Zurich Herald, 1934-11-01, Page 3VVornan's World By Mair •M. Morgan NEW CHICKEN DISH So long as sister and brother lick their chops at the thought of chicken for dinner and argue for white Meat drum -sticks, the woman who must plan meals is on the lookout for new ways to prepare this favorite dish. Not that the fried and roasted versions will be scorned, but the cook who takes pride in her art wants more compensation for her efforts than to see food disappear. The pro- blem is to contrive new combinations of familiar materials that will win the unstinted applause of those hard- boiled. tableside critics — and that's something very worth doing. Chickens, biscuits ancl gravy are combined to provide the chicken turn- over. So, with no extra effort, the enterprising cook can give the family a dish that will draw forth enthusi- astic smacking of lips; and the pro- blem of equable serving of white meat and drum -sticks is eliminated. Chicken 2'urnovers This is how a hotel chef prepares the Chicken turnovers: One three pound fowl, four or five, 3arrots, two medium sized onions, one head celery, two tablespoons salt, half pound mushrooms, one table- spoon butter, one tablespoon flour. Dough: Four cups flour, half cup butter, half cup lard or other short- ening, teaspoon salt, one and a half cups water. Wash and disjoint chicken. Boil until tender with vegetables which have been cut in small pieces. When done remove and discard vegetables which were used to make the chicken deliciously savory. Remove skin and bones from chicken and cut in neat dice. Melt butter and sauted mush- rooms, which have been cut in slices for five minutes. Reserve six fine mushroom caps for garnishing. Sift flour over mushrooms and add diced Chick en. Mix well and remove at once from fire. Make the dough by mixing and sifting flour, salt and baking powder. Rub in shortening and cut in cold water. Roll on a floured board into a sheet not more than half inch thick. Cut ,in six inch squares. Place the chicken on the dough and fold diag- onally, forming a triangle filled with chicken. Bake fifteen minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) and sur- round with ,buttered peas, diced new carrots, asParagus stalks and potato Marbles. And from this sumptuous looking and altogether successful •dish comes an inspiration for leftovers. Jus think of it, any kind of meat may be handled this way! Veal, pork, lamb, beef and all varieties of poultry that have been left from Sunday feast may make their seconcl appearance in this thoroughly inviting fashion. To be sure, the leftover dish will be more turnover and less meat, but it's an idea worth remembering anyway. Chicken Roll Another excellent way to serve chicken with biscuits is to make this same dough, which is much richer than the usual biscuit dough, roll it in a sheet and spread with chicken mixture. Then roll up like a jelly roll and bake. 0 * * IT'S ONLY PAPER A certain bathroom owes its fes- tive air to a colorful border close t6. its ceiling line. The bathroom itself is painted a soft lettuce green, dark at the base and growing lighter to- ward the ceiling. The border is in a design of graceful swans. At first glance the border looks like a nice bit of hand painting, but on exami- ation, proves to be only wall paper, bought al; a few pennies a foot and pasted and shellacked. In the same house there hangs over the..mantel in the living room, a really lovely flower piece. Only close scrutiny reveals that this too is only wall paper, for at a short distance it looks like a fine old painting. The panel has been framed in a wide gold frame, and shellacked with orange shellac, with a deft touch of sienna to give the aged look. A. chest of drawers in this same house looks like something very rare and very lovely. But in truth it Is only an old chest of drawers, which had almost outworn its good looks. It has been treated in so simple a way that you will say, "Why didn't I think of that?" Instead of the usual paint be- stowed on poor -relation furniture, this chest has been paltered jn Chi- nese tea-paper—gold, with a soft weblike design of green. The paper was carefully pasted, and to over- come any tendency to peel, the chest was carefully sized with wall -paper sizing, according to expert advice. When the paper was thoroughly dry, the whole chest was shellacked with water -proof shellac. Old wooden knobs were replaced with smart green Chinese tassels. $. PIE LORE Housewives are always on the look- out for new pie tricks. Here are some excellent recipes. Excellent Pie Crust % cup shortening, % teaspoon Salt, 2% cups pastry flour, % cup boiling water, % teaspoon baking • powder. Blend the shortening and water in a mixing bowl, then add to the flour sifted with the salt and the baking powder. The crust is ready to use as soon as mixed. Pie..Crust 2 cups sifted pastry flour, %, cup shortening, 1-8 teaspoon salt, IA cup ice water. Add shortening to flour and salt and work together until well mixed, 'then add enough ice water to hold together and roll at once on floured board. This can be kept in waxed paper in refrigerator till needed. Lemon Banana Pie 1 cup boiling water, juice of a lemon, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 beaten egg, bananas, 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1 cup sugar. Add 2 tablespoons corn starch to 1 cup sugar and stir into 1 cup of boiling water. Cook in double boiler for ten minutes, then add the juice of a large lemon and the butter. Beat in the egg and spread good layer in baked pie shell. Cover with sliced bananas, then add more lemon filling and top with bananas. Cover with slightly sweetened whipped cream. Boy's Favourite Pie Pastry shell: % cup shortening, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon corn starch, % teaspoon baking powder, cold water to mix. • Make pastry fairly stiff, roll out and place in pie pan. While still un- cooked, put in the following filling: % cup fine bread crumbs, 1 table- spoon melted butter, % cup ground cornflakes, 1 cup golden syrup. Bake in fairly quick oven. * * * KITCHEN KINKS If you have a vase or flower jar that is porous enough to let water seep through and mar the table, make it waterproof by setting the bowl in the warming oven until you melt some paraffin. Then pour the melted paraffin into the warmed vase and roll or tip about until the inside is thoroughly coated. Then , when entirely cool, you may safely use this pottery container without fear of table • mars. An Unusual Drink An unusual and refreshing drink can be made by adding the juice of two limes to a pint size bottle of grapejuice. Add enough sugar to taste, and enough ice water to make two quarts in all, ICeeping Egg Yolks Fresh If the white only of an egg is Permanent Waves By Wireless Wawa . — — ..... - . ." • 'AUIMR0 4$, ' • ' •VORA:Aile „iiitiktaa • uroVja&m ...

Then seal the shell with a piece of tissue paper. If kept in a cool place the yolk will stay fresh and moist for several days. Cooking Buttered Vegetables When cooldng buttered string beans, lima beans, asparagus, arti- choke or cauliflower, add butter to a small quantity of boiling water (to which salt has been added) be- fore immersing the vegetables. By this method the butter is boiled into the vegetables, thus making them richer and more tasty than when dressed with drawn butter after they are cooked. Improving Bacon When removing bacon from the killet, place it for a minute on a piece of clean wrapping paper, which will absorb the surplus grease. The bacon will be daintier and more de- licious. A Colorfu.l Frosting In making frosting for cake, I have discovered that by moistening a pound of sugar, mixed well with two tablespoons of butter, and with strawberry preserves, instead of. milk, that I have not only a frost- ing that tastes delicious, but one, that has a lovely color. Arresting Chair Rungs I find that rungs of chairs keei` corning loose in steam -heated apart- ments. I make them stay in place by taking a small piece of, electric tape and placing it over the end of the rung with the sticky side out, Then I gently hammer the rung—tape and all—back into place, Canning Baked Apples Most familys like baked apples and here is a way of meeting the de- mand: Remove the cores and fill the oven with big pans of • apples and syrup, just as one prepares baked apples for immediate eating. When done, put them in wide-mouthed jars, cover with the boiling syrup and seal. They keep well. When ready to use place them in a baking dish and reheat thoroughly. Serve them with whipped cream and a candied cherry. • Guests think they are freshly baked. Drying Clothes Indoors When it is necessary to dry clothes indoors, place the clothes on a rack and turn on the electric fan. The breeze both airs and dries the cloth- es. We are apt to mistake our vocation by looking out of the way for occa- sions to exercise great and rare vir- tues, and by stepping over the ordin- ary one that lie directly in the road before us,—Hannah More, The procrastinator is not only in- dolent and weak but commonly false, too; most of the weak are false.—La- water. 14 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON V. — November 4. Christian Growth —Luke 2:42-52; 2 Peter 1:5.8. Golden Text—"But geow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Sa- vior Jesus Christ." TIME—Christ's first visit to Jerusal- em, at the age of twelve, April A.D. 8. Peter was written about A.D, 68. PLACE—The temple in Jerusalem. Jo- seph's home in Nazareth. Peter labor- ed in Jerusalem and Rome. "And when he was twelve years old' The growth of the child Jesus under the loving care of Joseph and Mary in Nazareth is summarized in three par- ticulars; physical growth, as the ba- sis, then mental progress and increase in spiritual knowledge and grace, "They went up after the custom of the feast." He went up a year sooner than the law required, perhaps be- cause his older cousin John, who was to become the Baptist, that year made his first attendance at the feast. "And when. they had fulfilled the days." The passover feast lasted eight days. "As they were returning the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusa- lem." He did not mean to cause anxie- ty to his parents of course but he was completely absorbed in what was going on in- the temple. "And his par- ents knew it not." Nor did he know that his parents had left the city. The freedom of life in home and school, so notable a feature in modern times, is by no means a recent discovery. "But supposing him to be in the company." Parties were made up from the same village or from nearby vil- lages. These, including relatives, would make a considerable number, and Mary may easily have thought that her boy was with some eighbor or friend. "They went a day's journey. From ten to fifteen miles, the entire company probably walking. "And they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance." The child Jesus was evidently a sociable being and no recluse. "And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him." How anxious were they as to what might have become of the dear boy in the great city. "And it came to pass after three days.' One of these days was spent in the journey back toward Nazareth, a second in the return to Jerusalem, and the third in a fruitless search through the streets of Jerusalem. "At last they found him in the temple?' It was strange that they knew so lit- tle of the lad that they did not look in the temple first of all. "Sitting in the midst of the teachers." During the feasts the great Jewish rabbis taught in the porches and courts of the tem - pie. 'Both hearing them and asking them questions." These classes form- ed a sort of university extension course, carrying on the instruction given in the local synagogues and the schools, "And all that heard him were amazed "And in your self-oontrol patienoe,', itt the margin, "stedfastnes0." "And in your patience godliness," Godliness is both the test and the out come of patience, "And in your godliness brotherly kindness," Our attitude toward God our love of God, soon reaches out to, wards our brother Christians. "An4 itt YOur brotherly kindness love." Tie is affection that reaches out beyond our Christian brothers and takes iz all mankind, "For if these things are yours and abound," These things are the Christ - Ian graces named and the eonsequent right understanding of divine things, "They make you to be not idle nor un. fruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We become the best and the most active and the most efficient citizens when we con- tribute to the common life the gift of sweet and perfected disposition. at his understanding and his answers' Because Jesus asked questions he grew. Themind grows by feeding on the material which questions gather and bring in. "And when they saw him, they were astonished," Dr, van Dyke represents Jesus as listening enraptured to the great Rabbi Hillel, whose spirit was so close to his own. "And his mother said unto him, Son, 'w'hy hast thou thus dealt with us?" We know that Jesus bad never grieved his parents before, in his eagerness to learn, he let them go their way home without him. "Behold thy father and I sought thee sorrowing." Mary's deep love for her Son is here shown, and it must have been answered by Christ's deep love for her. "And he said unto them, How is It that ye sought me? Could it be that they were not interested in the things of the Father, and so did not under- stand his being so? There is almost a sort of shudder in Jesus' reply. "Knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?" The translation of the King James Bible, "about my Father's bus- iness," is equally possible, for the Greek is only "in the (things) of my Father," "the" being the indefinite ar- ticle in the neuter plural. "And they understood not the say- ing which he spake unto them." For- tunately for Jesus, he had. parents, who while not understanding him, were yet ttender and patient with him. "And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth," The village of Mary and Joseph, about sixty miles north of Jerusalem among the hills overlooking the great historic plain of Esdraelon, with Mt Carmel on the west. And he was subject unto them." How could the sanctification of com- mon life be effected if not by those eighteen years during which the Lord of all dwelt at Nazareth in obscure ob- edience? "And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart." Nothing connected with the life of Jesus but was noted by Mary's mother -love. "And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men." Our Lord grew in body (stat- ure), mind, (wisdom), and soul, in spiritual graces, in favor with God and man. `Yea, and this very cause." Because (verse 4) the Christians to whom Pe- ter is writing have escaped from hea- then foulness and have entered into the divine life, they are now to go, forward in it with hearty zeal. Adding on your part all diligence." Sloth has no place in the Christian life. "In your faith supply virtue," The figure in the apostle's mind may be that of a chain, each virtue being linked to its predecessor and successor, the whole forming a united set of char- acteristics. "And in your virtue knowledge." Understanding, implying insight, cir- cumspection, discretion, discernment. "And in your knowledge self control Know more of Christ, and you will know more of yourself and be better able to guide yourself. SIX CHILDREN IN A YE Records Few Couples Would Care To Break Quintuplets born recently have ar- oused world-wide interest, but there is no modern parallel to the record of the Scottish weaver who, in the seventeenth century, was father of sixty-two children by one wife and left forty-six of them to mourn him although he has no mean rival in Levi Braskow, a Canadian with forty-on1 children. His first wife was responsible fax six of them; his second added twit dozen more; and his third completed the list with a contribution of eleven, At sixty-nine, Mr Brasleaw has 29 married sons and daughters; and his living descendants number just under two hundred. Anthony Clark, a book canvasser, acknowledged in the Clerkenwell County Court the paternity of 32 chit- dren; Mrs, Mary Jonas, of Chester, increased the population of England by 33; and Mrs Emma Hare confided. to a neighbor that she had nursed 27 children. Not long ago, three parents called upon the registrar for Whittelsey, Isle of Ely to register the births—one, of his twenty-first child; the second, his nneteenth; and the third of number seventeen—the three 'families thus ag- gregating fifty-seven children. From Antwerp came the story of a Mme. Cartier who had given birth to six sons in one year—the first set of triplets in January and the second in the following December, Packed Nurseries In a Chicago divorce case in 1920 it came out itt evidence that the plain- tiff, Mrs Josephine Ormsby though she had. been married only seven years, had in that time been the mo- ther of one set of triplets, two pairs three single children, and one set of quadruplets— an average of two chil- dren a year, When Mrs. Ursula Lightfoot, of Ay- ton, in Yorkshire died in her ninety- fourth year, she left nine children, seventy-nine grandchildren, seventy- three great-grandchildren, and twig great -great-grandchildren. In Couth- ern Georgia, a Mrs, Shiver spent her last years in visiting one after anoth- er, the homes of her descendants, who numbered 310 in four generations; and Mrs. Sarah Ann Woolf, of Utah, when she died at the age of ninety- one, left 303 living descendants, in- cluding 189 great-grandchildren and twenty-three great great grandchild. ren. Six brothers and sisters, children of a settler named Webb in the Cumber- land district of Kentucky, among them have lived. to see 1651 of their progeny. The eldest brother, Jason, has 444 descendants; Miles takes se- cond place with 402; then follow three sisters, with contributlims of 230, 208, and 201 respectively; and the roll end with the youngest brother, whose tot- al is a modest 166. Not the least astonishing of family records is that of M. Gourdon, who died in Paris at the age of 101, M. Gourdon's father was born in 1731; married in 1752; and in 1753 became 'lather of a boy who died in the same year. Ile married for the second time in 1820 and at the age of ninety-onst became the father of a second boy, the late M. Gourdon who at the close of his long life was able to say "My brother died 171 years ago." MIJ 4N1.)
