conscious of their warmth and glad that
it is pcrmeating your whole system. 1t
is almost worth while to go to Philadel-
phia for the sake Of supping on
THESE BE-pEvlLED GENTLEMEN,
and if you can do it in good company,
you will begin to inquire the rent of
house in Philadelphia. If you eat them
alone, you go out to look for the good
company afterwards, and you will never
be so selfish again, Life is much better
when it is supported by good food.
There wouldn't be so many generally
Objectionable heroines on and off the
stage if they would sit down and cat a
proper dinner before they had the inter-
view with the hero, and if everybody
ate decently cooked and properly Sc.
lected dishes, one-half of the world
would not be so fretful and the other
half wouldn't be 50 selfish.
don't believe people can be immoral
who cat properly; but the girl who fills
her stomach with too many sours and
too many sweets, meat that is too well
cooked, bread that is not cooked enough
and lets this island Of indigestion float
around in sea of ice water, is simply
ripe for crimes of all sorts. This is my
fad. | don't collect autographs; don't
care a continental for crazy quilts;
everybody can so to heaven their own
way; but ! do insist that every human
being has the right to be fed we'll. And
proper feeding includes proper service
and pleasant company.
OUR DARLING BABIES.
Now, look at it just this way. That
| little bit of bundle Of white, soft flesh,
| that has just come into the world, hasn't
any teeth, and not much of stomach;
and SO it lives on the food that God has
| given it, and it is only cross when the
mother, who has charge of that food,
| gets out of temper herself, or eats some
thing that really isn't good, and causes
the baby's dinner to disagree with it.
As it gets older, and the little teeth begin
to come,and the little body gets stronger,
there is bit of bread, and then some
delicate soup, and after awhile, some
day, there is a chicken bone for the
| young gentleman. In time it gets a
piece of meat, finely cut up, and if you
were watching you would see that il
| pushes away the overdone pieces Of
beef, and selects those that are very rare.
II will grab rose-leaf, and try and eat
it. Do you know what it wants The
body is claiming some crosses, or some
lettuce, Or something green, tender and
fresh. Your boy baby can give you
points on what to cat which your older
boy can't, because you have perverted
his taste. You have educated him up
to too many sweets; he has taught him
self the delights of a large, green, sour
pickle.
He is given for his luncheon huge
piece Of pie, an orange, and the money
to buy some candy.
OH, MOST FOOLISH OF MOTHERS
| What he really ought to have is a
really-righty sandwich-two Of them.
Not just two Jumps Of bread with dab
of butter on each, and Il thick lump Of
meat between, but two slices Of bread
cut from a large homemade loaf, and
having the crust carefully pared off
then each should be smoothly buttcrcd,
and the beef, or ham, or mutton, OF
chicken, or whatever it is that YOU
select, should be minced up and come
between the bread. No boy ever refuses
to cat sandwiches made like this.
Neither will any man, for that matter
Then, of course, you will have some
nice white paper TO wrap them in, and
they will go in little pasteboard box
that can be thrown away when the
luncheon is eaten. Put in nice, little
pickle-one you have made yourself
and you know is good, A bit OF cake
# you like, and the orange, by all
means. But, in educating your boy
look out for the things you give him t.
eat, and then he will not start out in tho
race Of life handicapped by bad digcs,
ton and worse temper
WHAT WE SHOULD EAT.
