Zurich Herald, 1934-10-18, Page 3.:. ARE YOU A GOOD COMBINER? The secret of .many a person who is clubbed by all her friends as an excellent cook is her sense of food combinations. Anyone who com- bines unusual dishes after carefully considering the tasting effect, will merit the name of good cook. For instance, many people always serve such foods as canned soups and vegetables just as they are, never in combinations. But try sometime us- ing your imagination and add a can of soup as a basting fluid for your roast meat. Or combine a meat soup with a can of tomato soup and watch your guests' appreciation. If you are scalloping a fish dish you will find that the addition of a small can of pea soup for the liquor, will make people wonder and praise. One -dish dinners are excellent for studying out food combinations. With a cabbage salad a combination of diced 'bananas and peanuts make a good one -dish meal. Or an escallop of cabbage and cheese will satisfy a luncheon appetite. You may wonder at the different taste of your hostess' party cake. When you asks, you find the cake was made by the same recipe you use but was flavored with a combi- nation of cake flavorings instead of the usual way of adding just " one flavor. Spice combinations will pro- duce such variations in cakes that the family will think mother has come across another new recipe. Gravy combinations will snake dinner guests marvel, for nothing in the culinary art is either a failure or a grand success more than the gravies one is served. Try adding onion salt to one gravy, a taste of nutmeg to another, some of the gravy seasonings to a roast meat gravy and remember to use generous shakings of celery seed in a meat gravy, being sure to strain the seeds out before serving. Fish combinations can be made by using two kinds of fish in your baking dish, or a can of peas baked with your creamed salmon. Even fresh boiled pork that comes out so white and appetizing can be added to a fish salad to give an 'unusually pleasing taste to the dish. Many old-fashioned cooks were horrified at the late combination in a fruit salad where orange slices and grapefruit slices were generously sprinkled with onion juice or even topped with wafer-thin . onion slices but today that salad is a popular one. BOLOGNA. IN DISGUISE Place large slices of bologna sausage or minced ham (1-2 inch thick and skin unbroken) in a skillet with a little butter. Let them cook slowly and they will form cups. Turn them over and browr on the bottom side. Filled with scrambled eggs, spaghetti, or any filling desired, they make an attractive luncheon dish. Serve on a platter garnished With buttered toast and individual mounds of vegetable. LEISURE ROOM Our newly acquired leisure brings the need of a room in which to spend that leisure, More than ever before the family is feeling the need of a place in which to work at hobbies, to play, or to do nothing at all. Such a room is within the reach of Almost any family which will spend .a reasonable amount of time and enthusiasm. The attic, the cellar, a Wing, or even the apartment ver- anda may be transformed into one of these delightful rooms; A cellar which had in the past, been nothing more nor less than a prosaic place for furnace and pre- serves, has suddenly become the favorite resort of the youth of a certain neighborhood. The boys of this family loved the pea and so the idea of transforming the cellar into a sort of indoor ship. 4.0 One week's allowance covered the cost of paint, canvass, and rope. But Mother and father and the whole family, including the little sister, whose part was to make gay nautical cushions, spent many enthusiastic hours helping to outfit this room. Two .ship's lanterns and a com- pass and bell were heirlooms, the gangplank was an ingenious affair of white -washed scantlings, ana the life preservers were white -washed inner tubes, bearing proudly the family name. Is it any wonder .that this family surveys its handiwork with pride? Time and space will not permit more than a scanning of the charm- ing attic which became the center of the happy activities of a certain house with more furniture than it knew how to use. This project was more a matter .of arranging furni- ture already in the attic, and the gay splashing of paint by the family artist. The outstanding charm of this place was the pictures painted on the bare walls. The cost in this case was the cost of the paint. "Why didn't we think of it before" the family is asking.

It is a modern touch in the color scheme that is employed in various ways, at present. It may seem daring for instance, to use plaid walls in a room. But some un- usually pleasing wall papers are in eerly American effects that show softly blurred diagonal plaids. A hall- way thus papered, suddenly gains distinction, and requires little other decoration—on the walls at least. Diagonal plaids are also quaintly in- viting on bedroom walls, while those used with floral borders for the breakfast room suggest the garden trellis. Many smart box coverings, screens and tray linings are made of plaid paper and parchment paper with Si.

Set the halves in a pie tin with quite a bit of butter in it, and a little on top of the potatoes; place in a slow oven long enough to heat through and brown. They are delicious. * Easy Crust for Cherry Pie Instead of cutting several indi- vidual strips of pie crust, roll the crust as for a whole top crust, fold it once, with a' sharp knife make long slits on either side of the center out as far as one inch from the edge. The crust is then held together by the outer rihi and the center. It gives the appearance of pie crust cut in strips but saves time and care in ad- justing separate strips of pastry. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Lesson III.—The Christian at Prayer.' Matthew 6;5-15; Ephesians 3:14- 21, Golden Text. ---.Continuing steadfastly in prayer.—Rom. 12: 12. THE' LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME.—The Lord's Prayer is part of the Sermon on the Mount, which was spoken in midsummer of A,D, 28, the second year of Christ's minis• itry. Paul wrote his Epistle to the Ephesians at some time during the two years, A.D. 61, 62. PLACE.—The Sermon on the Mount was spoken on the Horns of Hattin, a hill west of the middle of the Sea of Galilee. Paul wrote Eph- esians while a prisoner in his own hired abode in Rome—his first Ro- man imprisonment. "And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites." Hypocrites are pretenders, actors, those who go through a form when their hearts are not in int. "For they love to stand and pray." Standing was the com- mon attitude of prayer in Christ's day, as sitting was the recognized posture of teaching. "In the syna- gogues and in the corners of the. streets." In rthose places they could be seen by the largest number, and especially at the street corners, where they could by seen by people com- ing from four direcrtions, and were splendidly conspicuous. "That they may be seen of men." They wished to be renowned .for their piety. "Verily I say unto you." Christ's common mode of emphasis. "They have received their reward." Their poor, trivial reward, 'the reputation of piety. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber." Thy closet or closed place of prayer. The Jews had such a place usually in the upper part of the house. "And having shut thy door." To shut out intrusion and shut one's self in with God. "Pray to thy Father who is in secret." The more alone we are so far as men are concerned, the least alone we are so far as God is con- cerned. "And thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee." All that you need and more than you are entitled to. Our good deeds do not deserve reward as a due from God. "And in praying use not vain (that is, 'empty,' meaningless) re- petitions, as the Gentiles (the heath- en, non -Jews) do." "For they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Long prayers are not here condemned, if only they are sincere prayers. It is vain repetition that we are urged to avoid. "Be not therefore like unto them." Christ's disciples were not to imitate the scribes and Pharisees, though they were the religious leaders of the day; they were to imitate Christ. "For your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." God is our loving Father, and all farthers want their children to rely upon. them and bring to them their needs ana desires. "After this manner therefore pray ye." To guide his followers in the true spirit and form of prayer, Jesus than suggested that matchless prayer which is in itself a model, a formula, and a summary of all our rightful requests. "Our Father who art it heaven." If we go through Jesus to God and think of him as Father, and the particular kind of Father Jesus conceived him, then every word in our 'theology must be a household, a home -like word, and all God's rela• tions with us will be personal rely. - tions. "Hallowed be thy name." Christ teaches you to pray first as a child, and then as a worshipper. "Thy kingdom come." There is a beautiful translation in an old Mora- vian version of the Scriptures of the saying bf Gabriel to Mary concerns ing her Son. It reads in our English version, 'And of his kingdom there shall be no end.' "Thy will be done, as is in heaven, so on earth." If that were done, it would abolish all the vice of the world, and therefore the misery which springs from vice. Ah, that God's will were but done on earth as it is in the material heaven overhead, in perfect order and obed- ience, as the stars roll in their courses, without rest. "Give us this day our daily bread." The bread problem was with Christ in the wilderness temptation, as he fed the five thousand and four, all through his life. Christ was no dreamer, he was the greatest realist that ever lived, the most practical person that ever set his hand to any great work in the world. "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." Three words are used to point out that for which we need forgiveness: debts, what we owe to God; sins, used in Luke's version of the Lord's Pray- er, the evil we have done in God's sight; and trespasses (verse 14), a word used 'to signify a false step, sometimes a defeat, and generally a transgression, "And bring us not into tempta- tion, but deliver us from the evil one (margin, "from evil"). The meaning of this portion of the Lord's Prayer is perfectly expressed by Paul (1 Cor. 10:13) : God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be 'tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptartion make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to en- dure it. "For if ye forgive men their tres- passes, your Heavenly Farther will also forgive you." It is not of deep significance that this clause of the force? In the words of Martin Luth- Lord proceeds to explain and en- force? In he words of Martin Luith- er, this clause is a token designed to remind us of the ground or condition of continued blessing; and, more- over; when spoken from the heart it may be regarded as a seal affixed by Go to the absolution which is desired. "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses," Many per- sons have desired to find forgiveness, but have asked for it in vain because of a spirit of selfish unforgiveness. Class -Conscious At Age of Four Four young children, little mare than babies, stood before the gates of their kindergarten in Moscow and quarrelled bitterly. "You," declared four-year-old Petia toa weeping little girl of her own age, "are nothing more than an opportun- ist element and we should fight against you." "I'm not," tearfully replied Iro- chka. "Like the teacher said," retorted the accuser, "you are thrusting a knife into the back of the world proletar- iat." "Mother never lets me touch a knife," sniffed the tearful infant. This illuminating conversation would not have been recorded but for the fact that a correspondent of "Pravda," the Russian Communist daily newspaper, was passing at the time. Hardly able to believe his ears he went in search of the teacher who had, apparently, accused a baby of evil designs on world revolutionaries. He found her. Aged 20, what she lacked in common sense she made up in enthusiasm, All her children, she informed the reporter proudly, were enrolled as members of the Society for aviation and chemical defence, and she had tried, though with less success, to make them members of the "Society for Aid of World Revolution." Apparently the babies objected to this. The young woman had heard noth ing of the Sdviet Government's re. cent decrees admonishing teachers tc remember that children were, even in Russia, still only children, and should not be filled with communist ideology they could not understand The Government has even ordered textbooks to be rewritten which will pay more attention t� fact, and less to the teaching of Communism. The reporter asked the teaches where she got her ideas for the teach. ing of the young. She showed him i book which declared that proletarian children become class-conscious al the age of four. Hence, said the book, the revolu. tionary education of children should begin at four, "Preposterous," thought the reporr, ter, deciding to write to the Cotn missariat of Education about it, Then he took another look at tilt book. On its first page it saidi "Endorsed by the Commissariat 91 Education," Mini AND JEFF--- OEFF, nip You READ A ouT MAY EASTS ? teTURE, 946 AIN'T Do,IE RIGHT 5Y1-tI 1?" rtS AIna HIT ALL (VER TRE COUNTRY; YEA, SAW TMT jl ?ictUREi/i TWE 'PUBLIC LIKES d.'I'ICTURE UIOE THAT» c"-Il.M GAY NINETIES;" OLD-TASHIONEDTVQa THE TALL SLIM GIRL. tS PASSING our AND T116 GIRL WITNPLEt1'1YoFMIS AND MAT tS CoMING IN w-- NOLO IFI 1'oUt-U ONLY GEC SOMEONE To i't.AV APART / :s4:7, ft" CeeruteEB IN STOCK wAtt OM,FOI1Ms ec ,,7T O.,feM ctixAE�4+w...
