Muffin pans. Cool the scalded milk, When tepid, add yeast cake. Add the other in- gredients in the order given. Beat well. Let rise six hours. Then with a wooden spoon fold the mixture once and place in a refrigerator over night or until ready for use. Shape into balls, handling as quickly as possible as the mixture softens at it stands. Let rise until double in bulk. Place in muffin pans rubbed with shortening. Then place in a cold oven, regulate to 400 degrees Fo' or hot. Turn on the heat and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. BUCHTA COFFEE CAKE ' Six cups flour; one cake of yeast; one cup sugar; two curs of milli; one egg; two teaspoons salt; eight to nine tablespoons melted shortening; cinna- mon, sugar and brown sugar on top. Use two cups of flour and make a sponge with the milk, sugar and the yeast. Let rise about one half hour, Then add the beaten egg, salt and the shortening. Add remaining flour and let rise about three hours. Put on a floured board and roll one-half an inch thick. Sprinkle thick with cinna- mon, sugar 'and melted shortening.

Air Kills Vitamins Canned strawberries are so widely used that they also have come under the experimenter's eye. Scientific re- search has discovered •that dommer- cially canned and home canned ber- VaaUCstsh ETAOI SHRLUETA01 I ries put up by the hot pack and pres- sure mesh id lose praecally no vita- min C content because this vitamin is destroyed primarily by air. Heat has tens the destruction when •air is pre- sent, but in the absence of air has little effect. This xplains why berries canned by processes which exclude air retain vitamin C. The woman who lives in a small town or in a community easily ac- cessible th berry markets will find it profitable to do her own canning. The hot water bath, steam pressure cooker and heat controlled oven all represent satisfactory equipment, for home canning. But if a high price must be paid for fresh berries, plus labor, fuel and equipment, it may be found more economical to invest in the commercially canned product when the fruit is wanted in the winter. Canned Strawberries The particular feature of berries canned according to this recipe is that they will not rise to the top 01 the jar after they are canned. Wash, hull and pick over the ripe berries. Allow one quart box of ber- ries for each pint jar. Add 1 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons water to each quart of berries. Bring them slowly to the boiling point. Simmer, but do not boil for ten minutes, remove from fire, cover and let stand for several hours or over night. Then pour into sterilized jars, partly seal the jars, and sterilize in hot water bath for 12 minutes. Seal, cool and store in a dark place. If strawber- ries or other delicate berries are stored in the pantry or other places where the daylight or the sunlight reaches them, they will lose their col- or and become straw-colored. Strawberry Jam Pick over, wash drain and hull the strawberries. Mash a few in the bot - of a preserving kettle using e wooden potato -masher and so continue until all the fruit is :seed. Heat slowly to boiling point and add gradually an equal quantity of heated sugar. (Heat sugar in oven). Cook slowly 45 minutes, or instil thick. Bottle and seal. Gooseberries and Strawberries , Three pounds goosebetTies, two pounds strawberries. Pick over the gooseberries and re- move stems and tails. Wash, then hull the strawberries. Put berries in a saucepan and crush them with a wooden apoon or potato masher. Heat slowly to the boiling point, then boil five minutes. Measure, add an equal measure of sugar and boil rapidly for 20 minutes or until the mixture jells from. the edge of the spoon. Pour at once into small sterilized jars and seal with melted paraffin. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb; 2 pounds of strawberries, 2 pounds of granulated sugar. Wash and skin rhubarb. Wash and hull berries. Put the rhubarb through the food chopper catching 'the juice that drips from the crank case. Combine rhubarb juice and su- gar. Adil berries and let stand until sugar is dissolved. Add berries and let stand until the sugar is dissilved Put over a low fire and bring' to the CINNAMON CAKES One half cup shortening, one cup' sugar; two eggs; one half cup milk; one and three fourths cups of flour two and one-half teaspoons baking powder, one tablespoon cinnamon. Blend the shortening and sugar and add the eggs.,Mix and sift the flour and baking powder and add alternate- ly with the milk: Pour into muffin pans rubbed with shortening. Place a half pecan on each cake, set pan in told oven and regulate to 375 degrees F., or moderate. Bake 35 minutes. STRAWBERRIES Most things that are good for us to eat gives us all a chance to grumble but in the luscious strawberry we have something good for us and we can utter words of praise at the same time. High in Vitamin C Mothers will be especially interest- ed to know that the C vitamin rates about as high in berries as it does in oranges. However, vitamins A and B are growing and building sub- stances, are lower in berries than in the citrus flint, The strawberry hold only half the A value and one third the B value of the orange. There is good reason to believe that berries actually help the body to make use of other elements in the diet. Thus they ane not only valuable in themselves, but increase the value of accompanying foods in daily use. If you want to use strawberries as V Canada's Prime Minister Honored Canada's Prime Minister' seen at Tight, was given the Honorary degree of doctor of Laws ofRensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y., last week -end, he is shown here chatting with Palmer C. Rick- etts, President of the Institute. boiling point. Stir frequently to pre- vent sticking and to crush the fruit. Cook until a spoonful tiled on a cold plate jellies. Turn into sterilized jel- ly glasses and cover with paraffin when cold. Strawberry Fluff Use one egg white, 1 cup hulled strawberries, 1 cup powdered sugar. Cut strawberries in quarters and put all ingredients into a mixing bowl Beat with a rotary beater for about 20 minutes. The mix-ture will ex- pand and become exceedingly light an fluffy. Pile into sherbert cups or par- fait glasses and c1i11 thoroughly. Serve with cake or cookies or with a garnish of whipped cream. Old -Fashioned Shortcake One quart strawberries, three quar- ters cup granulated sugar, one and one half cups flour, three teaspoons of baking powder, one half teaspoons salt, 4 tablespoons butter or some o- ther shortening and butter mixed, one half cup milk or water (about) Wash and hull berries and cut, in quarters. Sprinkle with sugar and let stand in a warm place while mix- ing and baking shortcake. Mix and eight. and serve with plain cream or to milk. 1.9••••*•••••1*9 9•9••••••••"•,,••••••••••19•rn• Sunday School Lesson LESSON Ille*July 15, God Cares for Kings 17:24; .19:1-8.

He called 'the Tishbite' perhaps because he was born in the Galilee town of Tislabeh. Who was of the sojourners of Gilead. The implication is that Elijah had moved from Galilee across the lake into Gilead, "Said unto Ahab. He appears mys- teriously on the scene, as he is to disappear as suddenly and mysteri- ously at the end of 'his career, He was as swift as a stroke of light- ning. "As Jehovah, the God of Israel liveth. These words are Elijah's life message. "Before whom 1 sand, Eli- jah felt himself to be always before God's throne, as one of his officers, ready to go on any errand. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. Not Eli- jah's word, but God's word through Elijah. Dew is mentioned first, as the most important; vegetation' can live so long as it is fed by the dew. "And .the word of Jehovah came unto him. We are not told what was the effect of Elijah's prophecy, or whether any effort was made to de- tain the bold speaker. He disappeared from the court as suddenly as he had appeared. 'Saying. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward. He was to go back to his own forestland of Gilead, where he would be safe from pursuit and capture. And hide thyself by the brook Cherith. The name of this brook means 'cut' or 'gorge.An ideal place of concealment. That is before the Jordan. That is, east of the Jordan, before one enters Pales- tine proper. "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook. Here is a prom- ise of water, but not of an enduring supply, for the brook later dried up (verse 7). And 1 have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 'The translation ravens is not uusuitable; ravens were well-kuown inhabitants of ravines, and they were regarded as fed by God." "So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah. Elijah was one of the most forceful and original men that ever lived, but he merged his personality in glad obedience to God. For he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan. Elijah might have known a dozen places where be would have preferred to live, but he knew that God knew best, - "And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening. Relief came to this prophet with the most unex- pected, and with seemingly impos- sible, conveyance, "And he drank of the brook. The brook said to' Elijah, God always takes care of me. 1 never worry. I Dever wonder Where the water is coming from. "And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land. The brook failed Elijah, bul God bad not failed him. "And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done. The weak king bad seen the great miracle on top of Mt. Carmel, aud had evidently beeu moved by it, so that he obeyed Elijah's com- mands without objection. 'And withal how be had slain all the prophets with the sword. Perhaps Ahab expect- ed Jezebel to be as amazed as he had been at the power of God exhibited through the prophet; but if so. he was disappointed. "Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah. She might have bitten the prophet come to her, but she probably doubted that he would come, "Saying so let the gods do to me, and more. also.

The water, in that dry land without rivers or springs, would be as much a mir- acle as the cake. And he did eat and drink, and laid. him down again. The medicine of the sleep and. food. had not yet completed their restorative work. ' "And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time. God will send his messengers ot cheer and strength as often as his weary children need them. And touched him, and said,' Arise and eat, because the journey is too great •for thee. The distance from Beer-sheba to Horeb (Sinai) le about two hundred miles. "And he arose, and did, eat and drink, and went in the strength oi that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. He would not have required forty days to travel there, if the intention of God had been nothing more than to cause him to reach the mountain. But in the strength of the food provided by the angel Elijah waa not only to per- form the journey to Horeb, but to wander in the desert for forty days as Moses had formerly wandered with all Israel for forty years, that he might know that the Lord was still the same God who had nourished and sustained his whole nation in the desert." Strawberry Ice Cream One quart box strawberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons icing sugar, 2 cups whipping cream, 1-2 cup single cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt. Wash stem and crush the berries with granulated sugar Heat to boiling point Remove from fire add salt and cool. Run through seive. Whip cream add vanilla and icing sugar and place in refrigerator to keep cool. Fold whipping cream into fruit mixture and pour into tray of refrigerator. Strawberry Mousse One quart box strawberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon gelatine, 2 table- spoons cold water, 4 tablespoons hot water, 2 cups cream whipped. Wash berries, remove hulls, add sugar and let stand one hour, then run through sieve. Soak gelatine in cold water, then dissolve in hot water Add to strained strawberries, fold in cream and place in pans of electric refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours. Serves sift flour, baking powder and sal Work in shortening with pastry bleit, der or two knives. With a knife cut in liquid and make soft dough. Div- ide dough in halves and roll one half on a floured moulding board to fit baking pan. Oil and flour pan and Put in dough. Spread generously with oftened butter and cover with remain- ing dough which has been rolled to fit lower section. Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes. When ready to serve split the sections ap- art. Spread lower section with butter and cover with thick layers of juice and berries. Cover with top section and add more berries. This may be topped with a slightly sweetened whipped cream and garnished with perfect whole berries. Serve with plain cream.' Individual Cakes Instead of making one large short- cake the dough may be cut in rounds to make individual cakes. These are split and served like the large one. If you like to serve your dessert from the kitchen the individual shortcakes are nice, but the one large cake makes a very handsome dish for the hostess to set: se at the table or ror the maid to pass to each one to help himself. Graham crackers or bread and but- ter make excellent foundations for shortcakes for children. Simply place the prepared fruit between layers of graham crackers or bread and butter Cheese Cakes Line about one dozen shallow patty tins with rounds of good rough puff paste; a little preserve of some kind may be put in cases. Fill the cases about three parts full with the fol- lowing:—Cream one half cup of su- gar and one half cup of butter, add 2 eggs well beaten, about three table- spoons milk, a small teaspoon baking powder and any flavouring desired. Twist a little strip of paste on the top and bake quickly, Time about 15 minutes. There are many varieties of cheese cakes, but rarely the kind from which the name originated—that is, the curd got during the process of cheesem eking. Pressed Beef To cook and press brisket of beef. Wash and dry a piece of brisket weighing between four and six pound rub into it a dessertspoonmixed spice and rather less of salt and leave overnight. Put the prepared beef in- to a saucepan of cold water with 2 bay leaves, a blade of mace a chopped carrot and a turnip. Add a few peppercorns and 'allspice and simmer gently until the, bones will come easily away. Press the meat between two heavy weights. and leave until cold. Brush over with mel- ted glaze.
