spoonful of vinegar. Pour it over the
beets and serve.
MILK AS A SUMNER DIET. very i'm
pOrtant element of summer diet is milk,
but it must be taken in moderation and
carefully. Drink it slowly in small
mouthfuls, and if there is any tendency to
dyspepsia, beat the milk few moments TO
break the butter glObules and render it
easy of digestion SKINNED milk or fresh
buttermilk are infinitely preferable to ice
water as cooling and refreshing summer
drinks Ice-water dyspepsia is a COM
plant which is very general, though its
cause is but little understood
