It is no hardship to live on simple combinations. We have so much food that we have fallen into the bad habit of partaking of too great variety at a meal. The fact is that those who combine simply enjoy their foods more than those who coax their appetite with too great variety. There is no physical hardship connected with simple eating, and as soon as the mind is made up to it, neither is there any mental hardship. VEGETARIANS. It is difficult to give an acceptable definition for vegetarianism. For a working basis we shall take it for granted that those are vegetarians who reject flesh foods. Those who wish can also reject dairy products and eggs. It is largely a matter of satisfying the mind. The chief trouble with the vegetarians is that they believe that the fact that they abstain from flesh will bring them health. So they combine all kinds of foods and take several kinds of starches and fruits at the same meal. The consequence is that they soon get an acid condition of the digestive organs and a great deal of fermentation. Among vegetarians, prolapsus of the stomach and bowels is quite common, and this is due to gas pressure displacing the organs. Their foods are all right, but their combinations, as a rule, are bad. The various vegetarian roasts, composed of nuts, cereals, legumes and succulent vegetables are hard to digest. It would be much better for them not to make such dishes. A few suggestions for vegetarian combining follow: Breakfast: Berries and a glass of milk. Lunch: Baked potatoes and lettuce with oil. Dinner: Nuts, cooked succulent vegetables, one or two varieties, sliced tomatoes. Breakfast: Cottage cheese and oranges. Lunch: Nuts and raisins. Dinner: Whole wheat bread, stewed onions, butter, salad of lettuce and celery. Breakfast: Cantaloupe. Lunch: Buttermilk, bread and butter. Dinner: Nuts, stewed succulent vegetables, lettuce and sliced tomatoes, with or without oil. Breakfast: Boiled brown rice with raisins and milk. Lunch: Grapes. Dinner: Cooked lentils or baked beans, lettuce and celery. OMNIVOROUS PEOPLE. In this country, most people are omnivorous. The food is plentiful and people believe in generous living. They put upon their tables at each meal enough variety for a whole day and the custom is to eat some of each. Some breakfasts are heavy enough for dinners. Three heavy meals a day are common. Some can eat this way for years and be in condition to work most of the time, but they are never 100 per cent. efficient. They are never as able as they could be. Besides, they have their times of illness and grow old while they should be young. They generally die while they should be in their prime, leaving their friends and families to mourn them when they ought to be at their best. They are worn out by their food supply, plus other conventional bad habits.
