Housewives are ever alert to econ-
omize without sacrifice of quality and
food value. One sof the best methods
of cooking a cheap cut and retaining
the juices of both vegetables and the
meat is to use thecasserole method.
Mere is a delicious casserole recipe:
Casserole With Vegetables

to 2 cups diced carrots, 2 cups diced
- potatoes, % cup diced turnip, 1 large
onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon

In the onion through them. Season

meat. Continue layer for layer of
meat and vegetables until all is used.
Add boiling water, cover closely, and

The long cooking and the vinegar
break down th tough tissues of the
meat and leave it very palatable and
'nourishing.

Casserole of Liver

By Mair ' M: Morgan
mashed potatoes, salt, 11/2 teaspoon
powdered sago, 3 bouillon cubes, 1 eon
water.
Fry liver .and bacon to light brown
color. Add onions to bacon fat and
brown, Line casserole "with mashed
potato, put in alternate layers of
bacon, liver and onions. Sprinkle with
seasonings. Dissolve bouillon cubes
in hot water and pour over contents
of casserole, covering all with layer of
mashed potato. Bake 1 hour in moder-
ate oven. Serves six. Beef liver may
be used for this recipe.
Turnip and Sousage
Too many people spurn the yellow
turnip without ever giving it a chance.
Pare a large turnip, cut into cubes,
boil until tender and mash as you
would potatoes, seasoning with salt
and pepper and adding a lump of but-
ter and half cup of cream. Pour into
a buttered casserole and cover with
a generous layer of sausage meat.
Bake until the sausage is a nice
brown.
Satisfying Stew
These cold days call for substantial
meals and there is nothing like a well
seasoned stew to give one" a well-fed
feeling.
We use all kinds of meat for stews,
even to left -overs. Beef, veal, lamb,
mutton, pork, ham, fresh and salted
fist bring infinite variety to the one-
time plebian dish.
Dumplings add distinction to all
stews, but particularly to one made
of veal. Lamb stew gains much from
canned peas. A savoury combination
of onions, canned tomatoes and macar-
oni makes a dish made from remnants
of cold roasts pleasantly appetizing.
Carrots provide color when other
means of garnishing are not at hand.
A few mushrooms give the final touch
that makes a real feast out of plain
fare, Remember that dried mushrooms
may be substituted when fresh ones
are riot at hand.
Veal Stew
One and one-half pounds lean veal,
3 medium sized potatoes, 1 cup small
whole mushrooms, i/a-• cup shredded
sweet green pepper, 2 ounces, 2 tea-
spoons salt, V4 teaspoon pepper, 4 cups
boiling water, flour.,
Trim fat from meat and put into
a frying pan over a low fire until fat
is fried out. ` Remove crisp "crack-
lings: Cut the meat in small pieces
and roll in flour. Brown with onion
cut in thin slices in the hot fat in the
frying pan. Turn into a deep sauce
pan or kettle. Pour boiling water into
frying Y g Pau and then pour over meat.
Cover closely and simmer for two
hours. Add potatoes pared and cut
in neat dice, salt and pepper, shredded
sweet pepper and mushrooms and
cook 30 minutes longer. It may be
necessary to add more water during
the cooking period, but there should
be 3 cups water over the stew when
vegetables are tender. Thicken with
2 tablespoons flour stirred to a smooth
paste with water' after the dumplings
have been cooked.
Dumplings
One and one-half cups flour, 3 tea-
spoons baking powder, 1/ teaspoon
salt, about�'4 cup milk or water.
Mix and sift flour, salt and baking
powder. Add milk slowly, cutting it
in with a knife. Drop from tip of
spoon into boiling stew. Cover the
kettle closely and boil gently for 12
minutes without lifting the cover. Re-
move to a hot platter and keep warm
while making the gravy. Put ,stew
around, not over,
dumplings ngsand serve
at once.

Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur-
nished With Every 'Patter -rt
Numberless schemes look well in
this model. It's stunning as pictured
in black crepe maroeain with tur-
quoise blue trim.
Then again, if you are thinking of
a color, bottle green, wine red, wild
blackberry, ell -grey, etc., in silk or
lightweight woolen are attractive sug-
gestions.
And you have only to note its
length -giving wrapped effect and bias
skirt seams, its flattering jabot collar
that disguises bodice breadth and the
slimming sleeves to realize how slen-
der and charming you'll look in this
dress.
Style No. 3216 is designed for sizes
36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches

"But lay up for yourselves treas-

press some of your money from earth
to heaven, give it to those who need.
.And if you have no money to give,
you can give friendship and loving

thieves do not break through nor

is recognized and admitted into the

Sound, seeing objects singly, and clear-
ly, and dinstinctly, instead of multiply-
ing them, as in certain unsound states,
confusedly and indeterminately. "Thy
whole body shall be full of light." The
soul's eye must be single and the
singleness of motive and desire must
spring from the superhuman energy
that comes to use from the spirit -
given love of Jesus Christ.
"But if thine eye be evil (that is,
diseased), thy whole body shall be full
of darkness." All about us are sights
and visions of eternal truths and beau-
ties which we have not seen. We have
not, by prayer and Bible study and
meditation and Christian service culti-
vated the spiritual capacity. "If there-
fore the light that is in thee be dark-
ness, how great is the darkness!" The
whole passage is a warning against
the danger of worldliness, against the
blinding, bewildering effect of wealth
and comfort.

pzoxideth for the morrow,"
"And which of you by being anxious
can add ane cubit unto the measure
of his life?" Christ's question points
opt the useless:ess of worry. It can-.
not change things,except for the
worse,
"And why are ye anxious concern-
ing raiment? Consider tee lilies of
the. field, bow they grow." Palestine
in. a land of flowers. Some think the
flower to which Christ referred to was
the Scarlet Turk's Cap; others that
it was the red ai,einone. "They toil
not, neither do they spin." It was
because God was love to Jesus Christ,
that when he went abroad into the
world of nature, he saw God and his
kingdom in the birds, and in the thou-
sand lilies of the field.
"Yet I say unto you, that even Solo-
mon in all his glory *as not arrayed
like one of these." We aught to be
able to rejoice in those parts of the
creation whch were desgned especially
to give us delight.
"But if God doth so clothes the
grass of the field." Including, of
course, the many flowers growing amid
the grass. "Which to -day is, and to-
morrow is oast into the oven." Fire-
wood is so scarce in Palestine that
even in our day the people heat their
ovens for baking bread with dry grass
from the fields. "Shall he not much
more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?"
If the lilies of the field are so beauti-
ful, what will be the beauty of the
'white garments of the saints!
"Be not therefore anxious, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What,shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothe"?" AlI the worry that ever
got itself accomplished in this weary,
worrying world; all the sleepless
nights, all the burdened days, all the
joyless, mirthless, peace -destroying,
health -destroying, happiness -destroy-
ing, love -destroying hours that men
and women have ever in all earth's
centuries given to worry, never
wrought one good thing.
"For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek." The heathen may be
pardoned for their anxious lives, for
they have not the knowledge of a
loving heavenly Father; but we, bo
whom this knowledge has been given,
are without excuse if we worry. "For
our heavenly Father knoweth that ye
have need of all these things." Food,
drink, clothing, `shelter, these are es-
sential to God's creatures. They should
never fret about things essential, be-
cause God knows they have need of
these things.
"But seek ye first his kingdom, and
his righteousness." Jesus teaches that
the kingdom of God is so beautiful and
worth so much to a man, that if he
really catches sight of it, he will be
ready to give up everything else for it.
"And all these things shall be added
unto you." Here is the plus principle
in daily living. With the kingdom of
God in the heart, the plus process be-
gins in life.
Georgia's •Federal Relief
Under a Woman Dictator
Atlanta.—Federal relief and civil
works administration in Georgia are
now under a woman dictator.
Miss Gay B. Shepperson, middle-
aged welfare worker, succeeded Gov-
ernor Talmadge's board of five on or-
ders from Harry Hopkins, Federal ad-
ministrator at Washington.
Reorganization of federal relief in
Georgia resulted from an open break
between the governor and Hopkins
which started a short time ago when
Talmadge severely criticized the pay
of civil works employees. At that
time the got'ernor charged that civil
work pay was demoralizing farm la-
bor. Hopkins replied that Talmadge
was just a "headline hunter."
Miss Shepperson declined comment
on assuming office.

Parents Are inclined to Expec
Almost Perfection in
Their Children
There is such a thing as setting tot
high a standard' for a Child.
When human .nature has its way
and be constantly falls short of perfec
tion, nothing will breed in him a sense
of inferiority, more quickly.
We lay down a long order for oui
children. They must he obedient'
truthful, neat, clean, studious, quiet,
gentle, polite, generous energetic, hells
fol, kind, brave and patient.
This is a decalogue plus. Can wt
and do -we always live up to it our.
selves? No. And with our years 01
experience and control we are in bet.
ter condition to do so, or at least wi
should be, than they are.
Mistakes Are Inevitable
Childhood is happy-go-lucky and it
responsible. It is the time for learn.
ing everything including the virtues.
A student of anything whether it be
painting, wood -finishing, golf, or life,
has to begin at scratch and make mis.
takes as he goes.
In no other craft do we expect per-
fection, but ye do expect it of children
learning the lessons of character day
by day.
It is all right to have a standard and
to work toward it. This is wbat all
standards are for, but if in the strive
ing mistakes are made it is not quite
fair or wise for the mentor to criticize
too sharply. It is very discouraging.
True, a few stout souls work beteg
under the gnout, but most people and
most children are sensitive and fait.
Once self-confidence is lost, all Is
lost. But more bitter still in the heart
of a child is the feeling that others ars
disappointed in him.
Not only that, but another sting lies
in this—he may be averaging 80 pet
cent. in all the "good" things we hart
decided he must be. But usually he'
gets little credit for it. The thingd
he seems to be judged by are the other
fifth that he fails in. 1
It he is scolded or punished or rids:
culed for this 20 per cent. in his bitter.;
ness and humiliation, he may decide
that the rest does not matter. He's
told that he is no good. He believes
it and stops trying.
Develops Inferiority Complex
The worst of almost any system of
unfair discipline and punishment
that the child believes he is worst
than he is. Not all children, for a fern
do survive, and either by fear or sheet
will power, turn the reprimand to ac
count. But the opposite is too often
the case.
We must be trainers, of course. All
parents find themselves in this post•
tion whether they like it or not, and
training takes firmness as well as kind,
ness.
But it also take
sa
t ct and '
�udg
ment of infinite depth and soundness.
If we notice that our boy or girl is dis•
couraged we might do well to ask our'
selves if we are not expecting too
much. And give him the credit he
deserves.
Sometimes I wonder, if weighed by
the same scales, how many parents
would find themselves on the high end.
Often fathers or mothers have a long
way to go before attaining anything
like the standard they set for their
own children.
• Christmas Tree Trade
It has been officially estimated that
there have been 500 carloads of
Christmas trees shipped from the for.
ests of Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns•
wick and Nova Scotia to cities in Cam
ada and the United States for Mt
Christmas season. This trade is no
doubt profitable 1 e to the farmers and
others having trees for sale, but ono
wonders what effect the destruction
of these young trees at such a ratl
will have on the forests of Canada hi
the years to come. Everyone, of
course, likes a beautifully decorated
and illuminated Christmas tree, i(
fact the joy of the season around th(
fireside would be scarcely compiet(
without this traditional emblem of .
good will and festivity. It is a ques
tion, however, that ought to be fully
investigated by the federal autboritiet
from an economic point of view,..•
