Phosphated gelatine 1 teaspoonful, Horlick's Malted Milk 2 to 4 teaspoonfuls, sugar and flavouring to suit. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 1 hour, then dissolve in just sufficient hot water. Add the Horlick's Malted Milk dissolved in 2 cups of hot water, and sweeten and flavour to taste. =248. Malted Milk with Iced Fruit.= Take of Horlick's Malted Milk 1 heaped teaspoonful, crushed fruit 1 tablespoonful, crushed ice 1 tablespoonful, 1 egg, acid phosphate twenty drops, grated nutmeg to flavour, water to make a cup. Mix the Malted Milk, crushed fruit and egg, beating the same for five minutes. Add the phosphate and crushed ice, stirring all for several minutes. Strain, and add ice-cold water or cold carbonated water, and grated nutmeg to flavour. =249. Effervescent Malted Milk.= Put some finely cracked ice into a glass. Fill it half full of soda, Vichy or Syphon water, and immediately add the desired amount of Horlick's Malted Milk in solution. Drink while effervescing. Brandy may be added if necessary. =WHAT TO DO AT CHRISTMAS.= [Illustration] The Christmas festival--which has degenerated into such a deplorable orgy of massacre and over-feeding in many countries which are called 'Christian'--can be observed and enjoyed without such barbarities and butchery as now take place. How can we consistently sing and talk of 'Peace on Earth' when we are participating in ruthless warfare against the animal creation? Is not this wholesale and cruel slaughter altogether discordant with the spirit and doctrine of the gentle and harmless Teacher of Nazareth, whose terrestrial birth is thus celebrated by pagan barbarity? Should not those of us who dare to call ourselves His followers protest against a custom which brings discredit upon His religion and causes humanely disposed Oriental nations to regard it almost with contempt? The following suggestive Menu will at once show my readers that Christmas can be celebrated with a feast of good things without such butchery. And many are they who have found that its joys can even be enhanced by a sense of freedom from blood-guiltiness and personal responsibility concerning the deeds that are done in the shambles at this time of 'Peace and Goodwill.' The Menu can be varied as taste and circumstances may dictate. =A Bloodless Menu for Christmas.= _From which a selection can be made._ Mock Turtle Soup (4). _Fried Bread Dice._ Julienne Soup (9). _Granose Biscuits._ Mock Scallop Oysters (24).
