FOOD SUGGESTIONS.

No ingredient that is not drst-class
should ever enter into any article Of
food.
A monotonous diet is not adapted to
the proper development OF the race Of
the individual.
All food tends to deteriorate rapidly
after cooking; and, II allowed to re-
main long, are disease producing.
Nuts and some kinds of fruits,
though they will keep a long time,
should never be eaten after the flavor
becomes impaired.
All kinds of -four and. meal should be
eaten as soon as possible after being
ground, as it is then constantly part
ing with its elements Of life.
All organic material used as food
tends to decay after re;sehing its high
est state Of perfection, and should be
eaten when most highly endowed with
life principle.
Milk, water, and all fluids, cooked or
uncooked, rapidly absorb injurious
gases and microscopic germs from at
mosphere if allowed to remain un-
sealed: especially in warm Weather
