It Is Considered Very Valuable as a Food. The fact that onions are being sup- plied raw to the troops in France may come as a surprise to many people' who despise this vegetable. They do not realise that it is of great value as a food, and that in it are found some of the most valuable and tonic mineral salts in the vegetable kingdom. Onions are perhaps best known as a cure for insommia; they also possess such cooling and diuretic properties that they prevent and soothe the pains of rheumatism. For these two reasons alone they will he useful to am raen at the Front'. Moreover, on- ions are easily digested, stimulate the appeitite, and are nourishing, They contain sulphur and other properties which stimulate the activity of the stomach and aid the digestion, and are a preventive of human parasites. Well cooked, they are an excellent and wholesome food for children, and those who feel a cold hanging about them should eat boiled onions. Un- like most vegetables, they are appetis- ing when eaten alone, without the aid of meat or gravy. It is, no doubt, the offensiveness of the breath after eating them which makes most people shy of the nutri- tive onion. By chewing, a coffee - bean, however,or drinking milk im- mediately after a meal of onions, this pungent aroma can he removed. VALUE OF PERFUMES. Have Often Proven to be Useful as Disinfectants. Persia saw the • earliest develop- ment of the perfume industry. The priests of Egypt, who were the sole depositaries of science, knew the se- cret of aromatic substances ami pre- served them. Egyptian perfumes ac- quired great celebrity, especially those made in Alexandria. The Israelites, during their sojourn in Egypt, adopt- ed the use of aromatic substances, The Jews were fond of cosmetics, and even used them to paint the face. All these perfumes were extracted from essences of trees and various plants. The Greeks, who loved elegance, were especially addicted to the use of per- fumes, and they taught their secrets and usage to the Romans. The lat- ter, in the days of their decadence, went so far as to scent the coats of their dogs. In the Middle Ages the Arabs, Vene- tians, Genoese, and Florentines be- came famous for the preparation of sweet-smelling essences. France did not become acquainted with perfumes until aftsr the Crusades, and it was Maria de Medici who especially brought them into favor. Makers of perfumes quickly recognized their good or bad medicinal influences. It was remarked both in Paris and Lon- don, during the cholera epidemic of the nineteenth century, that no one engaged in making perfumes was ever attacked. • Didn't Have To.
