THE VALUABLE LEMON.

The lemon is a palatable medicine
and one that is especially good for the
blood. For thick, sluggish blood and
an inactive liver, the juice OF lemon
in glass of water every morning on
rising is most beneficial tonic. The
lemon juice should be taken without
sugar and drunk at least half an hour
before eating, to give 1t time to be abb
sorbed into the system before any
thing is taken into the stomach.
AS a drink, hot or cold lemonade
still stands first on the list of drinks
In combination with other foods and
fruits 1t is also both refreshing and
stimulating. A few tablespoonfuls Of
lemon juice in barley water is splen-
did drink for the sick.
There is a zest about dish Of lem
on jelly to be served with different
meats fish and poultry, which is
especially pleasing.
When serving bananas and oranges,
fruits that are nearly always on the
market, bit of lemon Juice squeezed
over the fruit brings out the flavor OF
each.
In preparing frozen dishes, like rasp
berry or grape ice or Ice cream. ta
blespoon of lemon Juice not only en-.
hances the flavor, but makes the color
more beautiful; desirable addition to
any dish.
Lemon Juice and olive oil, with salt
and cayenne pepper, is a simple and
easily assimilated salad dressing for
many vegetables and fruits.
AS a garnish for fish, cut in dainty
slices or in eighths, there is no pref.
tier decoration, if combined with q
touch of parsley.

Such boots as are to be dedicated
