HER REFORM MOVEMENT.

i centiy.a woman who is an enthusiast
on Wholesome eating, Ito establish
n restaurant where persons who patron
lie 1t would be obliged to eat with little
regard to the suitable combin alton Of
foods In Germany, for instance, there
is law forbiddinS restauraters to serve
beer to persons WHO lave eaten fruit. and
my restaurant would have some of these
restri ctions.
The otler day l saw woman in
down town place eating raw oysters
and drinking bottle of beer. l was
appiauding her wisdom wien heard her
dessert ordered-icc cream, fancy cakes
and a cup of ctoo olate. I actually hur-
ried through my own luncheon and left be-
fore what Stevenson calls that ungodly
mess should arrive.
Another woman in the same place
ordered a steak. some fried potatoes and
glass OF milk. She was pale, anaeniic-
looking creature, and those two powerful
nutrients, milk and beef were too much
for her TO take together, particularly as
She eliminated all chance of digestive af-

IN my restaurant the order card Should
be different for luncheon and dinner and
should consist of Il dozen or fifteen whole

the mattresses should be young women who
should have some knowledg e OF food values,
and this Should be increased while they
were in my employ, aud there should be
some rules in my establishment that could
not be violated. And do you know" she
