Social Drinking
The Presbyterian assembly at
Denver in speaking upon the tem
perance question urges the women's
society of the church to use their
influence to eliminate social drink
ing and the use of liquor in women's
clubs and in the home. The last
Sunday in October is set aside as
temperance day. The assembly has
acted wisely in bringing this sub
ject to the attention of the .churches.
Whatever one may think of prohi
bition or of regulation by licenses,
there can be no doubt that the most
far-reaching and permanent remedy
for intemperance is to be found in
the spread of the doctrine of total
abstinence. When men quit drink
ing, the saloon question will settle
itself; as long as men want to drink,
the saloon question will be a per
.plexing one, no matter what method
is employed for dealing with it. In
making the appeal' to the conscience
the assembly invokes the strongest
force of' which man has knowledge.
It all who call themselves Christians
would set an, example of total ab
stinence, the temperance movement
would 'receive a. tremendous impetus.
The Christian, aside from the rea
sons that may be described as sel
fish, has an unselfish reason for ab
staining from the use of liquors. He
feels responsible for the influence ex
erted by his examplo, and even
though he may feel that ho can 'with
safety to himself drink in modera
tion, ho can not lightly put aside
the fact that his drinking may lead
weaker men to ruin. Tho action of
the assembly will cause tho members
of tho church to ask themselves
whether the advantages of social
drinking are sufficient to Justify
them in taking, not only tho risk of
over-indulgence but the further risk
of leading astray those who may not
bo strong enough to draw the lino
between moderation and intomper-anceT

health if you give it bad food.
If you feed .right you will feel
right, for proper food and a good
mind is the sure Toad to health.
' "A year ago I became much
alarmed about my health for I be
gan to suffer after each meal no
matter how little I ate," says a Den
ver woman.
"I lost my appetite and the very
thought of food grew distasteful,
wth the result that I was not nour
ished and got weak and thin.
"My home cares were very heavy,
lor besides a large family of my
own I, have also to look out for an
aged mother. There was no one to
shoulder my household burdens, and
come what might I must bear tnem,
and this thought nearly drove me
frantic when I realized that my
health was breaking down.
"I read an article in the paper
about some one with trouble just
like mine being cured on Grape
Nuts food and acting on this sug
gestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial.
The first, dish of this delicious , food
proved that I had struck the right
thing.
"My uncomfortable feelings In
stomach and brain disappeared as if
by magic and in an incredibly snort
space of time I was again myself.
Since then I have gained 12 pounds
in weieht through a summer of hard
work and realize I am a very differ
ent woman, all due to the splendid
food, Grape-Nuts."

Vegetable Cookery
Baked Egg Plant Take one largo
egg-plant and put it in plenty of
water; let it simmer until tender,
then peel and take out tho seeds.
Chop the egg fine and arrange in
alternate layers of egg-plant, butter,
a sprinkle of salt and bread crumbs;
strew finely-powdered bread or
cracker crumbs with bits of butter
over the top, add three tablespoon
fuls of milk and bake in a deep
baking dish.
Corn Pudding Six ears of corn,
one pint of milk, two eggs, three
tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one
heaping teaspoonful of corn starch
or flour, one teaspoonful of salt and.
half a teaspoonful of pepper. Slice
off the tips of the grains with a
sharp knife, and scrape the corn
from the cob so as to get the heart,
but not the husk. Add the corn
to the well-beaten yolk of the eggs,
next, the butter, corn starch and
salt, and then the milk, and lastly
stir in the whites of the eggs. Pour
in a greased baking- dish and bake
in a quick oven.

in a dish and arrange the leaves In
such a manner as will give them

sauce made as follows: Rub one-

tablespoonful of flour, a little salt
and pepper and one small cupful of
warm water. Set it oyer the fire,
stirring until well mixed, but do not
let it boil. Remove from the fire
and add the juice of a lemon, a lit

grated nutmeg. If a thick sauce is
preferred, add the beaten yolk of
one egg.
