GOOD DINNERS.

SOME wise person has said that good dinners help very materially toward making good people and, if you doubt this assertion, try the matter for yourself. For several days satisfy the wants of nature with good, wholesome food, well prepared, and daintily served, and see if you are not better mentally, morally, and physically than when your food is ill cooked and carelessly served.
Even the plainest food can and should be prepared palatably and wholesomely and served as daintily as the most elaborate fare.
Wholesome materials should always be used for cooking, fresh and sound vegetables and fruits, untainted meats, fish, flesh, or fowl, eggs whose freshness cannot be questioned. Never keep "cooking butter" in the house; always use as good for all cooking purposes as you would place upon your dining room table.
Always serve food as daintily as you possibly can. No matter how poor the table appointments may be, let them possess perfect cleanliness. Have the table linen in perfect order and the china perfectly arranged upon the table and you may be sure your table will be attractive.
