One might almost say that the recipe
TOR happy home was what has been
aptly called bland" diet. While it
Is not literally true that eating hog
makes hog of man, yet 1t is true
there Is a large connection between it
and character. Bloodthirsty, lustful
races are those that eat meat-largely
rare meat-freely, whereas the gentle,
industrious, persistent races are most
~ grain and fruit eaters.
While the controversy over vegeta.
rianism is one for scientists to settle.
even the humblest of us can afford to
try for himself the advantages of a
bland" diet. 1t Is most interesting
experience to see how acute and sensi-
tive the sense of taste can become by
avoiding food that has strong taste.
No one knows the delicate sweets
and acids, oils and bites in our COM
mon cereals and fruits who eats huge
chunks of fish, flesh and fowl highly
favored and deluged with biting
sauces. Simplicity of life can be as
much part Of diet as of furniture or
clothes. - William Noyes in Good
Housekeeping.
