OTHER USES OF NUTS.— Chopped almonds, pecan-nuts, and pine-nuts, or any nut or nuts desired, instead of specified nut, may be sprinkled over lettuce and covered with French dressing for a dinner salad. Pine-nuts may be stuffed into fboned meats, in place of other stuffings. They may also be added to made meat dishes. Or they may be sligluly dusted with salt and served the same as salted almonds. Nuts may be added to the cream vegeta- ble soups; for instance, asparagus soup may be made after the ordinary recipe, omitting the butter and flour, and adding 4 table- spoons of peanut meal, or 4 tablespoons of pine-nut butter; or one may add the mixed butters, and in this way make many varieties. An inventive mind will create from these recipes from 50 to 60 soups. Potato soup, cream of corn soup, cream of pea or bean soup, salsify, turnips or carrots, may be used ^ with combinations of nuts. Diabetics may use soups made from such vegetables as spinach, lettuce, celery and turnip; thicken and flavor them witlh almond, pine-nut or desired nut butter. — Dr. Elijah G.
