She claims that crearl, and especi- ally sour creatn, used in place of shortening, not only cols clown tiiixing• time a whole lot, but results in products that have a delicious taste and texture all their own. 4$Aftcr watching pity fani;ly one day put away a lovely pie in two minutes fiat," she states, "a pie that had taken me half an hour in a hot kitchen to make, I decided thea and there to use more of the simpler and less time-eonsurniug desserts, as well as other sweets," She searched for recipes that were simple, Yet good, but found none to compare in goodness to one she ran across for a Sour Cream Calve. It is delicious eaten plain, and especially tempting to those who do not care for frosted calves. From 'that original recipe, the Iady worked out a number of inter- esting variations—five distinctly dif- ferent cakes, as well as a variety of cup cakes and drop cookies Sonic of them I am passing along to ren readers Bust first two or three Hints regarding this kind' of "short-, erring." In using sour cream for baking, one good rule to remember is that one-half • teaspoon of soda is sufficient for one cup of sour cream. Second, by using one level teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of flour one ruay bake muffins, pancakes, waffles, corn bread and many other things with really fine results And finally—if no sour cream is at hand, just add two tea- spoons of vinegar to each cup of sweet cream, SOUR CREAM CAKE (Basic Recipe) 2 eggs 1 cup cane or beet sugar 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla . 134 cups flour teaspoon soda' 1% teaspoons baking powdar teaspoon salt Method: Break eggs hi: •bowl, beat and add sugar, cream.and vaiiilla.

NDAYSCH001 LESO By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A„ B.D. Personal Commitment to Jesus Christ. Matthew 16; 2.1-25; Mark 1; 16-20; Phillippians 1; 19-26. Golden Text: For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Phillippians 1; 21. The slogan today is, "Look out for yourself." Jesus taught and exemplified a different way of life. He said, "Whosoever will ,ave his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sale shall find it." The individual %rho lives for self is missing the real enjoy- lient of life, but the one who puts rinrself wholly to use for Jesus "lirist really finds life. It was a great day for the four ishermen when they responded to lie call, "Colne yc after me, and I vill make you fishers of men."

Plato lived sol -no centuries before Christ when the continent of America was undiscovered, and his story that beyond the Pillars of Hercules — Gibraltar — there had once existed a mighty land and nation, was discounted by the wise men of the clay as nonsense because everyone knew that the Pillars of Hercules marked the farthest end of the earth. Finding Proof Plato journeyed to Egypt to find � proof. He found that not only did the Egyptians believe they had sprung from a race of white people who lived in a land of golden tem- ples far away in the West, but be was shown solid gold statuettes of great antiquity which, said the Egyptian priests, had been washed up by the sea after a great flood had destroyed the entire country Plato was convinced, but every- one else laughed at him, and after he died the whole stow was put down to iniagiiration, and for almost two thousand years the story was forgotten, until America was dis- covered and the Spaniards tried to bring Eastern civilisation to the natives Among the missionaries who penetrated deep into the interior and befriended the Incas, Aztecs and other Indian peoples was Diego da Landa, who was later created the first Bishop of Yucatan. He was a learned man who had studied the ancient languages of the Old World and the history bf the Phoenicians. He knew, for instance, that all the languages of the Old World had originally sprung from the Phoenician alphabet, in which letters were represented by pictures. He was the most amazed man in the world when he found ancient monuments in the heart of America on which were tablets inscribed in the Phoenician picture language There could be no shadow .of doubt about it, for many of the let- ters were identical while others had obviously had the same root source and had altered slightly during the Passing of time. As one instance of this, Da Landa names of them were Colima, Coiva and Zuivan, and this was the final fact which convinced hint. For in ancient Armenia, across five thou- sand miles of octan, there had been towns called Choliina, (:ohua and Guivana • Da Landa was publicly ridiculed and Rome warned flim of the heresy of discounting the story of the Garden of Eden and replacing it with the Plato theory of Atlantis. But after his death, one or two scientists continued his work and ever since them more and more evidence has been brought to light. The ancient belief of the Egypt- ians that their nation was founded by a fair-haired, blue-eyed god who carne up out of the sea and, when he had done his work, returned to his onvli country in the «'cst, is balanced by the ancient belief of the Incas and Aztecs of a fair-hair- ed; blue-eyed god who came up out of the sea and founded their nation and then went back to his home—in the East Unfortunately all this is circum- stantial evidence. There isnot a single jot of concrete proof that Atlantis did exist Future archaeo- logical excavations in Central Anter ica may one day bring that concrete proof to light, and when that hap- pens our history books will have to be rewritten. Your Heart's Been Stopped for Fears If you live until you are severity your heart will have stopped beat- ing for 21 years! This is no fairy tale, but a fact that has - been known to doctors ever since Harvey first propounded his theory of the circulation of the blood. In a normal adult person the heart beats at the rate of 70-72 times a minute, or once in each 0.8 seconds. This means that. it beats 104,000 times a day. Between beats it rests for about 0.2 of a second which, if worked out, comes to roughly 21 years of inactivity. A rest of 21 years in seventy would indicate that it is the laziest organ in the hiiman body, This is not the case. Your heart does any- thing -but idle. Every minute it beats it pumps five ,to six pints of blood through each right and left ventricle, and so throughout the whole body. This works out at roughly 50,000,000 gal- lons in a lifetime. That is when the body is com- pletely at •rest.
