Q. Can you tell me how to plan
tasty dishes for a member of my fam
lily who is not allowed to eat very
sweet desserts, just things with lit
tie sugar? He is fond of sweets and
! am having a hard time making him
contented.-Mrs. T. w. A.
A. Unless there is special rea-
son against 1t, fruit should be your
main dependence. Serve 1t raw or
cooked. Then try cream or cottage
cheese combined with tart jellies. and
served on dainty waters. Sherbets
are another suggestion, just plain
water ices. also. since, If you flavor
them with fruit juices, the sugar may
be reduced to minimum. Still an
other light dessert is fruit salad.
Q. Please tell me something about
grapefruit, it's origin and food value.
Is 1t good for children?-Mrs. G. c.
A. The real name of grapefruit is

The Ten Commandments.

The ten commdndmentS.-Ex. "a :2S.
Whereunto shall we liken the ten
commandments, and to what shall we
compare the laws revealed upon
Mount Sinai?
They are fruits borne by the tree
of wisdom, wherein the seed OF har-
vest to come is hidden,
They are jewels in the crust OF
earth, wherein the teachings OF life
are made clear as crystal.
Wherefore it is said that God wrote
them upon the rocks, because they be-
long to the foundations;
And He gave them to Israel. be-
cause they were his people chosen to
enlighten all nations.
Yet he hath broken and scattered
Israel, and the tables of stone laid up
in the ark have vanished.
But the fruitfulness of their wis
dom is not lost. neither have the jew
els Of their Righteousness been dark
ened.
For in them we see clearly what is
good for man to do. and what things
hinder him in the upward way of liv-
ing.
Wherefore Christ hath put his seal
upon the ten commandments, because
their meaning is love to God and our
neighbor.

trunk is short and thick and the
branches long and de-spreading,

attractiveness.
The leaves are twice compound
ptnnate, eight to sixteen inches long
with twelve to twenty-four pinnal
which are about four inches long,
terminated by spine-like projection
On each pinnal are twenty-five to
thirty-tive pairs of small, oblong leaf

wins most of our admiration. They
are pale pink, feathery, in snowy
panicles of compact heads about two
inches in diameter The fruits are
fat. straw-colored pods about five
inches long.
