They are interestiegly simple to make. Let us pause for a moment and con- sider the varieties we may choose from. Drop cookies belong to stiffer drop batters. Ice -box cookies and rolled cookies lie midway between the soft and stift doughs. The drop cookies may be of the but- ter or butterless type. In each ease the mixture is just stiff enough to drop by small sp.Qonfuls on to a greas- ed sheet, where they must hold their shape without spreading — wherefore it is evident that they are heavier than our usual drop batters. Woman's World Preparation General rules for cake -making - for the choosing of ingredients, pre- paration for cooking (by getting ready on the table all the ingredients and utensils, preparing tins and cake cool- ers, etc) — hold in a general way for cookies. Oven temperature may on occasion be higher for small than for large cakes, as they will have baked through more quickly and should not be cook- ed ooked so slowly as to dry them out. Be sure the oven bakes event, and avoid opening the door too often during baking, as this lowers the oven heat end slows up the cooking. And don't overbake cookies — many doughs that come from the oven soft, become crisp when cool. - TYPICAL ROLLED COOKIES Half cup shortening, 2e, cups flour 1 cup sugar, 3 teaspoons baking pow- der, 2 eggs, Ye teaspoon salt, 2 table- spoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon -vanilla.

Stuffed Heart A heart stuffed and .baked makes an appetising and inexpensive dish to vary meals, which are apt to become monotonous at this time of year. For a large family a beef heart is most suitable. Here is an easy recipe: Well wash the heart, removing gris- tle and membrane, and soak it in warm water for two hours. Drain and dry with a cloth. Make a forcemeat by mixing 1/2 cup together each of breadcrumbs and shredded suet, a pinch of salt, pepper a tablespoon mixed herbs the grated rind of half a lemon and a beaten egg. Cut through the middle of the heart to make a place for the forcemeat, then stuff and secure with tape or a needle and thread. Rub over with seasoned flour, place in a baking tin and smear with dripping. Bake in a moderate oven from two to four hours, according to size, bast- ing frequently with the fat. When cooked drain away the fat, pour a cup- ful of stock over the heart, then dish up and serve with red currant jelly. Kitchen Kinks Fresh lime kept in the cellar ab- sorbs moisture and freshens the cel- lar. A glass washboard is better than one made of zinc and it will last much longer. To make a hearth brush out of an old broom, soak the old broom in hot water and trim it short. Carbonated water will clean mir- rors quickly and without streaking. To improve the flavor of French dressing, add a little onion juice. Doughs that contain baking powder should be handled as little as possible. Agxoiunll The Norwegian motorship Tai Yin which grounded at Point Reyesr 30 miles north of San Francisco, in a fog is shown here just before a derrick and tugs refloated it. To open a glass bottle with a glass topper, light a match near the topper. The bottle will open immediately, and very easily. Paint and mortar spots may be re- moved from windows with hot vinegar. If they are stubborn use turpentine and sand. Beware of too much bluing in the water in which you rinse your white goods. It will yellow them in time. Walt Cryderman's Horse The Toronto Globe carries a special despatch from Thamesville on its front page recently, to the effect that a 20 -year-old horse, owned by Walter Cryderman of that town, can pump itself a drink of water, and that re- liable witnesses have seen it perform. To -the average individual this reads like a tall story, but to those who know Thamesville and also Walt. Cryderman, there is nothing wonder- ful about it, Thamesville has put it- self on the map on many occasions. During the war it did anything and everything that was asked of it, even to entertaining a whole battalion to supper in the skating rink on five hours' notice. Its star performance,. however, was in connection with the 1917 Victory Loan. The canvassers started out at one minute after mid- night the morning the campaign op- ened and routing citizens out of` bed. At one o'clock they had telephoned is the Toronto morning papers that they had already doubled their allotment. Walt. Cryderman has been village clerk, auctioneer, race horse authority and general counsellor to the village for well over a quarter of a century. He loves animals and training them is a hobby with him. Years ago he had a dog that could smoke a cigar, tell the time, go for the mail and do many other wonderful things. The 20 -year- old horse that can pump itself a drink of water' used to be well-known on the tracks of Ontario and Michigan, and won many a trotting race against hot compet`aon. Knowing Walt. area knowing the horse, we are not sur- prised that it pumps itelf a drink of water, but we are rather disappointed that it does not get into the horse trough and bath itself, comb its own hair, and plait its own tail. Walt. is either getting lazy or the old horse too stiff. Persian Philosopher Says We Carry Too Many Responsibilities ,.-Kansas City, Mo.—Women in Amer- ica are too busy to be beautiful, R. Avron Kartyshai, Persian philosopher, declared recently. "They allow themselves too little time to develop their personalities," he opined. "They have too much re- sponsibility to be truly happy, and this affects their appearance." G. B. S. Trapped Asks Leave to Use Name for Patent Medicine and Gets Reply Detroit. George Bernard Shaw, engaged in battle with an American autograph hunter and, came out loser, it was revealed here. Senneth R. MacDonald, Detroit resi- dent who has been collecting auto- graphs for years, wrote a polite letter requesting an autograph. No reply came. MacDonald became angry. Af- ter a few days of thought, he wrote a letter relating that MacDonald had organized a company for the sale of a new vegetable compound, a cure for digestive troubles. After asking Shaw's permission to use his name in marketing the compound, MacDonald said that failure to reply would be taken as assent. The autograph hunter did not have long to wait. Within a week a hot letter, written in longhand on an ob- long white card was received from Shaw. The letter read, .Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 26th ult., if you attempt to use my name in the manner proposed I shall cer- tainly take every Iegal step iu me power to restrain you, and to warn the public that I know nothing of your remedy.

PARALLEL PASSAGES-- Mark 9 : 18-50; 10 : 13-16; Luke 9 : 46-50 18 : 1517. • "In that hour came the disciples un- to Jesus" The reference is back to the incident of the temple tax which Christ had paid by working a mir- acle. "Saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? "He did not go to the world's weal- thy, or the ecclstiastically prominent, but to the humble fisher folk, the pub- licans, and sinners and otherwise common people. From these he select- ed the men whose names would be the first in the kingdom of God in all ages to some." "And he called to him a little child" It must have been the child of one of these men and playing about in its% own home and quite accustomer to be- ing noticed by Jesus. "And set him in the mirst of them" Releasing the Iittle one, Christ then placed him in the centre of the angry inquiring men. "And said, Verily I say unto you." Verily is literally amen. It is Christ's common way of calling attention to an utterance of special importance. "And become as little children." The world has always been waiting for the childlike mind and heart to save it from itself. Faithfully, (Sgd.) G. Bernard Shaw. MacDonald wrote a letter of thanks for the coveted autograph. Hanging a Door I watched him as he set about work— A quiet man, with an of skill. He planed the door and edges true; The several tools he used to set hinges firm That they might smoothly turn to welcome in Those things which come to. me, and close against What need not enter my secluded room. All day, he planed and trimmed, and cut the wood To take retiring squares held fast With stable screws; with deft .,exact- ness drilled The slender inner box that holds the lock. All day, he cut and shaped— ordered made his air the the of bronze smoothed and And at my desk, in fresh humility And peace, I meditated on my task; And cut and planed and filed, that other doors Might safely open wide and firmly close -. .. ,Nelllie B. Mace. joy over his ultimate safety. "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that .one of these little ones should perish." Christ has projected into history, in./ to religion, into the ministry, the cominanding, alluring figure of -the Good Shepard. "Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray." It appeara that it was customary for Jewish in- fants to be taken to the synagogue toff be blessed by the rabbi. "But Jesus said." Perhaps with a look of indignation directoward the meddlesome disciples, certainly with a glad smile of welcome for the par- ents and their children. "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not; to come unto me," Our Lord is so earnest in the matter that he puts it both positively and negatively. "For to such belongeth the kingdom of hea- ven." To such—to those who are hums ble, simple and innocent, like little children. "And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence." His work watt done, when he blessed the little child, rem He may have come to work some great miracle or perhaps some sub,' lime discourse, but in touching the souls of those little children, and im• planting there the love'of God, he had preached the mightiest of all sermons Diet Which Kills Germs Discovere St. Petersburg, Fla. —= Discovery the Mayo clinic of a diet which th human body uses to manufacture it own germ killing chemicals is report to the American Chemical Society b by A. E. Osterberg, M.D. These "home-made" germicides ac( the same as healing drugs, but are more effective because they originate within the body, where it is difflculi to reach with medicines. These particular diet germicides limit their healing action so far as now known to one tract of the body, They begin work in the system whic]i starts with the kidneys and extends down through the bladder. 777a—ill in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven." The kingdom of heaven very seldom, in the Gospel means glory. It is the real, innner spiritual, church -state, of which hea- ven, commonly so called, is the cli- max and the final development. "Whosoever therefore shell humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- ven•" The beginning of the ministry of Christ, as also the beginning of the church of Christ, had something of the charm of childhood. How completely indeed are the children of God described in Scrip- ture as representing the character of childhood fully developed, and with mature strength, steadiness, and con- stancy added to the quick sense of sin, the strong wish for pardon! "But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble." Hinder his progress in the Christian life, There are many ways of doing it, by Sneers at religion, by setting a bad example, by suggesting doubts, by living a careless life, as well as by definitely leading the boys and girls to do evil. "It is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged a- bout his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea." The Jews used two kinds of millstones, one, a small one, turned by the hand of women, and the other, a large one such as Christ, here mentions, so hea- vy that it must be turned around on the lower millstone by an ass driven in a circle. "How think ye? Or rather What think ye? "If any man have a hun- dred sheep." A large flock, as is Christ's, but not too large for the Shepherd to have individual care, "And one of them be gone astray." This one thought—lost! runs like a sad undertone beneath all of our Lord's earthly ministry, "Doth he not leave the ninety and nine?" Leave them in the care of un- der shepherds or in the safe fold. "And go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? Rich as the shepherd is with bis safe -fold- ed ninety and nine, he must seek the solitary lamb which has strayed away "And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you." Another of Christ's emphases, showing the exceeding de- light in heaven over the redemption of a single Iost soul. "He rejoiceth over it more than ov- er the ninety and nine which have not gone astray." The greater peril one has passed through, the greater the Gigantic Argentine Oil Deal Is Reported LONDON.—One of the biggest oft: deals in years is about to be complet ed between the Royal Dutch Compane and the Argentine Government, invoi. ving millions of pounds sterling, it was learned reliably last week. Under the deal, the Royal Dutch is to take over the entire Argentine state-owned oil gelds known as the "Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscaies,' as well as huge new concessions ie Northern Argentina. It was understood that the plan in. chides the payment of, a huge lump sunt to the Argentine Government be the Royal Dntch concern in return fol. the concessions, which will be operat- ed on a 50-50 profit-sharing basis. Budget to Confirm Or Settle Electio]il Ottawa, April 14.—Rumors of a gen era). election this year will either bi confirmed or set at rest, it is expecte( by the Rhodes budget to be presenter soon after the Easter recess. The is troduction of so much advance legis lation at this session, and the prom's( of more, has strengthened the opia ions of those who believe an electiol is imminent. Chips Supply Gas Makes Them Carbon .EUGENE. Ore.,—A new method al making charcoal, which works on the principle of both "keeping your cake and eating it," was announced recent ly at the University of Oregon. A stream of chipped wood is fel into a new type of rotating cylinder Heat drives the gases out of the wood and these gases are burned to make the cylinder hot enough to carbonize the wood, A little "starting" heat Is required but most of it is supplied by the woos chips which are turning into carbon The process was invented by Prof. u F. Stafford, head of the chemistry de partment.
