DIETARY OF COOKED NUTS FOR

VEGETARIANS.

Those persons pleased to avoid the use of flesh and animal products are advised to try a dietary of nuts, where they can be obtained In good condition, cooked in conjunction with the sweet fruits. A pound of shelled Brazil nuts, or walnuts, or filberts, or. hazel nuts, may be added to a pound of dates, a pound of dried figs, I and a pound,of raisins. See to it that the dried fruit is properly washed, and it will Ine found to mix better if. sliced thin and the stones removed from the dates; the , nuts are also better sliced. Put this together in a pudding dish, and cover with enough water to give the desired consistency to the pudding after baking two hours; or the jar may be placed in. boiling water, and the water kept boiling two and a half to three hours. A portion of this pudding may be eaten with more acid fruits, well ripened, and if it be desired to eat only a small portion of pudding and more of the fruit, the pudding may be made with double the quantity of nuts, and thus the needed amount of oil can be obtained with a smaller bulk of pudding.—'How Nature Cures,' by Emmet Densmore, M.D.
