in food can be practiced safely only
by diminishing the variety or guam

fresh and of good quality, than
three times a day little stale

fresh milk than a gallon that is

efficiency and the future efficiency

Milk, fruit, eggs, fish, bread, but

palatable and nourishing stew may
be varied twice a week with steak or
chops. Five quarts of milk a day

coffee, oatmeal and cooking. Two
vegetables, with meat, bread and
butter and, if possible, fruit or a
simple dessert, make a wholesome
dinner and one within her means
