 Plenty of milk, fish liver oils and direct sunshine on their bod ies and there need be little worry about infantile rickets.

Chicago Pastor Proposes
Plan of Fixing Salary on
Living Cost Basis.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 2-An adapta-
ton of the ancient Biblical custom of
tithing-but with a view to making
more facile, not more onerous, the
financial burden on church members
is succeeding as an ti-depreSsion
stratagem in one of Chicago's most in
fuential churches.
Since July, 1882, the United Church
of Hyde Park, a Congregational-P -Presby-
terian unit, has adjusted the salary of
its pastor, Rev. DR.. Douglas Horton, to
conform with huctuating costs of liv-
ing, with corresponding elasticity in
expected return on members pledge
cards.
The plan, worked out by Dr. Horton
and the church trustees (at the for
merS suggestion), was proposed by the
pastor as an experiment, which might
point the way to complete readjuSt-
ment of the financial relationship be-
tween churches and their pastors
Index figures employed in fixing DR..
Horizons stipend are the value of his
salary as of January. 1881, when he ac-
cepted the pastorate, compared to liv-
ing costs of that date. In June, 1882,
when he proposed the plan, living costs

going down.
Fairness to two partieS-first, the CIV
ers who contribute to the minister's SAL
sry, and second, the minister. who
must live on twas the principle ex-
pounded by DR.. Horton in outlining his
plan to the church trustees.
He reasoned that If ones gift to the
church bore a fixed or graduated ratio
to his income. it would not become bur-
densome as the income diminishes.
This form of giving" he says. sis a
broadening of tithing, bur in this in
stance the contribution is not fixed at
a tenth. Each man would fix it for
himself according to his cWn conscien-
tious interest in the church
On the other side he pointed out
that minister should have no desire to
profiteer by the descent in living costs,
but that he should be able to live de-
Gently according to the standards of his
congregation.

Here is q marvellous new way Of "creaming" vegetables. The trick is in allowing a cup of water 10 remain with the vegetables, after they have been cooked. Then but ter is put in, and flour is sprinkled on top. Next the ingredients are stirred and undiluted evaporated milk is added. Prestoi You have Q perfect ''creamy" mixture. n
 Every quality of good white sauce is obtained by this method. And 1t is really in line with the old white sauce preparation rules. Further, tho recipe demonstrates the consistency achieving" advan- tage of undiluted evaporated milk

 Boil carrots and celery, briskly until tender, in water to which salt has been added. About 1 cup liquid should remain at end of boiling. Add butter, sprinkle flour over veg. etables, stir (wlth fork to prevent mashing vegetables) until smooths and add milk. Continue cooking until thickened. stirring occasion- ally to prevent scorching. Yields | servings.

Stories, episodes and anscdotes about the life and times of George washington have inspired most the foods we serve on his birthday. February 22nd. For instance. the one about Washington Pie. Have you heard 1t?
 It seems that a man once ate Washington Pie at q friends house and enjoyed the creamy yellow cake so much that he hastened to order it the next time he visited Il restaurant. When the Washing ton Pie arrived however, he was dismayed to find that instead of the fluffy yellow dish he had ex- pected a dark and moist chunk of brown cake was his portion.

O Indicates recipe given below

Cherry Cluster Salad--Combinc 1-2 cup chopped nutmeats and 1-2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing. Arrange cups of lettuce and in each place a spoonful of nuts and dressing. Drain the juice from 6 halves canned peach, drying thor oughly with a soft linen towel. Cream one package Philadelphia cream cheese and spread or frost tho rounding side of the peaches. Cover the cheese completely, using cherries that have been cut in half and stoned. The effect is that of cluster of cherries. Place the peaches over the mayonnaise and nuts on the leaf of lettuce to pro- duce most appropriate as well as delightful party salad.

Drop by table spoonfuls on sheet of waxed paper on a baking pan, and bake in slow even (about 275 degrees K) until delicatcly brown and crisp. This will take from 40 to 50 min utes, depending on the size of the meringues. When baked, take from oven and lift from the paper at once. Fill one meringue, when cool, with ice cream, cover with a sec ond one to form dessert that somewhat resembles a round ball. A little of the ice cream should show between the halves.
