SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD RECIPES FOR VEGETARIANS
HAY A-LA-MODE
Take a pound of best timothy and soak it over night in fresh brine. Peel carefully and place it in a vegetable ivory saucepan. Add the yolk of an egg-plant and stir dreamily over an electric-fan till it disappears. Serve it right.
NUT CUTLET
Procure two dozen new nuts from any hardware shop. Grind them into a paste of about the consistency of the average politician. Over this pour a little Standard Oil from which the dividends have been removed, and stir briskly with a subpoena till the oil begins to run; pour off, strain, and beat the paste with an axe until it looks and tastes like a veal cutlet.
IMITATION POTTED HARE
Take a false hare and pot it. This will be potted imitation hare, to be used for decorative purposes only.
STEWED RUBBER PLANT
Cut the plant into rubber bands, add a pinch of rubber cement and beat the whole mixture to beat the band until it will stretch without breaking. This rule is elastic.

That love is blind accounts for so many miscues.
HEALTH HINTS
To cure seasickness: Turn the entire system inside out and hang it over the rail of the s.h.i.+p where the salt spray can drench it. Under this treatment the patient is pretty sure to feel somewhat relieved within a few days after the time of going ash.o.r.e.
Persons troubled with poor circulation should ascertain how to increase the same by consulting the editor of their favorite Sunday newspaper.
Weak respiration may be improved by a diet of onions. They are highly recommended for strengthening the breath.
For insomnia try snoring, which is always a symptom of SOUND sleep.
To prevent hay fever: Go not in the way of the kittenish gra.s.s widow.
Care should be taken to prevent the occupants of the penitentiary from getting the measles. It would make trouble should they all break out at once.
[Sidenote: _Financial Note_: For "dust" in the house, ask hubby.]
[Sidenote: _Art Note_: An artists' model is not necessarily a model of good behavior.
