String beans of either green or wax varieties are a delight to the palate when well cooked. The method reeommendod by the Fruit Branch, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture is as follows: Wash, remove strings and ends,and either leave whole or cut in one inch lengths. Allow a very small amount of salted <vater and cook beans in a closely covered saucepan for thirty minutes. Place over a low fire at first until some juice is extracted, then raise the temperature. All liciuid should be absorbed when beans are cooked. The use of different sauces makes for variety. Beans with Tomatu Sauce 3 cups beans 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup tomato juice 2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper Cook beans in a little water so that practically all liquid is absorb- ed when they are tender. Then add butter, and when melted and well mixed through the beans, sprinkle the flour over, and stir over the fire. Then slowly add tomato juice, stir- ring well. Cook five minutes. Bean Pickle Prepare and cook beans as dir- ected above. Make a pickle mixture using: , 3 lbs. sugar 3 pints vinegar 2 tablespoons celery seed 2 teaspoons tumeric 1 cup mustard 1 cup flour Heat vinegar, mix mustard, flour and spice in a little cold vinegar, add hot vinegar gradually; cook, stirring constantly until thick as cream; add beans, cook five minutes taking care that they do not stick to the ket- tle, or burn. Bottle and seal at once. BKEAKFAS.T SETS THE PACE The food you give your family at breakfast will set the pace for the whole day â€" for we must never lost; sight of the fact that a long time has elapsetl since the evening meal the night before. Appetites will awaken at the sight of an icy cold half melon, filled to overflowing with golden, crisp corn flakes. This is de- licious eating and a dish to give the family ijui'-'k energy for work or play. Toasties Melon Cup Chill small ripe cantaloupe. Cut in halves, allowing one half to each serving. Remove seeds. Cut thin slice from bottom of each half so that cantaloupe will rest firmly on plate. Fill center with corn flakes. Serve with light cream and powder- ed sugar. juices, which greatly aid digestion. Dr. Woods Hutchison, the cele- brated physician and dietitian, stat- ed in the public press recently that pickles are loaded with vitamins, hence have pronounced food value. The Hollanders consume large quantities of pickles and the Frauleins set great store by them for beauty's sake, as they improve the complexion. Pickles are recommended by the eminent physicians of England, Hol- land and Germany, who recommend them as a remedy for dizziness and heartburn. French physicians for many years have recommended pickles as a pre- ventative of freckles and for clear- ing and heightening the complexion through their corrective action on digestion and the cleansing of the blood. The further south you go, the more popular sour pickles are, due to the natural craving for the cooling and healthful action of the acid. The calory value of sour spiced pickles is greater than that of ap- ples, oranges, peaches, pears and three times the fuel value of bean soup, nearly double the value of spinach, asparagus, onions and other vegetables, also codfish and black bass. (The above .14 points are based upon the very best medical auth- orities and statistics.) A Scouting Party THE HUMBLE PICKLE (â- .,000,000 bushels cucumbers are required by pickle manufactujers annually to supply the normal de- mand. The British Army and Navy rec-' ognize pickles as an essential part of a well-balanced ration. The sugar content of sweet pickl- es has much food value. The lactic acid contained in dill pickles i.s recognized by dietitians as an aid to digestion. Sour pickles eaten by sailors on long sea voyages prevent scurvy. Commander Byrd in his requisit- ion for supplies for the Antarctic Expedition provided for a large sup- ply of pickles. A pickle added to a dry sandwich luncheon converts it into a palatable meal. The aromatic aroma and flavor of pickles when eaten excite the gastric EMERGENCY &HELF Do you have an emergency shelf in your pantry? It's first aid to hospitality when some friend hap- pens in unexpectedly, providing that extra company touch for a pot-luck meal. And when the man of the family telephones at the last minute that he"s bringing someone home to dinner, it saves the terrors of being unprepared. In stocking the emergency shelf choose only the best canned meats and vegetables, fruits and condi- ments. They require less time dress- ing up. Plan definitely, too, just hovv each article will be u;i.'d in the emerg- ency. You may have a r.iiniature grocery store at your elbow, but without a variety that will prove adequate for a well-balanced and ap- petizing meal, the emergency shelf won't be of the help it should be. The shelf should contain the mak- ings of a full meal â€" soup, meat, veg- tablos, salad and dessert. Though all need not be used for the same meal. Keep a can of nut meats ready to use, a tin l»x of marshmallows, a tin of extra fine salad waft is, a bottle of olives, a jar of mayonnaise and a package of long-keeping va- riety of cheese. Home-made catsup or chilli sauce added to the mayonnaise will make a Russian dressing to serve with head lettuce for a dinner salad that nearly everybody likes. Or nuts and olives finely chopped may be com- bined with cheese and made into tiny balls ser^-cd on lettuce leaves. The salad wafers lightljr buttered and toasted add much to any salad and are particularly acceptable if the portions are small. Salmon, tuna fish, crab meat, shrimp, boned chicken, ham or corn- ed beef will solve the luncheon salad, or may be made into delicious hot dishes. Canned soups, of course, are in- valuable. Some need only to be re- heated while others must be diluted with milk or water. Macaroons keep almost indefinitely in tightly closed cans. Many varie- ties of canned puddings and quickly mixed packages of dessert that are delicious and easy to use and quickly prepared. Last, but not least, replace each item from the shelf as you use it â€" I Sir Percy Everett (left).

WHEN A MAN LAYS THE TABLE It is very seldom that a' man tells us what he really thinks about the way the table at which he takes his meals is arranged. Usually he ac- cepts his wife's taste in the matter unqucstioningly. But does he like it? I wondered that as I walked round an exhibition of table-setting at which men arch- itects and designers were responsible for one or two tables each. Two well-known architects flatly refused from the first to allow any cloth or mats to be used. The were Wells Coates and Frederick Gibberd, the latter only 27, and therefore very modern in his ideas. His choice was a set of cream yel- low china with a pale grey flower and a dull red circle. It stands on a walnut tabe edged with sycamore; the latter wood, like the tweed-cov- ered chairs, harmonising with the color of the china. Weils Coates chose "curves" Round plates and oval dishes with concentric circles of green and silver stand on a walnut table with round- ed edges and curved legs. One of the most interesting tables was arrangeii by Oliver Hill, who v.as the architect of five sections of the British .Art in Industry Exhibi- tion at Burlington House. Its motif was diagonal lines, its color grcoii und silver. The corners of the table were cut diagonally to correspond with the position of the oblong glass ashVays, while the cen- trepiece was a set of four oblong glass dishes, filled with the heads of white flowers and ingeniously placed side to side. As on other masculine tables, an ashtray was placed at each corner. Hostesses, please note! Most men, apparently, like low centrepieces and tall candles. Mr. J. Emberton, architect of the new Oiympia, is an exception. On a wal- nut table, again without mats, he sets jasmine china with orange and gold bands, tvi'o very tall candles, and a large centrepiece of china flowers, standing on mirror glass. â-  luard.

Breaking into the clever parade of smart blacks are tweeds which tend to such off shades as bois de rose, a light prune, grayed to the fur trimming, a wisteria shade in novelty woollen and black and white mixtures which give various tones of gray. In trimming and combinations there are brighter tones, velveteen blouses and scarfs with tweed suits, velvet trimmings on black frocks in such bright hues as ruby red and sapphire. Deep gold bracelets are an- other bright trimming which offsets the somberness of a black frock, sometimes with the response of a golden brooch. One black frock opens coatwise over an underdress of bright satin and the little suit costumes introduce the pipings of velvet which are a feature of this season.

GOLDEN TEXT.â€" In all things 1 gave you an example, that 80 laboring ye ought to help the weak. Acts 20:35. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TDIK and PLACE. â€" Tlie actual dates for the various events In the life of the Apostle Paul have proved a subject of wide disagreement. H;ir- nack places the conversion of Paul in 30 A.D.. and his death in 64 A.D. Ram.say mak'^s t'be two dates, respec- tively. :!2 A.D. and I'u A.U. Probably liis ileatli occurred fid or GT .\.U. Pa\il was born possibly three or four years after the Lord Je us was born. The places of his labor are too numerous to enumerate here. "I coveted no mint silver, or gold or apparel." Thus was Paul free from all suspicion or false accusa- tion concerniv- luouey matters in all the collections whicll were taken for t^io poor, and in the matter ot his own support. "Ye yourselves know that tliese hands ministerd unto necessities, and to them that were with me." <'f, 1 Cor. 4:12. .\s he held his hands up, they saw a tongue ot irutii in every seam that marked them. "In all things I gave you an ex- ample, that .so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he him- self said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." This Is the only •aying of Jesus recorded in the New Testament not to be found in the tJimpels. "Rejoice in the Lord always: asaiu 1 will say, Rejoice." To rejoice iu tihe Lord does not mean that a man is to be insensible to sorrow and di.s- iress, to .suffering or to .sin, either in 'lis own life or in the lives about him; l)ut it .ioea uiean that these dark realitle.! will not be allowed to master him, nor to blind him from lUe radiance which streams from the face of his living Lord. "Let your forbearance he known uulo all men.'' The word here trans- lated forbearance means that dispo- sition which i.i opposed to a spirit lif contention and self-seeking. "The I-ord is at hand." The lesson for all of u< Is not that the Lord u coming, which is true, hut because the Lord is nigh, his presence is with us. "In nothing be anxious." The word here translated anxious comes from a w.')rd moaning to divide, to sepa- rate, to pull apart. An anxious heart is one whicli is divided and t<;ru in il.^ division. "But in everything by prayor and supplication. ' The ftr^t word refers to the general offering up of tlie wishes and desires to God; th.i second implies special petition (Of the supply of wants. "With thanksgiving.'; No greater barrier to progress iu prayer can be set up llian ingratitude to God. "Let your reuesi.i be made known unto t!od." This is the only abiding, permanent cure for anxiety. Tell it to the Lord in prayer. "And the peace ot God. wliiC'h pass- eth all understanding." The inner- most tranquillity caused by contact with bim. blended by his Spirit into ours, the peace which transcends all mind, for no reasoning can explain it.s niuiire and its consciousness. â- ShaJl guard your hearts and your ihousht; in Christ .lesus." Tho word hor..> translated guard means lo pro- tect by a military guard, i.e.. to post sentries at the gates to protect a city from Invasion. "Finally, brethren. whatsoever things are true, whatsoever tt'iin^s are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, wbat. â- oever things are of good report; it ti'iere be any virtue, and if there be any prai.se. think on these things.'' Tlie last phrase, if there be any praise, does not mean only the com- mendation of others, but it describes moral approbation, whether of kings or of men. cven of God. Such •high thinking cannot fail to result Tn nohiliiy of character and worthy deeds. "Tho things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me. these things do.' Here, as often. Paul commend< his own life and prac- tice to iiis converts as aa example which they are to follow, and, when every minister and teacher can sup- port his words and writings by an acknowledged sincerity of lite, the power ot his teaching is tremendous- ly multiplied. "And the God of peace shall be witih you." Wherever you go. whatever you do. down deep below the surface. "But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your tliought tor nie." Literally, you .shot forih (as a hrancii) thought in my behalf. ••Wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked oppor- tunity." Lightfoct translates it "iu which ye did indeed interest your- selves. Paul's purpose in writing the Philippians really was to tiiank them for their kindness to him. but many other things were so much on his heart that he postpones this mater- ial m.iiter to tihe end of the Epistle. "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, In whatso- ever state I am, therein to be con- tent". "1 know how to be abased." In classical Greek this verb is used of the failin.g of a river in drought. "And I know also how to abound: iu evtry. thing and iu all things Jiave I learn- ed the secret of both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be In want." He is able to be cairn and confident In the midst ot the most disturbing circumstances. "I can do all thin:;3 in him that strengtiheneth me." This Is only one of the many phrases found in i^auls letters which reveal him as one mastered by Christ. .A. scientist discovers that the slow- est thinkers live longest. That the kind of proposition that cannot be proved on a busy highway. Little Man, f ou'll Have A Dizzy Day One black morning you waken witk a woolly brain and limbs that ache. Some mysterious force pulls your head back every time you try to raise it from the pi.low. Dizzily you go through your ab- lutions, ana at the breakfast table you are oblivious ol the shining: morning faces, the newspapers, tho letters, or the friendly little wag of the dog's tail. The bacon and eggs, the coffee, the toast, what are they to you?.. Black spots fly across your eyes,; cold shivers play scales on your' spine, and sweat pours into your palms. The mirror will tell you why it was wrcng to eat mayonnaise at midnight. Those eyeballs, tinged with yellow, that sallow cheek, that tongue that looks as if it had been out all night in the frost â€" all these indicate that the liver is literally fed up with you and your silly ways of fatty feed- ing. The sooner you realize that you • must swear repentance the better.! Begin by taking a large dose of salts, and follow this up by pinta| and pints of pure cold water at re-j gular intervals. Ref/e every tomi: of food, even milk, and go away to some spot where you can be like thej great Garbo, alone. ; By evening you will feel less like- a man under sentence of death and' more affable towards a pork chop. But touch ncitiicr crumb nor crusty until next morning, when you will realize tlie good that has been dons by salts, starvation and solitude.
