THE LADIES'. FLORAL CABINET. 
butter, salt, sugar, spices, tea, coffee, chocolate, etc., 
are omitted in these new bills of fare which are set be¬ 
fore us. ‘ * The Compromise ” contains a number of ingeni¬ 
ously contrived recipes where cream is substituted for 
butter, and a little white flour is mixed with the brown 
sugar, and eggs are also allowed, but graham flour 
enters into the composition of every recipe where flour 
is used. 
It would be unfair not to state that there is also in 
this department much information valuable to beginners 
in regard to the cooking of vegetables and grains, and 
even meats. All explanations are very explicit and ex¬ 
pressed in language so simple no one could fail to un¬ 
derstand them. There is no doubt that there are an 
alarming number of dyspeptics in our country, and that 
there is a demand for a reform in regard to our eating 
and living, but there ought to be some happy medium 
between a “starvation diet” and the abominations our 
fashionable dinners have developed into. There is a 
scripture prophesy to this effect, “that in the latter 
times there shall arise those who shall command to 
abstain from meats which God created to be received 
with thanksgiving by them that believe and know 
the truth. For every creature of God is good, and 
nothing to be rejected if it be received with thanks¬ 
giving.”
