The popular belief Is that cereals cannot be eaten without cooking. This opinion Is the re- sult of following precedent, — of accepting “that which is as true.” Cereals are best just before they have ripened and hardened, when they are soft and full of water. This condition can be partially brought about again by soaking them in pure water or milk. The common theory that the stomach is unable to digest uncooked cereal starch is altogether wrong, as can be easily demonstrated by any one who will thoroughly masticate the uncooked cereal. Making the cook stove do what the stomach ought to do is de- priving this member of its rights and its exercise, it of what nature intended it to do, and the penalty is weakness, just as it would be with any other unused part of the anatomy.
