TROUBLED IN
MIND

N interesting and striking
"A tribute to the truth Of Chris.
tianity is the Noft-remarked fact
that those who reject Christianity
cannot leave it alone.
One would think that IL a
man were fully convinced that
the Bible IL a pack OF myths and
Inaccuracies and that the claims
Of Christ are preposterous, he
would leave the Bible andd Christ
strictly alone, even when, like
Edgar Lee Masters, on the search
for a new religion. But this they
cannot do. They must talk and
write about 1t, not to other fellow
unbelievers, but to those who be-
lieve! have always thought
that this IL due to the workings
Of congcience.'
They are kicking against the
pricks and their angry assaults
only serve to show that they are
being pricked in their hearts by
the Gospel they reject. Mr.. Mas
tiers realizes this, for he says. II
am writing about this as II It
bothered me, which it doesn't
and it never did" Yet every
word he has written reveals the
fact that Christ and the claims Of
the Gospel do trouble him.

HOW TO COOK
VEGETABLES

ESVEN If we keep all the health
Ia rules and eat our two vegeta'
bles other than potatoes each day,
the chances are all too strong
that we haven't eaten the thing
we thought we were eating. Much
of the health value Of vegetables
is cooked out of them by long
cooking-by cooking in too much
water and by throwing away the
water. Cooking vegetables whole
rather than in too small pieces
also helps to keep the minerals
in them. Even the way they are
sliced has an effect on the losses
they meet with In the kettle; the
long slit slice being better than
the straight cross cut.
According to the experiments
thus far made these are the d.
rections to be followed:
Cook string beans, cut slanting
wise, in enough water to cover
them, in an open kettle for 80
minutes.
Cook green peas In a small

Cook cabbage quaPtered in a

to one-fourth pound of cabbage,

kettle.
Cook spinach whole in only the
water than clings to it in an un-
covered kettle for s to 10 minutes.
Cook onions whole In q large
amount of water, uncovered, for
rs minutes. And If you don't
want them to smell cook a crust
OF bread with them.)
Cook carrots whole or cut
lengthwise in a moderate amount
OF water, covered or uncovered,
for 30 minutes.
And IL you must boil potatoes

This wierd inning was ended by a

in the last inning with two men
