String beans are Monotonous if ser- ved time and time again in the same style, Why not treat them with a little imagination and dress them up occasionally. These recipes are simple, but delicious. String Beans and Tomatoes. One pound string beans; one pound tomatoes; one onion; one-eighth tea- spoon ginger; two tablespoons short- ening; grated lemon rind; one-half teaspoon salt. Brown the sliced onion in the fat, add the skinned whole tomatoes and raw beans. Cook in a covered enamel sauce -pan until tender, add seasonings and serve. If the tomato is not juicy enough acid a few tablespoons of hot water during cooking. French String Beans. Two tablespoons bacon fat or but- ter; one pound string beans; one-half " teaspoon salt; one-half teaspoon pep- per. Wash and string the beans and cut lengthwise two or three times. Cook in boiling water until tender, then drain. Heat in the hot butter or fat and seasonings and serve at once. Sweet, Pungent String 'Beans. One pound beans, two tablespoons butter; one teaspoon sugar; one- fourth teaspoon ginger; one-half tea- spoon salt; one-eighth teaspoon pep- per; one-half teaspoon lemon juice; one-fourth cup bouillon. Wash beans and cut lengthwise or in two-inch lengths. Par boil for 30. minutes, then drain. Melt butter in sance pan, ,add seasonings and cook until butter is absorbed. Then add lemon juice and bouillon and simmer until beans are tender. String Bean Salad. One pound cold cooked beans; two tablespoons vinegar; four tablespoons oil; one-half teaspoon each of salt and pepper; a few grains of paprika. Place the cold cooked beans in a bowl and add vinegar.

Beets and turnips give iron to the blood. Tomatoes stimulate a torpid liver. Celery is good for rheu- matic people. Beetroots are nourish- ing and laxative. BANANA ICE CREAM First press some good, ripe bana- nas through seive to make two:thirds cup smooth pulp. To this add two- thirds cup sugar, few grains of salt, two tablespoons lesion juke. 'Then fold in one and one-half cups whip- ping cream (first whipped mediun- stiff)-. Freeze in electric refrigerator, stirring from front to back every hour till frozen. Or freeze in crank freezer. (For a less rich cream, use one and one-half cups light cream instead of heavy cream. Or one cup heavy cream and one-half cup milk). SOFTENING COOKIES To aid in keeping cookies soft, ;place a cloth rinsed out of cold water across the top of the jar before the lid is placed. COOKING VEGETABLES Time tables for roasting and bak- ing and brewing and stewing have been worked out in kitchen labora- tories which the beginner in cooking will find invaluable, but there are factors to be- considered in the cook- ing of meats and vegetables that time tables cannot specify. For in- stance the varying maturity, time from the garden and size of ma- terials. '1'o begin with generalizations. A11 young, freshly gathered vegetables will cook in less time than older e ones. Vegetables which have wilted 11 will take longer tp cook than un - withered ones, Small vegetables or large ones cut in small pieces will cook more quickly than those left whole. The more sur- face exposed, the shorter the cooking period.• Cooking Green Peas Then the time required for prepar- ing vegetables for cooking must be considered in the planning of the whole meal. Ftir example, green peas should cook in twenty minutes. But if they must be shelled they are not a good vegetable to choose when dinner must be served in thirty min- utes because it takes time to shell peas, longer than preparing beans or potatoes. Aside from this if they are not fresh from the garden and per- fectly young and tender, they won't be done in twenty minutes, but will take thirty. Asparagus cooks in thirty minutes and is quickly prepared. Green beans, this means either the green or yel- low beans, should cook in thirty min- utes if they are fresh and young and cut in diamonds. If beans break with a snap you may be pretty certain they are fresh and tender. Older beans should have their edges cut in short lengths because as the beans mature the "strings" are sure to toughen and require a 'long .time to cook. Remember to cook all green vege- tables uncovered. Start them cooking in boiling water and serve just as soon as tender. Prolonged cooking not only causes loss of color but makes the vegetable unappetizingly soft and tasteless. Preparing New Carrots New carrots, cut in slices, cook tender in fifteen minutes. Diced they will take longer. Since they are lightly scraped, they are quickly pre- pared and only a few minutes need be allowed for their preparation. New beets require only a thorough scrubbing before cooking and as they should cook in thirty to forty min- utes they are an excellent vegetable to use when an hour is allowed for the preparation of the meal. Potatoes vary according to the method of cooking. Baked potatoes need an hour in an oven which reg- isters 400 degrees F. Boiled potatoes usually need from thirty to forty- five minutes, depending on the size. Cut in half lengthwise they will cook tender in boiling water in thirty min- utes. Train yourself to cook green and succulent vegetables in as little water as possible, DELICIOUS DISH The giblets of the chicken consist of the feet, wing bones, neck, heart, liver and gizzard. ._Clean the gizzard, remove the skin and the thick membrane, and cut it into four pieces. Divide the neck al- so into pieces, singe and skin and trim the feet; singe the wings, wash and dry them. Place all in a sauce- pan' of cold water, bring it to boiling Point. Skim, strain. and sponge each piece. Now place 14 lb. fat bacon cut into dice in a saucepan with one dozen small pickled onions drained from their liquor; some carrots, turned the same size, and fry gently till slightly colored. Add • the giblets. Season with pepper, salt, a bay leaf, and dredge with flour. Let the whole brown nicely, then add -two fresh tomatoes, skinned, seeded, and chop- ped, two or three large soup spoons of chicken broth. cut in four pieces, and about a Cook for 20 minutes, add the bird, cut in four pieces, and about a dozen green olives Serve at the end of 15 minutes.

CALORIES IN EGGS When it comes to calories, one medium-sized egg, weighing about 21/ ounces in the shell, supplies 25 calories of protein and 45 of fat, mak- ing a total of 70 calories. PLAIN OMELET Many people find an omelet diffi- cult to achieve, but this simple re- cipe presents little difficulty. Six eggs, five tablespoons water, three, tablespoons butter, salt, pepper. Sep- arate the yolks from the whites. Beat the whites until stiff. Beat the yolks until thick, add hot water, salt, pep- per. Fold the whites .into the yolks and pour into omelet pan in which the butter has been melted. As the omelet begins to cook, lift the sides gently from the pan to allow uncook- ed egg on top to 'run under, but do not stir. When omelet is thickened but still soft, fold over and serve. SANDWICH HINTS For variety, try substituting a sharp, creamy cheese for mayonnaise in your party sandwiches. Cold neat, sliced very thin, fresh tomatoes, let- tuce and cheese make tasty filling for sandwiches to serve with iced tea on sunnier afternoons, CLOTTED CREAM Let two quarts of rich milk stand 24 hours in room temperature. Then set over a low heat and bring almost to boiling point. Keep there 10 to 15 minutes. It should not boil. Let stand for another two hours at room temperature. Then skim the cream by folding it over and over in small rolls. Chill before serving. This mak- es a scant cup of clotted cream. This may be made from pasteurized milk, but it sets better if milk that has not been pasteurized can be obtained. CREAMED TOMATOES Make six slices of thin toast and put in the bottom of a casserole. Slice four large tomatoes and cook six slices of bacon until crisp and mince. Make layers of tomato and bacon in the dish and pour over a pint of white sauce. Bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes and serve garnished with sprigs of parsley. KEEPING CUFFS CLEAN White pique collars and cuffs will stay clean much longer if you starch them. Wash and rinse thoroughly, dip in cold starch and then roll in a towel for a few hours before ironing. JELLY ROLL CAKE Two eggs, 1 cup sugar, 2-3 cup milk, 1 1-2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1-4 teaspoon salt, few drops vanilla, jelly. Beat yolksof eggs until thick and lemon colored. Beat in sugar, beat- ing until sugar is dissolved. Beat in three tablespoons milk and lightly stir in 1-2 cup flour. Mix and sift remaining flour with salt and baking powder and add alternately with re- maining milk to first mixture. Fold in whites of eggs beaten until stiff. Add vanilla and pour into an oiled and floured oblong cake pan. The batter should not be more than one- half inch deep in the pan. Bake fifteen minutes in a moderate oven. Remove at once from cake pan, turn- ing cake upside down on a damp napkin sprinkled with powdered sugar. Spread with jelly which has been beaten with a fork. Trine off crisp edges and roll up. Wrap the napkin around the roll and let stand until cake is cool. Cut in slices across roll to serve. Sunday School Lesson Lesson II.—July 8. Asa Relies on God. — 2 Chronicles, Chapters 14- 16. Golden Text.—The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?—Heb. 13: 6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME—Abijah9s reign, B.C. 905- If.03. Asa's reign, B.C. 963-922. PLACID.—Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. PARALLEL PASSAGE — 1 Kings 15. "And the Spirit of God cane upon Azariah the son of Oded, This is the only appearance of this prophet in Scripture. "And he went• out to meet Asa. Azariah went out to meet Asa as the king was returning from his great, victory over Zerah, "And said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. Azariah's message was not only to the king, but to the people as well. Je- hovah is with you, while ye are with him. Asa had gone into battle rely- ing on God to carry him through, and God had done so gloriously. And if ye seek him, he will be found of you. This message from God through the prophet was proof of that. But if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. Why this note of warning at that bright moment of joy? Because it was then most needed. "Now for a long season. Israel was without the true God, There liad been many times, since the conquest of Canaan, when the people had for- gotten the true God and strayed away into indifference. And without a teaching pries, and without law. Our preachers should be teachers,instruc- ting as well as inspiring, leading as well as exhorting. A preacher is to be a prophet as well as a priest and pastor. "But when in their distress they turned unto Jehovah, the God 01 Is- rael, and sought him. This As iliete- trated over and over In the history of God's people:` He was found of them. Never once did God forsake his faith- less people, or fail to turn to them when they returned to him. "And in those times. The times of national distress just referred to, There was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in. A pro- verb denoting all the various move- ments of life. But great vexations were upon all the Inhabitants of the lands. By "lands" is meant here not other countries, but the various dis- tricts of Judah and Benjamin. "And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city. Like "lands" above, 'nation against nation' means 'ane• part or tribe of Israel against an- other.' For God did vex them with all adversity. As they were adverse to him, he was adverse to them, "But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack, This exhortation goes back to verse 2: Asa could be strong, not in his own strength, but in the power of God. For your work shall be rewarded. God is 'a reward- er of them that seek after him.' "And when Asa heard these words. He night easily have taken umbrage at what he might call the prophet's presumption, and have refused to listen to him. "Ap,d the prophecy of Oded the pro- phet. Evidently some words have dropped out of the text, which should read 'the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded.' Be took courage. No work for God can be done without courage, and that is why God prom- ises us his presence and support. "And put away the abominations out of all the laud of Judah and Ben- jamin. 'The abominations were the idols, and all the cruel and obscene accompaniments of heathen worship. "And out of the cities which he had taken from the hill -country of Eph- raini. The elevated region in the south of the northern kingdom, where Ass's father had made conquests which Asa himself doubtless had to renew and confirm. And he renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah. During the period of idolatry this center of na- tional religion had been allowed to fall into ruin. "And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin. The two tribes left to Rehoboam after the secession of the Northern Kingdom. And them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh. The two tribes im- mediately north of Judah in the reg- ion known as Samaria in Christ's day. And out of Simeon, This tribe dwelt In the extreme south of Palestine, below Judah. For they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, 'Israel'; was the mime given to the northern division of the Israelites. When they saw that Jehovah his God was with him. A Godlike man will gather many friends about him. "So, they gathered themselves to- gether at Jerusalem. The national capital, the religious center of the kingdom, the city of sacred memories.

Woma.n Will Add Soft Shades and Shining Shrubs to her Garden San Francisco,—Sydney Stein to whom this city points as the only girl gardener hired by a public ark in the United States, says. there' a future for the woman in gardening. "During the depression people found out what a let of fun they could have with ten cents worth of seeds," she said today. "With everybody interest= ed and gardens so popular, it means more work for the trained landscaper and maintenance corkers." Miss Stein can spade by the hour lug the heavy park hoses about and trundle a wheelbarrow with the best of 'em believes women can impart a valuable note to gardens. A man -planned garden will have tall trees, sturdy shrubs and ,strength in its outlines," she said. A womaa will add ,soft shades and shining shrubs, and will excel when it comes to taking the pains needed to provide cut flowers the year round, and have blending blooms in all seasons." Sydney went in for gardening be- cause she wanted to work outdoors. Fur work she wears a comfortable pair of corduroy slacks. New Bloused Goatees Suggest Fall Trend It hasn't taken long for those smart coatees that came in from Paris just a few weeks ago as evening fashions; to find their counterpart in daytime fashions. The evening ones, it is not hard to remember, are distinguished by a very full underarm or kimono cut that melts right into a full blous- ed sleeve, and because the whole thing is cut on the bias, it gives a new and attractive quality to balloon - lines. For daytime, in little silk suits that may be anything from sheer silk to taffeta or summer wcighr satin, they are translating this same feeling into jackets that go a bit farther in the bloused silhouette by incorporat- ing the bloused treatment ahuve the waistline of brief belted packets The effect is quite new for daytime suits for spring and summer, where we have become so accustomed to either fitted lines or else boxy end flared ones.. We believe that it is significant and not just a passing whim, since you can put your finger on several. sub-, stantial styles that point to trend for bloused coats and jackets. We count it as one of the thing's to watch for fall. Costly Advice CALGARY --A father's advice to his son not to marry will cost Har- old Green of Viking, .Alta„ $5,000.
