Thoughtful- ness becomes a Christian, for he knows that his life here determines his life throughout the endless years. Watch and pray. We are not to in- termit either our watching or praying, but to keep them up, as Paul says, "in all perseverance" (Eph. 6: 18). Mark 14: t Jesus Plotted Against, 11. gns, 1, 2. We are •at the close of Tuesday of Passion Week. The events of Wed- nesday are not recorded,. the day be- ing probably spent by Christ in re- tirement with his friends in Bethany. The passover was the greatest of all the Jewish feasts, the one which com- memorated the escape of the Hebrew nation from Egypt' when the death angel passed over the houses of the Jews, protected by the blood of the slain lamb sprinkled on doorpost and lintel, and fell upon and killed all the firstborn of the Egptians. The festival began at evening on the four- teenth day of the month Abib or Nisan, the first month of the Jewish year, corresponding to our March - April. Far they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people. Jerusalem was crowded during the feast, and the crowd over- flowed into the surrounding country. Sometimes 256,000 lambs (Geikie) were required for slaughter in the temple, one lamb for each household or family. The Romans took care that there should be an unusually heavy guard hi Jerusalem during the feast, riots were so common among the excitable people, and an uprising against their conquerors being always to be feared. III. Jesus Annointed by Mary, Mark 14: 3-9. • Simon's Feast. In order to reveal the motive which led Judas to betray Jesus to the Sanhedrin and relate the immediate occasion which spur- red the traitor to action, Mark goes back a few days (as we learn from the other Gospels) to the Saturday evening of Passim Week, and tells of something that happened when our Lord and his disciples were freshly come from Perim. They went to Ex4-onies Hold Banquet ers of wasteland may obtain: a supply; Recently a very interesting gather- ing took place 'at Unionville, Ont., when a successful banquet and Par- ents' Night was held by the let Union- ville Troop. This Troop was organized as the re- sult of the activities of a Lone Scout Patrol in that town, which. owed its existence to the interest in Scouting of Patrol Leader John Young and Troop Leader Don, Sabiston. A feature of the gathering was the fact that every Scout and Cub present had brought at least one member of his family, and in many cases both parents were present'"" A versatile little model is today's pattern.

On June 5. the date on which Montreal first started its career as a city' in 1833, Mayor F. Rinfret, will unveil a modest bronze plaque at the city hall. A special meeting of the city council will be held to commemorate the event and enter the proceedings into the mouths without fear of perishing or minutes. A band concert will be hardening. Laundry Hints To remove dressing from new white articles soak them overnight in a bath of cold water to which a handful of table salt has been added. Linen dries more quickly than cot- ton and should not be starched. Starched clothes damped with warm water may be ironed the same day. Water in which rice has been boiled makes an excellent starch for cottons, musline, and lace. A little borax added to the starch when mixing will prevent the iron from, sticking.

A Forestry Camp For some years past the Forestry Department of the Ontario Provincial Government has organized a camp for Boy Scouts over the weekend nearest to the 24th of May, at Angus, Ont., which is one of the centres of the De- partment's activities.' This camp is held with the objective of interesting Scouts in reforestration work in this province, and to encour- age them to be interested in trees and to boost tree planting on waste ground. The boys help to plant a num- ber of trees, whilst at the camp, in what is known as the "Boy Scout For- est," which has now mai.y thousands of young trees growing sturdily, some of which are attaining appreciable size. The boys are shown the various pro- cesses of the work, from the collection of the seeds, through their infancy in the nursery, until they are planted out, or sent to, all parts of the pro- vince to be planted by farmers or others who wish to use them. It is not generally known that own - Kabul, Afghanistan, has been adde to the wide overseas mailing list the Canadian Scouting monthly, "Th 1,1 Scout Leader."

This house was Christ's headquarters during Pass- over week, and there he was compar- atively safe from his enemies. In the house of Simon the leper. He had been a leper. It is thought that Christ had healed him. Some think that he was Martha's husband, be - cruse that serviceable woman is men- tioned (John 12: 2) as having charge of the household arrangements of the feast. Others think that he was Mary's husband. Some believe him to have been a brother of the two sisters and Lazarus. There came a woman. John tells is that it was Mary. We :rust remember that the 'active attempt of the Jewish rulers to compass the death of Jesus started with the raising of Lazarus (John 11: 53), so that it would be dangerous t any of the Bethany family to be named in this connection, and John alone, writing after the fall of Jeru- salem and probably after the deaths of Lazarus and his sisters, could name then in his Gospel and give an account of the resurrection miracle.
