1t is wasteful for working people
to eat meat (or fish eggs or fowl more
than once q day. in cool weather and
injurious for them to eat it more than
three times a week in hot weather.
The abuse of meat eating Is not
only harmful to. the health but un-
patriotic. A fat, overfed, under
worked person who has the temerity
to sit down and eat meat twice a
day, or meat and fish at the same
meal, ought to be fined heavily for
each offense.
A little meat in the diet is advis-
able for most people engaged in ac-
tive work. though not necessary and
often not advisable for a great many
who do their work sitting at a desk.
For growing children meat three
times week, or for young babies
meat broths three times a week can
not be dispensed with
Let a little meat go a great way.
The flavor of meat and the stimulat-
ing effect of the extractfves of fresh
meats are what the appetite Graves.
Get 1t economically by preparing
various dishes containing. enough
cereal or other farinaceous material,
or vegetables, which should consti-
tute the important nourtshing part OF
the recipe. Meat Is pretty poor nour-
ishment, as compared with bread or
potatoes or beans or macaroni and
cheese and a whole lot more ex-
pensive. A worker can endure longer
without meat in his diet than with it.
He can withstand high temperature
much more easily without meat than
with ii.
The evening meal should be the
substantial meal of the day for all
who work in daytime and rest al
night. Midday dinner is wrong for
busy people. In fact. people whr
take breakfast at about 500 a. IN.
are often more healthy and efficient
if they take no more food until 6
p m. dinner. then a light lunch at
bedtime IF desired.
Macaroni, spaghetti or noodles
cooked in broth and served with
more dabs of gravy or meat: stews
of a hodgepodge of vegetables just
favored with a chunk of the cheap
est cut of meat. are worth while.
