Zurich Herald, 1935-11-28, Page 7Woman's World ay Mair M. Morgan SOMETHING OLD-- SOMETHING LD—SOMETHING NEW Some recipes are so good that no thought is given to changing them and each year they taste 'better — rickled Beets, Mustard Relish, Cel- ery Piclde, and Pear Jam all come from Grandmother's cook -book, while Jewel Jam, Carrot Ketchup, and Apples in Cranberry Juice are quite anew and unusual. The following re- cipes were prepared and tested by Miss Edith L. Elliot, Fruit Branch', Dominion Department of Agri- culture: Pickled Beets Wash beets. Cut off tops leaving about one inch of steins to prevent bleeding. Cook until tender. Remove skins •and if beets are small leave whole, but if large, cut in slices. Pack in a crock or in jars and in each jar put one tablespoon of_ horse- radish. Pour over them a pickle mix- ture using one cup vinegar, 1/z cup water, 3, cup sugar, one teaspoonful salt, boll together and pour .. over beets. Mustard Relish 1 small cabbage 6 large onions 1 head celery 1 large cauliflower 12 green tomatoes 3 green peppers 3 red peppers 12 apples Put all through the mincer, add 2 cups sugar, 2 quarts vinegar, 1 tablespoon tumeric, 1/4 lb. mustard, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons white pepper, 2 tablespoons celery seed. Mix well and cook ten minutes, bottle while hot. Celery Pickle 6 heads celery, 2 onions, put thro- ugh the mincer. Add -1 cup•)irown sugar, 14 Ib. mustard, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 table- spoon pepper, 2 quarts vinegar, 'y teaspoon tumerie. Mix and simmer slowly 11' hours. Bottle while hot. Pear Jam 10 cups coarsely chopped pears 4 cups sugar % cup chopped preserved ginger with syrup Boil all together until thick Blear. Jewel Jani ' 4 cups chopped quinces 4 cups chopped apples '2 asps •cranberries 2 cups. water Cook cranberries with water and skins and cores of apples. Drain through a jelly bag and to the juice add chopped apples and quinces. Cook five minutes, add five cups sugar. Cook until thick and clear. Carrot Ketchup 4 cups chopped carrots 1 green pepper chopped 1 onion chopped finely 1 cup chopped celery Two cups vinegar, IA cup sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, I%z teaspoon paprika. Cook until thick, press through a fruit press or coarse .sieve, reheat and bottle hot. Apples in Cranberry Juice Peel and quarter apples which will not break down in cooking (snow ap- ples are excellent), pack in jars. To each pint jar allow 1 cup cranber- ries, 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Add water to cranberries and sinks and cores of apples, cook slowly ten minutes, drain, add sugar and bring to a boil, pour over apples. Sterilize ten minutes in a hot water bath, or fifteen minutes in the oven at 275 degrees F. If apples are to be used often we should have variety in their prepar- ation, some change from apple sauce and apple pie however toothsome these may be. Apple Sauce A method for making apple sauce .,quickly and satisfactorily is as fol- lows: and finely Wash the apples; cut in eighths, add sufficient water to prevent burn- ing. urning. Cook until tender in covered saucepan, press through a strainer, sweeten to taste. This method re- tains full food value and gives min- imum waste. Baked Apples 1 pint milk 3 eggs 3 tablespoons sugar 1 grated apple Beat eggs, add sugar, then milk. Strain. Add grated apple and bake in one crust. Apple Souffle 41%z" tablespoons minute tapioca 3/e teaspoon salt 1 cup milk scalded 1-3 cup sugar 3 tablespoon lemon juice 3 eggs yolks beaten until thick and lemon' colored 3 egg whites stiffly beaten 1 cup grated raw apple, or drained cooked apple pulp Add minute tapioca and salt to milk, and cook in double boiler 15 minutes, or until tapioca is clear, stirring frequently, Add sugar. Cool. Add egg yolks, lemon juice, and apples. Fold in egg whites. Bake in greased baking dish, placed in pan of hot water, in moderate oven (325 degrees F.) 1 hour. Serve hot with sweetened whipped cream. Serves 8. If desired, the whipped cream may be forced through a pastry tube in- to rosettes on waxed graper, and frozen in the freezing tray of an automatic refrigerator. * * SPICE YOUR MEAL WITS THESE SURPRISES Do you try to give your fancily food variety, or do you stick to the same old way of cooking day in and day out? Itis not as hard as you think to make your meals a . little different. If food tl at is usually served on a platter comes to the table in a bak- ing dish interest is immediately aroused. Meat baked with clever sea- soning has an entirely different flavor than the same meat fried or even broiled. Surprise the family by omitting potatoes and serve a creamy rice pudding for dessert. It isn't necessary to serve expert sive, out -of -season foods. The good root vegetables such as carrots and turnips are savory and appetizing and the finest chefs appreciate and make full use of the full -flavored onion. and Peaches Baked Steaks One and one-half pounds sirloin steak, 4 medium sized carrots, 2 tea- spoons salt, at teaspoon pepper, 4 good sized onions, 2 small turnips. Trim steak and dredge with flour. Put in a baking pan and cover with carrots and turnips which have been pared • and cut in dice, Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour a few table- spoonfuls of water over vegetables. Bake in a moderate oven for 45 min- utes. Peel onions and cut in halves. Dip in melted butter and arrange over vegetables and meat. Continue to bake 45 more minutes or until steak and vegetables are tender. Serve from baking dish. Of course you may use any com- bination of vegetables you prefer, but don't forget the onions because they add so much to the savoriness of the dish. A can of tomatoes pour- ed over the steak when it's put in the oven is another way to vary the connection. If you want to sprinkle a cup of grated cheese over the whole thing about ten minutes before sending to the table—just long enough to melt the cheese—you have something else again. Creamy Rice Pudding Two cups milk, 3 tablespoons rice, 1/iM teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 table- spoon butter. Angle For Posterity This 190 -pound sailfish, caught by President Roosevelt after a fierce battle during recent vaca- tion, is being prepared for display by the Smithsoni an Institute.

CUNDAY _ESSOP4 J GENERAL.— MacDONALD—NOV 14 and the Levites, and the singers ' The Levitical order of singers was instituted during the reign of David (1 C1iron. 15:17-24), of whom there appear to have been twenty-four classes (1 Chron. 25:9-31). "And the porters." These were doorkeepers from among the Leirtes. "And the 110athinim." A class subordinate to the evites, but ranking before the ser- vants of Solomon in the services of tihe temple (Ezra 2:43). Their origin ifs hid in great obscurity. "Unto Je- ,u salem, in the seventh year of Ar- xeixes the king." That is, 45S B.C. LESSON IX — December 1 EZRA'S MISSION TO JERUSALEM. Ezra 7:6.10; 8;21.23, 31, 32 GOLDEN TEXT. — The hand of God is upon all them that seek him, for Good. Ezra 8:22. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME — 45S B.C. PLACE — The cities of Babylon and Jerusalem, and on the banks of the river Ahava, which cannot now be determined, though many con- jectures have been made. "This Ezra went up from Babylon." The actual journey from Babylon to Jerusalem is not recorded until 8:31. "And he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah, the God of Israel, had given." The scribe in the days of Monarchy was the king's. State Secretary or Chancellor ( 2 Sam. 8:17; 20:25; 1 Chron. 18:16; 2 Kings 18:18; 22:3, etc.). "And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Je- hovah his God upon- him." What Ezra's request was of Artaxerxes, we are not told, but we can probably de,. termine it by considering the letter given by Artaxerxes, which is copied into this chapter. "And ,there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, Wash rice. Mix ingredients and pour into a buttered baking dish. Bake three hours in a low oven (352 degrees F.) Stir three times during the first hour to prevent rice from settling. Serve either hot or cold. * * * HOME HINTS $ When buying a winter coat, do not think that the weight of the coat determines its warmth. A light- weight, fluffy material is oftentimes warmer than a much heavier ment. gar - When necessary to make icing quickly for cup cakes, place a marsh- mallow on each cake and toast' slight- Iy. Stoekings should not be gartered so tightly that when seated there is an. unnecessary strain that will cause a runner. Rub the griddle -with' a small bag of salt instead of using grease and the cakes will be cooked without smoke or odor. Place a piece of bread in the pot in which cabbage or cauliflower is cooking and it will eliminate much of the unpleasant odor. Much less sugar will be required to sweeten applesauce if the sugar is added to it just before it is remov- ed from the range. 3 FU MANCHU O 1981 By Sex Rch ::u WI The nen SyndicilN, ids "And he came to Jerusalem in the fth month, which was in the seventh year of the king." The fifth month was the month Ab, corresponding, approximately to our August. "For upon the first day of the' first month began he to go up from Baby- lon; and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, accord- ing to the good hand of his God upon him." The journey lasted through the eighteenth day of the first month, that is, Nisan, and 'the three months Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz; in all about one hundred and eight days. "For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah." This verse is probably the greatest single descrip- live picture of the true teacher and student'of'the ` World 'of God: to <be, found in the entire Old Testament. "And to do it". He did not attempt to preach what he had not tried to live. He would test the effect of his doctrine on himself before venturing to prescribe it for others. "And to teach Israel statutes and ordinances." These two words are frequently found together (e.g., Lev. 26:46; Deut. 4:1, 5, 8, 14; 2 Chron. 7:17; 19:10; Mal. 4:4). "Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God." The fast is not proclaimed •with any ,special confession of sin. Ezra ap- points the fast: (a) as the symbol of submission before God's will and of repentence from sin; (b) as the Mears of intensifying religious fevor in prayer through the restraint laid upon physical appetite; (c) as the testimony that . 'man lives not by bread alone.' "To seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. A straight way means a true road, from which they would not be compelled to turn aside on account of robbers or- enemies, and a level road, free from great difficulties (cf. Isa. 43). "For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horse- men to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all of them that seek him, for good; but his power. and his wrath is against all themthat for- sake him."

Heat Soil In Order To Speed Up Growth Ottawa.—Electric soil heating for propagation of seeds and promoting growth of plants to be set out in fields, is making headway in Canada.

Also in hotbeds and cold frames for propagating seeds cold tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, egg plant peppers, cucumbers, mel- ons certain flowers, and sweet po- tatoes, the use of electric soil heat- ing has proven valuable. sought our God for this: and he was entreated of us." We must not con- found this state of self humilation before God with the totally different condition of abject fear which shrinks from danger in contemptible cowar- dice. The very opposite to that is the attitude of these humble pilgrims. "Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the land of the enemy and the lier-in-wait by the way." The ventures of faith are ever rewarded. We cannot set our ex- pectations from God too high. What we dare scarcely hope now, we shall one day remember. "And we came to Jerusalem, and abode of three days." The entire journey took about four months, at an average rate of approximately eight miles a day. Inventor Proclaims , 'Flying Sait' Success! Banff, .Alta.—Development o: ost "flying suit" making fllghif possible) without the aid of airplanes is claimw ed by John ICropoez, 65 -year-old ins venter. Kropocz, a native of Yugoslays who quit his job in a hotel hero t devote his whole time to the flyinti suit said he had .completed a model which, in tests, has proven its efi fieieney. It has yet to be tried soul by man. Ile has completed an aluminum suit with metal wings and a seriel of springs, operated on the prin. ciple of the gramophone. 1Cropocl calls his •invention the "metal man.'' The suit is designed for attaching to the shoulders and around the wairA The wings axe attached to a tub containing the power springs. Once started, the machine may bq pedalled by treading a device foe( that purpose. A ground level start however, is not possible. The wear. or would have to jump from a height to get it into the air. A safety coat inflated with hydro. gen balloons fastened to the lining; is another feature of the flying suit. Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage, they form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed . and its de.. tails adorned. If they are super- ficial, so are the dew -drops which give such a depth to the morning meadows.—Emerson.
