FOOD FOR THE FAMILY A DISH that is nourishing enough to take the place of a main dish at dinner is: Hominy With Olives. Fry one small onion cut fine in a little fat until golden. Add three scant cupfuls of cooked sftmp or a can of hominy; stir until hot? then, add onefourth of a cupful of milk, the same of water, stirring all the time; add three-fourths of a cupful of grated cheese, and when It is melted remove from the heut before the cheese becomes stringy. Then add one-half cupful of stoned ripe olives, chopped. Season and serve at once. Scotch ies. Take two cupfuls of roiled oats, put through the meat chopper and brown lightly in the oven. Take two tablespoonfuls of shortening melted, onefourth of a cupful of molasses, oneteaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of soda. Mix all the dry ingredients, add the melted shortening and the molasses and milk, itoll thin and cut In strips and bake minutes in a moderate oven. Ice eaoh cake as it comes from the oven with sugar melted with a little water. Savory Sandwich Filling. Blanch one-half cupful of almonds and brown them in a tablespoonful of cooking oil. Then chop fine. Season well with salt and paprika, and add four tablespoonfuls of chopped pickles, one tablespoonful of chutney, chopped. Spread buttered bread with cream i cheese softened and sprinkled with chopped almond mixture. This Is sufficient filling for a loaf of bread if the slices are cut very thin.

Most people are in a hurry. They rush to their offices in the niorning. They rush to their homes at night. When they get to the office, they sit around waiting for dinner. About three quarters of the average man's time* is spent "sitting around."! And time spent sitting around is al- i ways wasted time. You are given about eight hours to i loaf if you want to and eight hours to work. Unless you have nn unusually easy Job, you can save little out of the eight hours' working time. You can save from one to five hours out of the eight, at least once or twice ? mu? on rofnl a it j??u ?iv vu*v?m?. But unless you use thnt time, and use it wisely, there will be uo sense / in saving it. Most successful men are very careful to save a little time out of tne socalled idle eight hours. They use this either to add to the efforts they \n\f. forth on their regular business, or to take up something related to their business which is j inconvenient to do during working 1 hours. In other words they use their time as intelligently as they do their money. They make it earn dividends. I And time set to work In that fashion is always a good Investment. Steamships, railroads, rapid transit lines have together affected an immense saving of time for the human race. No longer does a man need to spend ! a month, practically idle all the time, going from London to New York. He can go in less than a week, with three weeks saved. Those three weeks are worth money. They mav mean success. Use them and n considerable share of all the time you save, and your output soon begins to show a gratifying increase.

COMPENSATION BILL TO PASS ~ m Five-Fold Measure Scheduled for Favorable Action by Congress During Present Session. ^ Cash, paid up insurance, vocational i training, farm or home aid and land ^ settlement are options offered World <i war veterans In the five-fold adjusted compensation bill which congress is = expected to pass during its present session. According to National Commnnder MacNider of the American Legibn, who bases his statement on information a given him by Senator McCumber, ti North Dakota, author of the bill in v the senate, and Republican Fordney, a Michigan, who introduced the bill into s the house, the legislation will becoin^ h law during February, 1922. s The measure will become effective h in July, 1922, as originally provided, tl Mr. MacNider believes. In connection p with the bill, it is significant that the h Legion has termed it "adjusted com- h pensation" from the first as against ti the common term of "bonus." When the bill becomes law, each ex- t service man or woman will be entitled to any one of the following options: t (1) Adjusted service pay, at the rate u of SI a day for home sendee and $1.25 ? for foreign Service. Mnximum of $500 ( for man without overseas service; $625 ^ for man with overseas service. s (2) Adjusted service certificate (so | called insurance feature), a paid-up ^ 20-year endowment policy. The face j value of this policy will be 3.38 times c the amount that would be received in v cash. The face value of this policy rj would be payable to they veteran at j. the end of 20 years, or lr ne uieo uc- s fore the expiration of 20 years, the face value would be paid to the beneflcinry of the poligy. Loan values are also provided for. v (3) Vocational training aid of $1.25 a- day while taking a course in vocational training. The amount thus paid in no case would exceed 140 per cent of what would have been paid in cash. (4) Farm or home aid, 140 per cent of what would be paid under option I No. 1, If the money Is used to purchase, improve or make payments on approved farm or city or suburban home. ' (5) Land settlement. (A) Provides for the establishment of reclamation projects for the development and improvement of vacant land. This may be government land or may be land purchased by the government. If possible, projects \V111 be located in each state, the state paying part of the purchase price of private lands bought for tills purpose. Ex-service men to . be employed on the project as far as possible. (B) Provides for the sale of farm units on these projects when they are ready for settlement. Sale price is to include purchase price of land plus cost of Improvements. Terms: part down, rest in 40 years at 5 per cent interest. (C) Veterans may have their adJusted service pay applied as first payment on this land.

It Is interesting to notice 1 ow frequently in commenting upon his incident the newspapers have ointed out thut "the doctor should j ave had a boy scout along, to show Im how to make a lire by friction and ] ;nd his direction by sun und stars." "By reason of the scout movement, he next generation will be better pre- ' ured for such emergencies," observes he Salt Lake City News. "To say the nan suffered for lack of a match is to nisstate Ids case. He suffered almost o death for lack of lire, and he' lacked Ire becuuse we have come to depend o much on mutches.

OMAHA SCOUTS PREVENT WR-?CK Two boy scouts, Jatnes Caldwell and Clarence Swingholra of Omnh/i, recently prevented a serious train wreck by prompt action and presence of mind. Coming home from a hike they discovered that a large tree ha J fallen directly across the track of the Omaha-Chicago passenger train which was already whistling around the bend only a few hundred yards away. Tearing off the red sweater of one of the hoys they ran along the truck, waving the danger signal frantically. The train was halted and doubtless many lives were saved. ".Vothing to it," said Scout Swlngholm when people tried to overwhelm the lads with praise. "We Just dffl a gool turn ahn that's what hoy scouts are for." The tree was one which some tee hunters had evidently felled and ran away from in dismay .when they saw It had fallen in so precarious a { lace.

LESSON TEXT?I Kings 18:1-46. GOLDEN TEXT-Thia fls the victory hat overcometh the world, even our aith.?I John 6:4. REFERENCE MATERIAL?Josh. 24: .4-28; Eph. 6:10-20. PRIMARY TOPIC?God Answers Ellah's prayer. JUNIOR TOPIC?One MAn Against Four Hundred and Fifty. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Jehovah's Victorious Champion. YOUNG PE..ND ADULT TOPIC -Modern Evils; How to FljjJrt Them. I. Elijah Meets Ahab (vv. 17-19). At the Lord's command, Elijah shows himself to Aliab. When Elijah tvas last seen by Ahab, he announced that rain would only be given by his word (17:1). In connection with the Prophet's appearing before the king, rain was promised. 1. Ahab's question?"Art thou he that troubleth Isruel?" (v. 17). Ahab's aim was to Intimidate Elijah?to awe him Into submission. The devil goes ^ about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (I Pet. 5:8). 2. Elijah's answer (v. 18). He denied the charge and boldly declared that the calamity which had befallen . the nation wa* caused by the Idolatry # of Ahab and Lis family. Many are Kofall mPH nnd llic vaiauiiuco rt?uv*i ??*?* nations because they have forsaken God's commands and are worshiping other gods. II. Elijah's Challenge (vv. 10-24). 1. The people assembled (vv. 19, 20). The king convened the people at the urgent request of Elijah. It is strange that h? should do this at Elijah's command. Evidently God's hand overruled. ^ 2. Elijah's ringinf call to decision (vv.'21-24). (1) The question asked ?Who is your God, Baal or thfc Lord? (\. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken God. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. Many today are halting between two opinions; they are halting between self and God?sin and holiness?mammon and God. But the question must be settled sooner or later. In fact, the decision is being made every day. (2) The silence of the people (v. 21). This may have been because of fear of the king or ignoracce, for many were of the opinion that to be religious was the only thlr.g necessary, irrespective of the beipg worshiped. (3) The method of decision (vv. 22-24). Two sacrifices were to be provided, one to be ofTered to Baa], the other to God. The god who answered by fire was to be the God. Tte people consented that this was a fair test. Accepted sacrifice is the grand and supreme test by which Qod is culling upon men every where ta make the de*, cislon between Christ and heathen gods (Rom. 4:25). III. The Test Applied (vv. 25-39). 1. The offering by tte prophets of Rani (vv. 25-29). Elijah gave a fair test, even placed the advantage on the other side. He gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. To deal unfairly In any H-Aol-nQOD I n t)m nnrtv Itrai ucixu^o n runiicoo *** v??v. |/u* nnd the positions taken. Elijah taunted them, and they more earnestly cried to Baal, but no answer came. 2. The offering by Elijah (vv, 30-30). (1) The people invitee near (v. 30). His object was for them to see the entire proceedings In order to fully grasp the genuineness of the test. (2) The altor repaired (vv. 80-32). Before there can be the power of God manifested, the altar must be repaired. Elijah took -twelve stones, representing the united nation. God Is one, and His people is one> (3) The offering on the altar (vv. 33-35). After the bullock was in place, he had four barrels of water three times emptied upon the sacrifices and the wood so as to fill the trench about the altar. So sure was Elijah that God's power was sufficient, that he heaped difficulty upon difficulty. (4) Elijah's prayer (vv. 36-37). (a) It was based upon covenants (v. Sfl). The foundation upon which all real prayer rests is covenant relationship, (b) Its object was God's exaltation (v. 36). Elijah was Jealous for God's glory?his supreme desire was to honor and magnify the Lord. The only thing that he asked for himself was to be known as God's servant, (c) It was for the salvation of the people (v. 37). His heart yearned after Israel. He yas most desirous that they should come to know God. (5) The result (vv. 3S, 39). (a) The fire of the Lord fell nnd consumed not only the sacrifice, but the wood, stones and dust, even licking up the water in the trench, (b) The people fell on their faces nnd confessed that the Lord was the God. IV. The Execution of Baal's Prophets (v. 40). The reason for this drastic action ivns that Israel's government was a theocracy?God was their King. Idolatry was treason against the King. These false prophets were traitors to 3o<] and therefore should die. V. God's Prophets Vindicated (w. 11-445). The proof that Elijah was God's-' jrophet was Incomplete till rain came. Israel under his ministry had now urned back to God. and God made mown to them His graclousness. , The Same Forevermore. Hast thou ever found that God hath lealt unfaithfully with thee? Or didst hou ever hear that He hath dealt un'althfully with any other? There Is 10 want of power in Him that He * 1 ihould not he as big as His. word.
