Morgan HOT I3READS Hot breads are always greeted with delight when they appear on the family table, despite the fact that stern dietitians warn us they are not easy to digest. The average, normally healthy person, however, may indulge in delectable rolls and muffins without anxiety. Hot rolls and muffins find a place in any meal from breakfast to sup- per. Toasted muffins are perfect with afternoon tea. Parker -house rolls are used for quite formal luncheons and informal dinners permitting a bread- stuff. Tiny, hot buttered rolls combin- ed with muffins made with various flours or•meals, such as graham muf- fins and cornmeal muftis make up a tray which is most satisfactory to serve at a luncheon or supper. And don't forget that the simplest home meal gains interest if hot rolls are served with preserves. Rolls made with yeast are not hard for even the most inexperienced bak- er to accomplish. By increasing the amount of yeast the process is short- ened and we may serve fresh, hot rolls within three hours after start- ing them. Or the dough may be kept in the ice -box for several days, ready to shape into rolls. Parker -House Rolls Two cups scalded milk, 4 table- spoons butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 yeast cake, 1/4 cup lukewarm water, 6 cups flour. Put scalded milk into large mix- ing bowl. Add butter, salt and sugar and cool to lukewarm temperature. Break yeast into tiny pieces and add lukewarm water. Let the yeast dis- solve while the milk is cooling. Add dissolved yeast to lukewarm milk mixture. Add three cups sifted flour, beat thoroughly, cover and let rise in a warm place for one hour. The mixture will become light and por- ous. Add remaining flour and turn out on molding board to knead until the dough is elastic and smooth. Put this dough into an oiled mixing bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place a second time, until doubled in bulk. It will take about one and one- half hours. Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead again. Then roll with a rolling pin into a sheet about one-half inch thick. Shape with a biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Dip the dull edge ,of a case knife in flour and crease through the centre of each round. Brush over one-half of each piece with softened butter and fold other half over. Press edges firmly together. Place in an oiled pan, about an inch apart, cover and let rise in a warm place for forty- five minutes. The rolls should double in bulk. Bake in a hot oven (425 de- grees F.) for twenty minutes. Tiny rolls will bake in fifteen minutes and of course larger onces will need as much as thirty minutes. Soft Graham Bread Three cups graham flour, 1 cup white flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup molasses, or 1/b cup sugar, 2 table- spoons butter, % yeast cake, 1% cups warm water. Dissolve yeast with a little of the lukewarm water, mix the other in- gredients in order given and add suf- ficient lukewarm water to snake a soft dough. Cover bowl and set in warm place. When dough is light beat it and pour into btead pans, filling them half full. When light, bake in a moderate oven, Raisin Bread One pint hot milk or water, 1-3 cup butter or other shortening, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg beaten, 1/4 cup raisins, 8 cups flour, 1. oz. cake of yeast. Crumble yeast and dissolve in a cup with a teaspoon of sugar and % cup of milk made lukewarm. Set aside in warm place. Pour rest of the''milk over butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl and when luke- warm add yeast and egg. Mix and knead well on bread board with the rest of the ingredients, using more flour if necessary until smooth and elastic, Return to bowl, cover closely and set in warm place till double its bulk. Form into plain loaves or divide dought into 3 or 4 parts, roll into long strands and with 3 of the strands make a braid. Place in large twist like a rile and lay lengthwise down centre of bread, Brush with yolks of egg beaten, sprinkle with poppy seed over all. Let rise until double its bulk. Bake in moderate oven % hour until well done and brown. Brown Nut Bread 1% cups graham flour, % cup wheat flour, 134 cups sour milk, 1-8 cup molasses, i/a teaspoon salt, 11/2 teaspoon soda, 1 cup broken wal- nuts. Mix dry ingredients, add milk to molasses and stir well to a smooth batter, but meats last. Place in greased bread pan and bake in mod- erately slow oven 1 hour. Corn Bread 1 cup flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 4 tablespoons sugar, 1 egg, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup sweet milk, 2 tablespoons butter melted, 1 teaspoon salt. Mix dry ingredients by sifting them together. Add milk, the well beaten eggs and the butter. Beat well and bake in a shallow pan in a hot oven 20 minutes. Cinnamon Rolls 2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1-3 teaspoon salt, 2 table- spoons butter, 2-3 cup milk, 2 table- spoons sugar, 1/2 cup stoned raisins chopped fine or currants, 2 table- spoons citron, chopped, fine, 1/2 tea- spoon cinnamon. Mix five first ingredients same as you would for baking powder bis- cuits. Roll to 1/4 inch thickness, brush over with melted butter and sprinkle with raisins, citron, sugar and cinnamon. Roll like a jelly roll. Cut in pieces % inch thick. Place in buttered tins and bake ten or 15 minutes in a hot oven. TO DEFEAT INSOMMIA A sure cure for insommia is to stop thinking. And to stop thinking, according to Lilies MacKinnon, a well-known Bri- tish educationist, it only needs a lit- tle practice. "With practice, one can learn to stop thinking altogether," Liles MacKinnon said. "The way to do is to relax the muscles of the face, in- cluding the muscles of the eyes, and gradually all thought will drift away. "You will have a feeling of delight- ful drowsiness and you will be able to fall asleep at will and at any time. This is a certain cure for insomnia. FOOD SAFE IN OPEN CANS A delusion held by many house- wives for years was exploded last week, as the United States Bureau of Horne Economics decided it is perfectly safe to leave food in tin cans after opening. Food is perfect- ly safe, spoils no faster and no slow- er in the open can than in other con- tainers. Some acid foods like fruit and tomatoes tend to dissolve ir•en, when stored in an open can. This may given the food a slightly metallic taste that is not harmful. If the label on the can advises removing the con- tents as soon as the can is opened, it is because the canners think that an open can, partly filled with food, is not attractive in appearance. HINTS FOR QUILTING Quilting is no more nor less than running stitches, joining two layers of material together usually with an interlining of outting-flannel or cot- ton wading. Though a number of old quilts were put together in very elaborate designs the idea of quilting is to hold the various layers of material together, and not allow the interlining, particularly of cotton wading, to slip and form in bunches. Limbering Up 1 1t.ung Gaels!—lteady to blow the l+bra.ham University eleven into the turf, the kicking depart- ment of the Galloping Gaels of St, Mary's College limber up in New York after long journey from California. Even the very simplest form of quilt- ing, such as diagonal lines, is very decorative, and many simple and ef- fective designs may be worked out with a compass and ruler. When cote ton wading is used as an interlining, the rows of stitches should not be more than an inch apart in order to carry out the original purpose. When quilting a cushion or anything of which both sides do not show the finished article, the design may be stamped on the wrong side and work- ed from that side. The oldtime quilt- ing patterns were drawn on in lead pencil, and by the time the work was finished very little trace of this mark- ing remained. Stale bread rubbed over the surface easily removes any pencil lines that are still visible. If you do not wish to pencil -line your material the paper pattern may be basted to it and the quilting done right through the paper and all. The paper is easily torn away when the work is finished. HINTS FOR THE MOME Wash the corduroys carefully then rinse until the water is clear. Do not squeeze out the water at last rinsing, but throw the garment over the line in a shady place while dripping wet. This keeps the material soft, and fluffy. a: When baking green peppers, ap- ples, or tomatoes, put them in ffin pans. They are easy to remove and will keep their shape better than if cooked close together in a baking tin. TRY IT After pans have been used for strong smelling vegetables, such as onions and cabbage, place a little salt on the hot range and turn the pans upside down over the burning salt. The odor will disappear. THE REAL BOY Show me the boy who never threw A stone at someone's cat; Oh never hurled a snowball swift At someone's high silk hat. Father: I'm surprised that you broke your engagement to Tom. You used to say he was ono In a thousand. Daughter; 1 still think so; but 1 have discovered that he's not the only one In a thousand. Who never ran away from school, To seek the swimming hole; Or slyly from a neighbour's yard Green apples never stole. Show me the boy who never broke A pane of window glass; Who never disobeyed the sign That says "Keep off the grass." Who never did a thousand things, That grieve us sore to tell; And I'll show you a little boy Who must be far from well. . WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES .

Matt. 25:52, TIME—Paul wrote Galatians in A. D, 57. The armistice which ended the World War was signed at Senlis, Nov 11, 1915, PLACE -The Epistle was written in Corinth where Paul spent three months at the close of his third mis- sionary journey. "Tor ye, brethren, were called for freedom." Christ said to the Jews that believed on him, ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "Only use not your freedom for au occasion to the flesh." Do not un- derstand that liberty involves license. "But through love be servants one to another." All living to the flesh is selfish living and the way out of it is unselfish living. "For the whole law (the law of Mo- ses) is fulfilled in one word." That is in one precept one commandment. "Even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" ' This love of one's neighbor summarizes the sec- ond table of the Commandments, set- ting forth our duty toward men; but how about the first table, setting forth our duty toward God? Paul of course does not Intend to onset that or slight it, but he hasin mind the immediate circumstances. "But if ye bite and devour one an- other." The words are of course used figuratively to denote attacks made under the influence of evil passions, and especially through the rancor of party spirit, "Take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.' Paul warns his readers that, if they so far forget the law of love as to act like wild beasts, they will thereby destroy their spiritual life and themselves. "But I say, walk by the Spirit." What does that mean, Walk by the Spirit? It means live as if you were God's children and God were looking upon you as a father, "And ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." The temptations to sin, and especially to the foul sins which beset the Galat- ians recent converts from the most degrading heathenism are only to be met and conquered by the Holy Spirit in one's. heart. "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh Weymouth's translation is good. "For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature. "For these are contrary the one to the other" Christ expressed the thought strongly in his sentence. "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." "That ye may do the things that ye would." Paul did not say, as the Au- thorized Version reads 'Ye cannot do these things that ye would.' Either defeat or victory is possible. "But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not uder the law." What the ap- ostle affirms here is this: If in the course of your lives you are habit- ually swayed by the inward motions of the Spirit of God then you are not subject to the law of the old coven- ant. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest." By the flesh Paul meant man's carnal appetites. The apostle casts no discredit upon the human body, that marvellous exhibition of the Creator's skill, or that body may become the very temple of God, but alas! how many men refile God's tem- ple of the body. "Which are these, fornication, un- cleaness, lasciviousness." These sins of licentiousness were common ac- companiments of idolatry and the very worship in heathen temples op- enly incited men and women to them. "Idolatry." This sums up the three preceding sins being so intimately as- sociated with them. "Sorcery." The use of charms and magic. "Enmities, divisions, parties. This heaping up of ugly words describes the ugly condi- tion of the GaIatian Church, quarrels of all sorts being formented by the Judazires. "Envyings." Another sin allied to the sins of strife just mentioned, "Drunkeness, rdvellings, and such like Drunkenness refers to brutal intox- ication; reveliings to riotous conduct under the influence of liquor espec- ially at night. "Of which 1 forewarn you (margin 'tell you plainly) even as 1 did forewarn you." No particular ad- monition is here specified; • warnings against these sins of course formed the staple of many former discourses. "That they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Cod's kingdom is the reign, of right- eousness; purity and peace., "But the fruit of the Spirit.' Note that Paul writes of the works .of the flesh In the plural but the fruit the Spirit in the singular, Evil is di, visive, producing many varying res- ults, each differently horrible; .but Food Is unified, springing trona, the central Source of all blessedness, and Its results are of .one nature, "15 lave We know now what .God's gift at Pen. tecost was --the love that makes men holy, the power to be Christ -like, 'Joy, pewee, long-suffering, kindness, good - nevi, faithfulness." Peace is the im- passiolted guest for God's goodness and spiritual greatness. Peace is not the dull stupid experience that hides its head in the sand and sees no dan- ger and is never agitated because too ignorant to sense danger. "Meekness, self control." The last quality is translated `temperance in the King. James version but the Greek word means literally self control or self mastery. "Against such there is no law," It is impossible to think of a law against love, joy, peace, or any other of the Christian graces. Possess them, and you are free from the law. "And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the pas- sions and the lusts thereof." If the Christian is risen with Christ above, the death of sin, it is because he has been nailed to Christ's cross before- hand, has shared the sufferings of the Saviour, partaken of his death, re- ceived his sacrificial atonement. We are here at the very heart of our re- ligion. "If we live by the spirit, by the Spirit let uy walk." The Holy Spirit, dwelling in us, is our life, the very existence of our soul. "Let us not become vainglorious." Why should we be proud? What have we of which to be vein? Is it not all of the Holy Spirit? "Provoking one another," By our quarrelling and by our conceit, "Envying one another". Not only challenging others to con- tend for the palm of superiority (pro_ volang them) but hating them for what superiority they may now have. But where vanity breeds withering envy, love can have wholesome emul- ations, Virtue for Two Lucio, in the Manchester Guardian.
