navies of the two countries, Norway and

THE COOKERY OF ILOILO,
The Army and Navy Will Indulge in
a Rare Treat at the Islands.

A vegetarian would have a rare treat
in Ioilo, for the people eat no meat and
little fish. They subsist upon nuts and
fruits and the rarest of vegetables.
Toma toes. which we are accustomed to
think an European delicacy, are big, beau
tiful and abundant in these islands, and
are so highly favored that they need no
seasoning
The same is true of cauiiflowar, aspara-
gus and other delicate vegetables. The
harder ones. beans, peas and radishes, are
considered too coarse. Then, besides these,
there are quantities Of other vegetables
that we do not have in this country.

his food is prepared for him by natures
