Helps for tlia Housewife
A delicious way of making lomon
pudding ia to uho apples, stowed dnd
mashod through a colander, instead
of broad crumbs or flour. It entirely
does away with tho objectionable
dttckinoBs of tho flour, and gives a
bettor flavor than tho crumbs.
It Ik claimed that, during seasons
when diphtheria and other contagious
diseases prevail, us they have 'lutJns
tho past fow months, onions, cooked
111 somo way should ho eaten at ieast
onco a week. Onions nro Invigorat
ing and prophylactic, and it is said
that whore children have frooly eaton
onions, nono havo died from diph
theria or scarlet fever. Thoro are
so many ways of cooking onions, and
so fow bit whal liko thorn, that chey
could bo served regularly without bo-
coming tiresome.
During cold weather, when one has
much to do with handling coal and
ashes, tho hands would bo greatly
helped If they aro washed clean at
night, then rinsed In borax water and
dried. Borax Is very healing and
will keep tho hands smooth. Put
crude borax in a bottle and fill tho
bottle with water. When all tho
borax is dissolved, add more until
the water will absorb no more, and
a rislduum remalm in the bottom of
tho bottlo. When ready to use, pour
enough of this solution Into tho water
you use to make it feel slippery, or
very soft. It will not hurt tho hands,
as thoro is nothing harmful In the
borax. Keop a bottlo on the wash
stand, and lot the children use it.
i In warming over old biscuit, do
not wet them, or sprinkle with water,
but put .thorn- qn a. tin, act in the
oven and" cover closely with another
tin. They will bo liko fresh ''ones.
Tho oven must bo quite hot, and' the
cover fltidown tightly. Tf tho oven
Is cool, tho biscuit will dry out and
bo tough.
: To cool a hot dish in a hurry, set it
in a vessel containing cold salted
T,yater. This will extract tho heat
more rapidly than fresh water.
Somo "Next Day" Recipes
: Mrs. Celeste V., of Missouri, sends
the following, intended for the De
cember number, but received too late.
They look good enough to "keep
over" in ono's scrap book: "After
the feast is over," gather up all the
nice scraps of cold meat and poultry,
with the bones, and break the bones
m pieces; put all the bones In water
with a small carrot, half a turnip;
half a good sized onion, and some
stalks of celery, a sprig of parsley,
if you havo it, such spices as you liko
in soup, and a small bunch of sweet
herbs; boll gently on the back of the
range for four hours; the scraps of
k meat should bo minced and added
when the bones have been on the lire
two hours; when done, strain the
, liquid through a colander to remove
the bones, season with salt and pep
per, thicken with a little corn starch,
add a teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce; if you havo a bit of curry
sauce, add that. There .ihould bo
water enough to make tho soup of
t'e right (jcupteienfcy, but tho quan
tity must be gauged by the amount of
meats and roues.
Bits of tujKi'V. chlckau. rabble.
.game, and oti oi meats should not be

.'the sauce in this way: Melt ono
tablespoonful of butter in a sauce
jan; when boiling, stir in one table
japoonful of flour, a pinch of salt, and
. fdash of pepper; add gradually ono
vcup of milk, or milk and water, and
let boll up, removing immediately

EDITORIAL 3,000 YEARS OLD
A little more than'3,'000 years agd
an inspired writer composed the fol
lowing editorial on 'wisdom, an'd it
has come down to us in compendium
of writings which we call the Bible'
A few. days ago the. Alabama Chris
tian Advocate republished it and
asked its preachers to tell where it
is to be found in the' Bible. It is a
beautiful tribute to .wisddm: -
"But where . siiill wisdom be
found? And where-Is the place of un
derstanding? "Man knoweth not the prico there
of;, neither is it found in the land of
tho living. -.',,
. "The depth saith, It Is not in me;
and the sea saith, It is vnot with me.
"It can not be gotten for. gold,
neither shall silver be' weighed' for
the price thereof .- - ,'.-
"It can not be valuedwith the. gold
of Ophir,, with the, precious onyx or
the, sapphire. . , ,
."The gold and the crystal can not
equal it; and the exchange of it shall
not be for jewels of .fine gold. ':
. "No mention shall be made of cor
al, or of pearls; 'for. the price of wis
dom iff-above rubies..
., -fTlie -topaz of .igthopia -shall r not
eqUial it, .'neither shalL it bo valuedi
with puro gold.
"Whence cometh wisdom? and
where is the place of understanding?
"Seeing it- is hid from the eyes of
all living, and kept close from the
fowls of the air.
"Pestruction and death say, Wo
na,ye heard thereof, with. v our. ears.
God understand eih the way" there
of, and He knoweth the way thereof.
"For he looketh to, the ends of the
earth, and seeth .under .the whole
heaven.
"To make the. weight. for tlie winds;
and he weighetli the waters by meas
ure. "When He made a decree 'for 'the
lightning of the thunder.
"Then did He see It,. and declare it;
He prepared it, yea, arid searched it
out.
"And unto manvHe saith, behold,
the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is under
Standing." Birmingham Ledger.
PROFESSION VS. PRACTICE
There are any number of people
who say that they believe in Chris
tianity. There are still more who
say they would like to see the prin
ciples of Jesus applied to human so
ciety. But there are very few who
are ready to enlist in the cause which
alone can ever make practical the
wonderful doctrines of Jesus. There
are any number of church members
who like to be in the parade which
nieets with the approval of their
friends and neighbors. A parade, as
such, is a perfectly harmless proceed
ing. Tliey like to sit on the grand
stand when the battle scarred veter
ans return after winning the victory.
It is "perfectly lovely" to patronize
those who have been woutaded in the
fightjand suffered' for" "the cause."
but when it comes to getting out and
doing Borne of the fighting themsolves
they prefer either to secretly send
substitutes or to keep out of range of
the hot altogether. Charles Stolzle
