Not only do they balance the some mustard; some pepper, or any Lmore cloying sweetness of plum pud * ’ ‘by Jotm Jo—ph Gaines, M.D. CONDIMENTS Most people use spices and sauces of varying potency, not because such things possess any nutrient value, but to compel the stomach, to tolerate an over-feed. The normal, healthy human being does not need an appetizer; his desire for food is exactly adjusted to his need of nourishment, and any in terference with it by its erratic host will, in time, bring punishment in the way of indigestion. Fully as many people abuse condiments in excesses as poison themselves by tobacco or alco holic stimulants! • Just a matter of time in action is all the difference; it takes the spice brigade a bit longer to kill or disable its victims. Visit a popular cafe, and watch the “tubby” men blackening big juicy steaks with pepper, or soaking them with highly concentrated solutions, to compound containing it; besides caus ing pain, it stimulates copious secre tion—does it with violence sufficient to disable the optic temporarily! Only a fool would put red pepper in the eye r but they do not hesitate to drop the coals into the stomach; the effect is the same. The physician employs condiments as medicine, and wisely. He wishes to restore the debilitated organs by gen tle stimulation; a besotted stomach may be improved by moderate stimu lation,, but is made weaker by the repe tition of bigger and stronger doses of the stimulant. Our actual use of con diments is, perhaps ten times in ex cess; a wise plan would be to reduce both food and condiment systematical ly. • .

Many of us have seen on the shelves of confectioners and high-class gro cery stores jars and boxes and cans of salted outs, plump, brown and In viting. We have inquired the price, or even dared to ask timidly for a very small quantity. They were do- licious, It’s true, but prohibitive in price for the ordinary family. Happily nuts can be salted and spiced at home, and those best adapted for this use—peanuts and almonds— are not fabulously expensive, bought in quantity and in condition for home treatment. In purchasing nuts, however, wheth er shelled or in their shells, insist on being allowed to make sure that they are free from insects and imperfec tions. Ascertain as well as you can whether they are really fresh. Other wise your labor will be in vain. If pecans are s favorite in the family, It Is best to buy your supply already shelled, for they are difficult to re move. Peanuts bought for home use should be raw. To blanch your holi day nuts, place them in a pan and pour boiling water over them, allow ing them to remain in it for two min utes. Then the water is drained away and cold water is run over them until they are cool. The skins should then slip off readily. When they are re moved the nuts should be dried with a towel. Occasionally nuts, such as filberts and pistachio nuts, part with their skins rather unwillingly. They will have to take a hot bath of three to five minutes' duration before their coats will come off. Our “home-made” nuts may ) be browned on top of the'stove. In the oven or In deep frying fat, as Is most convenient. F.xperience, however, has proved that the latter method is by far the most uniformly satisfactory. Good vegetable fat or olive oil is nec essary for browning. It must be put in a deep kettle and brought to a heat of 390 degrees. To insure success, a deep fat thermometer should be used. The nuts, thoroughly dry by now, are placed evenly in a layer in the bot tom of a frying basket and immersed In the hot fat to fry for two minutes. When a delicate brown they must be removed Immediately and placed on a sheet of brown paper or toweling to drain. They should he sprinkled with plenty of table salt and spread out to grow dry and crisp before serving. If you prefer even browning to the above method, place your blanched nuts in a shallow pan containing fat. put In a M'O-dcgree riven and rofisr the nuts until delicately brown, stirring them often. For brpwning on top of the stove a tablespoonful of fat oil is allowed to each cup of nuts. They are distributed evenly ever the surface of the pan and fried with constant stirring until they are t|ie right color. When your nuts are browned you may make a mixture of three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt, half a tea- fepoonfui each of cinnamon, cloves and 1 allspice to each cupful of nuts and L sprinkle the spicy mixture freely over ! them.—Frank K.
