"l'his is my pet dinner, which
I like to have served five nights
out of every seven: Vegetable soup
made however. without meat stock,
the vegetables cooked to a paste
almost When served 1t is about
the consistency of puree. OF this
eat two large soup plates some
times more.a shockingly unfash-
ionable proceeding am aware. but
Satisfying.
sin addition to the soup |
have large dish of salad, either
tomatoes and lettuce or tomatoes
alone or cucumbers and lettuces
dressed with plenty of olive oil.
"There is third course COM
posed of dish of wheat berries
or flaked rice or puffed rice dress
ed with two teaspoonfuls OF olive
oil and sugar and for dessert
have coffee, not black coffee, and
finish up with cake and fruit.
"I alternate the vegetable soup
with bean soup made of the
cheap red haricot bean sold at
any grocer and which when we'll
made and Favored with lemon
tastes not unlike mock turtle.
"Perhaps two days in the week
will have no soup and in its
place are served baked potatoes
and several other vegetables. Some
times we have baked potatoes

of the community on that subject
and the other quarter see an
early grave In sight should they
cut eggs out of their bill of fare.
"Many persons '~liS stsik IA lot
about the protein In beef forget
that this protein Is the result of
a vegetable diet on the part OF
the COW. Why nots your pro
tein at first hand 7 ! ask them.
"We do not consider carnivor-
ous animals fit for food and all
the others are strict vegetarians.
Look at the horse his great
strength and capacity for hard
work and then consider that his
menu has no variety whatever and
includes neither meat nor eggs
eyes housewives can very easily
get even with the market men II
they have a mind to and without
in1uring their health in the
least''
