Common Household Items Be-
come Interesting When
Their History Is Revealed
by Sidney Snow

1t is interesting to realize how
much we can be influenced by a
touch of the romantic or unusual
associated with the prosaic, day to
day things with which we live.
Some common, household item is
just anothf' item, and maybe a
nuisance, and we don't like it at all.
Very readily we may even develop
definite dislikes. And then some
body calls our attention to some
interesting relationship and the
aspect changes.
Take, for instance, cinnamon. AS
a small boy hated cinnamon with
a consuming and absorbing dislike.
actually enjoyed expressing con-
tempt for the bits of woody bark
which used to float around in the
dish of prunes and with the stewed
dried cherries and in the otherwise
delightful old English ounce con-
serve. Always there was cinnamon.
Why did there have to be CHINA
mon?
"Well", said a school-teacher of
mine, when the matter came I'D
for discussion, II suppose that is
because for untold centuries peo-
pc have found it very good. In the
Bible it is among the first food
products mentioned. Read about
cinnamon in the Book of Exodus
in the Thirtieth Chapter. And sure
enough, there it says:
"The Lord spake unto Moses
saying: "Take thou unto thee prin-
cipal spices, of myrrh five hundred
shekels, and of sweet cinnamon
half so much" Then on up through
the ages, we read of cinnamon in
Proverbs, how it was used then as
a pertaining oil. Cinnamon as a
spice is so old that it goes far be-
yond the age of history and disap-
pears, penetrating deep into the
era of the myths.
Almost three thousand years
ago, the tale was told of the deep
valleys in Arabia where the Gin
namon bark was gathered amidst
great masses of snakes. And the
gatherers protected themselves
from bites while they gathered the
bark. And then they made always
three portions of what they gath

First Food To Be Mentioned
In The Bible Is Cinnamon

cred. Lots were drawn and the one
portion was given to the Sun. AS
the men carried away their two por-
tons, the third portion would take
fire from the Sun and in flames re-
turn to Heaven.
To-day we know but little more
of cinnamon. It is an elusive, deli
cate shrub. In its wild state it grew
to greater size, but cultivation has
held the shrub down to about eight
feet in height. And from this shrub
comes the smooth, round bark
which is cinnamon. It is a long
road from the days of Moses of old
to the shaker tin of cinnamon pow
der which we buy for few cents
today, but through all that time,
the taste for cinnamon has never
waned.
We read that old King John of
England, with his treasury depict
ed, nevertheless prepared for the
great Christmas feast and ordered
"Galfrid, the Saltar" to lay in half
a pound Of nutmegs and three
pounds of cinnamon.
Cinnamon came, too, into the
field of medicine. There was in
France a famous remedy known as
the Vinegar of the Four Thieves"
used by group of criminals who
made a disinfectant to protect
them while they plundered the
homes of the plague stricken. Fin
ally, these thieves were caught,
but so impressed were the author
tiles of those times with the value
of this medicine that they traded
the thieves a pardon for the recipe.
And then the preparation became
part of the regular medical pre-
scription list of those days.
1t is pleasant to eat fresh, warm,
well buttered cinnamon toast with
cup of tea and to study the tiny
particles of cinnamon powder and
to think that while the world
moves on and on and new inven-
lions come every day to startle US,
still the slim, pencilled bark of the
ancient shrub-like tree, old when
Moses was told to make use of it,
old when Egypt reigned and Greece
was producing historians, is, never
theless, fresh and new and frag-
rant in its ten cent tin on our pam
try shelf.

What Shall We Have For
Sunday Night Supper"
Oyster Rarebit

After the theatre a few Sundays
ago the friends who were with us
pointed very accusing fingers in
our directions. Nothing was said
but we suddenly realized with
guilty feeling that it was our turn
to give the Sunday Night Supper"
and that we had rather forgotten
about it.
Speaking of nonchalance, we
were the picture of it and gath
ering our best "just wait and see"
expression, we headed for an all
night delicatessen where they have
grand fresh shucked oysters, boxes
of krispy, golden melba toast and
lots Of beer. And this is what we
had for that supper.
OYSTER RAREBIT
! cup oysters
2 tablespoons butter
~ pound soft mild cheese, cut in
small pieces
Few grains cayenne
2 eggs
Clean, parboil, and drain oysters,
add cheese and seasonings; as
cheese melts, add gradually oyster
liquor, and eggs slightly beaten.
AS soon as mixture is smooth, add
soft part Of oysters. Serve on I'M
;sweetened wafer crackers or bread
toasted on one side, rarebit being
poured over untoasted side.
A large dish Of melba toast, de-
sliciously cool beer. Then canned
pumpkin tarts and coffee. Really a
