A SELF-SUPPORTING HOME 



daily moderate use of celery is said to 

 remove nervousness and even palpitation 

 of the heart. For rheumatism and kidney 

 troubles it is considered excellent. Those 

 having weak digestion should eat celery 

 cooked, as the fibre of celery makes it diffi- 

 cult of digestion. 



Rhubarb should be eaten as a matter of 

 duty, for it is one of nature's pleasantest 

 remedies, counteracting the ill effects of 

 heavy winter diet. 



Water-cress is a splendid tonic, and the 

 country home should manage to have a plen- 

 tiful supply. 



Asparagus and lettuce are so universally 

 liked that the family are sure to eat quanti- 

 ties without regard to the medical qualities, 

 which are many and varied.
