Cold-Food Cure Fad.

A new cure has appeared in Paris which is said to be much in vogue, especially among members of the smart aet. It takes the form of a special diet and the particular malady at which it is aimed is overstoutness. The idea of this diet is that everything, or nearly everything must be eaten cold; and even hot coffee, tea or soup is forbidden to those following the regime. The early breakfast of toast, cold game or hard-boiled eggs and ham is accompanied by a cup of cold milk. At luncheon, again, there is nothing but cold meats and cold puddings, with bread and cheese or salad; while again, at night, the meal may consist only of mayonnaise of fish, cold entrees, and entremets.
