: i . ) Woman's World By Mair M. Morgan Casserole Dishes Housewives are ever alert to econ- omize without sacrifice of quality and food value. One ot the beat methods of cooking a cheap cut and retaining the juices of both vegetablea and the meat is to use the casserole method. Here Is a delicious casse:-ol« recipe: Casserole With Vegetables One flank steak, prepared paste, 1 to 2 cups diced carrots, 2 cups diced potatoes, % cup diced turnip, 1 large onion, 1 teaspoon salt, Vi teaspoon pepper, 1 cup boiling water. Spread meat with pa.ste as in pre- paring recipe. Cut meat to fit casse- role. Oil casserole well with bacon fat. If the steak is cut i three pieces put one-third of the vegetables in the casserole, arranging in layers and slic- ing the onion through them. Season with salt and pepper and add a piece of meat. Continue layer for layer of meat and vegetables until all is used. Add boiling water, cover closely, and bake an hour and one-half in the morn- ing and one hour at dinner time. Serve from casserole. The long cooking and the vinegar break down th tough tissues of the meat and leave it very palatable and nourishing. The following combinations have al- so been tried and have proved very auccessful: Scalloped Ham and Potato Six potatoes, pepper, % lb. ham, 1 pint milk. Pare and slice potatoes. Cut ham Into pieces suitable for serving. Place ham in bottom of casserole, lay pota- toes on top. Sprinkle with pepper and add milk. Cover and bake very slow- ly in the oven until potatoes are soft. This recipe serves four.

Brown onion in shortening, add the meat and stir until the color disappears; add toma- toe and other seasouiugs. Grease a casserole, line with the mush, put the meat and vegetables in, cover with corn mush cover. Bake 35 minutes in hot oven. Brown the top under the broiler if it doesn't brown through.

Turnip and Sousage Too many people spurn the yellow turnip without ever giving it a chance. Pare a large turnip, cut into cubes, boil until tender and mash as you would potatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper and adding a lump of but- ter and half cup of cream. Pour into a buttered casserole and cover with a generous layer of sausage meat. Bake until the sausage is a nice brown. Satisfying Stew These cold days call tor substantial meals and there is nothing like a well- seasoned stew to give one a well-fed feeling. We use all kinds of meat for stews, even to leftovers. Beef, veal, I.'.mb, mutton, pork, ham, fresh and s-ii*,*:! flst bring infinite variety to the one- time plebian dish. Dumplings add distinction to all stews, but particularly to one made of veal. Lamb stew gains much from canned peas. A savoury combination of onions, canned tomatoes and macar- oni makes a dish made from remnants ot cold roasts pleasantly appetizing. Carrots provide color when other means of garnishing are not at hand. A few mushrooms give the final touch that makes a real feast out ot plain fare. Remember that dried mushrooms may be substituted when fresh ones are not at hand. Veal Stew One and one-half pounds lean veal, 3 medium sized potatoes. 1 cup small whole mushrooms, Vs cup shredded sweet green pepper, 2 ounces, 2 tea- spoons salt. V4 teaspoon pepper, 4 cups boiling water, flour. Trim fat from meat and put into a trying pan over a low fire until fat is fried out. Remove crisp "crack- lings." Cut the meat in small pieces and roll in flour. Brown with onion cut in thin slices in the hot fat in the frying pan. Turn into a deep sauce pan or kettle. Pour boiling water into frying pan and then pour over meat. Cover closely and simmer for two hours. Add potatoes pared and cut in neat dice, salt and pepper, shredded sweet pepper and mushrooms and cook 30 minutes longer. It may be necessary to add more water during the cooking period, but there should be 3 cups water over the stew when vegetables are tender. Thicken with 2 tablespoons flour stirred to a smooth paste with water after the dumplings have been cooked. Dumplings One and one-half cups flour, 3 tea- spoons baking powder, \i> teaspoon salt, about ^ cup milk or water. Mix and sift flour, salt and baking powder. Add milk slowly, cutting it in with a knife. Drop from tip ot spoon into boiling stew. Cover the kettle closely and boil gently Cor 12 minutes without lifting the cover. Re- move to a hot platter and keep warm while making the gravy. Put stew around, not over, dumplings and serve at once. Household Hints When using soda to clear the drain in the sink, be sure to follow with a pan of boiling water so the soda and grease do not form a soft soap iu the drain pipe and close the drain entirely. Evervthing in the kitchen should be washable, consequently painted walls are better than papered ones for this room. They can be wiped down when soiled or greasy and will make the kitchen look like a different place. Two minutes after lighting the burners ot the oven of your gas stove, open the oven door for a second to let the moist air escape and the oven will heat far more quickly after the venti- lation. Many times a few well-placed skew- Sunday School Lesson i«>>«>t«t»>>«»»»»»»< Nuraberle.ss schemes look well in this model.

Most housewives dis- like this bit ot fancy sewing, anyway, and * might experiment with steel skewers, and see how cleverly they may be used. Babies often hate the knot at the back ot their necks when their bibs are tied on. Thread the neck ot the bib with elastic and slip it on over the head. If you wring out iace and muslin frocks in milk instead of starch It will stiffen them sufficiently. If you wish to have your poached eggs white-topped and creamy looking, just cover the pan and let the steam cook a film of white over the yolk. They are much more attractive. Don't attempt to beat whites ot eggs if a little ot the yolk has gotten into them. Dip a cloth into hot water and scoop the yolk out with a corner of the cloth. Then beat and be assured of success. Lemons that have been kept too long and have hardened can be soft- ened by covering with boiling water and standing on the back ot the stove for a few minutes. If you have made your frosting a bit too soft and the layer cake is In- clined to slip oft unevenly, run a few toothpicks through the layers, holding them in place until the icing hardens. When you boil a fowl add a pinch ot bicarbonate of soda to the water. This makes it exceptionally tender. Many housewives find almond icing for cakes expensive. Ground peanuts are often used by professional cooks, and tew people know the ditterence. Lesson V. â€" February 4 â€" Putting God's Kingdom First.â€" Matthew 6:134. Golden Text â€" Seek y« flrSt hi* kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.â€" Matt. 6.33. TIME â€" Midsummer of A.D. 28, the second year of Christ's ministry. PLACEâ€" The Horns of Hattin, a hill west of the Sea of Galilee. PARALLEL PASSAGE â€" The "Sermon on the Plain," Luke 6: 20-49. "Lay not up for yourselves treas- ui-es upon the earth." Let it not be thought for a moment that Christ in- culcates any lack of prudence in con- nection with material things, or any disregard of material duties. His strong protest is against the undue secularizing of life. "Where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal." Literally "dig through," for Palestinian hou.se, made usually of stone, have no outer windows, and thieves must made holes in- the walls if they would enter. "But lay up for yourselves treas- ures in heaven." If you wish to ex- press some of your money from earth to heaven, give it to those who need. And if you have no money to give, you can give friendship and loving sympathy and wise praise and tender admonition and inspiring counsels and sweot comfort. "Where neither moth nor rust doth cotuume, and w'lere thieves do not break thrcugh nor steal." We should e.xchang- earthly for heavenly currency. "For where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also." If the heart be with the treasure, what happens to the treasure happens to the heart. "The lamp of the body is the eye," The eye is the spiritual faculty through which the light of God's truth is recognized and admitted into the coul. "If therefore thine eye be single." Sound, seeing objects singly, and clear- ly, and dinstinctly, instead of multiply- ing them, as in certain unsound states, confusedly and indeterminately. "Thy whole body shall be full of light." The soul's eye must be single and the singl.?iess of motive and desire must spring from the superhuman energy that comes to use from the spirit- given love of Jesus Christ. "But if thine eye be evil (that is, diseased ) , thy whole body shall be full of darkness." .\1I about us are sights and visions of eternal truths and beau- ties which we have not seen. We liave not, by prayer and Bible study and meditation and Christian service culti- vated the spiritual capacity. "If there- fore the light that is in tiiee be dark- ness, how great is the darkness I" The whole passage is a warning against the danger of worldliness, against the blinding, bewildering effect of wealth and comfort. "No man can serve two masters. ' .A.s salt must retain its integrity if it is ti be useful, and the eye its purity to be a fruitful guide, so sin- cerity of heart is necessary to unity in purpose and action. "For either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other." .•Vnd all the while he will very likely be fooling himself into the belief that he can love both and that he is serving both impartially. "Ye cannot serve God and mamnvw.' Mammon may be derived from a Pha'nician word for "gain" and so be equivalent to Pluto, the Latin god of wealth ; or it may be derived from a Hebrew word meaning "trusted." Our English equivalent would be "worldi- ness." "Therefore I .su\ unto y^u. Be not anxious for your life." The remainder of the chapter is an expansion of the thought already introduced in verse.i 19-24, th.Tt we are to live for God and not for the world, trusting the heaven ly riches and not mammon "What ye shall eat, or what ye sha.l drink; nor yet for your body, whai yg ihall put on." These are the fundamenta' nec- e^sities of h^n.an life, and if anxiety for them is forbidden, surely anxiety for more than these is forbidden. "Is not the life nioi-e than the food, and the body than the raiment?" "Behold the birds of the heaven." Palestine is a land of many birds, and very likely Christ ix)inted to a flock of them as he spoke. "That they sow- not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them." The birds obey the God which is in them in the form of instinct, and so they reach the limit of their possibilities; and they are fed and they are clothed ;is no great king of Oriental days or modern days was ever fed or garbed. ".A.re not ye of n.uch more value than they?" It is said that Martin Luther was once wandering in the fields alone with his stirrow, when a bird perched singring o:i a spray, and to the wanderer's ears he seemed to sing, "Mortals, cease from toil and sorrow. God pro^deth for the morrow." "And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measuie of his life?" Christ's question points out the us«lesii'..eas of worry. It can- not :hang« things, except for the worse. ^ "And why are ye anxious concern- ing raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow." Palestine ii. a land of flowers. Some think the flower to which Christ referred to was the Scarlet Turk's Cap; others that it was the red ai.emone. "They toil not. neither do they spin." It was because God was love U) Jesus Christ, that when he went abroad into the world of nature, he saw God and his kingdom in the birds, and in the thou- sand lilies of the field. "Yet I .â- â- ay unto you, that even Sol<)- mon in all '.lis glorj' was not arrayed like one of these." We jught to be able to rejoice in those parts of the creation whch were desgned especially to give ua delight. "But if God doth so clothes the grass of the field." Including, of course, the many flowers growing amid the grass. "Which to-day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven." Fire- wood is so scarce in Palestine that even in our day the people heat their ovens for baking bread with dry grass from the fields. "Shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" If the lilies of the field are so beauti â-  ful, what will be the beaut>' of the white garments of the saints! "Be not therefore anxious, saying. What shall we eat? or. What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?" All the worrj^ that ever got itself accomplished in this weary, worrying world; all the sleeples-s nights, all the burdened days, all the joyless, mirthless, peace-destroymg, health-destroying, happiness-destroy- ing, love-destroying hours that men and women have ever in all earth s centuries gis'en to worry, never WTOught one good thing. "For after all these things do the Gentiles seek." The heathen may be pardoned for their anxious lives, for they have not the knowledge of a loving heavenly Father; but we, t*i whom this knowledge has been given, are without excuse if we worry. !• or our heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Food, drink, clothing, shelter, these are es- sential to God's creatures. They should never fret about things essentia! be- cause God kn<ws they have need of these things. , . , • , „„ i "But seek ve first his kingdom, ami his righteousness." Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God is so beautiful and worth so much to a man. that if he reallv catches sight of it, he will be ready to give up everything el^ for it. "\nd all these things shall be added unto you." Here is the plus principle in dailv living. With the king^lom of God in the heart, the plus process be- gins in life. Setting Too Higl: A Stand «r(i Georgia's Federal Relief Under a Woman Dictator Atlanta.â€" Federal relief and civil works administration in Georgia are now under a woman dictator. Miss Gay B. Shepperson. midd.e- aged welfare worker, succeeded Gov ernor Talmadge's board of five on or ders from Harry Hopkins. Federal ad- ministrator at Washington. Reorganization of federal relief in Georgia resulted from an open break between the governor and Hopkins which started a short time ago when Talmadge severely criticized the pay ot civil works employees. At that time the governor charged that civil work pay was demoralizing farm la- bor. Hopkins replied, that Talmadge was just a "headline hunter."

Parents .Are Inclined to Expec AJmost Perfection in Thciir Children There is nucb a thing as setting toi high a standard for a child. When human nature has Its wa] and he constantly falls short of p^-rfeo tion. nothing will breed in him a senst of inferiority more quickly. Wo lay down a long order for oui children. They must be obedient truthful, neat, clean, studious, quie^ gentle, polite, generous energetic, helj^ ful, kind, brave and patient. This is a decalogue plus. Can W4 and do we always live up to it our selves? No. And with our years ol experience and control we are in b8t» ter condition to do so, or at least w« should be, than they are. Mistakes Are Inevitable Childhood is happy-go-lucky and Ir responsible. It is the time for leara- Ing everything Including the virtue*. .\ student ot anything whether it b« painting, wood-finishing, golf, or lif^ has to begin at scratch and make ml»- takes as he goes. In no other craft do we expect per- fection, but ye do expect it of cbiidrea learning the lessons of character dajT by day. It is all right to have a standard ant to work toward It. This is what all standards are for, but it in the strlT- ing mistakes are made it is not quit* fair or wise for the mentor to critici»« too sharply. It is very discouraging. True, a few stout souls work bete* under the gnout. but most people an* most children are sensitive and talU Once self-confidence Is lost, all iu lost. But more bitter still In the heart ot a child Is the feeling that others art disappointed in him. j Not only that, but another sting liet in thisâ€" he may be averaging SU pe< cent, in all th© "good" things we havt decided he must be. But usually h» gets little credit for it. The ihingrf he seems to be judged by are the othef fifth that he fails in. ' If he is scolded or punished or ridt culed for this 20 per cent, in his bitted ness and humiliation, he may decid* tiiat the rest does noi matter. He's told that he is no good. He believe* it and stops trying. Develops Inferiority Complex The worst of almost any system ol unfair discipline and punishment ll that the child believes he i : worst than he is. Not all children, for a fe« do survive, and either by fear or sheei will power, turn the reprimand to a* count. But the oppo.^ite is too oftei the case. We must be trainers, of course. AH parents find themselves in this posi- tion whether they like it or not. and training takes firmness as well as kind- ness. But it also takes tact and jud© ment ot inlinite depth and soundness, U" we notice that our boy or girl is dis- couraged we might do well to ask our selves if we are not expecting tofl much. .And give him the credit II* deserves. ' Sometimes I wonder, if weighed by the same scales, how many parents would find themselves on the high end. Often fathers or mothers have a long way to go before attaining anything like the standard they set for thelt own children. Christmas Tree Trade It has been officially estimated tha( there have been 500 carloads <A Christmas trees shipped from the fop ests ot Ontario. Quebec. New Brun» wick and Nova Scotia to cities in Ca» ada and the United States for iht Christmas season. This trade is na doubt profitable to the farmers and others having trees for sale, but onl wonders what effect the destruction of these young trees at such a rati will have on the forests of Canada iM the years to come.
