WII.A.T TO EAT AT in YEARS.
Stomach is Not the Main Consid-
eration. '
Dr. Chalmers Wilson, of London,
has written a,' little volume called
`.`The Book of Diet," in which he
says: •
"The diet 'should be selected to
agree with the .constitution rather
than with the 'stomach. A true food
snust ;be either a tissue builder or
o souroe of energy. Fats ,are the
most important anal -foods. Pro-
teins (meat, fish, eggs, etc.) are the
tissue builders. But a aufficMncy
of salts arevesseatial to health, and
if .salts are cut out of the food
death occurs in a few weeks."
• --Very useful information is given
concerning the nutritive properties
of meat, fish, game, etc., from
which a few hints may be ()Med:
Beef is 'best when got from an ox
two years old. .
'raid is much less nutritious than
beef and not so easily digested.
Mutton M generally considered to
'be more easy, of digestion than
beef. • „
Lamb greatly exceeds mutton in
its proportion of fat .and is corre-
spenclingly less digestible. •
Tongue, tripe. and sweetbreads
are bath nutritious and easily di-
gested..
Hare, 'when ydung, -is. very ten,
der, and a young, well-fed chicken
is.the most digestible of all 'animal
. Ono al the commonest slietetio
errors is faking to little' water.
On an average the dairy -require-
ments is about four pmts. _ One-
fourth of this is contained in the
solid food, and Dr. Chalmers ad-
vises that 0130 and a half or two
pints of plain water should be tak-
en daily. ,
'In many people the digestion is
too good for the kidney, heart and
other organs. They can eat abund-
aoce and with relish, but they, can-
not get rid -with corresponding ease
O f' the waste products. In middle

'With a Basket of Tomatoes.
It is fortuhate for the cook that
most persons like tomatoes and
that they can be prepared in so
many toothsome ways; for from
early spring until late fall they are
within the reach of almeeto every
purse and climate, .and even in .the
winter months they are no longer
considered a luxury near the great
cities. II tomatoes are served raw
they should be firm, fresh; cold and
full of flavor. A tomato which is a
little yellow can be cooked as deli-
eiously as one that is bright red,
and one that lacks taste can have
it supplied when it is cooked with
sufficient seasoning. But raw to-
matoes cannot be doctored to make
up :for ,absence of quality. Hence
never serve them raw unless they
are perfect.
,• When the ekin s are removed they
should be carefully peeled with a
sharp knife. The tomatoes should
first be plunged for a few seeonds,
ten is enough 'generally, into boil-
ing water and then immediately
plunged into very cold water. The
skink should then peel Off as ,easily
as 'banana 'skins and the tomatoes
Should then. be set on the ice until
-they are chilled through. They
should .never be left in the water
for a longer time than is needed
just to loosen' the .skin, for a to-
mato parboiled is a tomato wasted.
Salads. -There are as many kinds
of ton:tato salads almost as there are
000ks, for ahnost every housewife
has some combination to which she
is especially partial. Tomato ims-
kets filled with various mixture.,s
form, one of the most delMious
Salads. To make the baskets peel
the tomatoes and scoop out the
centres and then chill the aliens on
ice until serving time. Then place
the tomatoes on crisp lettuce leaves
and put in a prepared fillbag. Top
eaclabasket with a spoonful a may-
onnaise, unless French dreseing is
used. This may be passed separ-
ately or . else -put on the, lettuce,
leaves before they are arra,n,ged.
Sweetbreads boiled, blanched
and diced, mixed with walnut or
pecan meats chopped fine an.d
blended with French dressing, top-
ped off with mayonnaise; make one
delicious filling. Others are herd
boiled eggs and endive chopped fine,
celery and chicken minced and
mixed 'with mayonnaise dressing,
crisp oucumbers diced and mixed
with oil and vinegar, chopped eel:-
ery, apring onion and parsley mixed
with mayonnaiseand walnats and
celery with mayonnaise, '
French Tomatoes. - Tomatoes
cooked after a manner approved
by the French are prepared m this
way: Remove the skin from small
tomatoes. To each half dozen to-
matoes alrow-a eispful ' ,of white
sauce. Put a tablespoonful of the
sauee in the 'bottom of individual
ramekins and on it place a toma-
to. Cover the tomatoes with the
'rest of the eauCe and stand the
„ramekins in a shallow baking tin.
Bake them for thirty minutes and
,serve hot.
Stuffed. -Stuffed baked tomatobe
call be prepared in almost a many
ways as tomato salad. One good
recipe calls for green corn, boiled
and cut from the cob, mixed with
bread .erumbs and the •pulp froze

son the mixture with butter, pel5-
s:5er and salt, To prepare the to-
matowi cut a thin shoe frox±t-. the
to of eaoh and scoop out the in-
side." After the stuffing is. in place
put the tops on _again neatly and
.bake the tomatoes until they are
a light brown. Another filling -for.
stuffed tomatoes is Made as fol -
lbw: Max a cupful of hominy", half
a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful
of onion, juice, a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley and two table-
spoonfuls of melted batter, Still
another good stuffing for tomatoes
is made of .boiled rice, minced green
peppers:, plenty, Of 'salt and pep-
per and melted butter and a few
fine bread crurabi sprinkled over
the top of each tomato after it is
stuffed,
Tomatoes Panned end Broiled -

Boat Turned Turtle and Re Was
Sealed in Cabin.
One of the most extraordinary
stories ever told of the sea is re-
lated by Captain Engellindt, owner
of the steel sailing ship Erma's. He
was at sea. 'with three men on board,
when a preat gale camn sweeping
and tearing and screaming over the
waves, and drove his vessel befote
it- into the 'gathering blackness "of
night, The skipper stuck to the
wheel all through the. long hours of
'darkness, and the gale dying down
to a, snarling growl at 4 a.m., he re-
linquished his pest arid stepped
down to hi % cabin for a change of
clothes.
It Was at this moment the real
business of tile day began, Ile had
just got into sky un.clerclothing,
whenthe vessel quietly turned 'bot-
tom upwards, and he found himself
standing on the roof of the cabin,
with the d-oor over his head her-
metically gealed by the ocean. Was
ever a maa itt such stra.its befere7

tention of any ship that :night hap-
pen to pass by, he spent 12 days in
thia strange manner before he was
rescued. The wreck had to be tow-
ed to a mighty crane before a steel
plate could ho unloosed and, the
skipper be free to look once more
on the blue sky.

A story is being told in London

'George shakes hands. His Majesty
is much more given to this form of
greeting' than any of his predeces-
'sore. Indeed, when hewas at Wool-
wich recently, he shook hands with
everyone who was prented to
him...He has a friendly grip, and,
so -firm is it, that if one he honors
weats rings they get well 'pressed
into the hand. •
