STRAWBERRIES Most things that are good for us to eat gives us all a chance to grumble but in the luscious strawberry we have something good for us and we can utter words of praise at the same time. High in Vitamin C Mothers will be especially interest- ed to know that the C vitamin rates about as high in berries as it does in oranges. However, vitamins A and B are growing and building sub- stances, are lower in berries than in the citrus friut. The strawberry hold only half the A value and one third the B value of the orange. There is good reason to believe that berries actually help the body to make use of other elements in the diet. Thus they are not only valuable in themselves, but increase the value of accompanying foods in daily use- If you want to use strawberries as a substitute for oranges, remember their deficiences and be sure that the berries are iterfectly ripe and do not deluge them with sugar. Re- member too that oranges have been found to be efficient in reducing body acidity while strawberries have out been proved on this i)oint. Air Kill* Vitamin* Canned strawberries are so widely used that they also have come under the experimenter's eye. Scientific re- search has discovered that commer- cially canned and home canned ber- VaaUCstsh ETAOl SHRLUETAOI I ries put up by the hot pack and pres- S4tre me hid lose prac\-ally no vita- min C content because this vitamin is destroyed primarily by air. Heat has tens the destruction when air is pre sent, but in the absence of air haa little effect. This xplains why berries canned by processes which exclude air retain vitamin C. The woman who lives in a small town or in a community easily ac- cessible to berry markets will find it profitable to do her own canning. The hot water bath, steam pressure cooker and heat controlled oven all represent satisfactory equipment, for home canning. But if a high price must be paid for fresh berries, plus labor, fuel and equipment, it may be found more economical to invest in the commercially canned product when the fruit is wanted in the winter. Canned Strawberries The particular feature of berries canned according to this recipe is that they will not rise to the top o' the jar after they are canned. Wash, hull and pick over the ripe berries. Allow one quart box of ber- ries for each pint jar. Add 1 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons water to each quart of berries. Bring them slowly to the boiling point. Simmer, but do not boil for ten minutes, remove from fire, cover and let stand for several hours or over night. Then pour into sterilized jars, partly seal the jars, and sterilize in hot water bath for 12 minutes. Seal, cool and store in a dark place. If strawber- ries or other delicate berries are stored in the pantry or other places where ^he daylight or the sunlight reaches them, they will lose their col- or and become straw-colored. Strawberry Jam Pick over, wash drain and hull the strawberries. Mash a few in the bot- tom of a preserving kettle using a wooden potato masher and so continue until all the fruit is used. Heat slowly to boiling point and add gradually an equal quantity of heated sugar. (Heat sugar in oven). Cook slowly 45 minutes, or until thick. Bottle and seal. Gooseberries and bti awberries Three pound's gooseterriej, two pounds strawberries. Pick over the gooseberries and re- move stems and tails. Wash, then hull the strawberries. Put berries in a saucepan and crush them with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Heat slowly '0 the boiling point, then boil five minutes. Measure, add an equal measure of sugar and boil rapidly for 20 n'inutes or until the mixture jells from the edge of the spoon. Pour at once into small sterilized jars and seal witli melted paraffin Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb, 2 pounds of strawberries, 2 pounds of granulated sugar- Wash and skin rhubarb. Wash and hull berries. Put the rhubarb through the food chopper catching the juice that drips from the crank case. Combine rhubarb juice and su- gar. .\d.l berries and let stand until sugar is dissolved. Add berries and let stand until the sugar is dissilved Put over a low fire and bring to the Canack's Prime Minister Honored Canada's Prime Minister, seen at right, was given the Honorary degree of doctor of Laws of Rensselaer Polytechnic In.-ititute, Troy, N.Y., last week-end, he is shown here chatting with Pi'lmer C. Rick- etta. President of the Institute. boiling point. Stir frequently to pre- vent sticking and to crush the fruit. Cook until a spoonful tried on a cold , plate je'lies. Turn into sterilized jel- ly glas.sos and cover with paraffin when cold. Strawberry Fluff Use one egg white, 1 cup hulled strawberries, 1 cup powdered sugar. Cut strawberries in quarters and put all ingredients into a mixing bowl Beat with a rotary beater for about 20 minutes. The mixture will ex- pand and become exceedingly light an fluffy. Pile into sherbert^ cups or par- fait glasses and cHill thorougihly. Serve with cake or cookies or with a garnish of whipped cream. Old-Faihioned Shortcake One quart strawberries, three quar- ters cup granulated sugar, one and one half cups flour, three teaspoons of baking powder, one half teaspoons salt, 4 tablespoons butter or some o- ther shortening and butter mi.xed, one half cup milk or water (about.) Wash and hull berries and cut in quarters. Sprinkle with sugar and let stand in a warm place while mix- ing and baking shortcake. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Work in shortening with pastry blen- der or two knives. With a knife cut in liquid and make soft dough. Div- ide dough in halves and roll one half on a floured moulding board to fit baking pan. Oil and flour pan and put in dough. Spread generously with oftened butter and cover with remain- ing dough which has been rolled to fit lower section. Bake in a hot oven 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes. When ready to serve split .the sections ap- art. Spread lower section with butter and cover with thick layers of Juice and berries. Cover with top section and add more berries. This may be topped with a slightly sweetened whipped cream and garnished with perfect whole berries. Serve with plain cream. Individual Caket Instead of making one large short- cake the dough may be cut in rounds to make individual cakes. These are split and served like the large one- If you like to serve your dessert from the kitchen the individual shortcakes are nice, but the one large cake makes a very handsome dish for the hostess to SCI .-e at the table or Tor the miid to pass to each one to help himself. Graham crackers .ir bread and but- ter make excellent foundations for shortcakes for children. Simply place the prepared fruit between layers of graham crackers or bread and butter and serve with plain cream or top milk. Strawberry Ice Cream One quart box strawberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons icing sugar, 2 cups whipping cream, 1-2 cup single cream. 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt.

Fill the cases about three parts full with the fol- lowing: â€" Cream one half cup of su- gar and one half cup of butter, add 2 eggs well beaten, about three table- spoons milk, a small teaspoon baking powder and any flavouring desired. Twist a little strip of paste on the top and bake quickly. Time about 15 minutes. There are many varieties of cheese cakes, but rarely the kind from which the name originated â€" tliat is, the curd got during the process of cheesemaking.

He in called 'the TlaUbite' perhaps because he was born in the Galilee town of Ti.shbeh. Who was of the sojourners of Gilead. The implication la that I'^lijah bad moved (rom Galilee across -lii^ lake into Gilead. "Said unto Ahab. He appears mys- teriously on the scene, as he is to disappear as suddenly and mysteri- ously at the end of his career. He was as swift as a stroke of light- ning. "As Jehovah, the God of Israel liveth. Thesp words are Elijah's life message. "Before whom I sand, Eli- jah felt himself to be always before God's throne, as one of his officers, ready to go on any errand. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. Not Eli- jah's word, but God's word through Elijah. Dew is mentioned first, as the most important; vegetation can live so long as it is fed by the dew. "And the word of Jehovah came unto him. We are not told what waa the effect of Elijah's prophecy, or whether any effort was made to de- tain the bold speaker. He disappeared from the court as suddenly as he had appeared. 'Saying. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward. He was to go back to his own forestland of Gilead, where be would be safe from pursuit and capture. And hide thyself by the brook Cheritb. The name of this brook means 'cut' or gorge. An ideal place of concealment. That Is before the Jordan. That is, east of the Jordan,, before one enters Pales- tine proper. "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook. Here is a prom- ise of water, but not of an enduring -supply, for the brook later dried up (verse 7). And I hav^ commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 'The translation ravens is not unsuitable; ravens were well-known inhabitants of ravines, and tUey were regarded as fed by God." "So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah. Elijah was one of the most forceful and original men that ever lived, but he merged his personality in glad obedience to God. For he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, Uiat is before the Jordan. Elijah might have known a dozen places where he would have preferred to live, but he knew that God knew best. "And the ravens bronglit him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening. Relief came to this prophet with the most unex- pected, and with seemingly impos- sible, conveyance. "And he drank of the brook. The brook said to Elijah, God always takes care of me. I never worry. I never wonder where the water is coming from. "And it came to pass iUter a while, that the brook dried up. because there was no rain in the land. The broolt failed Elijah, hut God had not failed him. "And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done. The weak king had seen the great miracle on top of Mt. Carmel, and had evidently been moved l)y it. so that he obeyed Elijah's com- mands without objection. 'And withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Perhaps .\hab expect- ed Jezebel to be as amazed as he had been at the power of God exhibited through the prophet: but if so. he w;i.s disappointed- "Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah. She might have bi Idcu the prophet come to her, but she probably doubted that he would come. "Saying so let the gods do to me, and more also. This vague imprecation is a standing formula frequently found in the Old Testament. Here i' means: 'May ray gods do to me what you have done to my prophets. "If I make not thy life as the lite of one ot them Ij.v tomorrow ibout this lime. P^r hapd Jezebel actually intended tc kill Elijah; but if so, she would nol have warned him but would hare seal assassins. And when he saw that. The pro phet seems to have ri»"koiied on .Abab's complaisance cxteudius t( Jezebel, or he had left the (jueeu oui of account altogether. Nmv ha aa« that his tight against idoiairv was still far from won. 'He arose, and went foi his life. He was worn out by bii stupendous effort on Mt.

"And left hia serant thert Soma have conjectured that this sei vaut waa left in Beersheba becauat he waa not strong enough f-jr thi wilderness journey. "But he himself went a day's journ ey into the wilderness. The hardj prophet would easily be nb'e to wall and run twenty miles a day, or n,ora and kee,) it up. "And cair.e and sa down under a juniper-tree, (a speclei of broom, whi( h is the finest and moa striking ahrub of the Arabian desert '.And he requested for himse.f that h, might die. He does not commit sul tide; nay! how could he? Was ha noi the servants of (kd ' A-c said, "it ii enough. How often we also think that our lives are long enough. "Xow, O Jehovah, take away tnj life. It is natures capable of great ex altation, that can, like Elijah, climfe the heights of Carmel. which are most in danger of creeping under the jun iper-tree when the reaction sets in. â- .\nd he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree. Sleep waa the best medicine for his perturbed soul as well for his weary bi.-.y. "And, be- liold, au angel touched him. Angela are spiritual beings a little higher than man "And said Ci'^ h.m. Arise and eat. Eating is moat helpful, not only when physical powers are ex- hausted, but when the spirit flags. ".And he looked, and, behold. Sur- prise is expressed at the sight of a meal provided out of the unseen, there in the solitary desert. There waa at his head. Where the savor of it would reach him at once. A cake baked on the coals. Xi -r.: nixed '' i'>.h water, and baked on stones made red hot by the burning of wood over them. And a cruse of water. The water, in that dry laud without rivers or springs, would be as much a mir- acle as the cake. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. The medicine of the sleep and food had not yet completed their restorative work. "And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time. God will send his messengers of cheer and strength as often as his weary children need them. -And touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey la too great for thee. The distance from Beersheba to Horeb (Sinai) is about two hundred miles. "And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength ol that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. He would not have required forty days to travel there, it the intention of God had been nothing more than to cause him to reaoh the mountain. But in the strength of the food provided by the angel Elijah wa; not only to per- form the journey to Horeb. but la wander in the desert for forty days a? Moses liad formerly wandered with all Israel for forty ye^rs. that he might know that the Lord was still the same Goil who had nourished and .sustained his whole nation in the desert."
