arvegetablc~,andthe next day the breakfast must be the broth OT j u ~ c e a f t h e meat, winch, Liprepared according to my directions, will afford equal nour:ihment.

1 wlah to call your ~ftentionto the following importult fact. The hardy and fhrifry working classes of France, the country uhere the most rigid economy in q a r d to food 15 practiced, neier use tea or cof.

fee icr breakfast, ?rd seldom u e milk. Then food and drink is BROTH, i i m the broth from fresh mea:, for they do not often cat that; but that which is made irom vegetables, and peihzpr a bitof bacon or salt pork, I ask you to try for dmner, sxpper, and the next morning's brenkfasr, the three receipts i n Chapter Vl, for "SALT POT.+" FEU," RICE. AXD BROTH,'a'nd "BREADB n a r ~ ; "and then let me knon haw you like them, and horv far they go rowuards sz11if;ing your hunger, and giving you strength.

In calculating the cost of the receipt^ I give you, I hive used the retail piices asked in Washington mzrler, and in ordinary grocery Stores, at this 5easm of the year, the average i s about the same iithat of past years, nnd piaba3ly all1 not change much; so that I believe I haw not piaced too law an cstimate upon them.

With there irords of explanation, 1send my lifila book to do its work among those r h o moitnecd its miniifiations.
