The following practical information and suggestions will be found
helpful by those who wish to test the advantages of living solely upon
uncooked foods--as now recommended by so many progressive physicians,
dietetic specialists, and teachers of hygiene. Although such a
strictly simple and natural dietary may at first involve some
gustatory self-denial, the benefits resulting from its use are
declared by many who speak from personal experience to be well worthy
of any inconvenience or sacrifice involved.

=RECIPES.=
_Nut-meat_--2-ozs. shelled nuts, 1-oz. bread, 1 tablespoonful of
milk. Put nuts and bread through a nut-mill. Mix together with
milk. Roll out thin and cut into shapes with glass. This is
sufficient for two. Look well over nuts before using, do not
blanch almonds but rub them well with a cloth.
_Unfired Pudding or Cakes_--1-oz. each of dates, sultanas, currants,
candied peel and French plums, and 2-ozs. nuts. Put all through
a nut-mill and mix well together. Roll out and make into cakes.
For a pudding, put mixture in a well greased basin, press down,
leave for an hour or so and turn out. If too moist add
breadcrumbs. Serve with cream.
_Unfired Dried Fruit Salad_--Ingredients as for pudding, but do not
put through a mill; chop all the fruit and nuts and serve dry
with cream.
_Dried Fruits_, such as French plums, peaches or apricots should be
put in soak for 12 hours. Do not cook.
SALADS.

_Cabbage_--Use hearts only, which cut into small pieces.
_Cauliflower_--Use flower part only, which cut into small pieces.
