Dried Apple Pies

Dried Apple Pies
This is a representative .democ-

ties and idiosyncracies so long as
they do not unreasonably rasp
against the rights and privileges Of
ones peers. Just what ails the
country and the world in general,
is. of course, a matter of personal
opinion. But the countryman is
reaching the point when he thinks
food has a pivotal bearing on the
total situation. Skinny breakfasts,
limp salads on tired lettuce, and
doodadish desserts are symbolical
Of the Illustrations of the era. One
thing that's needed is a renaissance
of dried apple pies.
A man doesn't claim that a
dried apple pie is necessarily the
equal of a deep dish pie of fresh
fruit. But there's a tangy, smoky
righteousness about a dried apple
pie that puts it into a class by
itself Mixed with raisins, a bit Of
lemon peel and favored with mo.
%lasses, 1t brings back memories
of the crisp October days when
strings of sliced apples were dry
ing in the sun. The women folks
don't go for dried apple pies these
days, but if men could have a
couple wedges for supper after the
fried potatoes, corn bread and
cucrant jelly, it would be good
way to end a days living.-WaIl

In my judgment, only by giving the Presi-

Theater Fashions

Opening night and q we'll
dressed woman were synonymous
when 1.-THE Glass Menagerie"
opened on Monday at the Ma
tional.
It was pleasure to see dressy
theater suits In satin and in light
woolens. There were many women
dressed formally. Some were in
black with jeweled interest at
the shoulder line, and quite .
few wore evening skirts and
dressed-up jackets.
Small hats are definitely a part
of the Washington theater scene
and one glimpSes a few pert
straws, flower hats, and one very
attractive young lady wore a
black veil headpiece trimmed
with tiny flowers. A sure sign
of spring came about through the
use Of color. Sprinkled through
out the opening-night crowd
were touches of pinks, grays, yel-
lows and blues.
An interesting fashion note was
in the play itself. Pauline Lord,
who plays the role of mother,
wears a faded blue TERED dress
in the last act. The dress in the
play is a throw-back to her days of
belledom in the South. This very
style is now popular and was
featured in the spring collec-
tions In New York. It's the old
truth - keep something long
enough and 1t comes back In
style!

A knowledge OF good nutrition Is
more Important today than 1t has
been for a long time. Food prices
have risen so high that the average
family can afford less variety than
lit could in the past and the danger
of malnutrition Is greater, unless
there Is care in the choice of food
items.
For instance, q meal made up Of
fresh vegetable soup with many
vegetables included, cheese and
dark or whole wheat bread, and
milk, supplies many Of the essen
tial elements. In fact, in certain
parts Of Europe, strong races have
been maintained on this kind Of q
diet. Add to that lean meat, citrus
fruit or fruit juice, more milk and
a few eggs, and you will have most
Of the important food values.
Bread forms valuable part Of the
low-cost diet and 1t is not devital-
lied as 1t used to be. White bread
now approaches whole wheat bread
In health value. This item Of food
can be used In many different ways.
If you must build up calories and
health value at smaller cost, in
vestigate different ways In which
bread latter all 1t has not risen
much In cost, can be used. Creamed
fish on toast makes delightful
dish, children and adults love bread
puddings, you can put your eggs
on toast and make sandwiches
which are meals in themselves.
Making bread at home Is a hobby
which would pay dividends in
health and fun. There are myriad
recipes which employ whole wheat
flour and soy flour and milk. This
sort of bread, used in varying man
ners, with lettuce and meat or fish
or cheese included in sandwiches,
will do much to boost energy on an
average family budget.

Valentine Shop Talk
By Dorothy Bihlman

Hunting for some facts about val
entines we were surprised to learn
that of all the greeting cards avail
able today, a valentine was the very
first, and Is almost 200 years older
than the Christmas card. We were
told that America discovered this
greeting card custom along about
the time of the Revolutionary War.
It is said that a daughter of a sta
toner found an English valentine
In her fathers store and copied it.
For years such cards were hand
made, since it wasn't until about in
the 1840s that any one conceived
the idea of manufacturing them At
this time a man living in New York
introduced the comic variety. It
took some time for these to catch
on" but when they did, they enjoyed
popularity for many years. In fact
it wasn't until the turn Of the cen

just to point out a few of those that
can be found on the local counters.
Shopping for these cards is delight
full, quite refreshing break in the
routine of hunting for essentials.
The fair sex may be seen three rows
deep browsing for a considerable
length of time over these missives.
They have a wide selection from
which to choose. From cards with
titles denoting a valentine message
for husband to those for son. beau,
father, granddad, uncle, cousin,
butcher, baker and candlestick
maker. Some Of the verses parody
famous poems, some borrow quotes
from remembered nursery rhymes
and childhood jingles.

Living Our Religion

NA1HAT we are determines what
w people think of our religion,
not what we say about our religious
life. James tells us in Sundays les
son that faith without works Is
dead. 1t Is that very truth that our
generation so much needs to get
hold upon.
We have many perplexing situa-
tons in our world. Racial differ
ences, differences regarding capital
and labor, and so forth and so on.
How are these problems to be
solved? BY resolutions? We know
that many very pious resolutions
have been adopted concerning these
problems, but still the problems
remain.
One Christian in any given COM
munity who applies the teaching
of James to everyday life will
start a train of events that will
add up to the solution of any prob
lem, social, economic or what not.
We must translate our beliefs
into action.

Your State Health
Officer Says

Within a few years undulant fever,
or brucellosis, may very well be
one of the most common communi-
cable diseases in the United States,
according to some health authorities,
who consider that this rather poorly
understood infection is today far
more prevalent than is generally
realized.
So difficult is undulant fever to
recognize that in its acute form it
is often confused with typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, malaria, acute rheuma-
tic fever, influenza and other dis
eases. In its chronic form it may go
on for years without being diagnos-
ed as anything but general poor heal
tn Or lack of energy; indeed, some
victims of undulant fever are
thought to be merely lazy. Although
two per cent or less of all acute
ca-es are fatal, the disease can be
" " disabling, particularly since re-
lapse seems to be the rule rather
than the exception.
Symptoms of acute brucellosis in
clude general weakness; a fever
that comes and goes, with alternate
chills and sweating; marked loss of
weight; aches, especially in the back,
legs and arms; and often a severe
headache. The chronic form, charac-
terized by stiffness of the joints,
general weakness, inability to gain
weight or strength, and various
aches and pains, is even more diff
cult to diagnose.
Undulant fever is transmitted to
people not only by contact with dis
eased animals but chiefly through
drinking the milk of infected ami
mails. No raw milk, no matter how
carefully produced and handled, can
be guaranteed safe and free from
germs of brucellosis. Certain com
munities in Mississippi have been
aroused to the importance OF pro-
tecting their citizens from the dam
gers of undulant fever and have
passed ordinances requiring the
pasteurization of milk offered for
sale in addition to requiring the
certification of dairy herds as free
of brucella infection.

SINS END


Lust bringeth forth sin: and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death."--James Ills.
The way of lust and sin may seem
pleasant for a time but it is taking
a very short view not to look beyond
the moments pleasure to the end
result. BE not deceived; God is not
Knocked: for whatsoever a man sow
eth, that shall he also reap. For he
that soweth to his flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption"--Gal. =: 2, g.
Gods laws cannot be broken with
impunity. Sins end is death. There
is a way that seemeth right unto a
man, but the ends thereof are the
ways of death. prov. 14:12.
While God is a God of justice and
every transgression of His law re-
ceives a just recompense, it a glorio-
us truth that He is also merciful to
those who will accept His Son as
their Savior. 1.-THE wages of sin is
death: but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
Rom. 1923. God can be merciful and
still be just because the price of sin
has been paid by the substitutionary
death Of Christ. He Bore u sins
in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness. 81 pet. 2:24
Make an end to living in sin. Turn
to Christ for salvation from sin and
power to conquer sin. Accept the
gift of everlasting life today. Then
you will be able to say,
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him | owe;
Sin has left a crimson stain;
He washed it white al snow"
