Send (or 'Tlio Vltul Question" (Cook Hook, illustrated lu colors,) tVo. Address The NATURAL FOOD CO. NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. 1 regulated so as to' conform to the sea son's change In order to make a perfect dlot, wo may readily understand tho chief reasons why so many, who make their so-called attempts to adopt a "vegetarian" diet, fail so utterly. In making tho trials one must take Into consideration that not only is it neces sary to understand tho digestion and pioper assimilation ot vegetable foods, but they must know how to adjust diet to their needs, making allowance for their Individual idiosyncrasies; and having ascertained to a reasonable cer tainty what kind and amount of food materials are required, they must not overtax, weaken or impair the diges tive powers by eating too great a quan tity of food, or that which Is so imper fectly cooked as to be unfit for proper assimilation. We have quite sufficient evidence to convince us that a large per cent, of ordinary diseases is caused by exces sive meat eating, by which excess we not only waste a large amount of tissue-forming foods, but overburden tho kidneys. The imperfect elimination of this excess, or of the dead tissues of the body by the kidneys is so marked In results, that it is strange that we do not take greater care to prevent the possibility of disease arising from this source. Results just as dangerous and unpleasant may follow a. vegetable as a meat diet when one indulges In an ex cess of any one of tho important food elements found in this class of foods. This is very noticeable when the starches and sugars arc taken In too great proportion to other parts. The imperfect oxidation of starches and sugar; tho bolting down of badly cooked starchy vegetables, such as po tatoes, 1.4 sure to disturo any digestive functions and absolutely certain to bring disagreeable results to an acid stomach. Meals in tho average house hold usually contain an excess, if not an extravagant amount of starch; this with tho sugar and fats which are in variably added throws tho diet too far out of balance, and even when the di gestion of every one is quite normal, discomfort is suro to follow. When meats are entirely avoided it is most Imperative that one study the nature of vegetable foods more closely, for by tho elimination of these tissue-forming foods wo are in danger of Increasing the percentage of starch in the diet without a corresponding increase in tho vegetable food properties which will replace like properties in the tabooed meats. Most people who attempt the vegetarian diet without the clear understanding- of the nature of foods which are ranked in this class, go too far In substituting starch for meat, In tend of trying the meat counterpart, wheat, and Us clo3o allies, the nuts. Many people would most undoubted ly enjoy bettor heath If they would adhere strictly to a correct vegetable diet and there is not the slightest dan ger ot their not being well and proper Seasonable The human body is built out of the food eaten. A weak ness in the constitution means that one or more elements of the body have not been nourished sufficiently or have been over-nourished at the expense of other elements.

"If the stomach only Bccretes a mall amount of acid and pepsin, and the pancreatlo digestion la good, vegotablo foods will ngroo much better than meatfl." Whllo wo have shown that starchy foods in large quantities, or out of pro portion to other principles aro harmful in a great many cases In most cases, wo may say nd particularly hurtful to those who have strongly acid stom achs and weak pancreatlo digestion, this fact does not In any wise crimi nate tho vegetable gluten supplied by wheat, peas and beans, which, If prop erly treated, agree with Invalids better than meat, unless perhaps, thero are somo very peculiar Individual condi tions, which are possible, but not common, Bean Fluff. Cover one pint of dried white beans with two of warm water; add a tea spoonful of salt; and simmer gently for an hour. When they are soft, drain them carefully and press through a colander, allowing the hulls to remain In tho colander. While hot add a tablespoonful of butter, a seasoning of salt and pepper to suit the taste. Beat until light, and add two tablespoonfuls of mlllc or cream, and the well-beaten whites of two eggs; turn into a baking dish and bake in a moderately quick oven thirty minutes. Serve from tho dish In which tho fluff is baked. Curry of Beans. Chop one medium-sized onion and fry a golden brown In a tablespoonful of butter; add one teaspoonful of curry powder and two teaspoonfuls of milk and mix smooth; add one quart of baked beans, and the juice of half a lemon and just a zest of tho grated yellow peel. When steaming hot, dish in a border of boiled rice. Bean Panaches. Take two cups of siring beans, fresh or canned; cut into inch lengths; two cups of white beans, two tablespoonfuls of butter, juice of one lemon, one table spoonful of minced parsley, salt to taste. Boll tho two kinds of beans tender in separate vessels; drain off the water, put the beans together in a saucepan; add to them the butter, lem on, salt and parsley, stir until thor oughly heated and serve. Potatoes a la Custard. Peel and boil six largo white pota toes; drain very dry and make smooth and creamy, season with salt, pepper and butter and a little cream; press through a colander so that it will fall evenly and light as snowflakes into the dish; beat one egg well; and add to half a cup of milk and pour over the top; bake fifteen minutes in a moderately hot oven. It should look like a golden brown custard when tak en from the oven. Spiced Sweet Potatoes. Boil the potatoes the day befoie us ing; peel while hot and when cold slice them rather thick. In the bottom of a baking dish put bits of butter; sprlnklo sugar over the butter; place on this a layer of potatoes. Alternate with but ter, sugar and potatoes until the dish is full. Cover tho top with butter, sugar and a teaspoonful of ground cin namon, cloves and nutmeg mtxed; pour over it a cup of water. Put it In the oven and after it begins to bake, mois ten it once or twice with a little butter and hot water to dissolve the sugar so as to prevent its drying on the top of the potatoes. To make this dish very nice you must use a cup of sugar and a cup of butter to two quarts of pota toes. Bako in a moderate oven. Panned Onions, Creole Style. Split oyster crackers in half. Butter a deep dish and line it with a layer of the crackers. Sprinkle chopped Span ish or Bermuda onions over the crack ers; then pepper and salt; then spread with a very thin layer of tomatoes, aa the flavor of the onion must predomi nate In this dish. Continue to alter nate the materials until the pan is full, having tomatoes on top. Add sufficient quantity of milk to come nearly to the top of tho pan and cover with buttered bread crumbs. Bako one hour. This Is a delicious dish to servo with turkey or chicken. Hold-over Tomatoes and Bice. If you have a little left-over tomato left from dinner this Is a dainty way of utilizing It.

Omit the cardamon seed if tho flavor 1.4 not liked. Hose-tinted Celery. Take the very tender inside stalks of blanched celery; cut into inch length pieces and soak in tho juice of very red cranberries until the delicate shade of pink Is obtained; shred one end of each piece of the celery If you wish to have it look like llowers. Mix this with crisp white celery prepared in the same manner, or arrange separately in little nests of tender green lettuce leaves. Serve with a plain French dressing. INQUIRIES ANSWERED. Mrs. A. B.

And now a word about our system of selling for credit. The word credit has a horror for some people, but as ap plied here it means convenience, comfort, luxury it does not mean the placing of the yoke of debt about, your neck. It is simply placing at your disposal the enjoyment of a beautiful Piano or Organ, giving you the lowest possible price and permitting you to pay for it in small weekly or monthly sums that are easily within your reach. It would' be as reasonable to consider your advance rent as an obnoxious debt as to misconstrue a purchase made under our equitable credit system. 3 G&J? M 314 to v v bmJmkd JHwn m .
