OATMEAL IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
In Great Britain, children of all ranks are raised on oatmeal alone, because it causes them to grow strong and healthful, and no better food can possibly be found for them. It is also quite as desirable for the student as for the labourer, and for the delicate lady .as for the hardworking - sisters; indeed, all classes would be greatly benefitted by. its use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifold annoyances, can be kept at a distance: Oatmeal is more substantial food, it is said, than veal, pork, or lamb, and quite equal to beef or mutton, giving as much or more mental vigour, while its. great desideratum consists in one’s not becoming weary of it, for it is as welcome for breakfast or tea as is wheat or Graham bread. It can he eaten with syrup and butter as hasly-pudding, or cream and sugar like rice. It is especially good for. young mothers, npou whose nervous forces too great a demand has been made, and they lose the equilibrium of the system and become depressed and dispirited. Oatmeal requires to be cooked slowly, and the water should be boiling hot when it is si’vrcd in.
