Editor Social Corner: Would like to help Perplexed, if I can. My problem is much the same as hers, and I admi: it is not an easy one. To begin with, it must be remembered that it is not w to economize at the expense of one's health, and that an underfed man cannot do good work, besides breaking down the system and making it more susceptible to disease So I do not think it wise to eliminate meat en- tirely from the bill of fare. Instead. I would cut out entirely tea, coffee, cake, pies, rich puddings, the ex- pensive cuts of meat, eg; unless very cheap, an the ready cooked cereals and bakers goods. Then with milk, vegetables, a small amount of fat salt pork, cheap cuts of -meat, or low priced fsh, various Kkinds of bread, oatmeal, rice, etc., substantial and satisfying menus may be easily planned. Baked beans, stewed beans, succotash, pea soup, clam, corn or fish chowder, hasi, potatoes and meat gravy, soup, vegetable siew, and New England boiled dinners, are not very expensive, and with bread may form the entire dinner, a simple dessert be- ing added if desired. Enough should be cooked for dinner to Le repeated next morning, and that with bread, and either oatmeal, corn- meal or e mush, served with milk high priced fish, and sugar, will settle the breakfast problem.

Dear Iditor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: So many of the sisters have written so many nice letters of h®ne, thought I would say a few words regarding home. Yes, home should be the most sacred spot in this beautiful world of ours, but how many, many unhappy homes are there? Do you ever stop to think? I know of one instance where the moth- er and wife is a very hard working woman—works hard late and early and strives eve way to get along. Her husband—if he might be called a husband—drinks, oh! so hard; scarcely a day but he has drink of some kind; and spends his money for it that should go for his family ‘expenses. Still that patient wife murmurs not a word, but tries to have his meals ready for him when he comes in. There are three children, and oftentimes they lack for the bare necessities of life. You would be surprised on entering that home— what a cheerful reception that wife will give you. Always a pleasant She has often been asked why she don’t get a divorce from sueh a man.

To a <ollege professcr of our ac- quaintance who was suffering from: a severe attack of nervous prostration, a doctor once said: “Go south and st for a month or two.” Today he is a well man, and in telling of this in one of his books he writes: “Southward (to Florida) I went, but my rest was mainly taken in the great hospital of nature—the wocds and fields of the region where I sojourned.” How many times have I said tha: I must get out in the fresh air to s2e ‘f my headacne would leave me—and when waves of werries vould seem to engulf me drep them all and walk and feel as Jonathan Edwards did when he wrote: “Surely there is something in the unruffled ealm of nature that overawes our little anxie- ties and doubts, the sight of the deep blue skies and the clustering stars above see to impart a quiet to the mind.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: 1 have read with interest all that has reen said about home in this Corner, and M. Roena presentad to us a word cture which showed that home is iransient and has no permanent endur- ance except in the heart The home n[ childhood and the home of maturi ars broken up and swept awayv by the laws of nature; and love meets griel and the beauties of life seem to fade away, and the world looks dark, un- less we have kept faith alive and the light of hopa aflame. It is for us to see God in life, so we can sing: “Just a bit of green a-grow- ing, but enough for me to see the hand of God a-working and a-doing things for me,” and then we shall feel God within us and come to look with con- fidefice to “mansions in the skies"— the homes not made with hands, eter- nal in the heavens. Let us get insp ration from the old English song “All for the best, be sanguine and cheerful, troubles and sorrows are friends in disguise; nothing but folly goes faith- less and fearful, courage forever is Lappy and wise.” Some of the experiences of M. Roena have been mine—thz home which seemed hallowed by family associa- tions is in the hands of aliens who know mothing of its history, but I have never lost the picture of its comforts or its glory from my heart. Fill mem- with the right nd of lifa pictures and the heart will find no room for gloom. The visible and the invisible belong to us. RUTH. TTTTPP 13-T ETA RELATIVE FOOD VALUES. Editor Social Corner: It is a bad| habit of thought which makes people think meat is the most nutritious and sustaining food and that health and even lifz depend upon it. (hemical analyses have shown that porterhouse steak contained 60 per cent. water; and all meats and fish contain a high per- centage of water as well as vegetablas, while butter contains only 11 per cent. and the edible nut meats less than 11 per cent.. hence tha food value of the Lest porterhouse steak is 1,110 while that of butrer is 3,605, and English walnut meats 3.300. The nutritious quality of butter is three times as great as that of porterhouse steak, and over seven times as nutritious as any | kind of fish. This is what makes bread and butter the recognized staff of life. The nopular idea of the sus- taining qualitles of food is very er- roneous. Rroiled chicken has a food value of 505 while broiled pork chons are 1,580-—or three times as valuable for fcod This is a subject it pays one to study. THE CRANK. Norwich. PANSY SENDS GREEN TOMATO PIE RECIPE. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I wish' to thank Isabelle for her recipe for canned string beans. I have tried it, and hope they will keep all right. She did not say how much salt to put in the water. I made it so as to taste quite salt. Was that all right? Bee: I have tried 'your racipe for canning corn, and also gave it to one | | of my neighbors. who tried it. This was my first experience in canning | corn. Hope it will be successful. % Ma: What do you feed your chick- ens on_ after they are two or three months 0ld?. Mine like steamed oats the best. They will not eat cracked | ccrn very well unless it is mixed with rmeal and moistened a little. What do you give for indigestion in fowl? Two of my chickens have been sick with what I called indigestion, as there was food in the crop which remained there for several days. I gave two or three doses of castor oil and they got better in a few days. The first case was quite a while ago, and the chick has geemed well ever since then. It was not what 1 should call crop-bound, as the crop was not full, and the chicks seemzd to have a sort of diarrhoea at the time. I have an excellent recipe for Mock ce Pie made with green tomatoes shich I would lika to send the Sisters, for if the frost took their gardens as it did ours I think they may have some green tomatoes to use TLast vear I made up quite a lot of this and canned it, which was very handy to make pies of when wanted without any trouble for preparation. Mock Mirce Pie—One pint greén to- matoes chopped, one quart apples chop- ped, these ingredients to be chopped before being measured, two cups sugar, one cup molasses, one cup raisins, one teaspoon salt, ane teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one-half cup vine- gar, one tablespoon butter, three ta- blespoons of flour. Boil one-half hour. Enough for four pi I use a little more sugar and less molasses, which I like better, as it is not quite as strong. PANSY. Norwich. A MISTAKE.

So many things have been written that I have wanted to respond te, but I have not béen well and writing has been so hard. Hebron Widow's appeal, however, impels me to say to her: Sister dear, I have so much faith in what one can do for children by expecting the best from them. Thus it would naturally eome about that in your prayers you will be asking for the best for them. You will often ask that they may be kept from evil, but more often be earnestly praving that they may be tha means of helping others to do the right and so mmake this world better for their living in it. Then, knowing that Jesus is our sal- vation and our example, they will be interested, perhaps, to be reminded that He loves the church and that He attended the synagogues when He was on the earth. Tell them: *“We can learn more about Jesus and how to do and be the best if we go to church and Sunday school, than we can if we stay away Of course, you go to church and Sundd\ school with them, if possible. rou are not too busy to get the le'\. n ahead of time, you might make an occasion to talk with them a little about it if they do, or if they do not like to study it.
