THE LILIES GROW
Evangelis. and Mrs. John Moses

Baltimore, Maryland

The lilies grow and leave it 70 Him;
They neither toll nor do they spin.
In all you say, in all you do,
Let your trust be in God, He will
carry you through.
Leave it to Him, the roses do;
In the early morn, when the skies are
blue,
Scatter their fragrance on the air;
Gods presence and love. are every
where.
Leave it to Him when tempted and
tried;
Remember on Calvary's Cross He
To save your soul and set you free.
Trust God and remember He cares
for thee.
Leave it to Him when the shadows
fsll.

Corn At
. All Seasons

BECAUSE the frost is on the
n pumpkin and the corn Is in
the shock is no good reason
why we shouldn't go right on eat
ing corn-ripe whole kernels of
corn fresh from the cob, or, II our
delicatessen dealer carries large
assortment of canned foods, we
can even continue to eat corn on
the cob!
It is a boon to be able to have
canned corn at all seasons, be-
cause it is particularly In the
winter that we need the energy
and vitality which corn affords.
Know a variety Of ways to serve
corn. Here are some tested re.
cipes.
For Cool Days
Cream of Corn and Mushroom
Soup: Cook the following ingredi-
ents in double boiler for fifteen
minutes: the contents of one H.
ounce can Of corn, three cups
milk, one large onion sliced, one
small stalk celery and one bay
leaf. Strain. Use the contents
of one 4-ounce can of mushrooms,
cutting the mushrooms fine and
sauteing in two tablespoons but
ter for three minutes. Add two
tablespoons -four and stir smooth.
Then add the mushroom liquor
slowly, stirring until thick and
creamy. Add to the hot milk
mixture and cook again until
smooth and creamy. Season to
taste with salt and pepper and
add one-half cup cream. This
fills six cups.
ScaIloped Corn and Veal: Mash
the contents of a 7-ounce can Of
veal loaf. Put a layer Of cream
style canned corn in a baking
dish, then a layer Of veal loaf,
then a layer Of bread crumbs
with dots of butter and sprink-
ling Of salt and pepper. Repeat
until all is used up (using one
and one-half cups canned corn,
and one-half cup bread crumbs)
having corn, crumbs and butter
on the top. Pour in one-fourth
cup milk and bake for thirty
minutes in a moderate oven, 375
degrees. This serves four persons

Predominate among the thou

looks like a cross between a gull

that OF the latter. 1t lays its eggs

DEFENSIVE SIGNAL CONES IN HANDY

Hotel. Chicago, the week of
Dec. 2.
Mr.. Becker shows, in today's
hand. how the defensive signal
may be used by both partners to
defeat the contract. 1t is easy to
see. by locking at all four hands,
that North and South can cash
two aces and two ruffs. In actual
play, however, it would be very
easy for the defense to slip.
Mr.. Becker held the South
cards. His partner opened
the deuce of hearts. Becker
realized that this opening had
certain significance. North had
bid hearts over Vests double,
showing weakness and apprehen-
sion that the club double might
be left in.
Holding the ace and king Of
hearts, Mr., Becker knew that his
partner did not bid hearts on a
four card suit; therefore, the
opening of the deuce of hearts
must be defensive signal play,
asking for return of the lower of
the two other suits not trump.
Mr. Becker won the trick with
the king Of hearts and now re-
turned a club, but if North should
ruff, Becker would not want
another heart played. because he
knew that North must have at
least six hearts and that West
was void. So at this point, Mr..
