COLD ROAST BEEF
FREQUENTLY, when the days seem
darkest and troubles roll in upon
you like the storming waves of the sea,
trying their best to overwhelm you,
sunny-faced Hope is hovering near,
ready to rescue you at your bidding.
Thousands of wehry souls on the
very threshold of discouragement,
about to yield to the crushing weight
of their burdens, have at the last mo
ment resolutely resolved to stand up
and make a new tight.
This resolution, in perhaps the most
trying hour of their lives, marked the
turning-point In their careers.
They found a new courage which
carried them on and on, carrying them
safely through their hardest battles,
where they fought inch by inch until
the shout of victory stirred their
hearts, warmed their blood and cleared
their vision.
From doubting Thomases they be
came sanguine Pauls, tilled with the
spirit of faith.
They saw new visions and dreamed
new dreams.
They had strength of their own In
stead of that borrowed from others,
which through adversity they soon
learned how to use to advantage.
Such are the men ami women who
today are making a better world for
all mankind.
There is nothing too hlg for them
to undertake, no loud too heavy for
them to carry, no troublesome hills
over which they cannot blaze an eaay
path for the less confident to follow.
Leaders In their chosen fields of la
bor, they take part in the boldest and
noblest adventures, never growing
weary of well-doing, never faltering by
the wayside, never declining to lend
a helping hand to the earnest, strug
gling In their first effort.
They think, plan, organize, achieve
and create, while those without hope,
hesitate, draw back, afraid to step up
In the clearer, Invigorating air and
wage the battle with alert hrains, hard
sinewed arms and hearts unafraid.
They turn stubborn dllhVulties Into
willing servants, surmount Impending
obstacles, write their names on the
eternal skies, and call lustily to the
new generations to gird their armor,
accept Hope as their captain until the
end of their days.

IN A small family a roast of any
size will last too long to be enjoyed
more than three times. The following
are some suggestions for using left
over roast :
Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches.
For four good-sized sandwiches pre
pare one cupful of brown sauce, or
use the gravy left from the roast,
adding to it, when hot, one tablespoon
ful of finely minced sour pickle. Cut
very thin as many slices of rare roast
beef as needed. Cream two table
spoonfuls of butter and add to It one
quarter of a teuspoonful of made mus
tard. Spread the bread with this. Dip
the slices of beef Into the hot sauce
and place them on the bread. Sprinkle
with a very little-crushed cold bacon
before putting on the slice of bread.
Serve on a hot platter, pouring the
boiling sauce over all.
For a supper dish, sliced cold roast
beef Is an excellent and well-liked
way of serving the meat. Sliced very
thin nnd garnished with cress or
parsleys It is especially attractive in
appearance.
Beef Pie.
Cut cold roast beef Into Inch-square
pieces, using two cupfuls. Put into a
quart baking dish and season with one
half teuspoonful of salt, a little pep
per, one tablespoonful of tomato cat
sup or one-third cupful of cooked, sea
soned tomatoes. Pour over the meat
one cupful of liquid, using equal
quantities of gravy and hot water.
Cover with a crust of baking powder
biscuit dough. Cut into the form of
biscuit, which leaves openings for the
steam to escape.
Dark Steamed Pudding.
Take one cupful of finely chopped
beef suet, one cupful of molasses, one
cupful of cold water, two cupfuls of
flour, one teuspoonful of soda, one
half teaspoonful of salt, two toasp'oon
fnls of cinnamon, nnd one of cloves.
Sift all the dry Ingredients, and mix
thoroughly.. Steam three hours nnd
serve with a hard sauce.
