womans world by mair m morgan three layers to success cooks of long ago didnt worry about accuracy they couldnt have stood in a witness box and told the whole truth and nothing but the truth about their recipes because they didnt know it they cheerfully said two cups of hour and forgot that no other kitchen used exactly the same cup for measuring and that other cooks used different kinds of

is nice to know that you may have an in expensive yet tender cut of fresh lamb for the dinner in this respect lamb is a most accommodating meat- and any cut no matter how little it costs may be prepared in a vari ety of appetizing ways it is true that seme cuts of iamb are higher in price than others which is partly due to the greater demand for these cuts therefore if you are interested in saving on the family budget it is wise to se lect the lessdemanded cuts of iamb you are sacrificing nothing in flavor tenderness or nutritive value you are merely taking advantage of your knowledge of lamb possibilities over the hitandmiss shopper who thinks of fresh lamb only in terms of leg and loin and your reward will be an appreciable saving in dol lars and cents most of the forequarter cuts of fresh lamb belong to the economical group shoulder breast shanks neck as well as trimmings suitable for stews and ground meat dishes the neck is a cut rich in meat extractives which give meat its

said futo him lord teach us to pray they had no doubt entered into a life or prayer at the beginning of their fellowship with jesus wth great earnestness and perhaps with faith- fu regularity but as persecution and miunderstanding arose as the first thrill of their discipleship passed and the burdens of their ministry be came heavier their prayer life may easily have become mechanical and he said unto them the fol lowing prayer has been divided into two parts the first has been called the purposes of god the second has been called the pilgrimage of man when ye pray say father in the old

includes more than that of the one in matthew where interpreting literally the petition is for bread for the coming day in luke the petition might be para phrased continually give us day by day our bread for the coming day and forgive us our sins for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us some one says that is not tiie ground of grace and that does not belong to us let it be remembered iliat jesus did not gke that prayer to men outside the king dom lie gave that to men inside the kingdom if 1 go to a man outside steeped in sin i do not say if you promise to forgive you will be for given the man outside gets his for giveness with no condition when ho prays but once he is in the kingdom he does not get forgiveness unless he is ready to forgive unless he has for given

find their chance of a lifetime through noth ing but careful reading and inter pretation of the news published in j the best of our large metropolitan papers and useful information may j be found in

behind the news equally important if he seeks a career in fields which seem over crowded let the news warn him against making the heartbreaking mistake of following through where he hasnt a chance and how can young people make the most of the news dr pitkin summarizes as follows 1 by genuinely reading the daily papers just for a change we have too many young comicstrip artists and too few thorough newspaper readers 2 by subscribing to a topnotcli metropolitan paper 3 by reading local papers from many parts of the country when pos sible dozens of them are usually on lije in public libraries 4 by
