in the body than there, that ~ a man
keeps stronger by eating some foods
than by eating others. Thus, bread,
potatoes, eggs, meats, butter, sugar,
cheese. peas, beans. oatmeal and corn
all are strengthening foods. Fresh
green vegetables and fruits give va
riety and are wholesome. but do not
furnish strengthening foods. and
these foods as well as cheese, peas
and beans furnish so much strength
as TO lessen the amount OF meat re-
quired Besides they are proportions
ately cheaper.
s. Both beans and cheese make
very good substitutes for meat. For
example instead Of eating three tab
spOOnfuls OF chopped meat or q
couple Of large slices of roast beef,
OF a helping OF beefsteak, you can
eat four tablespoons Of beans. or
eight cubes Of cheese one inch in
size
Instead Of butter oil or lard used
