by good food. There wouldn't be so many
generally Objectionable heroines on and off
the stageif they would sit down and eat q
proper dinner before they had the inter-
view with the hero, and if every body ate
deccntly cooked and properly selected
dishes, one-half of the world would not be
90 fretfui and the other half wouldn't be so
selfish.
] don't believe people can be immoral
who eat 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 let's
this island of indigestion float around in
sea of ice- W ater is simply ripe for crimes
of all sorts. This IS my fad. l don't col
lect autographs; don't care continental
for crazy quilts; everybody can so to
heaven their own way; but l do insist that
every human being has the right to be
fed well. Ana proper feeding includes
proper service and pleasant company.
Now, look at itjust 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
and il is only cross when the mother, who
has charge of that food, gets out of temper
herself, or eats something that really isn't
good, and causes the baby's dinner to dis
agree with it As it gets older and the little
teeth begin to come. and the little
body gets stronger. there Is a bit of bread.
and then some delicate soup, and after
WHILE some day. there is a chickcn-bone
for the young gentleman. In time it gets
piece of meat. finely cut up, and If you
were watching you would see that it
pushes away the overdone pieces of beef.
and selects those that are very rare. lt
will grab q rose-leaf and try and eat lt.
Do you know what it wanJsy The body is
claiming some crosses. or seine lettuce, or
something green, tender and fresh. Your
boy baby can give you points on what TO
eat which your older boy can't. because
you have perverted his taste. You have
educated HIM mp to too many sweets; he
has taught himself the delights or q large,
green. sour pickle.
He is gwen for his luncheon huge piece
of Die. an orange and the money to buy
some candy.
What he really ought to have is o really
rightly sand wich-two of them. Not just
two Jumps of bread, with dab of butter
on each. and thick lump of meat between,
but two slices of bread cut from large
home made loaf. ana having the crust care
fully pared oil; then each should be smooth
ly buttercd. and the beef, or ham.
or mutton, or chicken, or what
ever it is that you select. should be
minced up and come between the bread.
No boy ever refuses TO eat 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 a little pastebcard
box that can TO thrown away when the
luncheon Is eaten. Put in a nice, little
you know is good. A bit of cake, II You
like. and the orange, by all means. But.
in educsting your boy, look out for the
things yon give him TO eat, and then he
will not start out in the race of life handi-,
capped by bad digestion and q worse
temper.
What do think people ought to eatf
think they ought to eat beef and mutton so
underdone that when the knife sticks In
either the blood spurts out.
think they ought to eat chicken ana
lamb. and ham roasted just to point. and
not baked to destruction.
think they ought TO eat green sala de,
dressed with GOOD vinegar and plenty OF
oil. and having with them q bit Of cheese
to give the desired flavor.
/ think they ouRht TO eat fruit whenever
they can, but / think iJ ought to be eaten
In such q way that the seeds and the skins
of the fruit are never swallowed.
think they ought to drink coffee and
tea il they like them. provided they are
we'll made.
Think they ought to eat any sweet they
fancy, In moderation, but | do not think
they ought to insult their stomachs with
ices after warm dinner.
think they ought 20 eat verything
that is good. provided il is well
cooked. And good cooking means nothing
greasy. nothing watery and nothing about
which one is in doubt.
This sounds like the rules and regulations
for good health. i am not reformer; /
never had one Of their hideous underwear
things on in my life, but DO believe that
If we want good men, strong men, honest
men and loving men we have got TO feed
them well. And think what is sauce for
the gander Is sauce for the goose. Dir.
Gander, you agree with that goose.
