ely and full OF nutrlmenL We should
begin the day with fruit, either In the
natural state or well cooked. Here
there is large room for choice. Baked
apples and stewed prunes would IN
many cases shut the door on bitter
pills and potions once considered in
evitable as part of the diet OF children.
Is there anywhere a man or woman
growing old who has not disagreeable
reoollections OF nauseous doses forced
upon reluctant lips in childhood. Their :
was once a brew compounded of senna
and mama that had a peculiarly Odi-
Gus flavor, and as for syrup OF rheu-
barb. squills. psregorie and castor oil.
few were the boys and girls who wers
not In former days compelled 70 take
them as the price OF health. Fruit in
its season does away in the main with
the necessity for such doses, and is
therefore the foundation OF a good t9-
Bile.
Next to this come cereals OF every
kind. the chief requirement for the
housekeeDer in selecting her grains
and meals and fakes being to resort
frequently to change. so that the table
be not monotonous. For people who
do not go forth TO daily labor a light
breakfast is preferable TO a heavy one.
But a man whose luncheon must be
slight, OF a child going to school
should have fish. eggs or meat, In ad
dition to fruit and cereal. Grown peo-
pie may have good tea and good cof-
fee as an accompaniment of their
meals, and plenty OF bread and butter
must not be omitted. For children AMI
young people milk is better than scm-
ulating coffee and tea.
Luncheon is more or less a movabls
feast, whether It be taken at midday
or later. Where the men of a house
hold can conveniently come home to
a MONDAY dinner the ideal conditions
for health obtain, but a majority OF
families hnd the late dinner indispen-

broth. For what reason SO many
housekeepers look upon soup as appro-

serving soup every day. end II will be
found that this is as easy and simple
as any other course.
AS an Introduction to dinner a soup
with meat as a basis, or with a bisque
OF vegetables and milk, Is an admira-
BILE aid TO digestion, and acts as a spur
when one is too weary Immediately TO
assImilate more solid food. A roast or
a broil OF beef. mutton or chicken, fol-
lowing soup. accompanied by two vege-
tables, sufficiently fills the bill for an
ordinary dinner. After this may come
a salad or a sweet. according TO choice.
In the daily menu these are not neces-
sary at the same time, although when
the dinner is a function to which |
guests have been asked. neither OF
these courses can be omitted.

than with good food. as we
still want for the daily work what the
ancients priced above all things, a
