PURPOSES OF COOKING. | Dear Social Corner Bisters: Cooking, of course, destroys many germs, and that is one reason why cooked foods are better and more wholesome than uneooked. Cooking renders food more capable of mastication, and conse- quently ef digestion. It does this both by chamging its actual structure and by making it more appetizing, thus stimulating the flow of the saliva and the gastric juices. The importance of ¥ood ogoking cannot be overestimated. A good meal, well cooked, and dain- tily served, hag a certain subtle moral ®ffect not to be disregarded in this Age of nervous haste and flaunting ma- terfalism. It we are “but what we #al” we are also in a very real sense the product of all the influences that play about us as we eat. The child, contented over his oat- meal, is mindful of the cleanliness and order of the table at which he sits, and the orange or cocoa have the fragrance of heneysuckle wafted through an open window, A poor meal, served in slovenly fashion. will upset many a hepithy man's temper for the day. After all, one's philosophy is largely a matter of what one has-had for reakfast. EASTER LILY.
