mahogany. because it's nearly like the

who loves his work. This color occurs
frequently in the woods in autumn. To
me it is the shade of sumac leaves when

Varying the Diet.

Certain cynical persons have declared

stated that the more civilized a PEOPLE

food they demand ard command. How
wide is the variety of the food you serve
on your table?
Very probably your food is much more
