SEASONABLE DISHES.
Mushrooms should be foimil plenti
fully, and served in various ways,
which adds a most
delicious dish to
the dally menu.
Curry of Mush
rooms. Stow n
quart of any kind
. of well-cleaned and
minced mushrooms
In a cupful of
stock or enough to
cover them well, add n tablespoonful
of butter and thicken with a teaspoon
ful each of curry and cornstarch ; sim
mer slowly for ten minutes and just
before taking from the lire add a half
cupful of sweet cream. Serve on
rounds of hot toaBt.
Pot Roast. Take n four-pound
roast of coarse, lean beef nnd fry In
hot snlt pork fut until well browned
on all sides. Cover with chopped onion,
a cupful of canned tomatoes, a sliced
carrot and a sliced turnip. Pour in
enough boiling water to come half way
up on the meat; cover closely nnd
simmer for two hours, turning nt tho
end of the first hour. Season well the
lust of the cooking. Take out tho meat
and thicken the gravy In the kettlo
and serve in. a gravy boat.

-squares, after buttering them. Cover
the bottom of a well-greased baking
pnn with the toast, sprinkle over a
few raisins or a few stoned dates and
dust lightly with clnnajnon and con
tinue until all the bread Is used. Make

It Is not so much what you say,
As the manner In wh'ch you say It;
It Is not so much tlrtjlanguage you
use.
As the form by which you convoy It.
PUTTING UP FRUITS FOR WINTER.
Fruits will keep perfectly well If
properly canned nnd sealed without
sugar. Hut Hie experi
ence of tho housewives
who thought they were
saving by doing so last
summer nnd fall was
sad, ns sugar kept going
up in price even after
the panning season.
Gooseberry Catchup.
Pick over, wash and
drain live pounds of
gooseberries', add four
pounds of sugar, two cupfuls of cider
vlnegnr, one and a half tablcspoonfuls
of cinnamon, one tablespoonful each of
cloves and allspice. Let simmer for
two,, hours. Fill bottles and seal.
Spiced "Currants. One of tho first
ossentlnls In good flavored spiced
fruits Is a good vinegar. So many
otherwise good fruits nre spoiled with
an Inferior brand. Make your own
vinegar out of tho small unsnlable ap
ples, apple parings and cores or from
apple elder. Pick over seven pounds
of currants, removing the stems; ndd
five pounds of sugnr (brown), two cup
fuls of cider vinegar and three table
spoonfuls each of cloves, and cinnamon
tied In a small muslin bag. Heat the
vinegar with the spices for a few mln
mites before adding the currants, cook
for a tlmo before adding the sugar.
Then cook an hour and a hnlf. Store
in small Jars, well covered.
Raspberry Jam. Pick over six
qunrts of raspberries tand wolgh them.
Heat an equal amount of sugnr. Mash
n few of tho berries In the bottom of
the kettle nnd continue until all the
fruit Is used. Heat slowly to the boil
ing point nnd ndd the heated sugar.
Again boil nnd simmer 88 minutes.
Store In stone Jnrs nnd keep in a dry
place.
Tomato Conserve. Tho yellow to
matoes mny be used for this recipe
mnklng n most nttrnctlvo color. Peel
four quarts of ripe tomntoes, cut In
pieces. Add six lemons sliced thin,
removing the seeds; two cupfuls of
sultana raisins and four pounds of
sugnr. Bring to the boiling point and
simmer one hour. Store In Jolly gloss
es. To make mint Jelly, brush a bunch
of mint through the apple Jolly as it Is
cooking until the desired flavor Is
reached.

had.
CANNING BY FIRELESS COOKER.
One of tho first steps In canning by
any method Is to see thnt the- cans nre
tested nnd nre perfect
ly nlrtlgh , then nlways
use new rubbers nnd
good, even tops. The
cans should be well
washed, then put Into
cold water and brought
to the boiling point. The
rubbers should be dipped
Into the hot water to In
sure their clennllness. All fruit should
be of the best, neither over nor under
ripe.
In cnnnlng berries or smnll fruits, fill
the sterile Jars as full as possible. Fill
the Jars with a heavy sirup, using any
proportion of sweetness desired, the
more sugar that Is used the heavier
the sirup. Now place the Jars on a
trivet In a cooker utensil, fill with boil
ing water to the shoulder of the jars,
boil five minutes, then remove the
utensil tightly covered to the cooker,
and let stand three hours, then re
move, fill the Jnrs with more boiling
sirup, place the rubbers and tops and
senl. When lnrger fruits are canned
the snme method is used, but the
radiators nre heated and the fruit
stands in the cooker from five to six
hours.
Canned Strawberries. Pack the
fruit into sterilized Jnrs placed on n
cloth wrung out of hot water. Fill
the Jars with a sirup which has boiled
15 minutes. Put the Jnrs on n trivet
in the tireless utensil, pour nround tho
boiling water until up to the neck of
the Jars and let boll five minutes. Re
move the cooker, fill the Jurs to over
flowing, put on rubbers nnd cover and
let stand until cold. Put uway in a
dark place to keep. Raspberries and
cherries are canned in the same way,
allowing the sirup to boll ten min
utes. For canning fruit the usual method
Is to allow two and a hnlf to three
cupfuls of water to a pound of.
sugar.
Never use a bent cover or one thnt
bulges up on the top. New rubbers,
should always be used. If tho mason
jar Is used It is n good plan to run 'tho
handle of a knife along the edge of
the cover nfter It has been sealed as
tightly as possible.
Raspberries make most delicious Jel
ly combined with a little currant Juice
or cooked alone.
Forget what others think. Tho
thing that matters Is what you think
yourself nnd what you believe In,
yourself.
WAYS WITH GREEN PEAS.
If wo all do our part In the raising,
of foodstuffs, everybody will have:
plenty of green
pens.
Peas With Ba
con. Cut a quar
ter of a pound of,
bacon into small
pieces. Cook in n,
hot frying pan'
with four small
onions sliced, af
ter live minutes add one tablespoonful
of Hour, stir in u cupful of stock, nnd'
boll eight minutes, then ndd a quart of,
shelled peas, cooking with the cover'
off the saucepan.
Green Peas Souffle. Rub two cup-
fuls of green peas (cooked) through a1
sieve. Melt two tablespoonfuls of but-
ter hi a saucepan nnd ndd the puree ;i
season with salt and pepper and nddl
the yolks of two eggs.one at a time,
off the fire; add four tablesp6onfuls
of white sauce und the stiffly beutea
whites of tho eggs. Butter some pa
per dishes and fill three-quarters full.'
Green Pea Soup. Cook the pods
from a quart of shelled peas until the
pods have mst their color. Reserve
the liquor and cook the peas with four
small peeled onions, which have been
minced nnd fried In two tnblespoonfuls
of butter; ndd n heart of lettuco shred-(
ded, n bunch of herbs, thyme, mint,
parsley and a bay leaf tied together;
add a tablespoonful of rice nnd cook
all together until the vegetables may
be put through a sieve. Add two cup
fuls of fresh cooked peas and n cup
ful of rich milk with a pinch of sugar
added. The yolks of two eggs added
Just before serving, using caro not to
overheat the soup so that the eggs will
curdle.
Any leftover fish may make n most
appetizing dish by tossing It lightly, In
a saucepan with a llttlo hot fatlhor
oughly heated, then surround with)
mashed potatoes and garnish with a
few cooked green pens.
Gypsy Stew. This Is n recipe whlclv
lias appeared several times, but is nl
ways ono that is liked. Cut bits of
snlt pork In smull cubes, fry until1
brown ; add small now onions, new po
tatoes, nnd pens with a few now car
rots; cook in Just enough water to
keep them from scorching and ndd n.
quart or less of good rich milk with
seasonings when rendy to servo.
TEXT To him glvo all the nronhets
witness, that through his name whoso
ever bclloveth in him shall recclvo roiuls.
Ion ot sins. Acts 10:43.
This text forms tho close of t'cters
sermon to Cornelius. Surely here if
nnywhero we hnvo
the way of salvn
tlon because In
Acts 11 we nre
told thnt Peter
wan sent to Cor
nelius to "tell
him tho words
whereby he and
all his house
should ho saved."
Poter has spoken
of the grace of
God which sent
salvation, ho has
spoken of tho
do nth of Christ
which has pur
c h a b o d salvn-
lion, he hns spoken of tho resur
rection of Christ which Insures sal
vation, nnd then he says that "who
soever belleveth on him shnll receive
remission of sins."
Faith In Christ Necessary.
Cornelius wns a very sincere mnn,
(doing the very best he knew how, but
,hls sincerity wns not sufllclcnt. lie
was something like Paul, who says
"thnt if any mnn hnd whereof he might
trust in the flesh, he more." In tho
.second place Cornelius wns n very re
ligious man for he hart conviction of
sin which led him to sorrow for his
sin. A rending of tho tenth chapter of
Acts would show he had n grent desire
to know the way of salvation, no wns
nlso, wo nro told, n mnn of grent piety,
which showed Itself In great reverence
nnd much liberality in the wny of
nlms giving. To crown it nil ho wns
a mnn given to much prayer. But his
piety, reverence, prayer or even his
repentnnce was not sufficient to glvo
Jilm salvation. Sincerity of purpose
nnd Christianity nre not synonymous;
religion nnd Christianity nre not
synonymous. None of these things
which nre so much thought of ns be
ing necessary for salvation can ever
take the place of simple faith In Jesus
Christ. The Bible does not say "who
soever repenteth nnd Is reverent nnd
prays and hns a desire to bo saved, or
Is sincere, shnll find remission of sins."
It does say most distinctly thnt "who
soever belleveth In him shall receive
remission of sins."
Faith In Christ Sufficient for Salvation.
The thief upon the cross could not
get down nnd undo wlint he had done,
nor mnko restitution of nny kind, nor
could he como down from the cross
nnd live a good life, but he could ex
ercise faith in Christ, nnd this was suf
ficient for his saltation. NIcodemus
had everything which would recom
mend him ns worthy of salvation, but
his morality and rectitude of character
left him dead In trespasses and in sins
until ho exorcised simple faith in
Christ. When Paul speaks to the
brutal Roman Jailer of Phlllppl he says
nothing of reformation of life, but tells
Mm simply to "believe on tho Lord
Jesus Christ nnd thou shnlt be saved."
When Philip finds Nathaniel engaging
In prayer, ho does not tell him to pray
harder or longer, but brings him to
Christ. The noly Spirit declares In
Romnns 4 :5, "but to him thnt worketh
not. but belleveth on him that Justl
fleth the ungodly, his faith Is counted
for righteousness." The Gospel of
John has been written "that we might
believe thnt Jesus Is the Christ, the
Son of God, nnd that believing we
might hnvo life In his nnme." While
.faith In Christ Is absolutely neces
sary for salvation, It is entirely suffi
cient. Faith in Christ Open to All.
Our text does not pick out nny par
ticular class which may hnvo faith In
Christ, but It uses the widest word
possible and says, "whosoever bellev
eth In him shall receive remission of
sins.'! This wide word Is used
throughout all of Scripture. Isaiah
says, "no, every ono that thlrsteth."
John .1 :lfl declares, "That God so loved
the world that he gave his only be
gotten Son, that whosoever belleveth
in him should not perish, but have over
lasting life." Romnns 1:10 declnres
thnt tho Gospel of Christ "Is the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that
belleveth." And tho Bible closes with
tho broad invitation for whosoever wilt
to come. No ono is shut out. Faith In
Christ Is the simplest thing In the
world. It Is absolutely necessary, but
wholly sufficient for salvation.
Setting the Right Order.
Goa loves to bring people out of oh
S"urlty. Ho cannot do it when they
ltihlst upon bringing themselves out.
To take the humblest place gives God
the best chance to say, "Como up high
er." A Christian, sending to tho Sun-
Day School Times on account of a per
sonal experience, writes: "If you think
It would ho best to sign my full name
best for the cause, I mean do not
hesitate to do it I have nlways in tho
years past signed my full name to my
writings, but it matters so little, and
to he llttlo matters so much, thnt I
have no will but his will in thnt, ns In
all things." She has things In their
right order. His will Is tho only thing
that counts; nnd when wo are doing
ols will wo are always "In first place."
Much Red Tape Involved
ASHINGTON. The next time you come to Washington ami President
Wilson or some member of the White House family sends word he'd
like to have you call It might Interest
Is followed in such an instance. If it
is only it social matter or if It Is u
nintter of not pressing business you
would get a telephono call along about
eight or nine o'clock nt night. Tho
first voice on tho other end would say,
after asking for you :
"This Is tho White House, Mr.
Hoover would like to speak to you."
Hoover is tho major rtomo ex
traordinary nnd minister plenipoten
tiary of tho White House. Ho handles
everything that emanates from the
"Houso" end ; Secretary Tumulty, of course, handles all matters that nro taken
up In tho executive offices; but this matter iu question Is supposed to be
strictly n "Houso" nffalr.
Hoover will either tell you "the president (or so-and-so) would be pleased
to see you at th White House tomorrow. Could you arrange to be there nt
ten o'clock?"
Then Hoover In grent detail will Instruct you to call at the cast or north
entrance. If it is the enst entrance you may know thnt the White House is
nnxious about everyone knowing that you are to call ; and Hoover will go on
to tell you to tell tho policeman at the gate to mention your name.
When you get there the next morning you do It; the pollcemnn tells you
to go to the big carriage entrance and repent; you do. Then a white-haired
police sergeant tells you he's pleased to meet you, and will you please walk
down the semlsubterrnneun hallway until you run Into a secret service man.
You do this, too, and the secret service man, probably Jack Slyo or Dick
Jarvls, picks you up ut the end of the hall nnd the foot of the stairway lead
ing to the mnssive mnln entrance hall, whero tho sunve, punctilious, perfectly
garbed and smiling Hoover greets you like a lost brother.
Hoover conducts you to a "small" adjoining reception room that la as
big as most fcjks' front parlors, where you at last find the pcrsou who wants
to see you. Tne way out Is the way in, reversed.
Ennui a Thing Unknown in National Capital

perhaps buy some "goodies" to eat
which arc not to bo hnd In enmp. Regnrdless of Mr. Hoover's warnings, a
large number of "fourth" meals, which he claims would feed an nrmy of
1,000,000 men, are "being eaten In Washington every night, nnd a great many
of those enjoying them are tho army men, hence they figure no real harm
is done.
Tho tlienters also feel the impetus and especially tho largo "movie"
houses. They are packed. The newcomers require entertnlnment. Several
large theaters are to be rushed to completion before the nrrlval of autumn.
As for hotels, Washington, which has a great mnuy of them, hns not
lenough of them. They hnvo been crowded to the doors since Inaugural day,
Mnrch 4. They have never been so prosperous us now. Several largo new
.hotels nro to be added to the number now llndlng themselves very busy nnd
occupied, both old and now. None Is to close during the summer, ns has so
frequently been tho case In years past.
Will Conserve Artistic Beauty of Arlington
IN FURTHERANCE of tho policy ngalnst the erection of nny structuro In
the Arlington national cemetery likely to mnr tho nrtlstlc and harmonious
appearance of tho reservntlon, the president has directed that no monuments
or markers shall be erected there here
after unless the designs have been pre
viously approved by tho commission on
fine arts. Generally it Is desired to con-
Jlne nil such memorials to designs of
dlgnlllcd and simple architecture.
To that end It hns been prescribed
that the dimensions of a monument
nbnve the level of the ground shnll In
no ense exceed seven feet In length,
three und a hnlf feet in width nnd four
feet In height for nn officer below the
rank of mnjor ; or seven feet In length,
four feet In width and four nnd a hnlf feet In height for nn officer between the
grades of mnjor nnd brigadier general ; or seven feet In length, four nnd a
half feet in width nnd five feet In height for nn officer above, tho rank of
brigadier general. For enlisted men the dimensions shall not exceed six feet
In length, thrco feet In width and three feet in height.
Several lending architects In this country recently have gratuitously fur
nished the qunrtermnster general of tho army, who has charge of the ceme
tery, vnrlous designs conforming to the prescribed dimensions. These designs,
which meet nrtlstlc requirements, will be recommended by tho fine nrts com
mission to thoso desiring to erect memorials In tho cemetery n8 desirable
types from which to make a selection.
Primarily the now rules are designed to govern tho chnracfer of monu
ments and markers to bo erected In the newly opened section of tho cemetery
in the general vicinity of the Arlington Memorial amphitheater, which has
been selected ns the southern tcrmlnnl of the proposed memorial brldgo ncross
the Potomac, from tho site of tho Lincoln memorial in West Potomac park.

HARD ROADS ARE NECESSARY'
Dig Essential In Using Trucks for
Transportation of Farm Products
to City Markets.
The farm truck Is destined to piny
an importnnt part In thg marketing of
farm produce, but In the meantime
much nttentlon must be paid to tho
roadways over which they uro to bo
operated, In tho opinion of W. H. San
ders, Instructor In farm motors In tho
Kansas Stnte Agricultural college.
"To uso n truck to advantage hard
roads are necessary," said "Mr. San
ders. "TruckB have been used with
marked success for a number of years
on paved streets. Although they were
used to transport food nnd water to;
the United Stntcs troops during the.
recent occupation of Mexico, the war
department Boon decided that hard!
roads were n requirement in operating'
trucks to the best advantage.
"Uso of a truck on tho farm eaves
tlmo and reduces tho number of men
required to do the farm hauling. Whcnt
a truck is operated on tho farm great-)
er care will bo used in laying out the
fields so ns to give n more efficient use,
of power expended. Time will bo:
saved, becnuse less time will be spent!
on tho road between town nnd tho
farm. Tho number of farm hands
will nlso bo reduced."
PERMANENT ROADS IN FAVOR
Money Spent for Location, Grading,
and Drainage of Roads Is Use
ful Expenditure.
Investing money In the proper loca
tion, grading nnd drainage of roads Ib:
about the most permanently useful
expenditure of public funds that can
bo made. Usually courthouses aro
considered typical of such an Invest
ment, but n well-located road Is serv
iceable for a far longer period. Tho.
courthouse Is outgrown nt the end of
n quarter century; If it continues in:
Road of Bituminous Macadam.
uso longer It must bo remodeled nnd
the public officials In It clamor for bet
ter quarters. But a rond laid out on.
proper lines and grades serves tho
public forever, and on that nccount
Its location should bo made by a com
petent engineer. Furthermore, even
the local roads should bo laid out with
the same core, so thnt as tho country!
develops they will Improve with It nnd
not require expensive purchases for
new riglits-of-way. Foresight In such
mutters will have valuable results
within a comparatively few years la
a country growing us fast as tho Unit
ed States.
