Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-15

E kIOIIOW1ny 1Q the pACn DldZeu Uy MI. Christian enjoy a glorious freedom never even dreamed of by housekeep- CTS of the past Then, too, the health of their families, the elementary food ists believe, will improve vastly through the introduction of the new dietary system, thus awarding them a double reward.
 The menu placed before MT. Chris tians guests was as novel as it was interesting and was as follows:
 Cream of Corn.
 Unf1red Waters.
 Ripe Olives. Celery.
 Tomato Salad
 Stuffed Peppers. Blanched Almonds. Mascerated Cereal Dates, Whipped Cream.
 Sun Cooked Corn.
 Pecan Meats. Brazil Nuts.
 Eggnog. Unfred Bread.
 Sweet Butter.
 Fruit and Nut Medley.
 Ginger Pudding, Whipped Cream.
 Turkish FuIl Figs.
 Spanish Persimmons. Pignolias.
 Cream Cheese. Date Butter.
 Unfired Fruit Waters
 Ice Cream. Nut Fruit Cake.
 Cereal Waters.
 The dishes were chosen with due re- gard to their combining qualities, and, in spite of their large number, no dis comfort was caused. The cream of corn was served in cups and was made by extracting the juice from fresh green corn and combining it with milk and the proper seasoning. The unfired waters and the undred bread were distinct innovations even to those folk that considered themselves somewhat experienced in uncooked food affairs. On being questioned, MT. Christian stated that they had been placed in cabinet lined with electric lights, giv- ing a tempera ture of about 14o degrees F., and dried This process gives the waters and bread peculiar white ness.
 The sun cooked corn was cut from the cob about two weeks before the dinner and dried out of doors. To pre- pare it for use it was soaked in milk On a page Of the menu was qaat- rain expressing sentiments distinctly appropriate for the occasion. It read: We may live without poetry, music and art;
 We may live without conscience and live
 without heart;
 We may live without friends, we may
 live without books, And civilized man may now live without
 Cooks.
 Apologies to Owen Meredith. In 6 speech Host Christian stated that the dinner was but one of se- ries that he purposed giving. He thus hopes to spread further the gospel of elementary foodism. By series of ex- haustive experiments he has demon strated that uncooked food, the food "that grows in the sunshine, among the breezes and the green trees," is man's natural food, and he is of the opinion that the closer we adhere to nature and her simplicity just so much further will we have advanced toward the solving of the all important food question and it's relation to health. Among the guests were several men and women having rank as authorities on dietetic matters. Albert and Dr. ". R. C. Latson, publisher and editor re- spect1vely of a well known health magazine, were among the speakers and expressed interest and delight at the unqualified success of the dinner. One of the women, who is an advo- cate of elementary foods, told of the envy her comparatively care free life had aroused among her sister house wives, A neighbor recently said to her: why is it that your home life is so simple? You do not even have a cook, and yet you yourself never seem overburdened with work
 well" was the reply, flor breakfast I eat bunch of grapes, and my hus- band drinks a quart of miik.''
 
 with a GoIfer's Apologies to a Poet. Blank blank, blank,
 As top the ball on a tee, And would that my tongue dare utter The thoughts that arise in me! Oh, well for my partner good That he isn't watching the playl Oh, well for the caddie lad
 That he's deaf as a post today! And my partners ball sails on To the last hole over the hill; But, oh, for the stroke of some 3airy's
 wand
 To hasten my ball which lies stint Blank blank, blank
 As top the ball On the tee, But another chance for a game that is lost Will never come back to me
