THE NIT In COOKING

Not many years ago, plenty of people
were to be found who believed that
nuts of any kind, eaten in quantity,
would cause indigestion and kindred
evils. AS consequence. nuts We're
rarely eaten in their raw state, and
still more rarely introduced into cook

Nowadays all that has changed. We
are assured, for instance. that peanut
diet would benefit persons suffering
from certain diseases, or persons
suffering from nothing at all. We
have seen many brands of nut foods
placed on the market, and we find
people everywhere ready to welcome
nuts to their tables.
OF course this revolution of feeling
has resulted in many new uses for the
hitherto despised and neglected nut
Peanuts are being ground into flour.
while chopped and ground nuts of
different kinds are being extensively
used in the manufacture of many
wholesome and toOthsome dishes.
The most popular nuts are almonds,
