Its chief contention is that the fruits, nuts and grains, with a fair proportion of fresh and preserved vegetable productions, '•(with or without the products of animals) are wholesome and pure. That flesh meat contains the germs of diseases to which animals are subject and contain the thick, venous blood, a substance so poisonous that it will cause blood poisoning when- ever it comes in contact with the arterial blood of the body. That by avoiding riie butcher's meat and living on the pure foods provided so abundantly in the vegetable kingdom a higher degree of health and strength can be obtained ; a longer life and greater freedom from irritation and nervous exhaustion, under pressure of business or professional labor. HOME. It also in the Home Department contains practical information and suggestions for lessening the labor oi preparing food and preventing those disagreeable odors and noxious vapors of the Kitchen that are inseparable from the cooking of fish, flesh and fowl. The most delicate lunches, the most enjoyable dinners and suppers can be prepared under the directions given such as are especially adapted to supply the demands of refinement in domestic and social life, laying the foundation for a higher standard of living than is attainable under usual conditions. The children, under the designation of the "Apple Blossom Society," are provided with incidents calculated to lay the foundation of a pure and temperate life by avoiding those -Stimulating foods which create a thirst for intoxicating liquors and is the chief cause of intemperate habits in after life.
