In the Home" Baked Icing Last* week you had a.recipe for broil- ed icing—•thin week we offer a delict- Das spice caste wth baked icing, which calls for 1 egg white, '/a cup brown Sugar, 1/e cupbroken 'tut meats, Beat egg whites until they hold a point When . the beater is pulled out of them. Add brown sugar, beating it in, Spread top ,of cage batter, sprinkle on the Outs azid bake .in a moderate oven, 50 degrees I'., until the cake is done, which will be in .approximately 35 Minutes • if it is in a pan 8 inches 'square. Make twice the recipe for a larger cake. The cake is made as follows: Cream Ye cup shortening and add 1 cup brown sugar gradually, .Add to the creamed mixture 1 whole egg end 1 egg yolk well beaten, Sift 1 1-3 cups cake flour once before measur- ing. Then sift together flour, 1/4 tea- ppoon salt, Ye teaspoon soda, 1/4 tea- spoon baking powder, ae teaspoon Cloves, 1,4 teaspoon cinnamon and add alternately with 1/ cup sour milk. Pour Into greased and floured pan, Thee, B5 minutes. Temperature, 350 deg. F. Moderate oven. Size of van, 8 inches square. For a larger cake double the recipe. Another attractive way in which a baked icing may be used is on thin sayers of cake, which are cut in strips after baking, These cakelets are a delicious accompaniment to lee cream and many desserts, and they are es- pecially good with a cup of tea of cof- fee. The batter is spread about 1/4 lush deep in the greased pans, the nuts are sprinkled on and then the thin coating of icing is spread over the surface. The cake is baked in an oven registelfng 325 degrees F. and the strips are not cut until the cake is thoroughly cold. A Serving Tip When you are having a variety of greens in a salad it is an excellent Idea to put all of them together in a large bowl. Mix them with the dress- ing at the table and serve the salad tram the bowl, . Cold Baths This is the season of cold tubs for those of us who like an exhilarating bath in the morning. Have you ever really tried them, for a week, straight running? The first three are the hardest, but the rest are almost inevitable. For you get to feeling you need that brisk pick-me- up as muchas you do your morning coffee, to get started right. JO There are some women, women with -weak hearts, who would never try a cold shower. But there are a lot who should, and don't. If you have tried a cold shower and it doesn't work, to your way of think- ing, try this. After a tepid shower, take a whole handful of, kitchen salt, and give yourself a rub with it, quick- ly, an all-over rub. Then briskly rub yourself dry. This stimulates circula- tion and gets ou in good form to start the day right. Too many women use their baths just for relaxation. A very hot bath in mornings is enervating. You don't need relaxing after a night's sleep. You need awakening. That is where – the cold shower is perfect You don't have to stay under long. Just a once-over will do the trick. For women whose flesh is soft and whose facets contour is no longer quite as clear cut as it formerly was, this cold shower daily does something to make the flesh firm, Moreover, as a prevention of colds; any doctor will tell you its real value. Bottles and Bands Druggists are generous, and shower attractive wrappings and packets and bottles upon us with our purchases. Tablets and:lozengers are no longer weighed out by the ounce and handed ever in a thin white paper packet with a blob of sealing -wax at either end but are made- up in neat little cartons, tubes or screw-top bottle, often wrap- ped up in a pamphlet or booklet bright- ly showing forth the benefits of the remedies they enclose. Tooth paste' and toilet creams, too, throw in a sup- ply of reading matter which is usual- ly attached to the tube by, a rubber band. We are so much accustomed to these accompaniments by now that they are generally thrown away at once; but even if put aside for a time they are apt to drift away, still unused, on the household tide of rubbish. Some, how- ever, could easily be put to useful pur- poses, How to Use Them It is agood plan to put up a small screw hook' somewhere In the kitchen and to keep it specially for rubber bands, which are hung there as soon as they are removed from the packets. It is surprising how rapidly a collec- tion accumulates and how often and usefully the supply can be drawnup- on. It is much easier, .for instance, to use a 'rubber band to secure a small packet to be taken to the shops than to find "(in a hurry) _ a suitable length and thickness of string. Rubber bands are also handy for fastening the covers on jam jars or pottedzneateepots, for`' keepinga hasty,; bandage in place on .a cut finger, for securing kitchen lists and bilis. Some of the little screw-top bottles and pots should also be washed and saved: These will hold sett, tea, sugar, even an individual jamration, for pic- nics. Made mustard can go into a lit- tle cream pot (safely marked). Small quantities of seasoning and spices may be stored in them in the kitchen cup- board and save the untidiness of paper packages. Tin lozenge boxes are use- ful for the same purpose or for the desk drawer, where they hold paper clips, drawing pins and so on. In the tool drawer they, keep the different sizes of screws and nails neatly separ- ated. Spotted Net Curtains Spotted net curtains should not be. allowed to dry and then 'be damped down for ironing. They should be rolled tightly in a thick cloth after they have been washed and then iron- ed in about an hour. In this way they will come up crisp and fresh. Wash the curtains in lukewarm soapy water, rinsing them in several bowls of cold water. Add a little borax to the final rinsing water in preference to starch- ing, as this method will ensure the cur- tains ironing to just the right stiff- ness. Iron the curtains on several thicknesses of blanket to obtain the best effect with the spots. Kitchen Kinks In cooking very sour fruit much less sugar is required if a litle salt is add- ed, The flavor will be improved. When ironing, keep beside you an old perfume spray containing water, to be applied to any part that has become too dry. This gives the even damp- ness and perfect condition necessary for a pleasing finish. When pouring fat inta a basin, add 1 tablespoon of boiling water. This will make all pieces of 'meat sink to the bottom, and the dripping will be clear, Sheets often tear when pegged to the line by the corners. To prevent this, stitch a small length of tape at each corner, and peg these instead of the sheet. After washing ribbons, wind them evenly around a bottle. Fill the bottle with hot water and cork it. The rib- bons will dry quickly and smoothly. A sliced banana added to apples when they are stewed improves the flavor. To prevent milk from boiling over, rub the edge of the saucepan with a little butter. Vaseline rubbed well into the nails at night will prevent them from split- ting and becoming brittle. JUDGINGOTHERS. What is commonly wrong is to pass a judgment en our fellow -creatures': Never let it be forgotten that: there is scarcely a single moral action of a single man of which other men can have such a knowledge, in iter ulti- mate grounds, its surrounding incl- i dents, and the real determining causes of its 'merits, as to warrant their pronouncing a conclusive judg- ment upon it—. E. Gladstone. nn DEBT. Debt comes under the eighth com- mandment. 'It hangs a millstone round 1 the neck of. the man or woman who incurs it. It corrodes honesty.

GOLDEN TEXT --Blessed is, the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,—Ps. 40: 4. THE PLAN OF THE LESSON, SUB:JECT:: Caleb's Confidence, I, Caleb's "We Can,,, Num. 13, H. Caleb's Conquest, Josh. 114: 13, 14, I. Caleb's "We Can," Num, 13. The Exploration of Canaan, We are not told much about Caleb, but what we are told is enough to give him <a secure place among Bible immortals, and make him forever an inspiration to the world. For he was that glorious sight, a gallant and indomitable old Man, fighting to the last in the most magnificent of causes. We meet him first at the close of the,margheaeraka� the desert from„Sinai to the northern part of the,..11derness. of Paran, at Iiadesh Barnea, They had reached the bordelkeef Canaan, the promised land, the goal of their exodus from Egypt, the' one great hope of the nation. But they were not to advance upon its hastily, in a foolhardy manner. A dark picture was uppermost in their minds. They were terrified by the inhabitants of this rich territory. They were 'numerous and strong, the report was, and the spies enumerated their various tribes to indicate their strength. Their cities were fortified and very great. So went the doleful report, and down went the 'hearts of the hearers. All theirhigh hopes were crumbled in the dust. But there ,was ,a minority report, the report of two.Caleb and Joshua; and Caleb, stilling the wailing of the people, bravely made it. `Let usgo ess up at once," said he, "a . o the land, for we are wel a.le to overcome it. If Jehovah delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it. to us. Only .rebel not against Jehovah, nor fear the people of the land. They are bread for us. We can eat them up.' The Lord is. with us, and they have no defence. against us. Fear them not." Caleb Looks Backward. Forty years old was I when Moses, the servant of Jehovah, sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out the land. Note the honor paid to Moses: he .was 'the gran of God"; he was "the servant of Ye hovah." Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me. "Went up" from Kadesh. to thenorth of Canaan. Made the heart of the people melt. They weak- ened their spirit by their portrayal of the giants to be met in Canaan and the walled cities to be conquered. But I wholly followed Jehovah my God. What a glorious thing to be able to say this with truth, as Caleb could! Caleb's name signifies "all heart," and he was a hearty, whole-souled man. And Moses sware on that day. Moses made that promise years before, but Caleb had kept his confidence .in the' word of the servant of God ever since. May our words be equally cher- ished as immutable! Saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trod- den shall be an inheritance to thee. and to thy children for ever. Caleb had trodden the land of Canaan in faith, and so he had made it his own. Because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God. This is a noble refrain and a true one. It is the secret of Caleb's and Joseph's sac - Fess and will be the secret of , ours, If we adopt it. Caleb's Request. And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years. Caleb attributed his longevity to the true cause. From the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Caleb goes baok of Moses to God,• for the promise given by Moses (verse 9) was really a promise made by the Lord through his servant. And now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five -years old. It is a .man's duty to grow old, if he can do so without being false to his duty. Men who wantonly "burn the candle at both ends," though in a cause that seems to them good, are spendthrifts of that which they can never replace. A wise and experienced old man has many times the value of a brilliant young man who cuts his life. off in hs youth by his excesses of work, especially if it is labor to be rich or famous.. As my strength was then, even so s my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in, Sosalso it was said of Moses, when he Came to die at the far greater age of one hundred and twenty, that "his eye was not dins or his natural force abated" (Deut. 34: 7). Now therefore give me this hill - country. "The' neighborhood of Heb 'on, a region of hills and valleys." Whereof Jehovah spake in that day. We have no record in the Pentateuch of this special promise of Hebron o Caleb, though it must have been made, For thou heardest iu that day liow the Anakim were there. The ace of giants, of which Samson was probably -a descendant. And cities great and fortified. Giant cities as well as giant .nen, difficulty On did,. cqty, it may be that Jehovah will be with no. Note Caleb's modesty, 1 E is sure `that he has wholly follows ed Jehovah be the past, but be knows inan's tendency to weakness and error, II. Caleb's Conquest. Josh, 14: 13, 14. The Blessing of Caleb. And Joshua blessed him. The general called down on the heroic old man the blessing of the Almighty; and we may be sure that Joshua's prayers were heard by God, remembering the long period when he dwelt in the tent -sanctuary, never leaving it, day or night, And he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance, Therefore Hebron became the inhere Itanes of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the ICenizzite unto this day. The time when the Book of Joshua was written. Because that he wholly followed Je- hovah, the God of Israel.. This is the refrain which runs through this little epic and here concludes it.. There is something singularly touch- ing in Caleb's asking as a favor what was really a most hazardous and an - portent service to the nation. Rough though these Hebrew soldiers were, they were capable of the most gentle- �%ziY and chivalrous acts. There can be ,no higher act of courtesy than to treat as a favor to yourself what is really a great favor to another. Well done, Caleb! • Rural Farm Family Expenses Few facts are available for refer- ence eference on the cost of living in rural farm homes in Canada says the Econ- omic Analist, published by the Dom- inion Dept. of Agriculture. However, in a survey of 157 farms in the Red River Valley of Manitoba in 1931 by the Dominion Economics Branch, data on family living were obtained from 129 of the records. Cash expenditures per family averaged $658.32, while farm furnished items amounted to a4 42, making a total of $1,088.74 the average cost of living during the year. Cash expenditures were 60.47 per cent. of the total, while farm furn- ished items averaged 39.53 per cent. Fully 49.12 per cent. of the total goods and services was spent on food, the average expense for food being $534.84. Over half this amount was supplied from the farm in butter, eggs, milk, garden produce and meats. Clothing accounted for 9.58 per cent. of the total, or an average of $104.32 per family. The average farm fain- ily spent $45.34 for health purposes; $37.7'0 on education; $44.29 on amuse- ment, $20,01 on churches and charity, and $24.02, as half the amount spent on operating the automobile charged to family living. Young Britons Take • To Open Road Wayside Hostels Now Dot Countryside Like Petrol l" Stations In Cities .Loadon. — With the approach of early' summer, Young. Britain is tak- ing to the open road. By couples, by groups, by parties, by clubs they wander everywhere between the South Downs and the Grampians. Gone, largely, is the quaint equipment which, when the movement first open- ed, gave hikers the air of Tartarin on the Alps. Occasionally one meets parties with portable tents. Usually', they make for youth hostels or the wayside hounse which announces "bed and breakfast" within the modest' means of the modern pilgrim. • Youth hostels usually charge around 25 cents a night for accommo- dation; and youth hostels now dot the countryside. A youth hostel wel- comes those who would again wan- der in spirit with Chaucer to Canter" bury. A youth hostel stands close by those romantic west country waters where John Ridd made strenuous love to Lorna Doone. From the mountains of Wales to the flats of East Anglia youth hostels await the wanderer. A youth hostel gives greeting in the wild's of . Dartmoor. At Gretna a youth hostel recalls the days when irate parents pursued eloping couples inte'"tin't on marrying, in haste and re- penting at leisure. In Scotland, too, hostels are spring- ing up rapidly. Last year 4,000 names were added to the membership of the Scottish Youth Hostels' Association. Five hostels already span the magic triangle of Ben L.oinond, Ben Ledi and Ben More. And the "open road," be it under- stood, is not the highway of the auto- mobile and the motorcycle. Ta the hiker such things are anathema. Armed with a one -inch ordance niap, he takes to. the by -road and field -path, ever sleeking fresh woods and pastures new. Kin of Shakespeare Imprisoned For Debt, Court Records Disclose Warwick, England, — Shakespeare's uncle, Henry, knew what it was to be a farmer .during hard times in England more than 300 years ago. Recently discovered Warwickshire court records disclose that farmer Shakespeare was detained in, prison for debt. He owed one John Blytii six pounds, 1.3 shillings and four pence for a yoke of .oxen, To add to the family troubles, neighbor pretended, after .)Ienry Shakespeare died, that the farmer was indebted to him, He went into the house of the dead man and "ransacked his coffers, tookaway corn and hay from his stables, and divers of his pos. session."
