MENUS.
Reading edition
From the following menus given some idea can be formed as to the order in which elementary meals should be served. The highest object to be attained in the preparation of a single meal or for an entire day or week is a perfectly balanced bill of fare; that is, to serve such foods as will furnish to the body all the elements of nutrition in the right proportions.
These menus are made up to meet the requirements of a normal body. When the digestive, secretive or excretive organs are abnormal or disordered, special selections and combinations of food are required to counteract these conditions.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BANQUETS.
The following menu was served at the first elementary or uncooked banquet ever spread in this country, given by the authors, June 18, 1903. The publicity given to this banquet, by the press of the country, and the unique lesson which it taught, and the enormous correspondence that was sent to the authors concerning it, showed with much emphasis the great demand there was for a comprehensive work on this subject. The object was more to show the numerous and attractive dishes that could be prepared from uncooked foods than to observe or follow any particular dietetic rule or law.
There is also given a more simple Banquet Menu, which will be found very satisfactory when a formal course dinner seems called for.
