The Food Value of Nuts.

Nuts are not only the cheapest source of ebergy; they are the peat They are made up of fat and what (a called "protein." The little huaka on the nuts are not nourishing, but they should be eaten with the nuts because they help in digestion. But nuts are so hearty a food that they should never be eaten except as the chief dish at a meal; they should not be taken at the end of a heavy meal nor between meals. It is quite as foolish to eat nuts after a meal as it would be to eat a beefsteak after a three course dinner. Nuts can be made into soups, can be used in sandwiches, salads and in other combinations both attractive and wholesome. They should be eaten with salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit. A whole wheat pudding with chopped nuts in it makes a meal by itself. Nuts will keep you warm, give energy, and, if you do not work too hard, they will increase your flesh, but do not eat nuts .to any amount unless you give up meat, for they are a substitute, not a food accessory.
