KNOWING WHAT TO EAT PUT ABOVE
CULTURE BY NOTED ENGLISH DOCTOR

OF the millions who verge on starva.
ton, many are so because they do moi
make the best use Of their resources.
1t is necessary, he said to educate
the poor to regard really cheap fooi.
and to teach them how TO make it pa
latable and to serve it daintily. Feed
ing. he said, was better than eduCa
ton. He deplOred the disuse of oa.-
meal in England, asserting that 4
small plate Of pOrridge was equal in
proteid value to two thick slices from
a four pound loaf.
He contended the rich would great
ly benefit their health by treating thei,
viands more simply. The habit i.
private life seemed to favor Kick
shaws. he said, and added contemptu
ously that the patent sauces now az,
only second in popularity to paten
pills.
