VEGETABLE DIET.

For the cook who wishes to substl-
tute vegetables for meat, knowledge
Of food values is imperative, says
Harper's Bazaar. Some vegetables are
perfect substitutes for meat You
might grow strong and vigorous on
them, while if you made wrong
choice your family would slowly
starve to death. All the grain, such
as whole wheat, rice, barley, oats,
corn, are perfect substitutes for meat.
They have the same nutritive value
without the waste of animal fesh
Nuts, cheese, peas, beans, lentils, rails
ms, figs, bananas, are meat foods.
Tomatoes, onions celery, asparagus,
carrots, beets, spinach, apples, are
all valuable and important articles OF
diet, but if you attempted to make
them the basis of your dietary your
family would either starve or strike.
Many vegetables have medical value
which if more widely understood
would diminish the need for drugs
and the doctor. Raisins, grapes, as
paragus, spinach, lentils, carrots,
contain considerable iron. They are
valuable for anemic people. Celery,
onions, carrots and lettuce are nerv-
ines and should occur frequently in
the diet of the high-strung nervous
person They may be served in a
variety of ways, together or separate
ly or in combination with other foods.
With the addition of milk and butter
they become nutritious. Carrots are
delicious in combination with celery
or onions or beets. Eggs take the
place of meat always. Two eggs equal
in food value the quantity of beef
steak, usually served to one person.
