The Mazdaznan takes up the dietary questions and calls
attention to the medicinal value of certain vegetables in
their respective seasons in order to obtain the magic
results for which they have been intended by nature for our
good. Bear in mind that there is a time of feasting and a
time of fasting.

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
Generally lasts for two weeks, taking in the New Year's
week, and is considered as the longest holiday season, where
feasting seems to know no bounds, and where we may break
over the rules, providing we keep within reasonable bounds.
We want the best nuts, fruits and beverages. We want
nice and dainty dishes. Of everything the very best. Even
the decorations should play an important part. It is self-
understood that the home should undergo thoro over-
hauling. Rapp-trapp is to be removed. The needy should
be rememibered and given an opportunity to make use of
what we really do not. If we can make lonely hearts happy
we should do so by all means at this season, a time of great
expectation. Then our dishes will taste by far better, and
partaken of in a spirit of great satisfaction ; the food and
drink will turn into great blessing and the healing of our
shortcomings, physical as well as mental.
Raw foods, as well as baked and cooked foods are now
seasonable, hot as well as cold, and wherever occasion de-
mands it stimulants of a mild nature are permissible.
