NOVEL BUT GOOD IS THIS ORANGE VEAL ALMOND SALAD
(See Recipes Below)
Household Neuis
Spring Salads for
Spring Tonics
Time was when we needed sul
phur and molasses, or its equiva
lent, as a spring tonic to repair the
damages of a winter diet which was
quite likely to be lacking in fresh
fruit and vegetables. Nowadays
spring tonics are unnecessary nui
sances, for most of us, because even
through the long winter months, a
plentiful supply of fruits and vege
tables is available. ■
But somehow this season creates
an appetite for “something right out
of the garden,’*
and it’s now that
we find salads of
fresh fruits and
vegetables as re
freshing as the
first spring
breeze.
Serving a salad
is such a simple
means of making
sure that the
day’s quota of fresh vegetables or
fruits is included in the die!.
Salads look so cool and inviting,
and properly prepared they do such
a lot toward perking up one’s appe
tite. But they must be inviting to
look at, cool and crisp, and well
seasoned.
Wash salad greens carefully, then
soak in cold water to make them
very crisp. Remove all brown or
wilted spots. Dry carefully on a
towel or place cleaned salad greens
in a clean sugar sack and shake or
twirl vigorously to remove the drops
of moisture that cling to the greens.
Chill thoroughly.
Simple salads, in general, are the
smartest—and if they’re to serve
their purpose as spring tonics,
they’re the best. Salads which are
too rich, too elaborately garnished,
or decked out with whipped cream,
defeat their own purpose, and I have
a feeling that it’s one reason most
men dislike salads, because too
often they’ve had served to them in
the name of salad, some queer,
sticky concoction, with so many in
gredients, so badly mangled, and so
much garnish, that there’s scarcely
a salad green to be seen or recog
nized. Men do like good salads,
though, and you’ll find recipes for
the kind they enjoy, in my booklet,
“Feeding Father.’*
When you’re planning your spring
tonic salads, don’t overlook the raw
vegetables—shreds of pared, raw
beets, slivers of carrot, and the ten
der young leaves of spinach, raw
cauliflower, broken into flowerettes
—is an excellent addition to a vege
table salad, and don’t forget that
just a suspicion of gallic in a vege
table salad is as important as the
dressing! Minced green onion tops
or chives will serve as a substitute,
if your family doesn’t approve of
garlic.,
Orange Veal Almond Salad.
(Serves 6-8)

almond salad. The orange blends
with and brings out the flavors of the
other ingredients. This is an espe
cially exceUent buffet salad.

foods available! In this column

give you some of her own favorite
suggestions for dressing up spring
menus.

MICAH’S VISION OF PEACE
LESSON TEXT—Micah 4:1-5; 5:2-5a.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears
into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up
a sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more.—Micah 4:3.
Peace on earth! Why, that is
hardly more than a phrase which
we recall at Christmastime as we
think of the song of the angels. Yet
now is the time to assure people that
there will be peace on earth.
Peacemakers who are now silent
were striving to bring in a man
made peace, following a will-o’-the-
wisp. Let us tell men about the real
peace which will come when the
Prince of Peace sets up His king
dom. Let us urge upon them the
glad acceptance of His personal
kingship in their hearts that they
may even now know peace within.
Micah warned Judah that their re
jection of God and His love would
bring them sorrow and judgment.
In the midst of his message, how
ever, he breaks forth into a glowing
prophecy of the glory that is to come
during the reign of the Messiah, the
Prince of Peace.
I. The Foundation of Peace—God’s
Word (4:1, 2).
Vainly do men labor to bring about
a lasting peace built upon the words
of men, for the moment there seems
to be gain in repudiating promises
given ii» the greatest of solemnity,
they become mere scraps of paper.
There is no security in such words,
nor in the guns and battleships used
to support or to break them.
God’s Word, the teaching of His
law, walking in His paths—here is
the foundation for real peace. Micah
speaks of the time “in the last days”
when the people of the earth shall
s house to hear His
learn to walk in His
blessed and holy day
we« look forward with anticipation
and joy even as we now bring men
the message of Christ’s redemption
and His peace.
II. The Prince of Peace—Jesus
Christ (4:3-5).
This beautiful portion of God’s
Word (and such parallel passages as
Isa. 2:1-5; 11:1-12) gathers together
the longing and hopes of peace-
loving men of every age. Perfect
justice, the end of all wars, pros
perity for peaceful pursuits, boys no
longer learning warfare, complete
social security, universal worship of
God—what a’thrilling promise!
Will it ever come true? Yes.
When? In the “latter days” (v. 1,
R. V.). Who has made such a prom
ise? God Himself. Who will bring
it about? God’s Son, the Prince of
Peace, who will come to “judge be
tween many people.”
Why will men be so blind to the
“sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do well that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark place”
(II Pet. 1:19)? Why will we reject
Him who is “the day star” (II Pet.
1:19; Rev. 22:16) and who is even
now ready to “arise in your
hearts”?
III. His Coming—As Saviour (5:
2, 3).
This remarkable Messianic proph
ecy gave more than 700 years be
fore the birth of Christ the exact
place of His birth, so closely iden
tified as to make both the prophecy
and its fulfillment a testimony to the
inspiration of the Bible. Note that
this was the passage with which the
priests and scribes answered the
question of Herod (Matt. 2:1, 4-6)
regarding the place where the Mes
siah was tc* be born.
Thus the coming ruler of Israel,
the Judge of all peoples, the Prince
of Peace, is none other than the
Lord Jesus who was born into this
world as the Babe of Bethlehem,
“a Saviour . . . Christ the Lord”
(Luke 2:11). Israel rejected Him
and He had to “give them up” (v.
3), but the time will come when
they shall see Him as their King.
IV. His Reigfc—As King (5:4, 5a).
“This man shall be our peace”
(v. 5, R. V.). He it is who “shall
be great unto the ends of the earth”
(v. 4); and that can be said of no
man in all history except of Him
of whom we sing,
Jesus shall relgh where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
—Isaac Watts.
His shall not be the reign of a
despot, for we read that “Ho shall
feed his flock in the strength of
Jehovah” (v. 4, R. V.). His ene
mies and the enemies of God the
Father must be put down, but His
people will find Him to be the ten
der “good shepherd” who “giveth
his life for the sheep” (John 10:
11). He is that now to every be
liever. Sinner, why not take Him
now as your Saviour, your Good
Shepherd, and join with His people
in looking for His coming as King?
Opposition Helps '
Efforts against the truth some
times help its progress; the seal and
the guard only make it more clear
that the Savior rose from the dead.
—Broadus.
Bad Handwriting Annoying;
Then Again—Very Funny!
IF YOU question a friend’s pro-
^ nunciation of a particular word
and set him right he will wait as
patiently as an angler to trip you
up when you blunder. Tell him,
however, that his writing is il
legible and he will accept your
criticism with pleasure. It’s a
popular idea that because good
handwriting is no mark of a
genius a poor “fist” is.
Such reasoning sounds convinc
ing when we remember that men
of genius are the greatest offend-
Self-Preservation Was
Farmer's First Thought
The old farmer and his wife vis
ited the menagerie. When they
halted before the hippopotamus
cage, he remarked, “Darn’d curi
ous fish, eh, ma?”
“That ain’t no fish,” she an
nounced, “that’s a reptile!” And
so the argument began. It pro
gressed to such a point of violence
that the woman began belaboring
the husband with her umbrella.
The man dodged and ran, with
the wife in pursuit. Finding the
door of the lion’s cage slightly
ajar, he popped in and cowered
behind the biggest lion. On the
other side of the bars stopped his
wife, and shaking her umbrella at
him, shouted, “Coward!”
ers against the canons of good
handwriting. When they are
taken to task for it they plead in
defense that their thoughts flow
faster than their pens. Medical
men attribute their scrawl to the
fact that in their student days
they had to take longhand notes
at shorthand speed.
Napoleon’s handwriting was
anything but copperplate. It is
said that a love letter written to
Josephine during one of his cam
paigns was, on first examination,
thought to be a plan of a battle
field. If this story be true one
does not require a large pinch of
salt to swallow the story about the
doctor whose private note to a
chemist asking for the loan of a
shotgun and shells was interpret
ed as a prescription.
The handwriting pf many lit
erary men is extremely difficult
to read. A famous author whose
“hand” was execrable threatened
to dismiss a compositor who, in
the setting up of his script, always
had a crop of typographical blun
ders. When the compositor turned
“He promised him his daughter in
marriage, into “He promised him
his torture in March,” the author
sent a note to the foreman order
ing him to dismiss the compositor.
The latter managed to obtain
possession of the note, and went
to a rival firm with it. Nobody
could read the note, so the com-
Tootle the Horn!
From the Japanese Highway
Code: “When a passenger of
the foot hoves in sight, tootle
the horn. Trumpet to him
melodiously at first. If he still
is an obstacle to your passage,
tootle him with vigour, express
ing by word of mouth the warn
ing HI-HI.
“Go soothingly on the grease-
mud as there lurks the skid
demon. Press the brake of the
foot as you roll around the cor
ners to save collapse, and tie-
up.
“At the rise of the hand of a
policeman, stop rapidly. Do
not pass him, or otherwise dis
respect him.”
positor said he would, and this
is what he read out: “Highly ef
ficient compositor. I can recom
mend Mr. X with every con
fidence.” He was put on the
firm’s payroll immediately!
A famous artist once wrote to
the duke of Wellington for permis
sion to examine and paint his
beeches. The handwriting in the
letter was almost illegible to the
duke. He replied in a courteous
letter, saying that for the life of
him, he could not understand how
anyone should desire to examine,
much less paint, his breeches.
There is a story told of the pres
ident of a railway company who
once wrote to a man threatening
to take legal proceedings against
him unless he ceased trespassing
on his property. He used the let
ter as a free pass on the railway.
