to make good sweet bread in the most inexpensive manner, and the
family should refuse to have upon the table bread that is heavy and
sour, for it is injurious.—

365. Hot biscuit raised with soda or baking-powder should never
appear upon our tables. Such compounds are unfit to enter the
stomach.—

366. Saleratus in any form should not be introduced into the
stomach; for the effect is fearful. It eats the coatings of the stomach,
causes inflammation, and frequently poisons the entire system. Some
plead, “I cannot make good bread and gems unless I use soda or
saleratus.” You surely can if you will learn. Is not the health of your
family of sufficient value to inspire you with ambition to learn how to

369. If your work is sedentary, take exercise every day, and at each

370. It would be better to eat only two or three different kinds
of food at each meal than to load the stomach with many varieties.—

371. Do not have too great a variety at a meal; three or four dishes
are a plenty. At the next meal you can have a change. The cook should
tax her inventive powers to vary the dishes she prepares for the table,
and the stomach should not be compelled to take the same kinds of
food meal after meal.—
The Review and Herald, July 29, 1884
.
372. Some think that they must eat only just such an amount, and
just such a quality, and confine themselves to two or three kinds of
food. But in eating too small an amount, and that not of the best quality,
they do not receive sufficient nourishment.—
