KemEdla for the Hanwolfe Club, cootribnted by Dr. C. W. LymaD.
Take peas, water, and a sufficient amount of vegetables suitable for soups. Add a little so- da, and boil the whole till the peas cotne en- tirely apart. Let it stand till settled. Pour off the thin dear fluid. Salt to taste. This fluid tastes well, is as digestible as any meat soups, aad surpasses the very best meat soups in nutritive value. Peas contain a vegetable albumin, legnmen, which is readily soluble in faintly alkaline water, and is as nutritive as egg albumin ; about one per cent, of soda is enough.
