PERFECT CUP OF TEA 65 PIECES OF CLOTH
The Salada Tea Company offer At the Hugh John MacDonald com-
the following suggestions for seeur- munity centre, Winnipeg, a dress for
ing the bes; results in making tea: a two-year-old girl was composed of
65 pieces of cloth. It was made by a
woman of the community. A pair of
blue pants for a little shaver was
made from 36 odd scraps. The origin
of both were well disguised and did
not resemble Jacob's coat of
colors.
First use a tea of good quality. Sec-
ond use fresh water always. Third
use an earthenware teapot. Scald out
the pot to make it warm, place in it
a level teaspoonful of tea for each
cup desired and one for the pot, add
freshly boiling water, allow to steep
for five minutes and stir slightly be -
for serving, Tea made according to
these rules will be fragrant and de-
licious.
"BRUNCH"
Every once in awhile we come
across some mourner for "the beauti-
ful and open-handed hospitality of
other days," and right then and there
-we begin to do battle. For we prefer
the modern brand of hospitality. It
may not be, in fact, we suppose it
isn't, as picturesque as the old. The
great hearths and groaning hoards
that we picture on our Christmas
cards are no more, 'tis true. But as
far as the housewife is concerned,
they are well gone if in return she
may continue to enjoy today's ad-
juncts to gracious entertaining —
electric grills, percolators and toast-
ers that make it possible for a hostess
to fake care of unlimited guests with
ease. •
A late leisurely breakfast which
combines breakfast and lunch and
has come to be known as "brunch"
offers a delightful way to entertain
informally guests of all ages while
the new gadgets minimize the work
to an incredible degree.
Table Cooking Simple
Take the electric toaster which
automatically prevents too -brown
toast and insures the piping -hot, non -
soggy variety at any moment which
you may put on a tray all equipped
with glass compartment dishes de-
signed to hold marmalade, butter.
cheese, relishes, and savories.
The technique of table cookery is
simple but exacting. First of all, in
using any piece of table equipment,
be it toaster, waffle iron, grill or
chafing dish, he sure that the food
to be cooked on it or in it is ready
and that all other utensils are at
hand.
If there is to be a first course be-
fore the electric appliance is needed,
let the toaster or iron heat while -the
first course is being eaten. Then
the first pieces of bread may be slip- (saving those with hairs glued in)
ped into the toaster just as the course I may be fitted for work again by sim-
is finished so that there will be no mering in boiling vinegar for about
:awkward waiting. half an hour. Follow by a good wash
This menu for brunch may be in soap -suds.

BEAUTY ASSETS
In these days of low decolletages
a beautiful back, smooth shoulders
and snow-white arms and elbows are
as important to a woman's beauty as
a perfect complexion and pearly
teeth. No evening gown can do justice
if your good grooming habits are
applied only to face and neck.
Remember that the daily bath is
the first, and certainly the most im-
portant, step to daintiness and
beauty. For instance, there's the lit-
tle matter of a bath brush. There
should be one in every woman's bath-
room, and she should use it every day.
If you don't own a brush, invest in
one of the new, long -handled varieties
with uniform bristles that are fine
and soft and which will not irritate
the skin.
When you've thoroughly cleaned
and massaged your back and shoul-
ders, remove the brush from the
handle (modern brushes are made
that , yay, you know), and scrub arms,
elbows, knees and feet. Notice how
the vigorous brushing removes dis-
coloration and scaliness. Incidentally,
daily massaging of the back stimulat-
es circulation and will clear up shall
blemishes and pimples with in short
time.
After your thorough bath, pat
neck, arms, back, shoulders and
legs with a body lotion or oil. Col-
ogne or toilet water are easy to use
and actually will keep the skin
smooth and beautiful.
VINEGAR AIDS
Many and various are the virtues
that lurk within the vinegar bottle.
Warm vinegar effectively removes
heat marks or stains from mahogany
and, if one is willing to use a modi-
cum of elbow -grease, acts as a polish
too. Lacquer tables also respond • to
the same treatment, but the vinegar,
though it cleans, is apt to dull the
surface. A rub with a soft cloth and
a spot of paraffin successfully com-
bats this. Neglected paint brushes
changed, of course, to suit individual
needs and tastes.
Wedges of iced honeydew melon,
scrambled eggs with crisp broiled
bacon, toast, cheese, marmalade, elate
bread, coffee.
A mild ,pheese such as Edam or
cream is delicious with either toast
or date bread and adds an original
touch to the breakfast.
And here's the recipe for date
bread:
One cup bran, 1% cups pastry
flour, 114 cups whole wheat flour,
5 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tea-
spoon salt, 1 cup chopped pitted
dates, 1 cup broken nut meats, 1
egg, 13 cups milk, y/ cup strained
honey, 2 tablespoons melted short-
ening,
Mix and sift pastry flour with
salt and baking powder. Add bran
and graham flour and mix well. Add
• dates and nuts. Mix. Add egg well
beaten with milk and honey. Beat
well and stir in melted shortening,
Turn into well oiled and floured
bread pans and bake one hour in
a moderate oven. Remove from oven
and rub crust with melted butter.
Fire grates assume a cheerful
brightness with a fraction of the
ordinary labor, if vinegar is used to
moisten the stove polish, while cur-
tain rings and hooks, rusty and dirty
with age, regain self-respect after a
prolonged boil in vinegar and water.
The subsequent polish whilst hot
secures a brillant shine.
Wash -day anxieties are lessened
considerably by its aid, for, added to
the water used for rinsing colored
clothes, vinegar will help to set the
colors without injuring the fabric.
Moreover, its magic will success-
fully rejuvenate ancient -looking black
lace. Soak the material in a solution
of vinegar and water in the proport-
ions of two tablespoonfuls to a pint.
Afterwards rinse in cold coffee, and
iron, still damp, between two pads of
woollen material.
Tiresome culinary operations may
often be accomplished more easily
and quickly with vinegar's kindly
aid; for instance, a cracked egg will
boil quite well if a little vinegar is
added to the water, while the flesh
of fish may be kept firm and white
during cooking by adding vinegar to
the liquid in which it is being boiled.

out of vinegar, will not become

HINTS FOR HIKERS
Clean your pots and forks by
sprinkling them with wood ash from
the fire and rubbing them with a
bundle of leaves or grass. Dig kni-
ves into the ground to clean them.
If soft soap is rubbed on the back
of a pan before cooking it can 'be
wiped off afterwards and the soot
collected will go with it.
Stamp out your fire, taking par-
ticular care to see that the ends of
charred sticks are not alight.
Throw any hot pieces into a bog or
pond, and, if possible, water the site
or spread over with a layer of wet
earth or sand.
HINTS
If you have made your frosting a
bit too soft and the layer cake is in-
clined to slip off unevenly, run a few
tooth -picks through the layers, hold-
ing them in place until the icing
hardens.
* * *
Instead of trying to shake the dirt
out of a new floor mop after start-
ing to use it, brush it with a whisk
broom. The mop will always be fluffy
and clean.
* * *
When using soda to clear the drain
in the sink, be sure to follow with a
pan of boiling water so the soda and
grease do not form a soft soap in
the drain pipe and close the drain
entirely.
* *
Always hem the table linen by
hand. It will mean a neater job and
there will be no streak of dirt under
the edge after washing, as so often
happens when the linen is machine
stitched.
* * *
Let the mud stains dry on the
clothing, then break the crust and
rub lightly to prevent driving the
dirt into the material. If there are
any remaining marks rub with al-
cohol.
* * *
Brown sugar can be softened and
made easier to measure it by placing
it in a flat baking pan and placing
in the oven for a few minutes. How-
ever, it should be watched closely to
prevent burning.
• * *
If after laundering, heavy shirts
and blouses are hung separately on
li ocel'n clothes hangers. then bung on
the line, they will dry more quickly
and be in better shape than when
pinned directly on the line.
* * *
Diced cold roast meat, 2 table-
spoons peanut butter, 4, cup finely
ground raw carrots, salad dressing,
salt, and lettuce. Whip the peaunt
butter with salad dressing until
creamy, then add to the stilted car-
rots and meat.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time—A.D. 36.
Place — The uninhabited country
southwest of Jerusalem,
"But an angel of the Lord spake
unto Philip." Philip had been doing
angelic work, and it is not strange
that an angel was sent to direct him
further. God rewards faithful work
with more work. "Saying, Arise, and
go toward the south unto the way
that goeth down from Jerusalem unto
Gaza." Down because Jerusalem is
on high ground, while Gaza is on
the coastal plain. "The same is
desert." This was added to the direct-
ion in order that Philip might dis-
tinguish between the two roads which
joined Jerusalem and Gaza.
"And he arose and went." A long
journey of sixty or seventy miles
stretched out before him. "And be-
hold, a man of Ethiopia." A great
country south of Egypt, now called
Nubia and Abyssinia. "A eunuch of
great authority under Candace, queen
of the Ethiopians." The Candace, a
name for the queens of Moroe, the
northern. kingdom of Ethiopia, just
as Pharaoh was the name of the
kings of Egypt. "Who was over all
her treasure." Her chancellor of the
exchequer, or secretary of the treas-
ury—one of the most important of-
ficials of the kingdom. "Who had
come to Jerusalem to worhip." There
were many Jews in Egypt. Discover-
ies made within the last few years
show that in the fifth century B.C.
there was a colony of Jews settled
already for a long time on the south-
ern frontier of Egypt where it bord-
ers on Ethiopia.
"And he was returning and sitting
in his chariot." The ancient chariot
was a horse-drawn vehicle, usually
with only two wheels. "And was read-
ing the prophet Isaiah." Much of our
success in life, much of the fulness
of our preparation for the next life,
depends on our choice of books.
"And the Spirit said unto Philip."
Were not the Holy Spirit and the
angel of the Lord who had sent Philip
on this errand, one and the sauce
Person? "Go near, and join thyself
to this chariot." The lines are closing
in. The light is breaking on Philip's
mind. He begins to see why God has
sent him down this desert road.
"And Philip ran to him." His run-
ning showed his obedient eagerness.
"And heard him reading Isaiah the
prophet." The custom of reading
aloud was (and is) universal in the
East. "And said, Understandest thou
what thou readest?" It is in this
spirit that the Christian worker, in
; f •' AND JEFI--
1-1-C.RC-'S "ll
lation to his kindgdom, .and among
other things of baptism.
"And Philip said, If thou believe
est with all thy heart, thou allayed.
And he answered and said, I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God,",
As is well known, the answer to the
eunuch's question is wanting ht
authoritative manuscripts. The in-
sertion inay have been due to the.
creeping into the text of a marginal
note.
"And he commanded the chariot to
stand still," He was a busy man, but
he was wise enough to see that no
business was so important as to obey
the word of God. "And they both
went down into the water, both
Philip and the eunuch." The Lord
Chancellor and the humble messenger
of the cross become Christian brothers
in that hour of true fellowship. "And
he baptized him." The rite of baptism,
solemnly commanded by our Lord, is
the most fitting entrance into the
Christian life,
"And when they carne up out of
the water, the Spirit of the Lord
caught away Philip; and the eunuch
saw him no more." Philip disappear-
ed suddenly, for he would have his
work stand in the power of the Lord
and not in his own power. "For he
went on his way rejoicing." The in-
cident is a most inspiring example of
the benefits which flow from Bible-•
reading, when the heart is tender and
true and the life is quick in obedience,
the Sunday school or elsewhere, will
seek to throw light on the Word of
God.
"And he said, How can I, except
some one shall guide me?" In these
clays of universal Bible -study a man
is occasionally niet with who insists
on getting along without "helps";
the Bible itself is enough for him;
commentaries would only hamper and
confuse him. But the part of wisdom
is to take advantage of every possible
assistance in getting at the true
meaning of the Scriptures, "And he
.besought Philip to come up and sit
with him." He did not hesitate to
snake a friend out of the travel -worn
stranger, and to admit his own need
of instruction.
"Now the passage of the scripture
which he was reading was this." The
verses quoted here are Isa. 53 : 7,
8. "He was led as a sheep to the
slaughter." The prophet speaks of
the Messiah, and his sacrificial death
for the sins of the world. "And as a
lamb before his shearer is dumb, so
he openeth not his mouth." This
prophecy was fulfilled by Christ's
refusal to plead his cause before his
judges.
"In his humiliation his judgment
was taken away." In the violence and
injustice done to him his judgment,
i.e., the fair trial due to him, was
withheld. "His generation who shall
declare? for his life is taken from
the earth. Who shall tell the wicked-
ness and the violence of the men of
that generation which rejected and
slew hien?" — Dean C. J. Vaughan.
"And the eunuch answered Philip."
He answered Philip's inquiry as to
the special difficulty which he found
in Isaiah's words. "And said, I pray
thee, of whom speaketh the prophet
this? of himself, or some other?"
This is the question still put to us by
modern scholars. The treasurer's
question went to the heart of the
matter of prophecy, its reality, its
authenticity, its part iii the prov-
idence of God.
"And Philip opened his mouth" A
phrase introducing momentous utter-
ance, see Acts 10 : 34; Matt. 5 :2.
"And beginning from this scripture,"
This is the way to start any person
on the Christian life: begin with him
where you find him, go on from there.
"Preached unto him Jesus." The sor-
rows of Christ's crucifixion were not
the end. The life which had thus end-
ed in shame had begun again in
glory: the cross had led on to the
crown.
"And as they went on the way,
they calve unto a certain water." All
the while St. Philip was talking, they
had been driving on across the
desert; and at last they came to
where a stretch of water lay cool.
"And the eunuch said, Behold, here
is water; what doth hinder ire to be
baptized?" It 'is evident from this
question that Philip had not only
preached Jesus as the Christ, but had
also spoken of the individual's re -

Ab Jenkins, Holder of Num-
erous Records, Has Never
Had An Accident,
Ab Jenkins, the man who holds
more American Automobile Associa-
tion records for distance, speed and
driver — and has never had an ac-
cident—gives six practical suggest-
ions for safe driving in the current
Rotarian Magazine. They are:
1. Keep both hands on the wheel.
"The only people I know who are
competent to drive one -handed are
Eddie Rickenbacker and Ralph De-
Palma—and both of them use two
hands."
2. Keep the best tires on the front
wheels.
"The front=wheel blow-out is by far
the more dangerous. When blow -outs
do happen, danger can be averted by
clinging stoutly to the steering
wheel."
3. Always test your brakes.
"During the first hundred yards of
(living, I always test my brakes by
pushing down the pedal. The brakes
may have frozen, they may be
greasy, or need adjustment."
4. Be extremely careful at twilight.'
"Your have three times the ac-
cident hazard at twilight that you
have at 8 a.m. Defective visibility is,'
of course, the reason. Remember,
too, that night-time crashes have a
forty-two per cent. higher fatality
than daylight accidents."
5. Don't use brakes in a skid.
"To cone out of a skid throw out
your clutch and manoeuvre the steer-
ing wheel so that the front wheels
are in alignment with the rear ones.
Braking is ineffectual. Your main con -i
cern is to equalize traction on all four
wheels, which you do by throwing out
your clutch; your next move is to get
all your wheels in line. As soon as
you feel the skid weakening, let in
the clutch, `gun' the motor, and re-
sume forward progress."
6. Study the road.
"Always reduce sPeed when pass-
ing from one type of road to another.
Your right wheel should be approxi-
mately one and one-half feet from
the outer edge of the highway. Run-
ning off the road is common. Thirty-
one per cent. of accidents are due to
speeding, while thirty-four per cent.
are caused by cars going off the
road."

Clever children, we are told, are
