NUT ERE ADS ARE ALWAYS POI'LLAU There must be some magic in- gredient in nuts that enables ther.i to change ordinary and familiar food like bread into something un- usual, interesting, and delightful, or to convert just aii average s:ilad or cake or ice cream into a superior and delicious dish. When the many varletie= o! nut breads are so easy to make, and lend themselves to so many different fonr.s of service, it scenes a pity th'jy are not better known, and serv- ed more oftdn. especially by mothers of younj? families or hostesses who like to entertain. Sliced thinly and spread generous- ly with fresh or salted butter nut breads are perfect accorapanimsnts to fruit salads and to a surprising- ly large number of desserts. For a bridge party they are e.Kcellent. For an afternoon tea, especially if you are expecting several or mor(,' callers, nut breads are ideal for the sand- wiches, because they are much los.s apt to dry out than regular bread.=. For a •'cclTee klatch" ci an eve jing supper they are absolutely perfect. For the youitg folks coming in from swimming, or tennis, or base- b:ill. or hiking, or an evening danc- ing party, nut breads have a huge appeal, with the added advantage of being very good for them. They are always a popular contribution to a surprise party menu at a friend'.-; house. Men seem able to consume large quantitcs of nut breads, so you are always safe in serving them.

Let u.s consider how it functions, and how it is affected by sun, air, water, soap, cosmetics and massage. 1. It regulates body heat and helps to keip it at the constant ten-pcratare of 98.4 degrees. When the temperature rises the skin loses body heat in either of two ways: by perspiration, which in evaporating cools the body; by the blood-vessels in the skin which en- large and send an increa.^ed volume of blocd to the surface, th>re to be cooled and to subtract heat from the rest of the body. 2. It contains the nerve-endings which control the senses of heat, cold, touch and pain. Vvarmth in- creases thoir sensitivity. That is one of the reasons why the ;:urgcon warms Bis hands before ex- amin'ng a patient. 3. It is an impcrtant organ of elimination. Like the kidneys which it relieves, it excretes â€" in the form of perspiration â€" water, salt, and urea. A periodic sweat flushes out the perspiration glands and ensures their healthy functioning. 4. It tran.iform.s the energy of the sun 'nto hunan energy. The sur. s rays cause a subsLanre in the skin tissues to form Vitamin D, and this is vital f.:r the body's functioning in many difterent ways. It helps the bo.iy to de:i' with calciu:n, which is ncccs-'ary for the proper formation of bones and tooth, and tj prevent rickets in children: it also helps the digestive system to absorb from food the iron that is nc'essary to fji";;i the red cells of the blood. ,">. It protects th.? delicate under- lying structures. Fcr the purpose ot protection the skin must be tough yet jjliable. Two Layers The skin has two layers: the upper, the epidermis, which is a horny layer softened by the grease produced by the grease-glands; and the deeper layer which contains grease and perspiration glands, nerve-endings, and so on. The grease is Nature's cold cream; it softens the hi. rny epidermis and makes it pliable as well as strong â€" kss liable to crack. The skin is exposed to irritation by anything v.'hich robs it of grease and leaves it hard and likely to crack. Water and soap can both ^ be irritating b e c a u s e they remove gi'ease. They must be u.sed with greater discretion by the dry-skii.- ned. The skin is more liable to irrita- tion in winter â€" when the grease and perspiiation glands are less active â€" than in summer. The most ccnsitive areas are the face and those parts that are exposed. ^::. Mr. Steplion Lloyd, son of Mr and Mrs. T. Z. Lloyd, of Edgo- baston, Birmingham.

Don't smother the skin with it or you will block up the grease and perspiration giands and pro- duce pimples or blackheads. Never use successive layers of grease, powder and rouge. lise rcuge alcne on the rouge are;i. Use your lipstick for outline rather than for colour. This is from the strictly medical point of view, of course. â-  Fac:al Beauty Facial bc:uUy is the result of good health, the right weight, anil the right mental attitude in persons of good features. The face nnist show a free play of emotions without lingering on the unpleasant emotions; it must be ^x'rtne but not immobile, and not fixed in a spasm of fret, anxieiy, dir.gust suspicious or frown. * * * HOLSSIIOLl) HINTS Ink stains on the lingers will come ofl" easily in 3.;any water if a little vinegar is rubbed on the stains be- fore wnsjiing. New Shoes If the pair of new shoes are put in a warm place for a few minutes hcfcre using them, it will make the Remove Dirt The essence of skin careâ€" so- far as external applications are con- cerne.l â€" is tn remove dirt nnd the grease in which it is eiiiiii'shed, and to apply a little artifr-lal grease when necessary, especially after washing. How is the skin atfccled by var- ious things? The sun in small doses is a tonic and a necessity, because it helps to form Vitan-.in D (in winter, ultra- violet rays once or twice a week are a useful substitute and an excellent preventive of colds); in large doses it irritates and ages the skin. Sail- ors and shepherds, and Europeans living in the tropics, show this chronic skin irritation and prema- ture ageing. Water tones up the blood-vessel-; of the skin. S»vimming is the light- est form of massage; a sun and air liath. followed by a plunge, is an ex- cellent combination. As to cosmetics, apply grca.5C at night and wash it o(T in the morn- leather more pliable. Table Decoration Always keep a small fern growing in a low attractive bowl, and it will serve as a table decoration whcr, there are no cut flowers. tear. Mercerized or cotton thread is much better for this purpose. Cool Food First Only under stress of circumstanc- es should you put any food that i? warm into your refrigerator. Even the left-overs should be allowed to cool first. Ink Stains On Linen.-;, Etc. Rub the stained article in a (juantity of fresh cold miik at once, then rinse in cold water. The stains will disappear like magic but . . . work i'ast. Fish Odor Before handling fish, dampen the hands and then rub them thoroughly with salt. When through ha:idling the fish, wash the hands with soap and there will be no cdor. Mending Kid Gluvcs Do not use silk thread to mend kid gloves, as it has a tendency to Keeping Cornflakes Crisp .As socn as the box of cornflakes has been opened, transfer the con- tents to a tin receptacle with tight- fitting lid. This wiil keep the cor:v flakes nice ami crisp.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time â€" Lydia appears in the New- Testament record in Paul's second misssionary journey, 49 or 50 .\X>'.: Priscilla first appears in the same missionary journey, but about two years later. The Epistle to the Romans was written A.D. GO. Placeâ€" Lydia, though of Thyatira, appears in the New Testament Scriptures at Philippi, the great city of Macedonia in Europe. Priscilla is found variously at Corinth, Ephc.s- us, and at Rome. "Setting sail therefore from Ti'oas, wo made a straight course." This is a nautical term for sailing before the wind, and occurs only once, again in the New Testament (Acts 21 : 1). "To Samothrace." An island in the Egean Sea ofT the coast of Thrace colonized by a man of Samos. "And the day following to Neapolis." The seaport for the city of Philippi from which it was about ton miles dist.Tnt. Paul and his com- panions apparently did not tarry here. ".-\nd from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony." Philippi was originally named Da- tum, but was renameii Philippi by â-º-'liilip of Macedon after himself. I ".-Vnd we were in this city tarry- ing certain days." Paul arrived in Philippi about twenty years after the foundation of the church at 'he church at Jerusalem after the ?tntecostal effusion. â- '.•\nd on the Sabbath day we went :'j'th without the gate by a river s'dc. where we supposed there was a place of prayer." The Jcsvs had commonly places of prayer in towns where they were not allowed to have synagogues, where they were few in number. These were enclosures open to tlie sky, and usually near a river or on the seashore for the cevemonia! washinrrs. ".-Vnd we sat dov.n. and spuke untii the wotnen that were come together.'' It is evi- dent that the women of Philippi oc- cupied a position of considerable freedom and social influence. ".-\nd a certain woman named Lydia. a seller of purple." Strictly speaking, she was prohabl- a scilcr of purple clot^i. rather than the dey itself. "Of llie c;ty of Thyallru.

The use 01 the Greek imperfect, moaning, ii. effect, slie was in the habit of hear- ing him, would lead us to suppose that l!;e .Apostle repeated his visits on several SaUbatlis. "Whose hearl the Lord openeci to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul." Paul's preaching could not effect her regciieration. The externa, call never accomplishes that, unles.- the internal call to repentance pre- cedes, and unless it accompanies the Word. ".Vnd when slie was baptized, and her household, she besought us. say- ing. If ye have judged me to be faitiiful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. .And she ton- strained us.'' The Greek word here tr;inslated constrained occurs in only one other place, and that, most significantly, about the journey 0:" the disciples to Kmniaus tLuke 21 : 2'Jl. ".Vft-jr these things he lieparte.i from .Athens, and came to Corinth." -A distance of about forty miles. Corin'.h, located in the center ol' what is now known as Greece on the famous isthmus of Corinth, and, in the days of the .Apostle Paul, the capital of the Roman province .Vchaia, was the center of govern- ment and commerce for Greece and the fourth hirgest city in the Roman Empire. ".\ml he found ;i certain Jew named .Aquila, a man of Pontus by race." Pontus was an important province in the northeastern part of Asia Minor, lying along the south- ern shore of the Black Sea. "Lately come from Italy, with his wife Pris- cilla, because Claudius had com- mandeil ail the Jews to depart from Rome." Priscilla, apparently, was not a .Jew. and many scholars be- lieve that her name would indicate she was a member of an important, even noble Roman family. Now .\quila, the Jew from Pontus, ever came to know and to fall- in love with this Roman lady is a love story that taxes our imagination. Pos- sibly the two were thrown together by similar religious experiences or hopes, though of this we have no knowledge. ".And he came unto them; 3. and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tent-makers." It is often said that Paul, together with these new- ly found friends wove the rough goat-hair cloth out of which tents were made, but that is not the word here, and it is most probable that their occupation was that of making up the material already woven, cut- ting out and stitching the tent» themselves. "This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fer- vent in jpirit. he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John." He had been instructed in Messianic prophecy and purpose. In obedience to John, he had been bap- tized unto repentance and to expect- ation of the coming of the Messiah, but he did not know the meaning of the cross. him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurate- ly." It would have been no easy task to take in hand a man of Apol- los's intellectual attainments and in- dependence of character, and lead hi;n on to the views most generally held among the Christians, but Pris- cilla and Aquiia undertook this dif- ficult task and succeeded in it. "For he powerfully confuted tha Jews, and that pubiiciy, showing by tbe scriptures that Jesus was the Christ." It is net said that .4.pollos .convinced the Jews of the truths he preached, but only that he confuted viicm, literally, he argued them down; bi't to confute is not necessarily to confuse. This he did possibiy in the synagogue.
