INJURIOUS BREAD AND WATER.
Raw Bread and Ice Water Should Be
Banished from the Table.

New York World.J
Two mischievous things on the Amer
lean dining table should be 5anished-
raw bread and ice water.
The average woman when seated en-
CULTS several ounces CT ice cold water
and at once proceeds to devour wet
bread. Instantly the temperature OF
the alimentary canal is lowered, the
dough weighs on the stomach like lead
and. although nutritious foods may fol-
low, digestion is impe led by the lEGls-
soluble mass. This is u national habit,
and the result is a variety OF stomach
troubles bad teeth, bad complexion and
bad health. The only reason these az
ticles of diet do not kill is because the
people are used to them. Thsy 40 XII
about $4,000 young children every year
in New York city alone, and Foreigners
never succeed in mastering them.
1t is a question in the minds of the
most thought medical men whether raw
water is fit to be taken internally. Even
the majority in the profession advocate
as little as possible at meals. People
who live in the other hemisphere for
any length of time very soon get out of
the understanding habit and never re-
turn to it for the reason that they feel
better doing as the Turks, Romans and
Chinese do.
Bread, wet inside, is not fit to eat and
mo woman who values ner SOOd looks
or the physical welfare of her family
will serve it, Either have the bake
thoroughly cooked or slice and toast it.
Bread is largely starch, and that arti-
Gle. as everyb body knows, is hard to dis
solve. We put butter on rice and bread
and gravy on potatoes to supply the de-
ficiency of fat 1t will be observed the
Cosmopolitan world over that people
who eat to live are seldom bread-eaters.
The simple-ninded housewife puts a
heaping plate of fresh bread on the din
ner table; the epicurean has one slice
of stale bread or a crusty roll and only
eats part of it, maintaining that bread
takes away the flavor of his food. He
never never eats it with the soup or
oysters, as their object is not nourish-
ment, but a stimulant to digestion.
More bread is eaten with the cheese to
bring out the bouquet in the Burgundy
than at any other course. AS good
health depends on good food, and good
looks on both, there is a complexion
hint in all this for the ugly girl.

ENGLISH ROYAL COOKS.

A queer custom which prevails at no
other court than that of Great Britain
is the announcement at the beginning of
each course at a dinner of the name OF
the cook who has prepared the dishes
served. The announcement is made by
one of the clerks of the kitchen The
origin of this custom dates back to the
reign of King Charles ii, who made a
great favor1te OF one of his marmtons,
promoting him to the rank of chief cook
over the heads of all his seniors This,
of course, created great jealousy, and
every effort was made to GUST him from
royal favor by rendering him responsible
for the failures which were laid upon
the kings table. Greatly incensed there
by, and fearing to lose his post, he COM
planned to the king in person, who i'm
mediately gave orders that, henceforth,
whenever dish was placed before him,
the name of the cook responsible for it's
success or failure should be announced
in an audible tone.
