EOgland, aud all the rest of the fat and

trseted from fat pork, fat beef, and super6ne
-four The nitrates aud phosphates of meats
and vegetables are partly insoluble and, there
fore, in soaking in cold water, all lose much
that is important, especially to the thinking
msu. In cold water, albumen is dissolved or
lost, but 10 alhumen is cOagulated, aud mostly
retained but iu hot water as well as cold,
the soluble phOsphates are lost. Neither fish,
nor meats, nor vegetables should, therefore,
ever be picked in brine, nor should they be
boiled, unless in little water, as in the ad>
mirable arrangement of ofZimmerman or Durc
klee, where all the soluble materials, as all
the favor, are retained in the water that is
necessary to keep up the sleam, and being
used as gravy or soup, all the elements ars
saved as nature intended.R
Ia roasting, or boiling, or, indeed, in any
manner Of cooking, care must be taken not
to burn up or otherwise destroy or lose ANY
of the juices of either vegetable or animal
food especially is this important for think
ing men, and for those whose digestion is
full-the power of the stomach, as well as
the power of the brain, being dependent on
soluble phosphorus. And especially is the
power Of the stomach dependent on the flavor
Of the food. Let any one try the experiment
Of cooking meats, fish, potatoes. carrots, tur-

same food cooked SO that all these elenents
are lost, and he will be astosished at the diff.

MUSCLE WORKERS.
The kinds OF food most wanted, be
cause eaten when not wanted, by the system,
are the most expensive. The article most
used when not wanted, is super6ne -four, out
Of which has been bVlted large portion Of
its nitrates aud phosphates. This being used
with butter and sugar, furnishes very little
bur heating material The next article on
which most money is expended and wasted,
J because most used with other articles con-
: tanning enough Of carbouaceous elements, is
butter, which contains not q particle Of
J strength or life giving material, and therefore
useless except with food deficient 10 carbon.
And another article most extensively used
, and for the same reason wasted Is sugar,
which, though useful with too acid fruits,
} and as part Of meal 10 which is too large
! proportion of nitrugeDous food, is worse
than useless in confectionery, cakes, &c, es-
! pecisllg if eaten between meals, ana when
7 food is not wanted, as it not only adds to the
, suveF6uous heat, but causes fermentation in
D the stomach aud bowels. and causes, or tends
: to cause, fatulenee, collie, dyspepsia, and the
thousand and one troubles of the digestive
: organs which we are apt to impute to green
: vegetables and fruit, when the fact is, these
r extra carbouaceous substances, in their pass
age ont of the system, embarass the digestion
OF natural food. aud cause it to give us these
: troubles and this is proved by the fact that
4 those who avoid these expensive and useless
e articles may eat as much as they choose oI
: green vegetables and fruits, and they give
1 them no aatuleuce. produce no Irritation.
' Our Puritan forefathers, who lived on
