i f v earner rnintitiitinniii u s3 i ii 55 leftover luncheons it isnt worth while retting any thing in just for my lunch says the housekeeper whos alone all day and so she takes the proverbial cup of tea or coffee and any odd leftovers that happen to be in the pantry its an unappetizing meal and a hurried j and therefore nearly as bad as wo meal at all it is a foolish habit likely to lead to headaches weariness and frazzled nerves and cfuite un necessary even in these days of high cost of living for there is no need to buy anything fresh the leftovers can be transformed with very little troublo into something savory and tempting take that tablospoonful of cold cereal for instance it wouldnt be particularly inviting as a luncheon dish in its leftover state but it could bo kneaded with enough flour to make a pliable paste shaperl into two thin small cakes and fried to a golden brown or baked on a gridlo served on a very hot plate with a little bub- ter and maple or golden syrup they would be delicious scallop shells are a boon to the lunchfotone person the tiniest scrap of cold fisheven adesserb- spoonfulcan be mixed with a couple of tablespoonfuls of nicely seasoned white sauce and baked in a buttered shell if the top is dotted with tiny bits of margarine or sprinkled with grated cheese so much the better odds and ends of cold vegetables such as potatoes cauliflower sprouts or carrots can be mixed with sauce in the same way seasoned with a sprinkling of cheeso and baked to a golden brown half a baked potato can be transformed into a tasty in dividual dish it may not be very substantial but being hot and savory it will probably make the person en joying it eat plenty of bread and but ter or be ready for a satisfying sec ond course of bread or biscuits and cheese s cold peas beans or potatoes make a splendid basis for a cupful of hot cream soup mash the vegetable season to taste add enough fresh milk to make the amount required and boil for a minute or so a tea- spoonful of cream will add nutrition a slice of cold lamb should be cut up very small and cooked for seven or eight minutes in half a cupful of white sauce made rather thick sea soned to taste and served on hot toast cold meat may be served up very temptingly in jelly cut it into neat cubes pour over enough gelatine to cover well and leave till set turn it out cut into squares and mix with a couple of young lettuce leaves finely shredded or any other salad and sprinkle with some mayonnaise sauce or cream salad dressing to make tho jelly dissolve about half a sheet of gelatine in a gill of nicely seasoned stock or water in a thousand ways the odds and ends can be so resuscitated that they will stimulate the appetite and make the lonely snach a pleasant meal hints useful always use ico water when mixing piecrust when broiling chickens lay them skin she up carrots and peas put together and seasoned are a very good summer dish all bacon is improved by having boiling water poured over it before frying a delicious and economival dessert is stewed figs and boiled rice served together tea jelly can be made in the same way as coffee jelly and it is a plea sant change a teaspoonful of vinegar put into homemade candy will prevent it from being sticky preserve cherries and blanched al monds are a delightful addition to the fruit salad use fresh green grapo leaves to place on top of pickles in crocks in stead of a cloth milk bottles should be filled with cold water the instant the milk is tak en oirt then they wash easily if you use a brick for an iron stand your iron will remain hot lon ger than with the ordinary iron stand- grapefruit seeds will grow and make a pretty ornament for tho breakfast table in winter put a tablespoonful of ammonia in to a quart of water and wash your brushes in it never put soap on hairbrush a little powdered alum rubbed on gilt braid or lace after it has been brushed well will restore the bright ness alum should be left on for a few hours then brushed off often the yoke of an egg will re move stains from wash goods the egg should be applied before putting into the wash leftover macaroni can be recook- ed by putting in a dish with cream children are its victims infantile paralysis still a dread mystery almost invariably leaves some ter rible mark after it and re coveries arc rare it is earnestly to be hoped that the epidemic of infantile paralysis which sauce and a little minced green and i raging in new york and has spread rod peppers and baked with bread to several other states will not reach crumbs and cheese sprinkled over the this country there are a few cases to in montreal but otherwise canada shortage of doctors how to wash woollen goods to wash woollen goods successfully tho water should be soft and warm not hot and of uniform temperature throughout the operation only the milder soaps should be used and these not applidd directly to the fabric if much dirt is present a volatile alkali such as ammonium carbonate may be added to the wash water the scrubbing to which fabric is subjected should be gentle and the wringing through loosely set wring ers once washed the goods should not bo allowed to lie about wet but should be immediately hung up to dry preferably out of doors if the air is dry and the temperature above freez ing the reason for this careful treat ment is found in tho peculiar nature of the wool fibre its outer or epi dermal layer is mado up of minuto serrations which aro arranged in gome such manner as the scales on a fish now these scales arc softened and opened up by hot water and hy euch alkalis as are found in the harsher soaps in this softened con dition the pressure due to hard scrubbing is sufficient to cause the serratod edges of the fibres to inter lock or felt felted fibres are usual ly hard and brittle this is because the alkali which has helpofl in fel- turing process has removed from the cells certain fatty substances which serve to make the fibre soft and pli able fabrics which have become hard ttnd folt have not only lost their attractiveness but also most of their usefulness as a protection from tho cold this latter quality is duo to tho air blanket which forms in thc spaces hetweon tho fibres for quiet air is as we know a very poor conductor of heat and cold when tho fibres havo become felted these air spaces aro lost and conse quently tho fabric is no longer able to materially aid the body to retain its heat medical corps has taken 11000 and wants 4000 more the british government is calling for moredoctors for the army sur geongeneral sir alfred keogh has appealed to the medical profession to mobilize voluntarily other wise it is suggested recourse will have to be had to medical conscription a lon don coddespondent of the associated press says many of the doctors in private practice at home object to mobilizing even voluntarily many members of tho british medical as sociation maintain that the army has already all the doctors it requires if it would only learn how to employ them to the best advantage some of them even suggest that the war office should learn how to do it from the enemy one authority says already the royal army medical corps has taken 11000 doctors from private practice and they are asking for another 4000 making in all 15- 000 this 15000 medical officers in the permanent service gives a total of 1g500 to attend to an army of about 4000000 the germans for an army of 10000000 have 14000 medical officers the position at home is serious as there are only 30000 medical men and women in practice with 15000 tak en away no more than 15000 are left to attend to a population of 41000000 men women and children how grave the position is may be suggest ed by recalling that more than 500000 industrial casualties occur in this country every year which is hugely heavier than the casualties at tho british front in a year of the present war it is maintained that the whole pro blem could be solved without with drawing any more doctors by a reor ganization of the royal army medical corps among the reforms they urge arc substitution of the army for tho division as the medical unit no doctors being thus kept idle be cause their division is not in action adoption of a new system of hospitals at tho front and abolition of field am bulances it is estimated that the latter change alone would save 1500 doctors in an army of 1000000 men relcsao of doctors for home work j when thoro is no work for them to do at the base hospitals under modern conditions it is always known when an attack is imminent and the staff would havo 24 hours to return to their base children and infants whose nasal and mouth secretions are wiped away by mother or nurse the fingers of these persons readily become contaminated the care of other children by persons with contaminated fingers may there fore lead to the conveying of the in fectious microorganism indirectly from tho sick to the healthy this danger also exists in connection with vendors of food which is eaten uncook ed the existence of cases of infan tile paralysis in the homes of vendors of food is therefore a perpetual source of danger dissemination can be made by means of house flies how death is produced the chief terror of the disease lies in its appalling power to produce de formities when death does occur it is not the result as in many infec tions of a process of poisoning that appears to be clear of it and there is robs the patent strength and con no reason to believe that the montreal sciousness before its imminence but utbreak is to be traced to the cases in i is caused solely by paralysis of the i the united states there have been j respiratory function sometimes with no real epidemics of poliomyelitis in i merciful suddenness but often with painful slowness without in any de gree obscuring the consciousness of be- canada though there were several in toronto and vicinity a few years ago and in scores of homes there are chil- suffocating victhn until just drenjvho will never run or walk again as a result of this visitation there is no more dreadful disease known to medical science and perhaps the most terrible thing about it is the fact that it usually selects children as its vic tims although no age is exempt from it complete recoveries are extremely rare almost invariably infantile paralysis leaves some dreadful mark behind it and so far medical science has been unable either to provide a cure or even to understand the- na ture of the deadly organism i foro the end is reached no more ter rible tragedy can be witnessed for some years experiments have been made with a view of producing a curative or preventive serum and some progress has been made with a drug called hexamethylenamin or urotropin which possesses a degree of antiseptic action this drug how ever must be very carefully adminis tered because it is more or less dan too small for microscope that it is indeed an organism a germ was learned only a few years ago the discovery being made almost simultaneously in the united states and france where epidemics had drawn some of the best medical ex perts in the two countries to study the disease dr simon flexner of the rockefeller institute who is a noted authority on tho disease says that it is extremely doubtful if the virus has been seen certainly the germ is ex ceedingly minute the closest ob servers havo been able only to ob serve under the most powerful micro scope little points circular or slightly oval in form and these possibly though not certainly represent the parasite another feature of the virus is its resistance to external agencies it withstands glycerination for months and drying over caustic potash for weeks without any marked reduction of potency more robust than rabies gerous to many of the vital organs of tho body no doubt the present j the term is naturally used of those in the sunday school international lesson july 30 lesson y the word of the cross 1 cor 1 1 to 2 5 golden text gal 6 14 verse 18 them that are perishing us who are being saved margin the text is a most un fortunate mistranslation ignoring the significant greek tenses altogether the new testament represents per dition and salvation as future fully attained only when probation is over except twice where salvation s described as ideally complete by gods grace christians are always being saved traveling on the nar row way that leads to life 19 paul uses isa 29 14 as express ing anil endorsing the thought 20 scribe the jewish scripture scholar disputer of this age mar gin not world as below paul appeals from the fashionable philo sophy of the day to the wisrom of the future which will know 21 in the wisdom of god it is pro videntially ordained that knowledge based only on conceit and arrogance must always fail to gain any true ap prehension of god the law has been illustrated in the history of the church as well as the world jewish theology and greek rhetorical spec ulation failed an everything since that has worked in the same spirit the foolishness of the thing preach ed margin with daring irony paul appropriates the term used by the su perior person they may laugh who win and as paul knows the gospel is gods plan he can afford to repeat with proud satire what clever men choose to say about it tojay the church historian would give a great deal if he could get hold oi those primitive criticisms but they survive only in the quotations of christian writers 22 signs as they did of the mas ter he gave them one but those who ask in such a spirit will not be persuaded though one rise from the dead 23 a messiah crucified margin and therefore accursed gal 3 13 stumbling block the greek word which we have borrowed as scandal more probably means a snare or trap their own obstinate prejudices were the bait and they made gods own means of salvation into a means of destruction like a wild animal pull ing down on him the heavy stone of the trap compare 1 pet 2 8 foolishness we can easily imagine how a cultured greek would scoff at the idea of being saved by a gali- laean carpenter who was not even alive but dead on a malefactors cross of shame 24 called since gods call has two necessary elements gods invitation and mans acceptance the former be ing universal but the latter limited there the spiritual blindness of the philosophers had more than ever dis gusted paul with more human wis dom he the learned and cultured rabbi would be a man of one idea and him not as the wonderful teacher and worker of miracles the winsome example the supreme flow er of humanity but as crucified the cross must come first in every theo logy that is going to save men kitchener and hampshire family came from

stand the virus of infantile paralysis and to develop a serum that will rob it of much of its deadly powers kaiser pensions seven generals a despatch from rotterdam says according to tho berliner tagcblatt the knisor has decided to pension sev en prussian generals five of tho generals namely von bredow von wicnstkowsky glokko cramer and von bcuer will leavo the army whilo generals von kleist and krahmer will be given garrison commands no reasons for the dismissals of tho gen erals have been made public in these respects it is even more robust than the virus of rabies more over it shows no diminution in virulence after having passed through several bodies experiments wado with monkeys showed that the germs after having passed through 25 sep arate series of monkeys were moro powerful if anything than before it is this fact that drove investigators to the conclusion that the virus is a liv ing organism but as stated it is so minuto that it cannot be said with certainty that the germ has ever been seen it passes with great readiness and little or no loss in potency through tho densese and finest porce lain filters when in nqueous suspen sion and on this as on other ac counts is extremely difficult to deal with in laboratory experiments enters through nose dr flexner says tho infectious agent enters the body chiofly if not exclusively through the mucous membranes of tho nose and throat the virus ex ists in tho secretions of the nose and throat and in the intestines hence frozen fish revived problem of shipping them for long distance solved the feat of freezing live fish and reviving them several weeks or months later has been achieved by the swiss scientist m pictat the scientist put twentyeight live fish in a box that contained water rich in oxygen in which several pieces of ice floated the temperature of the water was then reduced slowly until it froze at the end of about two months the cake was gradually thawed and the fish it is said were found alive in such an experiment the scientist re ports it is essential that the water be gradually frozen and that it shall have contained pieces of ice for from fifteen to eighteen hours before the whole mass is frozen the process of thawing must also be slow through this process it is believed that siberian sturgeon and alaskan salmon can be exported alive to distant markets many rubbish heaps serious fires

drastic episodes of the lighting round dead man hill occurred to the west of that position where a french regi ment was face to face with a pom- j erania brigade during the hottest moment a major commanding the third battalion of a french regiment disappeared suddenly they heard a well known voice shouting braveo boys give them beans and the major came in to view his uniform in shreds his face covered with blood and his left arm hanging limp he had been cut off with a handful of men and at their head fought his way thrdjgh the enemy ranks until he was sent to the ground with a terrible blow from a rifle butt which smashed his left shoulder dragging himself on his hands and knees for a mile he had eventually rejoined his men and his first thougrt was to lead them once more into action tho french were successful in driving the germans back but the gallant major received a second dangerous wound so ex cruciating was the pain he suffered while being operated on that to avoid groaning he sang the marseillaise at the top of his voice a few min utes later the general commanding his unit arrived at the hospital and tak ing tho cross of the legion of honor from his own uniform pinned it
