Try Raisins For Flavor
You will find raisins of infinite value
as a means toward economy and
variety in your daily menus. They *are
especially easy to use because they
require no preliminary soaking as do
most, of the other dried! fruits.
An excellent source ofratural sugar,
the sweetness of raisins decreases the
amount of sugar usually called for in
a recipe. They add much to the diet in
other ways, increasing the palatability
'of many plain dishes and furnishing
iron to a high degree. Their caloric
value, being almost 100 calorie's Per
ounce, is also important. One-fourth
cup of raisins weighs 1.1 ounces and
supplies 3 calories of protein, 9 of fat
and 88 of carbohydrates.
Most of us use raisins in puddings
and cake mixtures, but do you know
that hot,boiled beets gain interest and
provide extra nourishment if served
with a sauce to which raisins have
been added? The small seedless rais-
ins are delicious°in either a lemon or.
an orange sauce.
The flavor of Hamburg steak is
greatly improved by the addition of a
few raisins. Chop raisins finely and
work well with meat. Although the
protein content of raisins is vastly
lower than that of beef, their iron con-
tent compares favorably and they are
inexpensive and highly nutritious.
Other meats beside beef are made
more .appetizing if combined with rais-
ins. Raisin sauce with ham Ls tra-
1itonal, but seeded or seedless raisins
can be sprinkled over the ham while
baking -with excellent effect. Hot
boiled tongue with raisin sauce, baked
stuffed heart with raisin sauce, and
braised beef liver with raisin sauce
ire inexpensive and worth -while meat
dishes that owe much of their popular-
ity to the sauce.
Bread puddings and rice puddings
become the means of adding iron to
the diet when raisins are included in
their composition.
The next time you serve rice in
place of potatoes try the following
raisin sauce:
Raisin Sauce
One cup white sauce. ;i cup grated
cheese, cup seeded and steamed
raisins,
Wash raisins and steam until plump.
Add cheese to hot white sauce and
when melted add raisins. Keep hot
' over hot water if not served at once.
Ham As Usual
Ilam is a good old favorite and fits
nicely into the menu at this. time of
year. But don't be content with fried
ham and boiled ham. Try other sav-
ory disheswith this as the main in-
gredient. Incidentally, you will be
surprised at the result when a dash of
sugar is added to accentuate the flavor
of this flavorous food.
Ham Mousse
2 cups boiled ham, put through meat
grinder, 1 teaspoon mixed mustard, 1,6
teaspoon sugar, 1-8 teaspoon paprika,
1 tablespoon gelatin, 2 tablespoons
cold water, 3a cup hot water, % .cup
heavy cream, whipped. Add season-
ings to finely chopped ham. Stir in
gelatin which has been soaked in cold
Nater and dissolved in hot. Combine
mixture lightly with whipped cream.
Turn into a mold that has been dipped
in cold water. Leave on ice until well
set. Serve on lettuce. _
Ham Loaf
6 hard boiled eggs, 2 cups cooked
ham, chopped fine. 1 cup milk, 1 table-
spoon flour, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tea-
spoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tea-
spoon sugar, ._1 teaspoon mixed mus-
tard, salt and pepper. Make a white
sauce of the flour, butter :and milk.
Add seasonings. Arrange a layer of
the sliced, hard boiled eggs in the bot
tom of a baking pan. Pour on -a little
of the sauce. Add a layer of the ham,
Cover with sauce. Continue alternat-
ing layers until all is used. Cover top
with well buttered bread crumbs. Bake
thirty minutes in a moderate oven.
Bread and ButterRolls
For 'something a bit different to
servo at bridge parties these bread
and butter rolls are quite intriguing.
All you need is 3i -pound package
cream cheese, 14 cup .butter, 1 small.
loaf fresh bread. Allow cheese to stand
at room temperature until softened.
Cream with butter, Remove the crust
front a small loaf of fresh bread and
cut bread into thin slices. Wrap tight-
ly in a dampened cloth to moisten
bread slightly. Let stand for an hour.
in a cool place. Spread each slice
with creamed cheese and butter mix-
ture and roll up. Fasten each roll with
a toothpick. Cover with a damp cloth
and let stand in a cold place until the
butter has hardened so that the bread
will not unroll when toothpick is re-
moved, before serving.
Save Bacon Fat
There are many little ways of get-
ting all the valuable parts of food
when it is being cooked, careful at-
tention to which will in time cut gro-
cery and meat bills.
Bacon fat, if properly cooked, is
good to use for browning foods, for
seasoning and for adding Savor to,
soups and stews. When cooking bacon
pour off the fat as soon as it melts,
With every pound. of bacon you will
find nearly a cup of fat.
The Best of a Scramble
Few people make the best of scram-
bled eggs, and that is a pity. This
dish can be very delicious indeed, and
broken eggs can be used up this way.
Scrambled eggs are made more nour-
ishing and more savoury still by the
addition of some grated cheese. Or a
skinned and thinly sliced tomato may
be scrambled with them, or some Wor-
cester or tomato sauce added either
just before serving or while the eggs
are being scrambled. A little parsley is
also an improvement.
Eggs properly scrambled should be
creamy and not too dry. Remove them
from the heat before any suspicion of
dryness occurs. A little butter rubbed
round the saucepan} beforehand, as
well as the piece added for cooking
purposes, will prevent the egg from
sticking to the saucepan and make the
cleaning of it afterwards a raxch simp-
ler matter.
Household Hints
Milk will not burn if the saucepan
is rinsed in cold water before boiling.
A small piece of butter added to the
water in which vegetables are to be
cooked will prevent them from boiling
over.
A hot cloth wrapped round a jelly
mould will enable the contents to be
turned out whole.
Glass will have a brighter appear-
ance if it is washed in cold water in,
preference to hot.
Corks may be rendered watertight
and airtight if they are soaked in. oil
for a fewminutes before using.,
The inside of a vacuum flask should
be washed out with a solution of salt
and vinegar.
Discolored bone knife handles will
quickly regain their natural whiteness
if rubbed with a cloth dipped in a
solution of peroxide.
Woollens will not shrink if two tea-
spoonfuls of glycerine are added to the
washing water—provided, of course,
that the ordinary rules for washing
woollies are not flagrantly disregard-
ed.
Bath waterlines may be cleansed
away by rubbing with a cloth soaked
in paraffin and then dipped into a tin
containing salt. Rinse the bath well
with cold (not hot) water afterwards
until no trace of oil remains.
Kitchen windows will not become
steamed if rubbed over inside with a
cloth sprinkled with glycerine.
An excellent brightener for pewter
—for those who prefer a sparkling ef-
fect—is
f-
fect is made by dissolving a little
potash in hot water. Soak the pewter
in this. and then rub it with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with olive oil.
Now rub lightly with a leather, and
watch the "shine" appear.

Lesson
July 2, (Lesson I.—Joshua—Josh. 1;
1-9; 23;, 1,' 2, 14. Golden Text --Re
strong and of good courage;
for Jehovah thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.--Josh,.
1.9.
I. JOSHUA'S COMMISSION, Josh, 1: 1-4,
The Book of Joshua. We begin with
a lesson that takes in an entire Book
of the Bible, the sixth, completing
what. is called the Hexateuch, or Six
-Books. It comprises the story of that
heroic soul, Joshua, who was called! to
take up the work of the greatest of
the Old Testament leaders, Moses, and
who carried it to so large a measure
of success.
1, "Now it came to pass after the
death of Moses the servant of Je-
hovah." .The great leader had died
in the land of Moab, and was given
burial by Jehovah, so that no ono
knew his grave. The Israelites mourn-
ed for him through thirty days. "That
Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of
Nun, Moses' minister." : Not the ser-
vant of Moses in a menial sense, but
the deputy of Moses, his prime min-
ister. "Saying,"
2. "Moses my servant is dead; now
therefore arise." The fall of a great
leader is summons to leadership.
Elisha must follow Elijah, Timothy
and Luke and Mark and a anulti•:ude
of others rnur.t follow Paul. Chtist
left his apostles to carry on his work.
(Josh. 24: 29), "Go over this Jordan,
thou, and all this people. Unto the
land which I doegive to then, even to
the children of Israel." That was the
hope and confidence hidden in the
peril. The land to the west of the,
Jordan was God's gift to the Israel-
ites, therefore God would make a way
for them to it. The whole land of
Canaan was IsraeI's by deed of gift.
But though this was so, each square
mile of it had to be claimed from the
hand of the peoples that possessed it.
The cities were theirs, but they must
enter them; the houses which they
had not built were theirs, but they
must inhabit then; the cornfieldls in
the rich vales and the vineyards on
the terraced slopes were theirs, but
they must possess them.
3. "Every place that the sole of your
foot shall tread upon, to you have I
given it." Here is a great promise
with a sharp limitation. Every place
is yours—but every place only as you
tread upon it, occ npy, subdue, mess
it.
4. "From the wilderness." The des-
ert of Arabia, in which the Israelies
were encamped, lying to the south of.
Palestine. "And this Lebanon." The
mountain region of Lebanon visible
to the north, to be seen from all parts
of Palestine. "Even unto the great
river, the river Euphrates." So .great
that it was called "the River." "Ali
the land of the Hittites." The Hit-
tite empire lay to the north of Syria,
but Canaan was subordinate to it.
"And unto the great sea toward the
going down of the sun." The Medi-
terranean on the west. "Shall be your
border."
II. JOSHUA'S STRENGTH, Josh. 1: 5-9.
God's Promise. Joshua had a vast
work to do, given him by God; but
God also gave him vast aids for doing
that work. The first aid. that God
gave Joshua was a magnificent prom-
ise.
5. "There shall not any pian be able
to stand before thee all the days of
thy life." What a promise was that,
for a general who was to lead an un-
tried host against many tribes of sea-
soned warriors! "As I was with
Moses, so I will be with thee." This is
the second mighty help that God gave
Joshua in the promise of his all-
powerful presence.
6. "Be strong and of good courage."
On such a faith as Joshua's naturally
follows the next quality in Joshua's
character—the quality of courage.
Christ puts the connection between
these two things with great clearness
—"Why are ye so fearful, 0 ye of
little f aith?" Faith is always the best
ground of courage. "For then shalt
cause this people to inherit the land
which I sware unto their fathers to
give them." Here is the unselfish
ground of true strength and courage,
and there is no selfish ground. Joshua
was not to fight for land for himself,
but for his people.
God's Law. 7. "Only be strong and
very courageous, to observe to do ac-
cording to all the law." Law -observ-
ance requires strength and courage.
No flabby weakling. Strictness in ad-
hering to the precepts of God's Word
is often condemned or ridiculed as de-
noting narrowness of character.
8. "This book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth." The law
was therefore embodied in a written
document when the Book of Joshua
was written. "But thou shalt medi-
tate thereon day and night." Too much
of our Bible -reading is hasty. "That
thou inayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein." Our

Bible -reading should he practical,
have a goal, seek results. "For then
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
aid then thou shalt have good suc-
cess" The word "success" occurs only
once in the King James version of the
Bible, and then it is qualified by the
adjective "good,"
9, "Be strong and of good courage;
be not affrighted, neither be thou dis-
mayed." "Let not thy heart be troubl-
ed," Christ commands us,

W. JOSHUA'S SUCCESS, Josh, 1: 10;
33.
The Charge to the People, Josh. 1:
10-18, It as not enough for Joshua to
receive the divine commands, accom-
panied by the divine encouragement,
lie roust pass both along to the people,
and this he did by sending officers
among them to proclaim God's words,
The Help of Rahab, Josh. 2. The
stronghold of Canaan nearest to where
the Israelites must cross the Jordan
was the important walled city of Per-
icho, and two young :nen were chosen
to swim the river, swollen and swift
with the spring freshets, and recon-
noiter. Jericho, They brought back a
report which greatly encouraged Jo-
shua and the Israelites. "They had
been in great danger, but had been
saved by the fidelity of Rahab, a wo-
man of Jericho, to whose house they
had gone, repaying her by the prom-
ise of protection to herself and het'
family when the city should be taken.
The Passage of the Jordan, Josh. 3.
Without a miracle, it was absolutely
impossible to take the great host of
the Israelites over the deep, rushing
Jordan into the promised land; but.
the miracle was granted them, the
down -flowing waters being held back,
The Twelve Stones, Josh. 4. God's
children should set up memorials of
God's mercies. Thus Joshua had
twelve stones, one for each tribe, rade,
into a cairn on the river bed where
the priests had stood while the waters
-were stayed.
The Fall of Jericho, Josh. 6. God
conducted Joshua across the Jordan
at the point where the strongest forti-
fication in the country stood directly
in his way; the point where the sole
alternatives before him were victory
that seemed impossible or defeat that
would be ruin. In conquering Jericho
the Israelites virtually subdued the
promised land.
The Conquest of Canaan, Josh. 7-
22. The conquest of Ai gave Joshua
a foothold from which be made him-
self master of central Canaan, thus
cutting the forces of his enemies in
two. Then in southern Canaan a for-
midable alliance of five kings was
formed against him. But Joshua fell
upon them unexpectedly by a night
march from Gilgal, defeated them, and
then had all of southern Canaan in his
hands. Next in northern Canaan, the
Galilee district, another powerful un-
ion of native tribes was formed, head-
ed by Jabin, king of Hazer. Joshua
fought them at the waters of Merom,
defeated then, 'and then made "a de-
tailed conquest of their towns.
Joshua's Final Charge, Josh. 23, 24.
Josh. 28: 1. "And it cane to pass
after many days." The time occupied
by Joshua's conquests is variously
reckoned .at five to seven years. "When
Jehovah had given _rest unto Israel
from all their enemies round about.
And Joshua was old and well stricken
in years." He was 110 years olds when
he died, so that this nal charge took
place long after the conquest of Can-
aan.
2. "That Joshua call for all Israel.
For their elders and for their heads,
and for their judges and for their
officers." These terms are for the
mast part synonymous, though the
elders were the heads of the various
families or clans, and the judges had
judicial rather than administrative
functions. "And said unto them, I am
old and well stricken in years." Jo-
shua was wise enough to know when
his powers were failing, and when it
was best for• him to hand over his
authority to younger and stronger
hands.
14. "And behold, this day I am going
the way of all the earth." "It is ap-
pointed unto men once to die" (Heb.
9:27). "And ye know in all your
hearts and in all your souls." Joshua
could appeal confidently to each one
of there. "That not one thing hath
failed of all the good things which
Jehovah your God spake concerning
you." That is, the promises made to
Joshua in the opening chapters of this
Book. "All are come to pass unto you,
not one thing hath failed thereof."eof.n

California Business Women
To Demand Equal Rights
San Jose, Calif.—Equal rights for
men and women in all walks of life
was strongly advocated by the Cali-
fornia Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs at its
state convention recently held at the
Scottish Rite Temple.
Resolutions indorsing the Copeland-
Diskstein nationality bill, and the
equal rights amendment now before
Congress, were passed. The. World
Court was also indorsed, providing
that its code of law contains no in-
equalities based on sex. It was de-
clared that the minimum wags laws
for women in industry were not being
observed, and that nen and women
should be subject to the same law in
industry as in. all human relations.
Women are in business to stay, de-
clared Mrs. Eudora Ramsay Richard-
son field representative of the Na-
tional Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs, who ad-
dressed a gathering of over 750 wo-
men. She pointed out several laws
of a discriminatory source in national,
state and local affairs, and urged their
elimination.
