 Corrigan's dream country was e vast romantic orient converted from the unhealthy zone 1t actually Is to what 1t Is popularly believed to be- by careful preservation of the spices and an utter elimination of the smells! To drain the swamp hot.beds of malaria and drive all that is venomous far beyond strik- ing distance of the white community. Utopian, perhaps! but Corrigan within a short while had achieved much, so much fin fact that his suc- cesses lent him encouragement to carry on.
 A broadminded, broadfsted social reformer this Corrigan! with a keen sence of mans duty toward his ncighbor and an undying enmity toward those whose sole aim in life appeared to be to oppress others. Corrigan, his great showed backed topee cooked to one side. coming over the brow of the hill on his stout Bajau ppny, was a sight for the gods.

Brealfast-Orange juice, cereal, thin cream, creamed potatoes, meat cakes, cornmeal mullins. marmalade, milk, coffee.
 Luncheon-Russian soup, toast sticks, rice soufle. milk tea.
 Dinner-Conhomme, stuffed hali- but steaks, scalloped potatoes, can ned string beans. harlequin salad, graham bread. mince pie for adults, sponge rake and canned peaches for children. milk, coffee.
 The harlequin salad is nothing more or less than all sorts of vege- tables combined with a piquant boiled dressing. Two or three table spoons of this and one or two of that a judicious use of onion and fresh celery. 6 dash of paprika and a springing of nuts on crisp lettuce, and behold, a salad! Carrots. peas and potato combine well for one foundation. String beans, beets, cauif1ower and no onion afford different salad. Brussels Sprouts, carrots and celery mako another choice.
 Russian Soup
 Three cups beef stock, cups diced beets, 1-2 cup heavy cream, teaspoon salt, few drops lemon juice,
 The beef stock can be made from soup bone. the bone and scraps left from the beef roast or from bouillon cubes If made with bone or left-overs, strain and remove fat from stock before using. Pare beets and cut in half-ince dice. Cook in the stock until tender. Skim out about half of the beets and cover with vinegar or save to use in an orange sauce or q salad in some other meal. Season with salt and a little white pepper. Heat cream over hot water and stir into hot soup. Do not let boil after adding cream. Add a few drops Of lemon juice and serve at once.
 If bouillon cubes arc used, less salt will be necessary. This makes s lovely pink-colored soup that is worth keeping in mind for the color scheme in a luncheon. The soup is too heavy to serve at a dinner. Aside from the attractivcness of 1 this concoction, if is nourishing. making an excellent luncheon soup for children.

that kept them moving from place
to place. Medical missions have
played an important part in winning
the heather for the Lord. The
lancet opened China for the gospel.
The modern medical missionary lacks
the point of contact that the syna-
gogue gave to Jesus. Medical mis-
sions and social service probably ap-
peal more to men than preaching, but
we have it on the authority of the
Master that preaching should always
be given the first place. Healing
men of their physical troubles opens
the door to their hearts for the pres
entation of the gospel.
During this tour stricken leper
approached Jesus. He would have fled
from a rabbi, but the bearing and
speech of the Master disarmed ali

Jewish laws. The disease was feared
because its subtle, insidious start in
the blood could not be detected until,
working out, it's scales appeared on
the skin. That meant the mans
doom, as it shut him out or society.

decayed and fell away. 1t was due
to its destructive nature that it was
