Sprout food
By Sharon Johnson
By sprouting beans or seeds you can
raise fresh greens year round without sun
shine or an inch of soil.
Lentils, mung beans, soybeans and alfal
fa sprouts are just a few kinds of nutrition
al seeds that can be grown. It is important
to start with fresh seeds that have not been
treated with fungicide. Consequently, it is
best to purchase them at a health food
store.
The sprouting container must be of non
porous material such as porcelain or glass.
A wide-mouthed quart jar works well.
Other equipment needed is a cheescloth or
nylon mesh, a rubber band and a bowl.

To begin, place about a tablespoon of
seeds in the jar, cover them with water and
soak overnight. The next morning, pour
the water through the mesh covering, rinse
seeds, drain and tip the jar down into a
bowl. This allows the water to continue
draining while the seeds remain moist with
out getting too wet.
Place the jar and bowl in a dark place to
hasten sprouting. Two or three times daily,
rinse the seeds, drain and pat the jar back
into the bowl.
Alfalfa, lentils and soybeans sprout in
four to five days and mung beans in six to
eight days. To harvest, simply remove the
seeds, rinse and drain in a strainer.
Sprouts, like other greens, are perish
able and must be refrigerated in a plastic
bag or loosely covered container to be used
within a " few days. Here are a few
possibilities for use: .-'; .
-Add sprouts to fruit or vegetable
salads, sandwiches, soups, stew or casse
roles before serving.
Saute sprouts, green peppers and
onions to eat as a vegetable or to add to
scrambled eggs.
-Grind sprouts in a grinder or a blender
and add as a last ingredient to bread,
muffins, pancakes or waffles.

Remedies for one too many
By K. Alice Betts
Vftll UnnA III.. i
..v itui iuv on uvci-tjuiaieu
balloon, your mouth is as dry as the Sahara
and your stomach as violent as the
American battlefields.
You are suffering the symptoms of over
indulgence, one too many beers, one too
many martinis or one too many martini
beer combinations.
The aftermath seems unbearably long,
your pounding head mercilessly countLig
the seconds to a doubtful recovery. Few
escape the morning-after anguish. Despite
vast amounts of medical research, the cure
has not yet been discovered. Abstinence
perhaps. However this solution is un
realistic and preventive, rsther than
relieving. - x
After speaking to several victims of the
hang-over blues, I found a few near
. remedies that lessen the painful remem
brance of "last night."
ThNSjht Before:
-Never combine large amoungs of beer
with large amounts of hard liquor. Never
combine large amounts of hard liquor or
beer with wine.
-Drn't eat Mexican or Italian cuisine
while inebriated: Instead eat bland foods
like Cream of Wheat, oatmeal and milk
toast. -Don't drink through a straw. The
additional air ingested will cause extra
, gas pains. - ,
-Use water as a mix instead of carbon-,
ated beverages, orange and tomato juice or
beer.
-If physically or mentally possible, take
an aspirin with a glass of warm milk before
retiring.
The Morning After:
-Brush your teeth.
-Don't smoke.
-Call your friends and apologize for ob
noxious behavior. s
-Take a very hot bath.
-Take a very cold shower.
-Don't lay down for your headache. Sit
to avoid excessive blood flow in your braia
vessels, consequently .reducing alcoholic
blood flow in your maimed brain.
-Take two buffered aspirin or, better
yet, tak Bromoscltzer or Alkasdtzer wilh
aspirin.
-Don't eat Mexican or Italian cuisine
while recovering. Eat bland foods such as
Cream of . Wheat, oatmela and milk-toast.
-Drink water, water, water and more
wafer-nothing else.
The whys and hows of these different
remedies are not completely understood or.
medically substantiated. Proceed at your
own risk. Although some may be adverse,
others have been tried and tested with
moderate amounts of success.
