The fat-producing foods are prin
cipally milk, cream, eggs, butter, olive
oil; the sweets —sugar, honey, sweet
desserts, jams, sweet fruits; the
starchy vegetables—potatoes, peas,
beans, corn, beets; wheat bread, rye,
cereals of all kinds, rice, sago, etc. Os
the fruits, peaches, grapes, bananas,
prunes and figs are especially recom
mended. The only foods cut out of a
thin person’s diet are the condi
ments —pickels, pepper, mustard, cur
ry, salt, etc.; the acids, including acid
fruits, the vinegar in salad dressing,
etc.; and the stimulants, tea and cof
fee. It must not be forgotten that
although the tissue-making foods,
such as meats, fish, etc., are not fat
producing, they are required for their
own especial functions. Some of the
green vegetables and fruits are not
fat-producing, but they are needed
for other purposes. The fat-produc
ing foods should be indulged in prin-
Jeffersonian
cipally, but not to the exclusion of
others. —Harper’s Bazar.
SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON.
Translated by Helen-Rowland.
Lo, my daughter, hast thou met
a homely man who charmeth thee?
Then cleave unto him with all thy
might. For a Greek god conquereth
easily, but he with the face of 4 mud
pie and the legs of a piano pleaseth
only by taking great trouble, and he
hath a winning way. Yea, he under
standeth women.
He doeth the sympathetic - and run
neth thine errands. He studieth thy
taste in flowers and quoteth thy
speeches accurately. He remember
eth the necktie thou didst admire and
weareth it always.
