A few days ago I had occasion
to take- a no a, meal at a first-class
restaurant which supplies a large
trade. The mercury outdoors was
reaching for the century-mark. The
waitress dropped a menu-card in
front of me which read:
OUR STANDARD FEATURES
Prime ribs of beef, au jus
Roast loin of pork, apple sauce
Porterhouse steak—cuts to order
Breaded veal cutlets, lima beans
Goose-liver sausage, onions
Frankfurters and kraut
Old Home Farm sausage
A selection from that list, on a
torrid day, and for a fat man with
blood-pressurel There was one at
a neighboring table, devouring on«
of those steaks served rare; be was
calling to his aid a bottle of Wor
cestershire sauce, with which he lit
erally forced his overworked stom
ach to swallow the insult! It is no
wonder that apoplexy is still on our
unconquered list.
In hot weather we do no» need
heat-producing fuel in the body.
We have calories enough without
adding more.
A capable breakfast at this sea
son may consist of a dish of cereal,
butter, toast, an egg, two strips of
crisp bacon—a half-cup of black
coffee if the day’s task is strenuous
—and an orange or half a canta
loupe.
The noon meal should be sustain
ing: brown bread, buttermilk, well-
cooked garden vegetables, stewed
fruits, a moderate slice of boiled
ham, or a much more moderate one
of cold roast beef. The meal will
be complete with the addition of a
piece of plain apple pie or cus
tard. The fewer condiment, ice-cold
temptations, and fancy sweets the
better.
And the evening meal? Well—at
nearly nothing as possible, if you
would retain the health that I am
umlng you have. This bit of ad«
e is not for invalids, you know. !
