SALADS AS A E
Most Wholesome Food and should lie
Eaten Every Day.

~
"The beauty and wholesomeness Of
the salad should commend it to every
American housekeeper," writes Mrs. s.
r. Rorer in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Il do not refer to those highly sea
soned combinations Of d-boiled eggs
and mustard, but to dainty dinner or
luncheon salads made with a dressing
OF olive oil, a few drops of lemon Juice
and a light seasoning of salt, garlic and
pepper.
1.-THE salts necessary for the well be-
ing Of our blood are bountifully given
in these green vegetables. Then. too.
it Is q pleasant way Of taking fatty
food. All machinery must be we'll
oiled TO prevent friction, and the Won
derful human engine Is not an excep-
ton to the rule. Look carefully to Il
that you take sufficient fatty food.
"The Americans do not use enough
oil to keep them in perfect health.
While butter is served in some families
three times a day, and is better than
no fat, its composition Is rather against
1t as compared to a sweet vegetable oil.
Fats well digested are the salvation of
consumptives, or those suffering from
any form OF tuberculosis. For these
reasons a simple salad composed OF any
green vegetable and a French dressing
should be seer IN every w~ell-regulated
table 1855 time a year. Those who 1.-Two

Where desserts are not used, and I
wish for health's sake, they might be
abolished, a salad with a bit OF cheese
and bread or wafer or cracker, with
a small cup of coffee. may close the
meal. Where a dessert Is used the
salad, cheese and wafer are served Just
before 1t, to prick up the appetite that
1t may enjoy more fully the sweet. At
a large dinner the salad Is usually
served with the game course"

A Famous ola Irish Abbey.

The Muckross estate In Ireland,
which. according to the London cables.
has been selected as a site for a royal
residence, Is n Of the most charming
spots In the Emerald Isle. The ques-

been the subject Of much discussion.
