"But even if we had not had

we would not have feared scurvy,

We also had such meats as canned

A Lightning

CHUNSe ATEtSC
A can of corn, before it Is
IA opened, appears to be COM
fortable-looking cylindrical tin
container with an appetiZing-look-
ing label depicting and describing
its contents, as it stands smugly
on your pantry shelf. But the
moment it's opened can of corn
becomes a lightning-chang artist
of many varied possibilities. It
may become, according to your
taste, cake, a casserole, chow
der, a fritter, an omelet, pud-
ding, salad, a scallop, soup,
stuffing, or, in combination with
beans, a succotash.
OF course you probably like
corn just as it comes from the
can, but you may want to vary
occasionally from that. If you do,
stir into the contents of a No. 2
can of corn two eggs, two table
spoons Of -four, teaspoon of bak-
ing powder, dash of cayenne and
half teaspoon of salt. Pour in
buttered baking dish, dot with
butter and bake, and you'll have
an entirely different dish.

How does canned corn become

Corn Cakes: Beat two eggs well,
add half a cup of sour milk, one

pork sausage and gravy or with

 T think there is 8 need for men to be intelligent and to think out how their religion is affected by the modern knowledge and how it ought to influence the reorganization of society, now slowly taking place." The speaker said he was greatly pleased with his American visit and would return to London with fond memories.
 The session is the mid-Winter meeting. Rev. Joseph Racioppi, rec tor of Trinity Church, opened the meeting with Holy Communion.

CIGARS NO LONGER SIGN
OF '1HE-MAN"

The great big "he-man" from the
South who "wore' a big cigar in his
mouth is fast fading out of existence.
In his place. there has arisen q
younger generation which is con-
stantly sucking cigarette very So
phisticatedly from the corner of it's

Time was when man was known
by the quality of cigars he smoked.
Good cigars, successful man. Bad
cigars, non-entity. But not so today.
The smoke of cigarettes now is where
the pugent aroma of a good cigar
once was, and practically the only
men who cling to cheroots are gem
tlemen of the cold school,"
Records taken from the World
Almanac, show more clearly just
what an amazing change has taken
place in the nations smoking habits
since the eve of the World War, when
"coffin tacks" as cigarettes once were
called, barred from polite soiety and
were associated by the better class
with the habits of pool rooms which
were infested with young sports with
cap pulled down over one ear and
cigarette in the corner of the mouth.
In 1913, the year before the world
was plunged into its greatest war,
cigarettes were decidedly the under
dogs and cigars held the upper hand.
In those days, manufacturers made
two sizes of cigars. They still do, but
small cigars and "large" cigarettes
have practically lost public favor.
