y Woman^s World By Mair M. Morgan â- â- â- â- >«»atittti '•••»♦#â- â€¢â€¢â- < CHOCOLATE GlVESi HEAT OFFSETS WINTER COLD Fills bodies with heat and enrgy foods these bitter days. To the farthest north and highest mountains, chocolate is transported and it was used extensively in Europe when the armies struggled through mud and cold during the Great War. That is because is brings heat and energy quickly 'to the body. Such food value ought not to be omitted from the diet on these chill days when all those winter ailments are epidemic in many communities. Chocolate is not, of course, confined to candy and cakes. It makes into very attracti%-e and easily digestible desserts. These satisfy the sweet tooth and give high nutritive value to any menu. Baked Chocolate custard is always good and is particularly fine for those just recovering from the var- ieties of 'flu from which Canadians suffer. 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, cut in pieces 1 quart cold milk 4 eggs, slightly beaten % cup sugar ^4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla .^dd chocolate to milk in double boiler and heat. When chocolate is melted, beat with rotary egg beater until blended. Combine eggs, sugar, and salt. Add chocolate mixture gradually, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla. Pour into custard cujis, place them in pan of hot water, and bake in slow oven (32.5 degrees F.) 40 minutes, or until knife inserted comes out clean. Chill. Serves 8. Dufhess Chocolate Pudding 1-3 cup confectioners' sugar ^2 tablespoon flour 1^ squares unsweetened chocolate, melted 1% tablespoons butter 2 eggs yolks, slightly beaten 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten Few drops of vanilla Dash of salt Combine sugar and flour and add to chocolate in double boiler. Blend. Remove from fire. Add butter and egg yolks. Fold in vanilla, egg whites and salt. Turn into well- greased mould, filling 2-3 full. Cover tightly and steam thirty minutes. Serve hot with Royal Chocolate Sauce. Serves C. Royal Cfwcolute Sauce 1 square unsweetened chocolate, cut in pieces 3 tablespoons water 4 tablespoons sugar IM tablespoon melted butter Dash of salt Few drops of vanilla Combine chocolate, water, sugar, and salt in dooble boiler. Heat and blend. Mil hotter and vanilla. Beat •well. Makes 2-3 oup sauic. IMPROVING CANDY OR COFFEE When making candy at home to avoid over-rickness, add a touch of salt to the sugar. The candy will taste better and will not be too sweet. Many confirmed coffee drink- ers find that a pinch of salt in the coffee pot or percolater adds greatly to the flavor. ECONOMY VEGETABLES Delicious dishes may be made from what we usually regard as "econ- omy vegetables" â€" such as cabbage, onions, carrots and turnips. Sugar added to the dish, as suggested in the recipes below, increases the food value and actually brings out the flavor of the vegetables. Riced Carrots 6 large carrots 2 tablespoons butter % cup cream 2 teaspoons sugar Salt and pepper Cook the carrots in boiling salted â- water until tender. Drain. Press through a coarse sieve. Melt the but- ter in a saucepan. Add the cream. carrots, su^ar, salt and pepper. Cook until thoroughly heated aod serve at once. Glazed Onion* 10 medium sized onions % cup sugar 2 tablespoons melted butter Peel the onions and cook whole until fairly tender in salted boiling water, from twenty to thirty min- utes. Mix the sugar and butter to- gether and spread over the sicies and bottom of a baking dish or pan. Drain the onions and place them in the pan. Bake in a moderate oven until brown, increasing the heat to- ward the last. Water cooks out of the onions, and the browning pro- cess is rather slow. When finished, the onions should have a rich brown glaze. MARl-'S LITTLE LAMB- COOKED Lamb, when properly prepared is one of our choicest meats. AVTien prepared in some unusual form is becomes a real epicurean dish â€" fit for the proverbial King. Lamb Loaf 2 pounds lamb shoulder, ground 1 cup bread crumbs 1 onion, minced ^ green pepper, minced 1 egg 1 cup meat stock or milk Salt Pepper Mix all the ingredients thorough- ly, and shape into a loaf in a butter- ed baking dish. Place in a moderate oven (350 degi-ees F.) and bake for V,<i hours. Lamb a la King 2 cups cold roast lamb, diced 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk % cup small button mushrooms ^ cup celery, diced Currant jelly Salt and pepper Cut the cold roast lamb into cubes. Cook the celery until tender in the butter. Then add the flour and smooth. Add the milk gradually, stirring until the sauce is thickened. Then add the diced lamb, mushrooms and seasoning. Heat. Serve on toast or in patty shells. Place a cube of currant jelly on top and garnish with a sprig of crisp parsley. EXERCISES THAT WARD OFF COLDS Your doctor will tell you that, as yet, there is no specific cure for colds and influenza, but that there is a good chance of your being able to ward them off. This is done by raising your resistance, so that the germs that are about you (and they nearly a ways are) seldom get the upper hand. There is no need to repeat in de- tail certain things advised by your doctor, such as gargling, a suitable diet to include plenty of vitamin A food, taking a tonic, wearing light, warm clothing and the avoidance of wet feet and exposure to cold. But there is a further precaution that should make your resistance even more emphatic. Take definite steps to increase your intake of o.xygen by doing cer- tain special deep-breathing exercis- es. The more oxygen you breathe in the purer and healthier is your blood stream, which has everything to do with your resistance, or otherwise, to the germs that cause illness. Too Much Indoors We are much indoors in the winter and consequently do not get enough fresh air, unless we supplement it by exercises. There is no need to make a burden of thcra. Fit them in at any odd time, to be of great value. Place the hands lightly over the lower ribs in front and take a good gulp of air in through the nose, feeling th« ribs move up and out. Then blow it out through the mouth, helping the ribs to collapse towards each other by slight pre^isure with the hands. Do this "bellows" movement rhythmic- ally not more than six times on end. Here is something you can do as you walk down the street. Take in the air in four good snixs in time with four walking steps, hold the breath for the next four steps, then sniff it out to four and let your lungs remain empty for another four, mak- ing sixteen steps in all. Go through this routine briskly up to six times. The next exercise forces you .to clear your nose, which is a good practice. Take a gentle, smooth, long drawn-in breath through the right nostril only, holding the other closed. Get the feeling you are a balloon filling yourself w-ith air and then hold yourself inflated for three sec- onds. Next, hiss the air out slowly through the left nostril until you imagine your lungs are as empty as a deflated balloon. Do it again, but begin with the left nostril this time. The last is a very effective exer- cise. Clasp the hands behind the neck and let the head and elbow-s hang loosely forward. Start to breathe in deeply and gradually, at the same time forcing the elbows back and raising the head and chest. Deep Breathing Necessary Hold your breath to four counts, then open your mouth and gasp it out, letting the head and elbows drop forward to the starting position again. Four times on end is quite enough. Always imagine, w-hen doing breathing exercises, that yen are taking air in rifrht down to your abdomen, otherw-ise your breathing may be shallow and ineffective. Also, keep your movements as elastic as possible. HEALTH SWAPS A small teaspoonful of bicarbon- ate of soda, taken in water, night and morning may serve to stave off a cold. To relieve a congestive headache, apply to the forehead a paste made of pow-dered ginger and water. Ap- ply spread on paper. In the event of a pricked finger, avoid greasy or oily applications. A dry antiseptic dressing is best, un- less there is frank inflammation or suppuration, when a hot fomentation should be applied. When the doctor orders egg and brandy, this is how to make it: â€" Beat up three eggs to a froth in ^ cup of cold w-ater, add a lump or two of sugar and pour in }~t cup brandy. Give two or three tea- spoonfuls at a time. Women Want To Go Places â€" Men Content To Stay At Home Georgetown, British Guiana â€" The men and women of the Indian re- serves in the northwest of British Guiana are not seeing eye to eye these days. It's another case of the women wanting to go places while the men are content to stay at home, nad the Government is expected to decide the issue. Claiming the right to live their own lives like other people of the colony, the women and girls are preparing a petition asking that they be allowed to come and go, marry and take jobs as they choose. Satisfied with the simple, ordered life, they have known for years, the indignant men are preparing a counter petition, according to word reaching the capital. Under the Indian protection law, aboriginal Indians are placed under supervision of Government-appointed protectors and cannot leave the reserves with- out consent. Em^ployment or mar- riage outside also are subject to of- ficial approval. The women claim these restrict- ions prevent them from getting good jobs or husbands, if they are unwil- ing tt) mate among their own peo- ple, and they demand the right to work and choose husbands wherever they wish. "Anything that dims the hope of reward reduces the willingness o£ men to work, reduces their willing- ness to suffer privation and reduces their wiUlngness to run risks."â€" William P. Warburg. "Labor never reoeives an adequate share of the value In the creation ot which it Is tJie chief factor." â€" Sher- wood Eddy. IS SUNDAY _choolesson =i/ PETER TEACHES TO GENTILES Acts 10; 1-11: 18. "Of a truth I perceive." Literally, to lay hold wit^ the mind." It was not until Peter had crossed the threshold o( the h'jusa of Cornelius in the new environment and stand- point that he sees this new and great trulii. "That God Is no respector of persons.'' The word is compounded ot two Greek words, one meaning "face," or, "person," and the other, "to lake, to select," hence to pay regaid to one's looks or circum- stances rather than to his iairinsic character. "But In every nation he that fear- eih him, and worketh righteousneas." Cf. Rom. 2: 10. 11. It is hardly pos- sible to conceive of any one being referred to in this phrase who was a pure heathen, entirely ignorant of God and his holy law. "Is accept- able to him." Does Peter mean to say that Cornelius is already in a state of grace, so tihat his sins are forgiven and he is saved? la de- claring bis perception that Corneli- us is accepted with God, does Peter mean to teach that faith in Jesus is not indispensable to salvation, but that fear of God and righteous works constitute the ground of salvation? To afflrm this is as illogical as it is unscriptural. The logic of the whole story is that Peter has been led to see that a man like Cornelius is ac- ceptable in God's sight to hear the gospel. "The word wiiich he sent unto the children of Israel." The fact of a divine message is continually refer- red to in this boog (e.g. 4: 31; 8: 14, 25; 13: 26; 14: 3; 16: 32). It was sent first to Israel (Matt. 10: G; 13: 24; Luke 1: 16, 54, SS; 2: 32, 34; John, 1: 31; .icts 2: 22, 36; 3: 12; Rom. 1: 16; 2: 9, 10). "Prea- ching good tidings. This is another translation of the Greek word gen- erally translated "gospel." "Of peace by Jesus Christ. The peace wiiich we have in Christ is a frequent and fundamental leaching of the New Testament writers. "He Is Lord of all." Peter spoke of Jesus the preacher; but lest Cornelius like Nl- codemus might be misled into think- ing that Jesus was simply a great teacher or prophet sent of God to Instruct, he inserts this striking pa- renthesis, to assert and place In the very forefront the truth that Jesus is both Lord and King. "That saying ye yourselves know. The Greek word rendered word here is not tie same which is so trans- lated in the previous verse. The former refers to the whole message of salvation through Christ, the lat- ter to the tidings about Jesus which had gone abroad after the preaching of John the Baptist "Which was published throughout all Judaea, be- ginning from Galilee, after the bap- tism which John preached (Matt. 4: 12; Mark 1: 14). "Even Jesus of Nazareth." In ap- position Willi saying in the preced- ing verse, and hence â€" that saying, that message, even Jesus of Naza- reth. This is tile only message Peter had. "How God anointed him with the Holy Spirit." Here Peter comes to the very heart of his message, and, la chronological order, briefly sketches the life of the Saviour. "And with power." Power to victory, for deeds, for teaching, for every need, for every moment. "Who went about doing good." Ont ot the most Im- portant biographical statements con- cerning Jesus to be found in the New Testament. These words ot Peter are an epitome ot the ministry of Christ. "And healing ail that were oppress- ed of the devil." .\ remarkable de- scription ot a profound and univer- sal truth regarding mankind. "For God was with him." As Nicodemus said, "No man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him" (John 3: 12). "And we are witnesses of all things which he did." Christ had appointed the disciples to be witnesses ot these things tLuke 24: 4S; Acts 1: IS), and they repeatedly made it known that it was as such tiiat they derived their authority for speaking concerning Christ as they did. "Both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusa- lem; whom also they slew. The same word was used by the Apustie in his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2: 23). "Hanging him on a tree." Only Peter uses this phrase, here, and in 5: 30. A similar ex- pression occurs in his First Epistle (2: 24). "Him God raised up the third day, and gave hian to be made manifest." Christ was not openly showed, but by many proofs It was made clear to those who saw him tnat it was the same body, even though now glo- rilied, which had been wounded on tihe cross, and was alive again "Not to all the people." The skep- tical Jews would not have believed, and Jesus was kept from open con- tact with the world ot sin after his Passion. "But unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him af- ter he rose from the dead (Luke 24: 42, 43; Josa 21: 12-15). Peter's Gen- tile listeners might wonder if the resurrection of Jesus from the dead was a true resurrection of Christ's body and soul both, or only some spiritual manifestation of Christ, and to confirm wdat he has announced he makes this very pointed reference to the literalness of Christ's physi- cal resurrection. "And he charged us to preach un- to the people." The Apostle has now completed his brief sketch of the main epochs of the Lord's life on earth, and proceeds to explain how ihey, the disciples, were so concern- ed with proclaiming this stupendous message. "That this is he who is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead (John 5: 22, 27; Acts 17: 31). This startling claim made by St. Peter with reference to Jesus of Nazareth, with whom he had lived on terms ot closest intimacy, and in whose death he might well have seen the destruction of all his hopes, is a further evidence ot the change which had passed over the Apostle. "To him bear all the prophets witness." Here, particularly, Peter means they bear witness to the truth he is about to declare, namely, "that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive iemission of sins (Isa. 49: 6; Joel 2: 32). Whosoever Is the word which tells out the meaning of the gospel for a lost and guilty world. "While Peter yet spake these words." One of the countless inci- dents in Holy Writ which evidence the omniscience of God in perfectly timing every manifestation of his power and grace and guiding love. "The Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.'' Often spoken of as "the Gentile Pentecost." It did not come to them by the laying on of hands, it came to them In the very way in which it had come to the earliest disciples, without any human intervention, and made itself manifest in the very saune way. "And they of the circumcision that believed, " The six Jewish Chris- tians who had accompanied the Ap- ostle to Caesarea (ver. 23 and 11: 12). "Were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit." The miracle proved what Peter had said with a fullness of proof for which Peter himself perhaps was scarcely prepar- ed. "For they lieard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Cf. 2: 4. Probably nothing short ot this vis- ible manifestation would have con- vinced them that God was indeed claiming these Gentiles as his own. ^ "Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? The comment on this verse by Professor A. T, Robertson, one ot the outstanding New Testament scholars ot this generation, and him- self a Baptist, is particularly signi- llcant: "It was clear that they were already converted before the gift of the Holy Spirit came upon them, though regeneration itself If the work of the Holy Spirit also." "And he commanded them to be baptized In the name of Jesus Christ," Paul usually (1. Cor. 1: 14- 17), did not do the baptizing him- self. "Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." It is probable that Puier consented to stay, and showed that be was prepared to act according to tha teaching of tk» vision," Satufied Wrth School Ruling Stratford. â€" "That's saiisfactoxy > us," Reeve J. F. V^andrick, chair- maa of tiie education committM ot th« Perth Council, remarked whea informed that the London Board ot Education had iiutructed principal* of collegiate institu'^ea ther* that a» more students were to be acceptad from Perth County. The London board's action waa taken aa a result of the failure of the board and Perth County Council to reach an agreement on th« coat of tuition of Perth County pupils attending the London schools. "Very few ratepayers of Perth will be affected," Reeve Vandriek stated. "I believe there are only ona or two pupils from this county at- tending the London schools thia year. We would rather see them a^ tend collegiate in either Stratford or St Marys. The cost of tuition la the London coUegiates is higii, about twice what it is in Stratford or St. Marys."
