Zurich Herald, 1933-03-30, Page 3Woman 's rid By MAIR M. MORGAN "A Woman's Place Is In the Home Delicious Dishes To many persons creamed dried beef is just creamed dried beef—a More or less tasteless and rather un= aatisfactory dish resorted to in a dull moment. But when care is taken in Its making it becomes a palatable and Appetizing coaconction. Thesecret of delectable creamed dried beef lies in "frizzling" the beef before adding the cream'sauce. Dried beef is lacking in Pat so this must be supplied. Melt butter in . frying pan, add beef carefully picked in small pieced with all bits of stringy tissue removed and cook overt a low fire until the edges of the beef curl. Use one tablespoon flour for each cup of milk used in sauce. Sift flour over beef and stir with a fork until flour is absorbed. Add milk and bring to the boiling point, stirring constantly to make smooth. The sauce made this way is aout the color of old ivory and has a delicious flavor. No salt is needed be- cause the beef furnishes enough salt for the sauce, Pepper may be added if likedd,. One slice of onion and a few celery leaves may be scalded in the milk if a more savory sauce is wanted. Strain to remove vegetables and be sure to cool milk before making sauce. cold -liquid insures a smooth sauce. A very attractive way to serve creamed frizzled _beef is to put the creamed beef in. the centre of a large serving dish. Then arrange long • strips of buttered toast from the beef to the edge of the dish and pile hot potato chips between the toast strips. Garnish wih sprigs of parsley or sprinkle minced parsley over the creamed beef. Potato chips which have been made several days in ad- vance may be re -heated in a moderate' oven to make hot for serving. cs • Macaroni with tomatoes and dried beef is a splendid luncheon dish. It should be served with a. crisp lettuce or cabage salad and a custard dessert. Scrambled eggs gain interest by the addition of dried beef. Frizzle the chipped beef in butter in frying pan be - for adding milk and eggs and then proceed as usual. - - Mushrooms make an effective gar. nish to creamed dried beef as well as ' to scrambled eggs and -beef. Perfect- ly creamed dried beef -'with broiled mushrooms is worthy a' place on any party luncheon table. One-fourth pound dried beet com- bined with other materials will ser\ e fu o r persons ' Stale Cake Hint Certain varieties of cake will keep moist and palatable until the last crumb disappears, but others, particu- larly sponge cakes and plain white cakes, become dry and undesirable the second day after they are baked. There are man really y delicious des- serts that can be made with stale cake if the cook uses a little ingenuity. A light cake which is very dry can be crumbled, soaked in milk until soft, and then combined with eggs to make a very acceptable pudding. The procedure is almost identica with that for a bread pudding, thoug care must be taken not to make it to sweet when cake crumbs are used. Plain cake which is not dry enough for crumbling, but has lost its fresh- ness, can be cut in pieces for serving and steamed until hot and moist. Serve with a Iiquid sauce and garnish with whipped cream if convenient. Mock tipsy pudding, a light and de- lectable dessert, is made with stale sponge cake or lady fingers. Cut sponge cake in thin, narrow slices and. spread with any kind of jam or pre- serves. Peach or apricot is very good. Arrange in layers in a deep dish and pour two cups of thin boiled custard over cake slices. Let stand over night or for several hours until the cake ab- sorbs the custard. Serve very cold With whipped cream. The custard should be very slightly sweetened 'since the cake and jain are both sweet. eJ1 these suggestions prevent waste and aro a decided means towards economy. CakeCru Pudding Crumb ud in g 1 h o s will take about two cups. Pour over crumbs and let stand until milk Is ab- sorbed. Add yolk of egg and beat well.. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven un- til firm to the,toucb, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Spread with jelly and cover with white of egg beaten until stiff with sugar, Return to a slow oven and bake eight minutes to puff and color meringue, A good uncooked pudding uses two cups dry cake crumbs, 1 cup stewed fruit and 1 cup cream, whipped. Rub fruit through colander to remove stones and skins and make smooth. Mix crumbs and fruit well and fold in cream whipped until firm. Turn into a shallow pan and let stand on ice for several hours to chill and become firm. Cut in squares and serve with more whipped cream, slightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla, Return of the Biscuit Once upon a time no tea table was complete without some kind of bis- cuits. Then cake superseded them, and it was a rare occurrence—usually when there was no cake in the pantry for them to appear on the table. Recently I have noticed on "two or three occasions when I have been at other people's houses, that the little. home-made tea biscuit is returning. With the afternoon cup of tea or the after-dinner cup of coffee they ore ideal. The art of biscuit -making is not easy. Time and care must be bestow- ed upon the making, and particularly the baking. A biscuit should be very crisp and short. You might like try try your hand at making some. Lemon Fingers Beat four ounces of butter and four ounces of sugar to a cream. Add a well -eaten egg and the grated rind of one lemon, a pinch of salt and eight ounces of flour. Mix thoroughly, knead well and roll out. Cut into thin fingers and bake in a cool oven. Coffee Biscuits Into aa lb. of flour and 2 oz. of sugar work 1/4 lb. butter or margarine: Add half a teaspoonful baking pow- der, then work up with one egg beaten up with about a tablespoonful of milk. The dough should be very smooth. Roll out, cut and stamp, and bake in a quick oven until a light brown color. These are plain biscuits to go with after-dinner coffee, but they can be iced if desired. Chocolate Fingers To 4 oz. of flour add about a quarter of a teaspoonful of baking powder. Rub in 39z. 0 of lard. Then add 3 oz. of castor sugar and 3 oz. of cocoa. Pour in one egg and make into a paste. Roll out thin and cut into strips about 1 in. wide and 3 ie. long. Put into a moderate oven and bake until crisp. Useful Hints Many people find sage and onion tufting too rich. If, however, a pinch of ground ginger is mixed in with the other ingredients it will be trend quite digestible as well as a better flavor than usual. i'wo cups cake crumbs, 1 egg, milk, jelly, 2 tabiesiaoons sugar. The amount of .milk needed will de- pend • on the variety* of the cake and on the staleness of the crumbs, but it Fish cakes, rissoles and other fried foods that are mixed with egg often break in cooking. This will not hap- pen if the white only of the egg is used, and they can be turned or moved about in the pan at will and still re- main whole. Add a few drops of parraflin oil to the water in which you wash steps, and your hands will not become chap- ped on chilly mornings. Screening For Effect Screens should play an important part in your interior decorating schemes. Besides being useful for hid- ing unsightly corners, beds and other places you don't want to show, they are decorative. Attractive screens for kitchen can be made by covering an inexpensive screen with squares of oilcloth to match your table cover. Or, if you have an old faded one in the house try covering it with sante cretonne as your curtains. - MUTT AND JEFF- By.

Lesson I—Jesus .Ministering to Jews and Gentiles (World Friend- ship Lesson)—Mark '7: 24-37. Gol- den Text — Other sheep 1• have, which are not of this fold: them also 1 must bring, and they shall hear my voices; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.—John 10. 16. ANALYSIS. I ONE OF THE FAMILY, Mark 7: 24- 30. II How LOVE TRIUMPHS, Mark 7: 31- 376 INTRODUCTION—To-day's lesson will mark another milestone along the Costly 'Way. All attempts to seciire some quiet with his disciples failed:. Further controversies with the Phari- sees (Mark 7: 1-23) widened still more the breach that already separat- ed Jesus from the religious leaders. He decided to go, for the time being, into voluntary exile. rye Ie. In Phoenicia he would be unknown, therefore safe and unmolested. The "Galilean Ministry" was at an end. I ONE OF THE FAMILY, Mark 7: 24- 80. Arriving in the purely heathen ter- ritory of Phoenicia, Jesus took elab- orate precautions to avoid recognition. Nevertheless, he• was discovered. A native woman followed him, implor- ing him to heal her daughter, vs. 24, 25. How did she know hint? Rumors of a wonderful healer had perhaps conte across the borders. Perhaps the disciples, so proud of their Master's healing powers, talked too much. In any case the intuition of one in great trouble told her, "Here is the Healer." Jesus was one of those people, some of whom are still among us, to whom folk in trouble always come. The daughter's illness was apparently one of those pathetic mental and nervous dei angements which seem to have been so common in Palestine in those days. The mother was a "Greek," that is, a pagan. "Syro-phenician" means a Phenician of Syria. The fact of in- terest here is that she was a pagan. She implored Jesus to heal her child. Jesus had come to this country to avoid just this kind of thing. Were his words (v. 27) a hard, unfeeling rebuff; or a very gentle, playful test- ing of the woman's faith? Cold print does not show his kindly smile. which reassured her. It was quite true. Jesua' first duty was. to his own peo- ple. He must try to get them to see the meaning of their long spiritual tzaining. It meant that they were to be the missionaries of the truth to others. Hence his "the children first," then the "little doggies': (the force of ths. word "dog") the domesticated pets of the household—its special care —meant that pagans were part of his family. They were the under -privi- leged, weaker members, IsraeYs spe- cial'care. Thus v. 27, instea., of being harsh, is tender and beautiful. Had the dull leaders of he nation, and the later "Christian" nations, grasped WHAT'S- MY EYES. x CANT RGA1� AtvYtt4IMG I3UT TW. alaAleLINC 3. L- DIDN'T KNOW T 1-4Ab S CIA WCAI< ENCS. GEE WKIZ: a 'TERRI 3LE, this truth, cultivated this attitude to- ward "foreigners," the foundation for international friendship would have been well and truly laid. The healing of the girl had the usual results. The publicity and ex- citement once more defeated Jesus' purpose. He turned again to the south, crossed Jordan and entered the district known as Decapolis, a loose confederation of cities. "Decapolis" mean "ten cities." II How LOVE TRIUMPHS, Mark 7: 3 37. .Jesus was now in the vicinity of th district where he had healed the d Lioniac, Mark 5: 1-20. The "veste interests" of the community, fearin for, their profits, had driven him ou Mark 5: 17. It would apeear tha now the Master hoped to re-enter th region unobserved, and have a th li time, uninterrupted, with his di c_,y1es. Since the healing of the demons however, a campaign was being ca ried on in his favor, more effectiv than that of fear and hate which th Hog Breeders' Association wage against him. It was the propagand of 'the man whom he had healed Meek 5: 20. Jesus and his little com pang had hardly set foot witl-in D capolis,'when to every corner of th district°the news spread, "Here he i the Healer!" Love, the greatest thin in the world, had been doing its work A member of a despised race ha done a kindness to one miserable fel low some time in the past. It ha broken down the barrier of raci. contempt. "Jew," to a native of De capol�is, now suggested helpfulness k indness. Love had done another bi f its perfect work for world -friend hip. It has been well said th esus .both democratized and interna tionalized religion. One of the rea- sons why he was crucified was his at- tude of good -will towards Romans He was free from race and class hat- eds. Taking the deaf mute (v. 32) aside from the crowds, the Master seems to ave employed certain methods, corn - only used at the time, and had cured the roan of his trouble. See Mark 8: 2-26, where Jesus ‘,.gain uses neater - 1 means. These two accounts ap- ear in Mark' alone. Matthew and uke perhaps did not like to record uch use of material means by our ord. Saliva was often regarded in e ancient world as having curative MOM s. As the Master pronounced the Gods which accompanied the healing, ho sighed, v. 34. Why? One poor an stood before him, by no means e most wretched of the many round him. But the sensitive heart our Lord saw in this man the whole "weltering sea of sorrow that noaned around the world, of which is was but one drop that he could y up."

C. Shru- eall, senior medical officer of the ,school system of London, England, in a recent address in that city before the Child Study Society, Says Dr, E. E, Free, in his Week's Science (New York) "One of of his ideas is that the most scientific way Co. punish a child is by an old-fashioned spanking,'being sure that this is hard enough to be really painful. "Another is that the spanking must be done immediately and in anger, instead of waiting until later when the outraged parent has cooled off. Dr, Shrubsall insists that anger is ,quite well understood by the ehild, and has the proper effect on it, whereas later punishment accompanied by 'reason- ing' with the child is not understood and merely impresses the child as one more of the myriads of inexplicable things which adults do, "Pain in the skin, like that from a good spanking, Dr. Shrubsall regards as nature's method of training all young animals. This is how the ani- mal, or the baby, learns to avoid harm- ful objects, as evidenced by the pro- verb that a burnt child dreads the fire. One reason why this is so effective is that the pain follows instantly on the fiery contact, which is why spank- ings also should follow immediately on the offense. Merely mental punish- ments, such as scoldings or arguments, are unnatural and relatively ineffec- tive. Fortunately, Dr. Shrubsall be- lieves that psychological theories against spanking seldom are really practiced. 'There probably is no child psychologist in existence,' he said, 'who, having a child of his own or her own, has never spanked it."' London Style Czars Issue Fashion Edict London has almost as much say in dictating the laws of women's fashions as Paris these days. Here are Lon- don's edicts for spring styles: There will be no change in wom- en's figures. Elegance and "stream- line" will be the keynote, and slim- ming diets will have to be continued. The waistline will be just above the normal one. Some of the newest evening dresses have sleeves whch reach to the el- bow, fit close over the shoulder and for a few inches down the arm, and then are puffed widely. Walking frocks will end 12 inches off the ground, formal afternoon dresses 10 inches, while evening dress- es will just clear the floor. As if to make up for their "back lessness," evening gowns will be cut higher in front, iii some cases`almost up to the neck. The lightweight dresses, made from fancy materials, provide a fresh range of woollen stuffs for Spring frocks. These are very fine and very light, but there are signs that materials with crinkled and crepe -like surfaces will be replaced. Newtopcoats c Sts forthe P s trio p g are full length, with wide draped revers car - sled sometimes to the wastline, Short jumpers will continue to be worn, but will be made from soft wool- len materials, many of which will be striped. THE GREAT And this is how we love to think of the great and the good who are gone—not as dead, but living, active spirits, yet rising to a highter sphere, rising into a larger, wider life In the ample, sunlit spaces in the presence of God; and still, 1n some way, one with us in all upward striving and in all holy work, a great family of God, one in heaven and on earth.— T.
