That "Blue" FEELING.

cent medical writer, The. class of

The use Of the word, having a physio.
logical basis, is common to many Ian
guages. The French say, for instance:

French word eblouissement (giddi-

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TABLETS,
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudaery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most of
the dishes; send your flour, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into a den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but 1t comes in for consid-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
faith by woman who believes in the
system. She advocates it without re:
gard to the fact that such a plan Of
near eating" would rob life Of it's
dearest. privilege, that Of gazing on
and devouring the luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing of potatoes mashed,
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie.
"This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
for years. There is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods IN
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed a family for a week or more
Think of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car.
riages."
Think of the saving Of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go to
the office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
furious over plump, fat chicken or a
pan Of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with joy when you point one
finger at the tablet jar and go on with
your Browning Or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts
