Potatoes, Teamed With Eggs, Are a Delicious Meat-Saver (See Recipes Below.)

plan for the days ahead —days when she neatly tucks her meat ration book beside her sugar ration books and goes to market. Sugar rationing has been a challenge, but a challenge which homemakers have met. Meat rationing will be even more of a challenge—for many are the homes where meat has been set on the table twice and even three times a day. But this challenge, too, will be met, for there are many ways of tiding over the days when meat supplies will be low. Let’s first look at the situation from the nutritional standpoint, for good health and well-being is a first goal. Meat is primarily preferred because it is what is known as a complete protein—containing all different types of proteins that the body needs for building and repairing down-and-out tissues. The sources for protein you’ll tap first are fish and fowl, cheese and milk. We have excellent supplies of all these so there will be no excuse for missing out on your quota. Meat is excellent for its minerals, but the meat-savers mentioned above are also famous for their minerals—calcium, phosphorus and iron. Now, let’s get down to the business of serving these foods appetiz-

ingly and attractively. Fall is the season for many kinds of fish—and your butcher will help you out on what’s a real bargain. Canned fish is now somewhat

scarce, but fresh-frozen fillets are easy-to-use items, minus the cooking odor which many find objectionable. Try this idea: Fillets in Tomato Sauce. (Serves 6 to 8) 2 pounds fish fillets (halibut, perch, pike, whitefish, salmon) 2 cups tomato pulp 1 cup water 6 whole cloves 2 bay leaves " 6 peppercorns teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar Place fish on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pep-

Lynn Says: The Score Card: The question is being asked these days as to how much meat will actually be allowed per person in the civilian Share-the-Meat program. The answer is 2>A pounds, which means meat as it is passed over the counter to you by the butcher—including meat, bone, gristle and fat. Meats with little waste include the highly nutritious cuts like liver, heart, kidneys, sweetbreads and brains. Canned meat, sausage, scrapple, souse and similar products will not be subject to restrictions. Fall fruit specials still include apples, grapes, pears, and delightful persimmons — good for canning or for puddings. Cranberries are brightening counters and menus. Squash, pumijkin and sweet potatoes are holding their own, and here and there peek spinach, broccoli and brussels sprouts. With less foods to choose, the smart homemaker will season to the best of her ability those she has. There "is mustard grown here in our own country, and paprika, too. Cayenne from Louisiana, and chili, American grown, are earning a fine place on the cook’s spice shelf.

Improved | SUNDAY International II SCHOOL LESSON -- By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Os The Moody. Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Lesson for November 22 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission j MOTIVES THAT STRENGTHEN FAMILY LIFE LESSON TEXT—Exodus 2:1-4; Joshua 24:14, 15; Ephesians 5:28-31; 6:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT—Love never faileth.— I Corinthians 13:8. Last week we saw the things which mar the life of the family, now we turn to those things which give strength to the home and to daily life. This is a lesson much needed just now when so much of our normal home life is thrown out of joint. We begin at the right place when we say that there must be a I. Recognition of God in the Home (Exod. 2:1-4; Josh. 24:14, 15). Failure at this point is without question the great mistake of our day. Christianity touches every phase of life, but nowhere is its blessed influence of greater importance than in the home. Our lesson suggests that this is to be done in two ways in our homes. 1. By Faith in God (Exod. 2:1-4). The story of the birth of the babe who was to be Moses, possibly the greatest civic, social and religious leader of all time, reminds us that the Jewish people, who had found favor in the eyes of the Pharaohs in Joseph’s time, were now being persecuted. A decree had gone out that all boys were to be destroyed at birth. Here were two parents faced with the awful fact that their baby boy was condemned to death. Did they weep in fear and despair? No, they trusted God and sent the little one forth on a venture of faith, the charming story of which follows the verses of our lesson. God honored their faith by using their enemies to serve them. — 2. Service fur God (Josh. 24:14, 15). Joshua, who followed Moses as the God-appointed leader of Israel, was giving his last admonition to his people. He knew how they had repeatedly turned from God in unbelief and sin; yes, that even now some were worshiping false gods. He pleads with them to turn to the one true God, but notice that his plea is made effective by the fact that he and his house were serving the Lord. Every man who has a position of leadership in this world is responsible for the use of that plate of power, as a testimony for God. Now and then we hear of a high public official in our own land who loves and serves Christ in sincerity, and our hearts rejoice. The faith of a whole nation may thus be strengthened. Every one of us has a sphere of influence, ami our family life counts for or against God in our own community and among our own friends. The members of a family that recognize God have a high 11. Regard for One Another in the Home (Eph. 5:28-31; 6:1-4). It is pure hypocrisy for the family to parade an outward show of religion which does not effectively touch the relationships within the home. Incidentally, it is the kind of hypocrisy which is strikingly in J effective—men see through it too easily. What then does Christianity do for the home itself? It determines, directs, sweetens —yes, glorifies the relation between 1. Husband and Wife (Eph. 5: 28-31). This passage puts rparriage on the highest plane, comparing it to the relationship between Christ and the church. Thus marriage is the joining of man and wife in a sacred union which calls forth love in its highest and noblest sense. This means that the husband cherishes his wife as his own body, against which no man would do any harm, and for which he makes every possible provision for its comfort, health, usefulness and attractiveness. Such love between parents will lead the entire home life along in a serene, happy and wholesome way. It will not only double tfie joy, but will give strength in the hour of sorrow, dividing the griefs and burdens of life. It will set the pattern for the right relation between 2. Parents and Children (Eph..6: 1-4). The first, and one might almost say the only, law of childhood is obedience. It is God’s way to ( joy and a satisfying life experience for the child in the Christian home. The command to obey carries with it the understanding that the parents are “in the Lord.” What father or mother is competent to direct a child apart from faith in Christ? Notice too, that the parent has an obligation to deal intelligently and kindly with the child. We need a great deal of improvement, and perhaps instruction, at that point. Authority asking obedience is necessary, but it can be wise and kind. Above all, there is to be a divine nurture, a guiding of the tender child life in the ways of God. Here is life's greatest opportunity and its mightiest challenge. How surprising that fathers (and mothers) who are looking for the greatest measure of usefulness to their generation fail to see it in the privilege they have to rear Intelligent, godly children.

Many folks say that almost as bad as constipation are harsh cathartics and purges.

Now comes news of a gentler and pleasanter way of treating constipation, for the millions of people with normal intestines whoso trouble Is due to lack of “bulk” In the diet. This way is by eating KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN, a crisp, delicious cereal, and , drinking plenty of water. ALL-BRAN, unlike many medicinal laxatives, acts principally on the contents of the colon and' helps you to have easy, normal elimination. ALL-BRAN is made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek.
