Time seems to fly faster in the kit- elten than any, other place, and if one takes one's eyes from the vegetables ou the Stove, they take it upon there• selves to burn. The beet of cooks occasionally makes mistakes, but her true art Is shown by her ability to turn the fail- ure into a stlecees. Any vegetable that bee just started to burn may be placed—in its cook- ing pan—into a larger pan of cold water. The vegetable then should be shaken out of the burned pan into a fresh pan or bowl, leaving any scor- ched material Mahe pan. If not suffi- ciently cooked, a little boiling water may be added and the cooking finish- ed. Season and serve as usual. If things have not gone too far, most of the vegetable may be served with- out a taint of buret, Shaking Instead of Stirring. A precaution for the new cook is that, of shaking the sauce pan in which a vegetable is cooking. Often the smoeth-cut, fiat surface of a vegetable sticks and burns before the water is cooked. Shaking prevents this with- out crushing the vegetable as stirring might do. Potatoes and sliced carrots are examples of vegetables that often scorch because of this flat surface. Too much salt has often spoiled the soup. A remedy for this is to add from baif a cup to a whole cup of sliced raw potatoes to the kettle of soup. Let stand ten or fifteen minutes, remove potatoes and serve. The potatoes absorb the excess salt. Mayonnaise and Custard. If the mayonnaise separates put another egg yolk M a fresh bowl and slowly beat in the curdled dressing, continuing as usual until all the lemon juice and oil are used. If a custard sauce curdles, beat it well with a dover beater. This same beater will beat the lumps out of .white sauce that has been made in too Wye a hurry. If the sauce is very lumpy it can be rubbed through a fine sieve and reheated. If the breakfast cereal contrived to lunip despiteavigorous stirring a heavy wire' whisk or a strong dover beater will beat out the lumps and make the cereal appetizingly smooth. Curdled Soup. A tomato cream soup that shows an inclination: to curdle. may be con- verted Into a thick tomato puree by adding butter and flour rubbed to- gether in the proportion of 1 table- spoon butter and 1 tablespoou flour to each cup of soup. Otte tablespoon of fine sifted soda cracker crumbs added to each cup of soup will correct the tendency to curdle, too. A gelatine jelly that refuses to stif- fen in the required length of time may be hurried if more gelatine is soften - ailed In cold water, dissolved over hot water and added at once to the stubborn jelly. If jam becomes hard and sugary be- fore it is used up, place it in a mod- erate oven until the sugar melts. When cool thejam is almost as good as new. HOW TO BEAT. Most housewives have an aversion to any article to be cooked that re- quires lengthy beating as it is so tiring, Try to remember to beat ,from the elbow and do not use the whole arm in the motion. It is far less tiring. A GOOD FRIEND, Vinegar is a very good friend, both in the kitchen, dining room, and the cleaning cupboard. Rub vinegar on tannastained cups and teapots. Add some to water when cleaning carpets and bow it brings up the color. A vinegir compress applied to sprains is most soothing. A raw egg in 'vinegar is streuigthenine, 'for a weak throat. Two tablespoielfuls add- ed to the rinsing water on washing day will give a nine finish to silk stockings and underwear. A few drops of vinegar will soften the taughest meat. To whiten arti- chokes and leeks, add a. little vinegar to the water you plunge them into as therare scraped. •The unpleasant smell of greens cooking will be avoided if a little (11111....inrocenvossOuratmossmummesome 11.1••••••••.*...... tea - the see vinegar is .added to the boiling water. When eggs are high priced, two tea- spoons of vinegar used in place of an egg will Improve the lightness of a cake, Add a teaspoonful to the water in Which you boil preserved eggs and they will not crack. When dyeing colored articles,add a little vinegar to the dye, and put some in the rinsing waters. This helps to make the colors fast. Pour a little vinegar into a discol- ored decanter or glass bottle; it will soon remove the fur. 'It is also excel- lent for polishing windows. TAPIOCA MERINGUE, Here is a way of cooking tapioca, so that what is "good for the children" will be liked, too. Soak two tablespoons of tapioca in cold water overnight.. Next day, bring to the boil, sweeten to taste, and add sufficient milk to make the mix- ture into a thick cream. Flavor with lemon rind, nutmeg or a few drops of vanilla, then leave to cool. Add the yollts of two eggs and pour into a pie dish smeared with a little jam. Whisk the' whites of the eggs with a teaspoon of sugar, pile on top top of the pudding, then bake in a slow oven until slightly browned. PLENTY OF FAT. The Success of frying articles dip- ped in egg and cracker almost always depends upon having plenty of fat in the pan, and that very hot. In hotels, the fat is so deep that there is no need to turn the article to brown on all sides. After cooking, the remain- ing fat may be strained into a glass jar and kept for future use, so it really is not as extravagant as it sounds. BATHING DE LUXE. "Cleanliness is next to godliness"— the old saying goes—and modern wo- men agree. For there is nothing in the world which makes you feel any better and more relaxed than a warn: bath. Present day women go a step fur- ther by saying that bathing is a real pleasure, providing you have the ne- cessary toilet and bathroom acces- sories close at hand. It some one gave you a nice big box of bath powderfor Christmas, and you happen to love the odor of it, why not match the scent with toilet water, soap and bath salts? There is something about baying bathtpg things which really match that makes every woman a little happier. Is your bathroom equipped with a long -handled bath brush? You really need one for your back. Aud you need a little flat brush too—for nails, feet and the like. Wash cloths should be rough and soap should lather easily no matter how hard or soft the water is in your particular locality. Many girls prefer toilet water to bath powder. And some use both. Bath oils vie with bath salts for favor tbis New Year. Whichever one you choose, your daily bath will be more of a joy because of it, 0 1.6.66.6( be used In ninny other ways. As a condiment, for example, to ,season steaks and chops and fish. All egg miXtures, custard, souffles and puddings, should be baked in an oveu at a low temperature. It the heat rises above 850 degrees you will not have good luck with any con- coction containing eggs, Baked potatoes are more delectable when rubbed with a vegetable oil or lard before baking. A.°small amount of either lard or oil in the centre of the palm is sufficient to prepare a dozen small potatoes. Potatoes baked in this way aro easily peeled for fry- ing purposes. ' Beef liver cam be made very much like calves' liver if soaked over night in sour milk. -Beets With Onions. Four cups diced cooked beetsn, efi teaspoons salt, 1 cup coarsely chopped onion, 1 cup boiling water, Arrange beets and onion in a greas- ed casserole. Add the salt and boiling Water, cover tightly and bake in enod- erate over 375 deg., about 45 minutes, If raw beets are used bake for an hour. Julienne Beets. Wash and cook large-sized beets in their skins until tender. Remove skins and cool the beets. Cut cross- wise slices one-eighth inch thick, then cut these slices into Julienne strips the long way of the slices. When ready to serve them, re -heat the strips in butter, season with bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper. PAINFUL CHILBLAINS. In spite of precautions, some people are unlucky enough to get chilblains. . Provided you begin in time, it is sufficient to bathe them in very hot water, then dry the skin thoroughly by dabbing with a soft towel. Do not rub or you may break the skin. If the chilblain is of long standing it often gives relief to paint the part with iodine every other day. Where the skin has broken, there is some clanger of septic poisoning of the wound. Carbolic ointment helps in these cases. Dressings should not be applied un- less the skin is iiroken. Great care must be taken where the toes are affected, because a -bulky dressing in- creases the pressure inside the shoe. 1...••••••••••• HOUSEHOLD HINTS. .Never trust to your memory when putting anything away for storage.

Sea of Gal- oiGali ywhen he heard that John was delivered up.” 'It was an act of deep- est treachery, against which John the Baptist.was compelled to preach, and this preaehing was punished by Anti - pas, who seized John and shut him up in the gloomy prison -palace of Mach- mrus,east of the Dead Sea. John languished there in a black dungeon for a .year, "Ile withdrew into Gali- lee." We are left to conjecture why our Lord withdrew from Judma and went northward to Galilee. What a marvelous feeling it is to slip into a charmingly simple dress like today's pattern. The pleasure is almost indescribable! This adorable Paris model is black faille crepe. Its only adtornment is a modern buckle that fastens the par- tial belt at the back. Note the sleeves open to show the upper arms. Quite formal looking dresses have such items now.

"All the sorrow in the world cannot sink a 'person unless it gets inside the mind."—Mary Pickford. "And leaving Nazareth," He re- ttirned there, after an evangelistic tour of Galilee, a famous man. But he saw that they were eager to wit- ness a miracle, and he refused point blank.,Thereupon their admiration turned nstantly to rage. They seized him and bore him to a lofty bluff near the town from which .they were ready to hurl him headlong; but with ma- jestic mien he passed through the mob, those angry men falling back before his .royal gaze, and so he left Nazar- eth with a sad heart. "He came and dwelt in Capernaurn." The word means "the village of Nahum" or'of consolation." "Which is by the sea." Capernaum was on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the pro- phet." Another of Matthew's charac- teristic parallels of prophecy and fact, taken from Isa. 9: 1, 2. "Galilee of the Gentiles." This was true in the time of Isaiah because so near to Phoenicia and Syria. In B.C. 164 Simon Maccabmus had carried the Jews out of Galilee (1 Macc. 5: 23). Many had later gone back, but it re- mained partly a Gentile country. "The people that sat in darkness saw a great light." The people in all this region, represented as in darkness and ignorance, and with little religious life or light, now had Jesus, "the true light," to fill their hearts with heaven- ly truth. "And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, to them did light spring , up." He who came to seek and to save that which is lost, fixed in this remote and des- pised section of the Holy Land the centre of his labors, and here chose most of the apostles who were to carry his teachings to Judsa and Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). "From that time began Jesus to preach." He had been preaching in Jridsa for a year, but here begins a new epoch in his teaching. "And to say, Repent ye." From the beginning to the end of the New Testament, in eterl, Gospel, in every Epistle, men are given to understand that they re before Almighty God sinners. Tor the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Entering into the kingdom of heaven is rising out of those conditions of ani- mal life which imply violence, selfish- ness, cruelty, appetite and lust, into those conditions which imply purity, honor, truth, fidelity, faith, hop' and love. "And walking by ,the. Sea of Gali- lee." The Sea of Galilee is the largest body of water in the Hely Land. "He saw two brethren." Among the twelve disciples were two and possibly three sets of brothers. "Simon who is called Peter." Simon was a very common name in Palestine, the Hebrew form being Simeon. "And Andrew his bro- ther." Andrew of. a quiet, modest man, associated L. the Gospels with the discovery of others and bringing them to Jesus. "Casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers." Our Lord chose for his followers humble men, lowly toilers and not the power- ful and learned of the earth. "And he saith unto them, Come ye after me." The first summons,by the Jordan, was a eall to discipleship; this was more, it was a call to companion- ship, a summons to abandon their ordinary 'Work and take up with Jesus the work of evangelism, a call to full- time service. "And' I will make you fishers of men." The art of catching men resembles in many points the art of catching fish. You must know men in their classes and individualities, you must know their haunts, you must know their conditions, you must under- stand how to approach thein. "And going on f.:om thence." The great haul of fishes was attended to, and our Lord passed farther along the beach. "Be saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee." He became the first martyr among the Twelve, "And John his brother." This was the John who became the disciple whom Jesus loved. "In the boat with Zeb- edee their father." We are told no- thing about Zebedee except that his wifeeas Salome. "Mending their nets; and he called them." ao AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER thiliNt's THAT - A .. DoTTLC. oF BR? _ . . ...... . No?E..

Cures Reported In Ulcer Cases Amazing Results Reported sa Medical Association Meeting Cambridge, Mass, — Spectacular re coveries from stomach ulcers have been accomplished by treatment re miniseent of tlie "day by day in ever3 way I am getting better and bettert nostrum of Dr, Datil Coue, it was re ported to the 93rd annual meeting of the American Association for the Ad. vancement of Science. The amazing cures were attested tc by four Columbia University psychol ogists and physicians, ene of whom, Dr. M; N. Chappell, himself recovered, by the use of psychology, from a pep. tic ulster which had resisted ordinary treatment over a period of 16 years, he said. Those assisting him in the experiments were Doctors J. J, Stef ano, J. S. Rogerson, and F. H, Pike all of whom signed the report. Symptoms of his ulcerous condition which included hemorrbage, vanished six weeks atter he had attended leo tures by Dr. Rogerson on the influ ence of ideas in the control of organ- isms, Dr. Chappell testified. He and the other scientists then embarked oe a seris of carefully planned experi mnts intended to determine if his re covery had been due merely to chance A total of 52 persons completed tli experiment, 20 of whom were divided into -a control group which received only ordinary medical attention. Thi remaining 32 comprised the experi mental group, treated solely througb psychology. The psychology treatment consisted in part of lectures, which dealt with the relation between the activities ce the brain of the organism as a whole At the end of each lecture the sub jects were given a drink of cold water after which they closed their eyet while the experimenter made a num ber of general suggestions covering mastication, digestion, absorption elimination, sleep, disturbing ideas, re covery from bodily ills, self confidence and the efficacy of experimental mea sures. The subjects were not permitted le discuss any phase of their organic dis orders or any other disturbing condi tions except with Dr, Stefano. They were directed to turn their attention to pleasant memories whenever they found themselves dwelling on theta disorders. They gave themselves sug gestions aloud each uight before re tiring. At the end of six weeks all but tvie of the experimental group were eating everything they desired. Of these tw one showed no appreciable improve ment throughout the six weeks no: subsequently. The second was so wet satisfied with his progress that he we; unwilling to branch out on his diet at rapidly as the psychologist recent. mended. At the end of two months he was eating anything he wanted. Only one of the 31 reported cured by the experiment had a serious recce- renee after three months. One could not he located for subsequent exam Marion. The remainder were found free of all objective and subjective symptome. "And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him." They did not leave their father alone to do the work, for he had hired serv- ants with him. "And Jesus went about in all Gali- lee." Galilee was then very thickly populated. "Teaching in their syna- gogues." Christ was everywhere known as The Teacher. "And preach- ing the gospel of the kingdom." The two words "glad tidings" are combined in the Saxon word "gospel." "And healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people." In Christ's great strife with evil, it was bodily pain and disease which he made the special object of his personal work on earth. "And the report of him went forth into all Syria." Syria was the Roman province to the north of Palestine. "And they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied." Today, as of old, Palestine is quite ignorant of the medical art, and the sufferings )2 her''sick people are unrelieved. "And there followed him great mul- titudes." Note the plural, not just one crowd, but crowds. "From Gali- lee and Decapolis." The name means the Ten Cities because the region con- tained ten prominent towns. "And Jerusalem and Juchea." From the farthest south of Palestine they brought their .ick up to Galilee. "And from beyond the Jordan." That is, from the region to the east of the Jor- dan and the Dead Sea, Perma, a coun- try joined with Galilee in the tet- rarchy of Herod Antipas.

Swallow Chokes Motor One of those swallows that does not make a summer tried to stop a British tri -motored airplane recently by flying down the air intake of one engine on a Right between Batavia and Java. That particular power plant quit "cold," but the pilot went on for 40 miles on the other two.
