SOME NEW APPLE DISHES
Everybody knows, of course, about
eating apples raw for the sake of
the teeth, and baked or steamed
apples are fine for babies.
Nearly all salads, whether they
are fruit, vegetable or meat, are
better for the addition of a few
apples. Cubes of tender, -crisp ap-
ple' add flavor and body to fruit
cups, too.
Apples for -pie, sauce and pud-
dings to be baked should be tart,
well -flavored and of fine texture to
insure quick cooking.. Those wanted
for baking should be perfectly
formed, firm and of good size. If
they are too delicate in grain, they
will fall apart while baking and. be
unattractive for serving. .
Add Sugar Last
When you make apple sauce,
remember the rule of adding su-
gar to fruit after the fruit is
cooked. Less sugar is needed to
sweeten the sauce and the flavor
is more delicate that way. If you
have not carefully trimmed out
all bruised spots before cooking,
the sauce should be rubbed through
a colander because the bruished flesh
of apples becomes hard and tough
after cooking. Also be sure that
every particle of core is cut out,
especially if children are to eat the
sauce.
Apple sauee with pork, and
roast goose is an old story, but
try itwith veal and chicken, too.
Baked apples are a perfect des-,
sett to serve with a lamb chop
dinner. Minted apples are , good
with roast lamb. Instead of using
a leg of lamb, choose the shoulder
and have the butcher bone it for
you. Save the bones for broth the
next day. Then make a stuffing
and fill the boned cut, tie securely
and roast as usual.
Fruit Snowballs
Both the grown-ups and children
alike will come for second helpings
of apple snowballs:
Peel, core and slice the apples, put
them into a saucepan with sufficient
water to prevent them burning, gent-
ly simmer until soft, then beat to
a pulp with sugar to taste. -
Allow the fruit to cool, then stir
in'beaten whites of eggs.

.Ful,' Into balls sprinkle""cairn shred-
ded coconut and place a cherry on
the top of each. Serve with custard'
er junket.
Delicious Chutney
As an accompaniment to
meat, apple chutney is a great
cess:
Weight two pounds of hard, green
apples, and after paring and coring,
chop them into small pieces with
two large onions and 1 lb. sultanas.
Mix together 4 oz. salt, 4 oz.
ground ginger, 1 oz. mustard seed,
1/2 oz. chillies and a little garlic, if
liked, add two tablespoons. vinegar
and mix to a paste.
Put the apples, onions and sul-
tanas into a stewpan, pour over 21/2
pints of vinegar, then simmer gently
for half an hour. Add the paste
and heat gently until boiling, then
add 1 ib. demerara- sugar and con-
tinue boiling until the chutney is
soft and thick. Stir with a .wooden
spoon to prevent burning, then pour
into jars, tie down and store in a
cool, dry place.

The following recipe was found in
an eighty-year-old cookery -book.
Pare, core, and slice some fi nejuicy
bu'E not sweet apples. Cover with
apples the bottom of a large, deep
pie -dish. Sweeten then well with
plenty of brown sugar, adding grated
lemon or orange peel. Strew over
them a thick layer of breadcrumbs,
and add to the crumbs a few bits of
butter. Then put in another layer
of cut apples and sugar, followed by
a second layer of breadcrumbs and
butter. Next, more apples and sugar;
then more breadcrumbs and butter,
repeating until the dish is full enil
finishing with breaderumbs. Bake
until -the apples are soft and send to
the table hot.

POT ROAST IS
A BIG FAVORITE
It's unbelievable 'that anything so
good as pot roast can be made frorn
such inexpensive cuts. And pot roast
gravy is the best of the gravy
species. Only be sure to see that it
stars in .the meal.
Don't serve it with creamed pota-
toes, good as they are, but with plain
boiled, mashed or rieed potatoes, to
be slathered in gravy.
All the fall vegetables combine
well with pot roasts. They may be
cooked surrounding the meat- or
separately. The only difference. is
that when vegetables are 'cooked
with the meat, the gravy becomes
flavored.
An iron kettle with an iron cover
or any heavy aluminum kettle with
a close fitting` cover will do for pot
roast.
Pot Roast of Beef
A boned and rolled rump roast is
a favorite cut. Choose .one weigh-
ing at least three pounds and if the
fancily aren't too hungry you should
have enough for two meals.
Three pounds beef, 2 tablespoons
salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2 table-
spoons flour.
Trim fat from meat and try out in
kettle. Strain and return three
tablespoons melted fat to kettle.
Heat and when sizzling add meat.
Brown on all sides, turning fre-
quenFtly. Be careful not to pierce
with fork. When meat is brown all
over, cover closely and' cook over a
low fire for three hours or until
:meat 'is tender. I never add water
because the cover- of my kettle fits
so tightly that none of the moisture
from the meat has a chance to es-
capeThut you may need to add x
cup boiling water to prevent burn-
ing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
when meat has been cooking about
2 hours. When ready to serve re-
move meat to hot platter and keep
hot. Measure liquid in kettle and
add ,enough boiling water to m2l,e
two cups. Return to the fire 'aria
bring to the boiling point. Stir in
flour which has been stirred toa
smooth paste with 3 tablespoons
cold water. Cook. Stirring con-
stantly for five minutes. Pour into
gravy boat and serve.
Veal_ is delicious pot roasted this
sane way.
Scalloped parsnips and pineapple
is a- delicious dish to serve with a'
veal pot roast.
Parsnips and Pineapple
Four good sized parsnips, 1 small
pineapple, or 1 can pineapple slic-
es, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2
teaspoon salt, 1 cup boiling water, 1
bouillon cube.
Scrub and scrape parsnips. Par-
boil. Cut in rounds about 1/2 inch
thick. Cut pineapple in pieces of
equal size and shape. Place in alter-
nate layers in a buttered baking
dish, sprinkling each layer with
brown sugar and cinnamon ' and dot-
ting with butter and flour rubbed to-
gether. Use 2 tablespoons flour.
Sprinkle with salt and pour in boil-
ing water with bouillon cube dis-
solved in it. Bake in a moderate
oven until both parsnips and pine-
apple are tender. It will take about
45 minutes. Serve from baking dish.

POSSIBILITIES OF LAMB
What a lucky thing it is for home-
makers that lamb is so plentiful
this fall! Fresh lamb is so versatile
it can be used for any meal in the
day, from breakfast right on throug
lunch and dinner to the late midnigh
snack when hungry folk raid ..
refrigerator for a last choice m
before retiring.. If there is same
cold roast lamb in the refrigerator,
it can be counted on to please.
In fact, it is considered wise to"
choose a larger roast than you need
for one meal, so that in case of un-
expected
nexpected company when you would
like to serve sandwiches or a "hurry-
up" substantial dish, you can do so
with ease. You need never be afraid
of fresh lamb being wasted for, if
the company never comes, there is
always breakfast and lunch ahead.
"The possibilities of left -over
fresh lamb as a breakfast or Iuncheon
meat are legion", says Inez S. Wil-
son, noted home economist, "and
there are so many dishes which re-
quire such a little time in prepar-
ation, too. For instance, creamed
lamb served with hot baking powder'.
biscuits makes a substantial break-
fast which is nice enough for com-
pany, and one which is appreciated
by every member of the family. Or
if baking powder biscuits are too
much bother, serve it on toast points
—it will still be appreciated."
A few other tasty ways of serving
left -over lamb, ,are.:" sliced cold, a-
round hot spinach with sliced hard-
boiled. eggs; sliced and Heated in
gravy with a Mashed potato border;
scalloped with. macaroni, tomato
sauce and crunilArcubed in casserole
with potato, peas, carrots and
gravy; and chopped lamb baked with
a mashed potato crust.
Tar—Soften with warns oil; put a
blotter under the mark to absorb
the stain and pour benzine onWlit.
Wash thoroughly afterwards
soap and water. Be careful when
using benzine because of inflam-
mable. quality.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
TIME. — Jehoiakim, the seventeenth
king of Judah, was :enthroned by Pha-
raohuecho, 607 B.C„ and reigned un-
til 59? B.C. Jehotac'hin was king that
year for three Months. Zedekiah,
the last of the 'kings, reigned from
597 to 587 B.O. " Jerusalem was des-
troyed in 587 B.C.
PLACE. — For the most part, the
cities of Jerusalem and Babylon.
"And it came to pass in the nint.i
year of his reign." That is, in the
ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah,
and„ consequently, B.C. 588.
"In the tenth month, in the tenth
day of the month." Cf. the similarly
exact dates in Ezekiel 24 : 1, 2. The
days were observed as fasts after,
the exile (Zech. 7 : 3, 5, 8 : 19).
"That Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon came, he and all his army,
against Jerusalem, and encamped
against it" It is evident from verse
six that Nebuchadnezzar did not
come to Jerusalem himself, but re-
mained at Riblah (23 : 33), and sent
his army from thence 'against Jeru-
salem.
"And they built forts against it
round about." More accurately bul
warks or siege -works.
"So, the city was besieged unto the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah."
"On the ninth day of the fourth
month." The siege lasted all together
,one year, five months, twenty-seven
with the grandness of his court, held
a solemn trial of Zedekiah, as a re-
bel against his liege lord, in which,
no doubt, his breach. of oath was
made prominent.
"And they slew the stns of Zede-
kiah before his eyes, and put out the
eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in
fetters, and carried him to Babylon."
Ezekiel had predicted Zedekiah's
blindness (Ezek. 12 : 1.3). Jeremiah
52 : 11 tells us that Zedekiah re-
mained in prison until he died.

"And all the army of the Chaldeans,
that were with the captain of the
captain of the guard, brake down the
walls of Jerusalem round about." The
walls were broken down first, of
course, to allow the soldiers readier
access to the city itself, and, in the
second place, they were broken down
to eliminate the possibility of the
city's being defended again by any
returning body of Judaean soldiers.

crippled children after a year in bed
while surgeons added 4/ inches to

When the girl was seven years old
infantile paralysis impaired the
growth of the leg. Two bone -length-

length to the other.
