Hence the leader should prepare
carefully. The hymns can be select
ed; one person can be asked to pray
for the sick, another for the absent,
and SO on. Attention to details helps
immensely. But especially should the
leader wait upon God in prayer until
his heart burns with love, and his soul
of the Holy Spirit. If athletes train
for boat race or a ball game, simply
to secure the applause Of people. sure.
ly the Christian can afford to train for
a spiritual conflict where all the forces
of heaven and hell are arrayed against
each other, where eternal destinies are
at stake, and where every part of the
service Is watched with keenest So
licitude by so great cloud of wit
uesses"
Not only the leader, but all the mem
bers should prepare. Let them read.
think and pray over the subject Let
them deny themselves daily, for a
cody life is the best preparation for
an ideal meeting. Let them gather up
spiritual strength all the week and
concentrate it upon this service, max
ing it the supreme hour of the week
the hour
When heaven comes down our souls to
greet.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS If BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels. get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
In the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act line.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia'
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid.

plications.

French Cream Candy.

Mix the whites of two eggs and half
as much water, but do not beat. Stir
in powdered or confectioner's sugar
until stiff enough to handle. Use any
preferred flavoring- lemon or
rose-or half of lemon and vanilla is
nice. Break off pieces, roll in small
balls. and press half an English wal
nut meat on each side.
This cream may be used for a great
variety of candies, by mixing with
chopped nuts or candied fruits, rails
ms, figs or dates, and by using strong
black coffee instead Of water for a
maple taste and cream color, or
chocolate may be used, or half choco-
late and half coffee, favored with va
nilla, produces very agreeable taste.

MAKING MEAT TENDER
HOW THE lNEXP ENSiVE CUTS
MAY BE EMPLOYED.
Pounding Flour Into Them Is Recon-
merded as One Method-ChoPping
Fine Is Another Excellent Way
of improving Them.

When the housekeeper attempts to
reduce her meat bill by using the less
expensive cuts she has two difficulties
to contend with-toughness and lack
Of flavor Pounding meat before cook
ing is an old-fashioned method Of max
ing it tender, but while this process
breaks down the tough tissues it also
releases the juices, driving them out,
and with them the flavor. A good way
is to pound flour into the meat. This
catches and holds the juices.
A very palatable and economical
dish can be made from round steak
as follows: Pound -four into both sides
of the steak, as much as the meat will
take up. Fry in drippings or other fat
in an ordinary pan of kettle, then add
water to cover it. Cover the vessel
tightly, so that no steam can escape
and allow the meat to simmer very
gently for two hours. It is then ready
to serve, the gravy being already
thickened by the flour beaten into the
steak. This gravy is delicious and far
superior to the kind made in the Or
binary way after the meat is cooked
Another very tasty dish is Spanish
beefsteak. Take g piece of round
steak weighing two pounds and about
an inch thick. Pound until thin, sea-
son with salt and cayenne pepper,
cover with a layer of bacon or salt
pork sliced, roll and tie with a cord.
place in a covered baking dish. Pour
around it half cupful each of milk
and water. Cook two hours, basting
occasionally.
Chopping meat is one of the princi-
pal methods of making tough and in
expensive meat tender. Chopped
meats have another advantage. in that
they may be cooked quickly and eco
nomically. Chopped raw meat of al
most any kind can be very quickly
made into savory dish by cooking
it with water or with water and milk
for a short time, then thickening with
butter and flour, and adding different
seasoning as preferred, either pepper
and salt alone or onion juice, celery,
or tomato. Such dish may be made
to go further by serving it on slices
of toast or surrounded by wall Of
rice or macaroni.
In broiling chopped meat success.
fully the point is to scar the surface
very quickly so that the juices may
be kept in, and then to allow the
heat to penetrate to the inside until
the whole mass is cooked to the taste
of the family. To begin with, the
broiler should be well creased. 9th
erwise the cakes or balls may be
broken when removing them from the
broiler They should be heated on
both sides more quickly than steak,
because the chopping has allowed the
juice to escape and the openings
should be sealed as quickly as posi-
BILE.
Hamburg steak is made from mex
pensive bits of beef chopped, seasoned
little, and shaped into fiat cakes or
steaks. If possible the chopping
should be done at home, so that the
meat may be cooked at once. Some
housekeepers think Hamburg steak is
improved by mixing the meat with
little milk before cooling.

FOODS FOR THE CHILDREN
PaIatabIe and Nourishins and So Many
That Constant Variety Is
Made Possible.

Many children do not know the taste
of meat up to the seventh year, but if
child is anemic, a tender, juicy chop,
cooked slowly. but not too well done,
or piece of roast mutton or beef may
be given once day, at breakfast or
noon, but never at night. Never give
pork, veal or fried food
Among vegetables, spinach, carrots.
onions and baked potatoes are best.
Salads with mayonnaise dressing are
excellent for children, but they sell
dom care for them, except lettuce
sandwiches, made of buttered whole
wheat bread with young leaves of let
tuce between, sprinkled with salt.
Cooked fruit is good for young chill
dren. The best way to cook is to put
it in the double boiler with half
and let cook until soft, then add the
sugar at the table as required Many
fruits are sweet enough in their cooked
form little cornstarch will make
the juice appetizing, thick and rich.
Apples, pears, peaches and bananas
role, only little water being added
and the casserole covered.
Cereals, properly cooked, mixed with
dates or figs, are excellent, accompa-
MED by rich milk or half milk and half
cream. An ideal breakfast for a child
of six consists of either stewed fruit
or small glassful of orange juice,
well-cooked cereal, slices of whole
wheat or Boston brown bread. or toast,
and a glass of milk.
Among cakes. gingerbread, ginger
cookies, raisin cookies and patty cakes
can be eaten
Chicken, roasted or broiled, is also
suitable for children, together with
rice. The rice should be well boiled in
sailed water, or in half milk and half
water, in a double boiler, or it may
be made into creamy rice pudding,
the proportions being tablespoonful
of well-washed rice to quart of milk
and two tablespoonfuls of sugar Bake
slowly for two hours.
