,CHAMPION COOKS USE ONLY
FINE 1NGREDIENTS
Flavor and Texture Most Important
in Prize Winning
Just now when fresh ripe fruit is
coming on the market, ambitious
eooks are. making up their jars of
fruit for winter use and for exhibi-
tione and contests. About half the
battle in really good cooking is in
knowing what the finished product
should be like — to recognize per-
fection.
Champion cooks have found that
flavor and texture are most import-
ant. In judging jelly, for instance, 75
out of 100 is given for flavor and
texture. This flavor is, of course, the
zestful tang of the fresh, fully -ripe
fruit and jelly of perfect texture
holds its shape when turned out of
a glass, yet quivers when the plate
ton which it rests, is moved.
. Many cooks will produce a jelly
that sets, but which slumps with a
weary lurch when it is turned out of
the jar. An even greater number of
cooks never achieve a really flavor -
Some jelly. Year after year they
boil under -ripe fruit and sugar for a
long time to concentrate enough
pectin to get a 'jelly, and while
under -ripe fruit has more pectin
than the better quality ripened fruit,
it hasn't the fine flavir of the ripe
product, and whatever flavor it has
deteriorates in the long cooking.
Of all the gorgeous Canadian
fruits of which much flavor is -sacri-
ficed in jelly -making, red currants
top the list. This is because under -
ripe cuarants are used.
Modern cooking methods haus
eliminated that waste of fine red
).currant flavor by the addition of
ism. fruit pectin to give a -jelly of
perfect flavor and texture. Recipes
for use with concentrated liquid
pectin are simple ant! economical
and the first rule is to follow them
accurately.
I-Iundreds of cooks have taken first
prize for both black and redcurrant
jelly made from the following re-
cipe:
Red or Black Currant Jelly.

7 cups (3 lbs.) sugar

sugar as can be dissolved in it with-
out thickening. This makes an ex-
cellent salad for a children's party,
for it contains nothing except the
foods children like, and is strongly
alkaline in its reaction.
SCALLOPED POTATOES
Into a well -buttered baking dish
put a layer of thinly sliced potatoes,
salt, pepper and a thin scattering of
finely cat cheese and, one-half the
thin white sauce (1 tablespoon flour,
1 tablespoon butter, to 1 cup milk).
Repeat and cover with buttered
crumbs, Bake in moderate oven about
an hour, until the white sauce bub
les through and the potatoes are
well done andbrownon top. If cheese
is omitted, add small pieces of but-
ter to each layer of potatoes. In
order to save time of making cream
sauce, a small amount of dry flour
can be sprinkled over layers of
potato, and milk added to cover the
potatoes.
GARNISHED PLATTER
Cold boiled ham, . French friend
potatoes, green peas and a slice of
tomato make an excellent platter for
supper. Place the tomato on a crisp
leaf of lettuce and surround it with
a trio of pickles—an onion, a piece
of cauliflower and a small whole
cucumber—and you will make the
platter far more attractive. Further-
more, you will have added to its
piquancy and to its food value.
TASTY MACARONI DISHES
Do you want something "different"
for the family—something that will
"just touch the spot" at the evening
meal? Then try one of these tasty,
Y.ealthful, easy -to -prepare macaroni
dishes. Either recipe is very easy to
follow, and the result is very easy to
enjoy:
Macaroni With Tomato Sauce
Break the macaroni into short
lengths. Cover with plenty of boiling
water and boil until soft, . twenty to
thirty minutes generally being re-
quired. Stir occasionally with a fork
to prevent sticking to the kettle.
Turn into a sieve 'and drain thoro-
ughly. Place in the serving -dish and
cover with tomato sauce. Serve
grated; cheese with it. This cheese
may be milted with the tomato sauce.

HOUSEHOLD USES FOR SALT
At this time of the year garden-
ing is the favourite outdoor sport of
Many families. A little salt goes a
long way in the successful cultivat-
ion of a flower or vegetable garden.
It does any ;garden good to give it
very light applications of salt, about
nce ounce for every square yard.
Such yegetables as beets, asparagus
and onions, and flowering plants
Ouch as sabbatia, grow better for a
Minch of salt.
SUMMER HODGE PODGE
Cut up a liberal supply of any
fruits and berries you have on hand,
mixing then- as you would for a
fruit cup or punch. Oranges, apples,
pineapples, grapes, cherries, peaches,
ears, plums, strawberries, rasp-
berries—all are goo , and there
Should be at least . three or four
varieties used. Cook, place on crisp
lettuce leaves, and just before serv-

of royalty. The king held it in his
hand when he sat in council (22:6),

"Then said Abishai to David, God
hath delivered up thine enemy into
thine hand this day: now therefore
let me smite him, I pray thee, with
the spear to the earth at one stroke,
and I will not smite him the second
time." A natural desire, on the part
of Abishai, in such a time of pur-
suit, and with the odds s'r greatly in
favor of Saul.
"And David said to Abishai, De-
stroy him not; for who can put forth
his hand against Jehovah's anointed,
and be guiltless ?" The divine provi-
dence thus gives David opportunity
not to slay his enemy, but rather to
conquer hint by a new kindness.
"And David said, As Jehovah
liveth, Jehovah will smite him." As
anointed Saul was God's property.
Therefore only God's hand could
tauch his life. "Or his day shall
come to die;" i.e., he may die a na-
tural death. "Or he shall go down in-
to battle, and perish.".

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
TIME. — David was born in 1092
B.C., and died at the age of seventy,
in 1022 B.C. The passage in I -amu
el falls probably about 1068 B.C.,
B.C., when the time of Saul's` `death
was about 1063 B.C.
PLACE. — The life of David is
identified at various periods with a
great many places in Palestine. His
second sparing of Saul took place at
Hachilah, about 20 miles north of
Jerusalem. The report of Sail's
death comes to him while he is at the
city of Zizlag, the exact identifica-
tion of which is not known.
"And David arose." He was hiding
in the wilderness of Ziph. "And came
to the place where Saul had decamp-
ed; and David beheld the r• place
where Saul lay, and Abner the son of
Ner, the captain of his shots:" See

"How are the mighty fallen in the
midst of the battle!" (Ps. 42:5, 11;
43:6; 107:8, 15, 21, 31). "Jonathan is
slain upon thy high places." The hero
of a hundred fights, slain at last in
those mountain strongholds of his
country which he had once won and
defended so successfully (1 Sam.
14).
"I am distressed for thee, my
brother Jonathan, very pleasant hast
thou been unto me: thy love to me
was wonderful, passing the love of
women." This may be supposed to
include both the love of the bride
for her husband and the love of the
mother for her son. They that love
one another perfectly are made one
soul by their disposition of mind.
"How are the mighty fallen, and
the weapons of war perished!" The
weapons of war are the heroes of
war considered as instruments of
battle. Not only is there in David's
lament no revengeful feeling at the
death of 'his persecutor ... but he
dwells with unmixed love on the
brighter recollections of the departed.

"So David took the spear and the
curse of water from Saul's head;
and then gat them away: and no
man saw it, nor knew it, neither did
any awake." A most vivid sentence.
"For they were all asleep, because a
deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen
upon them" The word is used es-
pecially of supernaturally caused
sleep (e.g„ Gen. 2:21, 15:12).
"Saul and Jonathan were lovely
and pleasant in their lives." Perhaps
rather, loving and kindly. The words
express the mutual affection which
existed between father and son.
f'And in their death they were not
divided." • What gentler veil could be
drawn over the horrors of their
bloody death and mutilated bodies
than in these tender words? "They
were swifter than eagles." Cf. Jer.
4:13; Hab. 1:8. "They were stronger
than lions" Cf. 17:10; Judg. 14:18.
It's Smart !
"Ye daughters of Israel, in eepa le-

lead in public festivities on joyful oc-
casions, so it was they who remem-
bered the fallen h when ornaments vas

n.curning. "Who put
gold upon your apparel." This inci-
dental, mention indicates how much
Saul's sucessful wars, so briefly al-
luded to in the history of his reign
(1 Sang. 14:47), had enriched the na-
tion.

The. terrible capacity for destruct.,

Darwin, Northern Australia. Short.
circuits had constantly severed the%
telephone service, and it was found
that white ants had eaten through'
cement, an inch thickness of earth»
enware, a thick coating of vasclinei
and arsenic, a quarter -inch lean
cable and the insulation of the tele-
phone wires!
Yet in Burma this very destruct
iveness is turned to account. Sandal-
wood is one of the country's most
precious assets, but the hard and
fragrant' heart wood alone has value,
As the tree grows, the valuable
heart is overlaid by a soft and worth-
less layer, forming eventually two-
thirds of the trunk.
It is here the the white ant comes
to man's aid. When the tree is fell-
ed and cut into lengths it is allowed
to lie, and at once the ants get busy
on the soft wood, which is sappy and
sweet enough to attract them first.
In a few weeks they deliver the
heart free of all the worthless sap
wood.
