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. two stiffly -beg - .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. Brown Betty 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. * * * cold suc- ''rhe, gale -battered trawler "Shegness" fast on the rocks under Speeton Cliff, Yorkshire, Eng- land, where she was driven :ashore' in heavy gale.

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. FU MANCHU 1 l 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. 3 Be .A Comforter Do you know a shut4li, Or one that's feeling bluetl Aid take your Pon and, papet And write a line or two, • You may have a message, Or a thought of cheer, 'Would shed a ray of sunshine, A -gleaming down the year..: It may be an effort, But put that thought in ink, It may do more good to one, Than you would ever think. "Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuch- adnezzar, king of Babylon, cane Neb- uzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem." Nebuzaradan was literally the captain of the execution. ers, i.e., the one who commands those who are commissioned to execute the kings' commands, especially his death sentences, and so the captain of the guard (Gen. 37 : 36). . "And he burnt the house of Je- hovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire." In this conflagration, the common houses were spared for the poor who were left. palm•. ... _.. ,. .,. "The famine was 'Sore -iii -the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land," The horrors of the siege are referred to in Lamen- tations 2 : 11-20; 4 : 3-10; Ezek. 5 : 10. "Then a breach was made in the city." The breach was made with bat- tering rams such as are depicted on Assyrian sculptures. "And all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate be- tween the two walls, which was by the king's. garden." The two walls were necessary for the protection of the Pool of Siloam and the water supply. "Now the Chaldeans were against the city round about."

Write a hit and even your best friend won't mention it after a month." — Irving Berlin. "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. "And the residue of the people were left in the city." These captives are probably to be taken as the chief part of the noncombatant part of the pop- ulation of Jerusalem and. Judah. seem to indicate that, even by this route, the king and his followers had to break through the enemy's lines, as the city would seem to have been completely invested. "And the king went by the way of the Arabah." The rabah was that deep valley running from north to south in which the Jordan flows, and which was, consequently, located some miles to the east of the city. of Jerusalem. "But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plain Jericho ; and all his army was scred from Wm." In the neighborhood of .iFericho, the Arebah expand to the breadth of el- even or twelve "miles. "Then they took the king, and car- ried ,him up unto the king of Baby- lon to:,'Riblah; and they gave judg- ' ment -upon him." Nebuchadnezzar, ••t'autt cuabC....Gu i._' - J12--'w.v.a.e y. fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebu- zaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive." These, no doubt, were the deserters (see Jer. 27 : 12; 37 : 13 ff.; 38 : 2, 4, 17, 19). "But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vine - dressers and husbandcnen." These agriculturists were allowed to re- main in the land that crops might be raised which could be taxed or seiz- ed by the invaders. It is not consider- ed a policy of wisdom on the part of any conquering power to leave fer- tile areas uncultivated and a nation utterly barren and depopulated. Girl Retains Use Of Legs After Infantile Paralysis Two Blouses, One Pattern! St. Paul, — All the world smiled recently for Audrey Carlson, 18 of Dassel, Minn.
