In many people the digestion is too good for the kidneys, heart and other organs. They can eat abundâ€" ance and with relish, but they canâ€" not get rid with corresponding ease of the waste products. In middle life and old age this fact needs parâ€" ticularly to be kept in mind. "Midâ€" dleâ€"aged people should take less food than younger adults, and eldâ€" ‘erly persons require less than the middleâ€"aged .‘ foods. One of the commonest dietetio errors is taking too little water. On an average the daily requireâ€" ments is about four pints.

For Cold Days.â€"A good luncheon dish for cool summer days is the following: Scoop out the centres of as many firm tomatogs as there are persons to be served. Sprinkle the cavities with salt, pepper and chopped taragon and carefully drop an egg in each. Put apiese of butâ€" ter on each egg, place the tomaâ€" very warm days, To cook them cut firm tomatoes in half and dip them in flour, seeing that they are lightâ€" ly and evenly covered. For each tomato heat a teaspoonful of,. butâ€" ter in a frying pan and when it is hot put in the tomatoes, flat side down. ‘Cover the pan and cook them until they are tender and brown.

Still another good stuffing for tomatoes is made of boiled rice, minced green peppers, plenty of salt and pepâ€" per and melted butter and a few fine bread crumbs sprinkled over the top of each tomato after it is stuffed. Tomatocs Panvued and Broiledâ€" Panned tomatoes are tempting for ways as tomato salad. One good recipe calls for green corn, boiled and cut from the cob, mixed with bread crumbs and the pulp from the centre of the tomatoes,. Beaâ€" son the mixture with butter, pepâ€" per and salt. To prepare the toâ€" matoes cut a thin slice from the to‘Y of each and scoop out the inâ€" side. After the stufling is in place put the tops on again neatly and bake the tomatoes until they are & light brown. Another filling for stuffed tomatoes is made as folâ€" lows : Mix a cupful of hominy, halt a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of onion juice, a tablespoonful of Pnd x . ' Stuffed.â€"Stuffed baked tomatocs can be prepared in almost as many ways as tomato salad. One good French _ Tomatoes. â€" Tomatoes cooked after a manner approved by the French are prepared in this way : Remove the skin from small tomatoes. To each half dozen toâ€" matoes allow a cupful of white sauce. Put & twblespoonful of the sauce in the bottom of individual ramekins and on it place a tomaâ€" to. Cover the tomatoes with the rest of the sauce and stand the ramekins in a shallow baking tin. Bake them for thirty minutes and serve hot. Bweetbreads _ boiled, blanched and diced, mixed with walnut or pecan meats chopped fine and blended with French dressing, topâ€" ped off with mayonnaise, make one delicious filling. Others are hard boiled eggs and endive chopped fine, celery and chicken minced and mixed with mayonnaise dressing, crisp cucumbers diced and mixed with oil and vinegar, chopped celâ€" ery, spring onion and parsley mixed with mayonnaise and walnuts and celery with mayonnaise. _ Salads.â€"There are as many kinds of tomato salads almost as there are cooks, for almost every housewife has some combination to which she is especially partial. Tomato basâ€" kets filled with various mixtures form one of the most delicious salads. To make the baskets peel the tomatoes and scoop out the centres and then chill the shells on ice until serving time. Then place the tomatoes on crisp lettuce leaves and put in a prepared filling. Top each basket with a spoonful of mayâ€" onnaise, unless French dressing is used. This may be passed separâ€" ately or else put on the lettuce leaves before they are arranged. ‘ When the «kins are removed they should be carefully peeled with a sharp knife. The tomatoes should first be plunged for a few seconds, ten is enough genorally, into boilâ€" ing water and then immediately plunged into very cold water. The skins should then peel off as easily as banana skins and the tomatoes should then be set on the ice until they are chilled through, They should never be left in the water for a longer time than is needed just to loosen the skin, for a to-' mato parboiled is a tomato wasted. considered a luxury near the great cities. If tomatoes are served raw they should be firm, fresh, cold and full of flavor. ‘ A tomato which is a little yellow can be cooked as deliâ€" ciously asâ€"one that is bright red, and one that lacks taste can have it supplied when it is cooked with sufficient seasoning. But raw toâ€" matoes cannot be doctored to make up for absence of quality. Hence never serve them raw unless theyl are perfect. |_It is fortunate for the cook that most persons like tomatoes and | that they can be prepared in so many toothsame ways; for from ‘early spring until late fall they are within the reach of almost every purse and climate, and even in the winter monthsâ€"they are no longer HOME With a Basket of Tomatocs.
