Serving Toast,

Dry toast should be served directly
from the toaster. When this is not prac-
tical, pile it Oh a heated bread plate,
cover it with napkin and put it on
the hearth or in the oven. Toast is given
in all slight attacks of sickness because
it is so easily digested. The more thor
ough the conversion of the starch the
more easily and perfectly the system
will manage it, for the change of starch
INTO dcXtrinc by the action of heat is
simply doing outside of the body what
takes place III it, in the ordinary course
of digestion, by the action of the di-
gcstive fluids. Therefore when this is
accomplished by artificial means nature
is spared so much energy. -Philadel-
