BREAD TRICKS APLENTY!
(See Recipes Below)
'BREAD ’N’ BUTTER*
Those new loaves of white bread
featured on grocery store counters
and in bakeries
everywhere these
days look just
like the loaves of
white bread you
have been buying
for years. But
they’re different—they’ve been “vita-
mineralized.”
“How?” you ask. Through the
use of enriched flour—a wheat flour
which contains added vitamins and
minerals. 0
It was the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the United States depart
ment of agriculture which suggest
ed, when flour standards here were
under discussion, that fortified flour
should contain a specified amount
of vitamin B1 and of iron, and that
nicotinic acid, riboflavin and calci
um should be added.
Because American dietaries lack
chiefly B-vitamins and iron, the ac
cent was placed here. The law is
that each pound of Enriched Flour
must contain at least 1.66 milli
grams of thiamin (Bl); 6.15 milli
grams of nicotinic acid (pellagra
preventing vitamin); and 6.15 milli
grams of iron.
So, now in addition to being the
most versatile and economical en
ergy-yielding food, bread also pro
vides, in economical form, addition-
al nutrients essential to health.
And, since bread is the one food
that probably appears more often
than any other on the family menu,
I’m going to give you a variety of
new and interesting uses for this
“health food.”
A good sharp knife, a loaf of good
baker’s bread and your imagination
will do wonders in developing, in
your own kitchen, delicious crea
tions that make your menus full of
new life and interest.
Bread Buttercups.
Remove the crusts from a loaf of
uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices
from the loaf. Trim the slices so
that they are about 1% inches wide
and the ends pointed. Brush with
an egg and milk mixture and ar
range ip baking cups. It is best to
brush the tips with a little melted
butter so that they will brown more
readily. Bake the bread buttercups
in a moderate oven until they are
delicately browned.
Pinwheel Sandwiches.
Trim the crusts from a whole loaf
«f uncut bread; cut in lengthwise
slices. Spread the slices with any
desired spread of a creamy consis
tency. Roll the bread firmly the
narrow way. Small stuffed olives,
nut meats or hard cooked eggs
make an attractive center for the
roll. The rolls should be tightly
wrapped in waxed paper and chilled
in the refrigerator before slicing.
Croustades.
Trim crusts from two or three
slices of bread, making even-size
squares. Remove the centers from
all but one slice. Dip in melted
LYNN SAYS:
Do your menus meet nutritive
requirements, and appetite ap
peal, too? Careful, now. Here
are 10 points on which to check
your meals for appetite appeal:
1. Avoid repeating the /same
food in one meal.
2. Avoid serving more than one
strongly flavored or highly sea
soned food in a meal.
3. Avoid using too much of one
type of food in a meal—such as
spaghetti as a main dish and rice
pudding for dessert.
4. Use as much texture con
trast as possible—have some soft,
some solid, and some crisp food
in each meal.
5. Get flavor balance in your
menus by serving some sweet,
some bland, and some acid foods
each meal.
6. Serve some hot and some
cold foods each meal.
7. Serve foods whose colors look
well together and avoid serving
colorless foods in one meal.
8. Try to get contrast in size
and shape in the foods served.
9. Serve leftovers in a new
form.
10. Avoid serving the same food
combinations too often. Serve
some other tart fruit with your
pork, instead of the stand-by ap
plesauce.
It’s Picnic Time
Has winter made you forget the
wonderful, carefree afternoons
spent along sparkling streams or
in sunny meadows, munching hot
dogs, dipping into baked beans
and ice cream? It’s time to plan
Sunday excursions and be lazy
by eating off paper plates, with
paper forks. And next week Lynn
Chambers will delve into picnic
atmosphere. Watch for her reci
pes of good things to eat out-of-
doorS I
butter, and put together to form
square cases for creamed food.
Bread Patty Cases.
Cut three rounds of sliced bread.
Cut holes in two of them and place
on the first slice. Brush with a mix
ture of egg and milk (1 egg slight
ly beaten plus % cup of milk) and
bake in a moderate oven until
brown.
Checkerboard Sandwiches.
Remove the crusts and spread
the slices with soft butter, and any
sandwich spread of paste consis
tency. Then, alternating the slices,
make two stacks of three slices each
—one with a whole wheat slice be
tween two white slices and the other
with a white slice between two whole
wheat slices. Next, cut the two
stacks into half-inch slices. Spread
with soft butter and another flavor
spread, and alternate them again,
making stacks of three-layer slices
each. Press the stacks together,
wrap each in wax paper and place
in icebox to harden the butter. When
ready to serve, cut crosswise into
thin slices to give the checkerboard
effect.
Ribbon Sandwiches.
Remove the crusts from four
slices of bread, two white and two
whole wheat. Put them together
with different fillings, wrap in waxed
paper and chill. Cut down through
the four layers in thin slices to form
a ribbon sandwich.

If you’re weary of serving the
usual type of sandwiches when you
entertain, here are “fillers” that will
bring such phrases as “May I have
your recipe?” from fascinated
guests.
Egg Filling.
4 hard cooked eggs
Vt cup chopped cooked bacon or
% cup stuffed olives
Few drops Worcestershire sauce
Cream or salad dressing
Chop eggs, add bacon and Wor
cestershire sauce. Add enough
cream or dressing to give a spread-
ing consistency.
Ripe Olive Filling.
Use one cup ripe olives, minced;
one cup finely diced celery; % cup
minced nut meats, and salad dress
ing to taste. Combine olives, celery
and nutmeats and moisten with
dressing, then spread on bread.
Sandwich Loaf.
Trim crusts from a sandwich loaf
of bread and cut in four lengthwise
slices. Spread each slice with soft
ened butter. For the three different
fillings necessary, use any good
combinations of flavor and color,
such as minced ham and pickle, a
yellow cheese mixed with finely-
chopped green pepper, chives, pars
ley or watercress, and chopped to
matoes and cucumbers, or a tuna
or salmon mixture. Each of these
fillings should be mixed with may
onnaise or softened butter so that
it spreads easily. The loaf may be
made several hours ahead of time
if wrapped in waxed paper and kept
in a cool place. Prior to serving
it is iced on top,
sides and ends
with cream
cheese softened
to spreading con
sistency with wa
ter, milk or may
onnaise. Garnish
with slices of
stuffed olive, sprigs of parsley oi
endive. For serving, cut in thich
slices. This loaf will serve 10 to
12 persons.

of Chicago. . , .

BROADENING CHRISTIAN
HORIZONS: PETER’S VISION
LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:5-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—Then Peter opened his
mouth, and said. Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons.—Acts 10:34.
“The best argument for Christian
ity is a Christian” (Henry Drum
mond). Peter presented just such
an argument when, early in the his
tory of Christianity, there arose a
difference of opinion regarding his
ministry to a Gentile and his family.
The stumbling stone of offense be
came a stepping stone to higher
things, leading to the place of broad
er horizons. Peter, instead of ap
pealing to his apostolic authority or
asserting his position, simply relat
ed what God had done. He present
ed the best proof that God had actu
ally been at work; namely, a re
deemed soul.
We may learn from this lesson
that the way to broadened horizons
and greater usefulness for the
church is by
I. A Vision of God’s Plan (w.
5-10).
All men are equally precious in
God’s sight. God taught Peter very
effectively that, whether Gentile or
Jew, the Lord is “not willing that
any should perish, but that .all should
come to repentance” (II Pet. 3:9).
When God speaks we do well to
give heed to His message, even
though it cuts across our ideas and
prejudices, as it often does. It is
not our plan that is important; it is
God’s plan and purpose. As we
walk in that way we shall have
II. An Experience of God’s Power
(w. 11-15).
The Holy Spirit had fallen on the
Gentiles and they actually had been
saved. Is it not singular that in the
early church they could hardly be
lieve that a Gentile could be saved?
Now we are astonished if a Jew is
saved! Why will we in our unbelief
limit the Holy One of Israel?
The all-powerful gospel of the
grace of God is still saving men and
women, Jews and Gentiles, from
their sins. Have you seen it hap
pen? It is a great inspiration to
faith and service. God is ready so
to encourage us—He is the same to
day as He was when He sent Peter
to Cornelius. Are we willing to run
His errands, proclaim His message?
To do so we need
III. An Appreciation of God’s
Word (v. 16).
The best way to learn the mean
ing of God’s Word is to use it, live it,
obey it. “If any man will do his
will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God” (John 7:17).
Peter had learned anew that God’s
Word meant just what it said. We
who are God’s servants should be
lieve His Word and act on it in faith.
Observe that Cornelius had gath
ered a group in his household to hear
the Word of God (Acts 10:27, 33).
Could we not do the same? “Can
not each calculate with exactness
some time and place where the gos
pel is to be preached, and is it not
possible to bring thither one’s rela
tives and friends? Secondly, when
present in a place of worship, can
not each be prepared to say, ‘We are
all here present’—all, family and
friends, mind as well as body; ‘in
the sight of God’—not to be seen by
others, not conscious so much of
others as of the presence of God; ‘to
hear all things’—not to be amused
or to sleep; ‘that have been com
manded thee of the Lord’—not to
listen to human conjecture or the ex
ploiting of doubts, but to receive a
positive message which is delivered
in a reverent spirit and with the
prophetic formula: ‘Thus saith the
Lord.’ What would happen were all
Christian churches filled with such
audiences?” (Charles R. Erdman).
This brings us to what is most im
portant of all in broadening our
spiritual horizons.
IV. An Understanding of God’s
Love (vv. 17, 18).
God’s love is for all people. Since
He has not raised any barriers of
race, creed, color, class, or social
position, it is not for His followers,
and assuredly not for His servants,
to set up hindering restrictions
which He does not countenance. If
God intended to save Gentiles, Peter
wanted to be an instrument in His
hand, not a hindrance in His way.
One of the needs of our day is that
those doing God’s work should not
withstand Him and His love. He
who is the same yesterday, today,
and forever, is ready to work as
powerfully today as He did in the
days of Peter and Paul, or of Finney
and Moody. Let us give Him liberty
to work in and through us, not as we
may wish, but as He desires. Who
are we that we should withstand
God?
Goal of Life
Oh, yet we trust that, somehow,
Good will be the final goal of ill,
That nothing walks with aimless
feet,
That not one life shall be destroyed.
Or cast as rubbish to the void.
When God has made the pile com
plete.—Tennyson.

Even tables and lamp shades

is to make something out of next
to nothing by slip-covering it. A
smart coffee table from a camp
stool for instance.
The lower sketch shows how to
make a substantial removable top
for the stool. The 2-inch boards
which are screwed to all four
sides of the top fit down over the
stool. Flowered chintz is used for
the top of the cover and a plain
3-inch glazed chintz frill is added
repeating one of the tones in the
flower pattern. The seam allow
ance around the cover may be
tacked to the removable top of the
table and the whole thing may
then be folded away in a small
space when not in use.
