Curtaining Windows
To Increase Width
By RUTH YVYETH SPEARS
A READER living on a rural
route in South Dakota writes
me: "My parlor is 16 by 14 feet
and has an 8 foot ceiling. Right
in the center of the 16 foot wall
arc two windows, each 6 feet high
and 3 feet wide. They are only 1
foot apart and 1 foot from the
:eiling. How should I curtain
hese windows? Should the drapes

cover the 1 foot space between
them? How long should they be?
Would you extend the drapes
nearer the ceiling? I have been
advised to do this.-?S. A."
These questions are nice and
definite and all dimensions are
given. A scale drawing was made
a little larger than the one shown
here; 'i inch to a foot. This
showed immediately that the windows
needed to look wider rather
tiian higher. By framing them
with a valance and side drapes to
the floor they are made into a unit
of pleasing proportions.

PAUL CROSSES INTO EUROPE
LESSON TEXT ?Acts 15 36; lt> 4-15.
GOLDEN TEXT?And after he had seen
the vision, immediately vie endeavored to
go Into Macedonia -Acts 16:10
Guidance is the moment by moment
need of every man and woman,
boy and girl. The whole of
life calls for decisions, many of
which look quite innocent and unimportant.
but upon which the destiny
of an entire life may turn.
Since the great issues of life may
turn on the simplest of choices, we
need guidance at every point in life. 1
This need has been recognized by \
tnose who would make merchandise
of their neighbors. Quacks and
charlatans offer guidance by every
method, from reading the palm,
looking at the stars, or consulting
the spirits, to those smug enterprises
which pose as spiritual and
talk much of prayer, but which do
not honor the name of Christ nor
recognize Him as Redeemer and
Lord.
One of the glories of the Christian
faith is that the believer is indwelt
by the third person of the Trinity,
the Holy Spirit Himself, who is
ready and willing to give divine
guidance in every detail of life from
the smallest to the greatest.
We study today the coming of the
gospel into Europe, and that means
through our forefathers to America.
We consider what from our viewpoint
was a crucial point in the history
of the Church. Thanks be to
Sod that His servant Paul was in
that hour obedient to the guidance
of the Holy Spirit. Observe that
the gospel came to Europe
I. By Providential Hindrance (15:
36; 16:4-8).
Not only the steps, but also the
stops of a good man arc ordered of
the Lord. That is not an easy lesson
to learn. We may be as much
in the will of the Lord when all of
our efforts seem to be thwarted as
when they prosper. Let us not for'
get it.
Paul had set out on a second journey
to carry out a follow-up campaign
in the cities where he had al
?L-J TU. ? ?
i uauj pjcdLiini. iuia Wiis a gooa
plan and had God's blessing (see
v. 5). But soon we find that word
"forbidden" (v. 6) and then "suffered
not" (v. 7). The Holy Spirit
began to close doors to the gospel
preacher. Now what? Shall he go
on in determined self-will? Or shall
he become discouraged and embittered
in his soul? No, let him wait,
for God is guiding him by providential
hindrance, which is soon to
be followed
II. By Divine Guidance (16:9, 10). 1
The Spirit spoke to Paul in a i
vision revealing the divine purpose !
that the gospel should go over into
Macedonia. The Spirit leads in our
day, possibly not by visions, but by
impelling inward prompting complemented
and checked by the
teaching of Scripture and by providential
circumstances, and a man
may know what is the will of God.
A word of caution is needed at
this point. Some earnest Christian
people go astray by projecting their
own desires and purposes into the
place where they come to regard
them as the will of God, and thus
do themselves and others, and
Christianity itself much harm.
III. Through a Faithful Witness
(vv. 11-14).
The gospel came to Europe because
Paul and his fellow workers
were faithful to their calling. When
God led, they went to Macedonia
(w. 11, 12), where they sought out
muse wnu were in ine piace Ol
prayer (v. 13). Paul spoke to them
about Christ (v. 14). It is one thing
to have a vision, it is another thing
to be obedient to that vision (Acts
26:19). There are some who talk 1
much of their consecration to God,
but who give little evidence of it.
IV. Through a Receptive Heart
(vv. 14, 15).
God sent an obedient messenger
to the place where He had a prepared
heart (v. 14). Space forbids
much reference to this godly, successful
business woman and housemother,
but we do note that she
not only received the Word of God
into her own heart, but at once
gave herself to the task of passing
it on. The first thing she could do
was to give aid and comfort to the
messenger of the truth, and she did
that at once. Be assured that from
that day on she did ail she could
to prosper the gospel on its way
through Europe and to the ends of
the earth. Have we done likewise?

WHAT <
C. Houston Goudiss Expic
About Food; Warns J
Fallacies and
By C. HOUST'
IT HAS been well said that a
ous thing. This is particul
half-truths can be more misl<
There should be no place f(
or superstition in a matter so v
judging from the letters that c
homemakers are being influ-?
enced, not by scientific knowl- j
edge, but by "old wives
tales," and a multitude of
fads and fancies which there
is not a shred of scientific
evidence to support.
Some food fallacies are harmless.
Others may be detrimental
to health. For they result ir. an
unbalanced diet that deprives the
body of substances needed to
maintain physical efficiency at the
highest possible level.
Misinformation About Meat
Many common and persistent
fallacies concern the eating of
meat. It is wrongly
charged that light
meats are more
^ wholesome than
dark meats . . .
that veal is not
i I completely digest|
* JB. M ed . . . that meat
is a contributing
cause to disease,
and many other
Mffr equally foolish noK"H
tions. All these
misconceptions are
in a class with the absurd ideas
that eating turnips will make you
brave, that lettuce is a cure for
insomnia, or iish a food for the
brain.
There is no evidence to support
the belief that some meats are
less desirable than others because
they are less completely digested.
Tests show that the length of time
meat remains in the stomach varies
with such factors as the quantity
of fat present, the method of
cooking, and the amount of chewing
it receives. But there is no
marked difference in the thoroughness
with which the different kinds
of meats are digested.
Erroneous Ideas About Cheese
Other fallacies that continually
crop up in my mail are the ideas
that cheese is constipating, and
that this good food is not completely
digestible. Neither belief is in
accordance with the facts.
Numerous tests have shown that
when cheese is given a proper
place in the diet, it is usually well
digested. Moreover, it has been
demonstrated that there is practically
no difference between
cheese and meat with respect to
ease of digestion.
As for the completeness with
which this food is utilized by the
body, studies made by investigators
for the United States department
of agriculture, demonstrat
V. 1 4Vi A r.n rl Krtnf OR
cu mac uii uic avciagc, auuui
per cent of the protein and over
95 per cent of the fat of cheese
were digested and absorbed!
Some few persons may have an
allergy to cheese just as they are
sensitive to a variety of other protein
foods. But that is an abnormal
reaction and has no bearing
on the use of cheese by persons
in normal health.
Cheese Is Not Constipating
The mistaken idea that cheese
is constipating doubtless arose
from poor menu planning. Cheese
is a highly concentrated food. It
enjoys the distinction of being the
most concentrated source of protein
known. Because of this fact,
menus containing cheese should
be balanced by the inclusion of
foods containing bulk or cellulose.

ome to my desk, thousands of
such as fruits, vegetables or whole
grain breads. When these ioods
are omitted, it is not the presence
of cheese, but the absence
of bulk that is responsible for the
meal being insufficiently laxative.
Homemakers who have the interests
of their families at heart
will banish the notion that cheese
is either constipating or difficult
to digest when properly used.
They will give this splendid food
a fPffnlnr nlnno ir? fknle
and thereby provide valuable
nourishment at a most economical
cost. It is doubtful if any other
food provides such a variety of
important nutrients concentrated
in such a small space. Besides
its fine quality protein, cheese is
notable for its energy values, for
supplying the minerals, calcium
and phosphorus, needed for teeth
and bones, and as a source of
vitamin A.
Don't Make Mistakes About Milk
Not even milk has escaped a
variety of groundless superstitions.
It is said to be "fattening"
when the truth of the matter is
that no food is fattening unless
consumed in excess of bodily
needs. The food faddists say that
fruits and milk must never be taken
at the same meal, for the
fruit acids will cause the milk to
curdle. Here is an outstanding
example of the misleading effect
of half-truths. For it is a physiological
fact that milk is always
curdled in the stomach by the
action of the hydrochloric acid!
Some people are afraid to eat
acid-tasting fruits because they
have the erroneous idea that they
produce "acidity" in the body. In

Correct Constipation
Before?Not After!
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of emergency relief. Why let
yourself suffer those dull lifeless
days because of constipation, why
bring on the need for emergency
medicines, when there may be a
far better way? That way Is to
KEEP regular by getting at the
cause of the trouble.
If it's common constipation,due
to lack of "bulk" in the diet, a
pleasant, nutritious, rcady-to-eat
cereal?Kellogg's All-Bran?goes
straight to the cause by supplying
the "bulk" you need.
Eat this crunchy toasted cereal
every day?with milk or cream, or
baked into muffins?drink plenty
of water, and see if you don't forget
all about constipation. Made
