Famous Dish of Brazil

Some years ago at a Brazilian
Embassy luncheon, I was treated to

worlds truly great bean dishes and
Is as good to eat as it Is appallingly
complicated to make. However,
should you ever contemplate a
Night in Brazil party or some such
international gesture. you might
like to have this one in your files.
You will need about q of a pound
OF jerked beef-Spanish specially
shops usually have it. In addition,
the mixture calls for Il pound of
smoked pork sausage, n pound of
smoked pork, II pound of smoked
tongue and 4 pound of bacon. To
be really letter perfect, you should

else, can bring their measurements
back to youthful proportions. They

the mental outlook happily. When
you exercise regularly your body be-
comes elastic and seems to carry
you about joyously rather than de-
manding that you drag it around
tortuously. Many petty physical
disabilities disappear and you can
wear the clothes you like, sans rolls
and punches of fat.
Unless a woman exercises regu-
larly her abdominal muscles are al
most certain to relax and sag as
she grows older. This is especially
true If she has had children.
Many women omit exercise be-
cause they think of it as a laborious
hour or so. Actually 20 minutes
spent in exercise each day, If done
regularly, will tone the muscles and
slim the central portions Of the
figure. II you make these few mo-
tions to the music Of a record OF

pleasurable.

Children'S
Prayers
BY A AneeIo Pafrf

No matter what religion the FAM
lily may embrace the children are
taught to say their prayers. Now
saying is one thing and praying is
another. We begin by teaching chill
dren to say prayers but we hope by
doing so that we teach them to pray
for themselves in time to come.
The prayers we teach little chill
dren teach them to lean on God for
care, protection, love and help. That
feeling Of dependence upon God is
inherent in every one of us and it is
necessary that we hold to that feel
ing and hold to our faith in His love.
That is what the prayers of little
children should teach them-the
love of God and their faith in Him.
Prayer should strengthen faith,
should stimulate spiritual courage
and strength. 1t should be the ever
present help in time Of trouble. To
that end we teach children to call
upon God in their daily difficulties.
That habit is one of the best we can
set in little children.
~ 44OO 44CCCccdl y OAldb Gil
go to church to pray and to church
only. They should be taught to pray
all the time, everywhere, In school,
on the playground, at home and Of
course, in church. The real prayer
is the one that rises from the heart
and directed straight to God. That
sort is in order any time, anywhere.
rTnn pfIlrrh -
open all day and all night long is
the one I cheer for. Children on
their way to and from school can
stop in for moment, kneel at the
altar, IN the pew, anywhere they
| feel that God is present, and say a
few words of meaningful prayer,
take their troubles and their hopes
to an understanding Father. Chill
dren and grown people as well, have
troubles and fears and hopes every
day in the week, not just on Sun
days or every other Thursday. Teach
them to go apart and pray daily and
SO give them way of finding the
strength and serenity they need for
| daily use.
Sometimes we dull children's de-
sire to pray by making it formal
matter. We must begin to teach
children to pray by teaching them
to say prayers but their religious
education need not stop at that.
They can know that prayer can be
informal. spontaneous and personal.
They can know that Prayer is-the
souls sincere desire, uttered or I'M
expressed"
Teach children to pray as they
would teach a loving father and they
will know spiritual JOY all the days
Of their Ives.

Why Grow Old?

Women used to take a middle
aged figure for granted. They sighed
when they looked at their increas-
ing spread and the thickness
through their torso, but they lulled
themselves into inertia by blaming
1t all on years or children. This at
titude is rapidly changing because
women are learning that middle
aged thickness need not be a ques-
ton of age or the babies they've
had.

REMOVING PENCIL MARKS?
"TWIXT CUP AND LIP :"
From Mrs. J. B. s., Silper Spring. J
How can I remove lead pencil
markings from my painted dining
room wall? My 2-year-old is respon-
sible for this art" in an unguarded
moment.
And now tip about the difficult
stage between bottle and cup for
baby. Il have two girls, aged Is
months and 10 months) For the
first few times have used a small
cream cheese glass for milk and
orange juice, holding a saucer under
baby's chin. This saves soaked bibs
and clothing as babies do spill sc
much when first learning how to
drink from glass or cup. And in
these days of high prices and sac
rifices, one can tip the fluid back
into the cup for another try!

(From E. c. M, Washington.)
In answer to Mrs. F. D. S., sug-
gest that she try having all meat
chopped, to be made into balls, cut
lets, etc. For variety, the seasoning
included may be changed to enhance
the flavor of various meats, or they
may have vegetables to make stew,
garn1Shed with biscuit top. a Try
browning meat balls first then drop
into boiling broth in the European
style. II coffee cream or top" milk
is added to any chopped meat the
result is a more tender, moist prod
uct. Soft enough not to hurt ten
der gums, yet sufficiently hearty to
satisfy meat-hungry man. Below
is stew concocted for a similar oc-
casion.
Stew: One pound ground beef,
cream, 2 onions, 2 potatoes, 2 car
rots, l stalk celery, parsley, tomato
puree or soft tomatoes. Combine
meat and as much cream as it will
absorb. Brown with chopped on
ions the meat balls. Place in casse-
role. Make thin gravy from drip
pings, pour into casserole. Add
chopped vegetables, which may vary.
Salt. pepper, small piece of bay
leaf. Bake in brown oven hour at
375 degrees. Add thickening on re-
moval and tablespoon sherry.
Meat Loaf: One pound ground
beef, pork or lamb, cream to mois-
ten, l onion, u cup stale bread
crumbs, tomato puree u can, eggs,
4 cup oatmeal (uncooked), salt,
pepper. Combine all ingredients
adding eggs last, work with hands
to assure even distribution, shape

as was in the same plight as your

ing fond of food, I decided to do
something about it," I kept the
meat grinder attached to the kitch-
en- table, not bothering to put it
away between times, and ran any,
thing that I could not chew
through it. If we had chops,
cut the meat from the bone and ran
it through onto my plate, before
sitting down to dinner, also any
vegetable which could not be
chewed-potatoes and soft mashed
vegetables do not need 1t. 1t Is not
just the same as eating steak, chops
