12. Yummy Potato Chip Company has manufacturing plants in N.Y. and N.J. The cost of
manufacturing depends on the quantities (in thousand of bags), q1 and q2, produced in the
N.Y. and N.J. factories respectively. Suppose the cost function is given by
C(q , q ) = 2q2 + q q + q2 + 420

concluded that it is more expensive to produce in the N.Y. factory. Will shifting all the
production to the N.J. factory minimize the production cost?
Ans: (a) 1495
(b) No, the move will not minimize the production cost. To produce 100,000
bags, it is cheaper to have N.Y. produce 25,000 bags and N.J. produce 75,000 bags,
rather than to have N.J. produce all 100,000 bags. The manager failed to notice
from the formula that as the production in a factory increases, the cost will rise
quadratically.

13. Your monthly payment, C(s, t), on a car loan depends on the amount, s, of the loan (in
thousands of dollars), and the time, t, required to pay it back (in months). What is the
meaning of C(7, 48) = 250?
A) If you borrow $7,000 from the bank for 48 months (4 year loan), your monthly car
loan payment is $250.
B) If you borrow $4,000 from the bank for 48 months (7 year loan), your monthly car
loan payment is $250.
C) If you borrow $250 from the bank for 48 months (4 year loan), your monthly car
loan payment is $7.
D) If you borrow $7 from the bank for 48 months (4 year loan), your monthly car loan
payment is $250.

PREFACE.
The aim of this book is to demonstrate the nutritious and appetising
possibilities of vegetable foods. Cattle are becoming so diseased that
apart from a humane revulsion against the consumption of meats in daily
food, man is being driven for his own welfare to seek purer food
substance. Any physical habit indulged in for generations is difficult to
overcome, and the transition period between daily meat eating, and pure
vegetarianism is a difficult one. We have endeavored to suggest such a
variety of tasty and nutritious foods as will materially aid in making the
change.
We do not claim this to be an exhaustive treatise on Vegetarian
Cookery; only a clear and practical aid in the better preparations of some
of the delicious products of the Vegetable Kingdom. Many children show
a natural dislike to meats, and Mothers are at a loss how to supply them
with proper nourishment when they reject the meat. Requests have come
to us for aid through this very fact; and was one of the incentives to the
bringing out of this book.
Mothers will have no difficulty in finding a plentiful variety of
relishable and nutritious foods for the children if they will study the
following pages. Equally easy will the formal dinner appear when one
wishes to entertain Vegetarian friends.
INTRODUCTORY.
Vegetarianism from a Theosophical standpoint involves a whole
philosophy of life. The short quotation on our title page well expresses
the theosophic concept of the Unity of life, and the law of cause and
effect which we call Karma. Life is fundamentally a unit, and aught that
works ill to any manifestation thereof has effect on all. Through occult
science we are taught a very practical lesson of direct benefit to the
individual, by a diet free from blood. As clearly stated in Annie Besant’s
manual on “Man and his Bodies,” man molds these instruments of his
will, or true self. These bodies are but instruments; in no sense the man
himself; and these instruments or bodies are finely responsive to the
operator, or true self, only as they are purified and harmonized. Gross
foods, and gluttony make gross bodies, not only physical, but astral as
well. For the astral bodies feed on the subtle emanations of the foods
supplying nutriment to the physical encasement. If, through the
consumption of meats we feed the astral on the emanations of blood or
animal life, we intensify the gross desire-nature of the astral man,
intensify the passional-nature, and at death, when the physical body is
cast aside as a discarded garment, the dense, gross, astral body is held to
corresponding planes in the realm of the astral; thus the purgatory of the
Roman church becomes a very real and uncomfortable experience. If, on
the contrary, clean habits of life have purified the astral body, when it is
liberated at the hour of death from the prison house of flesh it is not of
the same degree of density as the lower astral planes, and it passes on to
the sunlit meadows of that world and away from its slums.
Alcohol has also a most pernicious effect on the astral vehicle, and for
that reason is eliminated from the food of the occultist. It is a great
mistake to give to the perishing, alcohol, or narcotics, as it has really a
more serious effect on the out-going astral than on the physical
encasement. When man learns to live on clean food, to have clean habits
and to think clean, generous thoughts, there is naught in all this
wonderful universe that he need fear.
PRACTICAL
VEGETARIAN COOKERY.
SOUPS.
SOUP STOCK.
Any nuts with herbs dried and ground will nicely flavor and enrich
stock.
Place four onions in large kettle with a gallon of water, let boil steadily
two hours, then add one carrot, two small turnips, two parsnips, three bay
leaves, one head of celery (if celery leaves cannot be had a saltspoonful
of celery seeds may be used), one-eighth head of cabbage. Let boil four
hours; strain. This should make a gallon of strong stock.
TOMATO BOUILLON.
Put one quart of tomatoes, with one and a half quarts of water, in
kettle over the fire; add one tablespoonful of chopped onion, two bay
leaves, four whole cloves, one level teaspoonful of celery seed and a half
teaspoonful of pepper. Cover and cook twenty minutes. Strain through a
sieve. Beat the whites of two eggs until partly light, add them to the
tomato, and boil rapidly for five minutes. Strain through two thicknesses
of cheese cloth. Reheat, season with two teaspoonfuls of salt and serve
with croutons.
JULIENNE SOUP.
Boil tender, not soft, one small potato, one small carrot, one half
cupful of green peas (canned peas can be used), and one small head of
celery, if in season; if in summer, asparagus heads will do. Cut the large
vegetables into small dice, and add one quart of the clear stock. Take the
yolks of two eggs, whipping them up with one tablespoonful of milk
with salt to taste, put in a crockery cup and set in steamer; let cook until
solid; set away to chill, then cut in small dice or fancy shapes and add to
the soup.
MACARONI SOUP.
TORONTO BISQUE.
Place a sauce pan, with half a cupful of fine chopped onion, the same
of carrot and celery, over the fire; cover with boiling water; cook five
minutes; drain off the water. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in a
saucepan, add the parboiled vegetables; cover and cook ten minutes,
stirring often; then add one heaping teaspoonful of flour, stir and cook
two minutes, add one cupful of canned tomatoes, and one quart of
boiling water, cook fifteen minutes. Shortly before serving rub the bisque
through a sieve; mix the yolk of two eggs with half a cupful of cream;
add it to the bisque, and stir for a few minutes over the fire. In the
meantime cook two ounces of macaroni in salted water thirty-five
minutes; drain and rinse it off with cold water; cut the macaroni into
small pieces the size of a white bean; add one cupful of this macaroni to
the bisque and serve.
TOMATO SOUP.
To one can of tomatoes add one pint of water, four peppercorns, one
half bay leaf, four cloves, and a bit of mace; cook until the tomatoes are
soft enough to strain. After straining add two teaspoonfuls of sugar, one
teaspoonful of salt, one fourth teaspoonful of soda; thicken with two
tablespoonfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of flour blended
together.
CREAM OF TOMATO.
To one half can of tomatoes, add one scant tablespoonful of finely
chopped onion, and three spikes of celery, cook until tender, then strain
through a wire sieve; season to taste, add soda the size of a pea. Scald
one quart of milk, mix one teaspoonful of butter with heaping
teaspoonful of flour, dissolve in warm milk and stir into the scalding
milk; add to the strained tomato stock just before serving; don’t let it
stand after milk is added. Serve with crackers.
DUTCH SOUP.
Take one bay leaf, one half can of tomatoes, one half can of corn, one
medium sized onion, chopped; two heads of celery, cut fine (or one half
teaspoonful of celery seed); one half cupful of rice, one half cupful of
oatmeal, one carrot, cut in dice, one eighth head of cabbage, cut fine, one
small turnip, cut fine, gallon, or more, of cold water, with salt to taste.
Cook gently until all vegetables are thoroughly tender. Very nice served
plain, or with dumplings. This soup is a hearty luncheon in itself.
CREAM OF POTATO.
To one head of celery, cut fine, add one teaspoonful of chopped onion,
one large, or two medium sized potatoes, sliced; cook until you can mash
through a wire sieve; then add one quart of scalding milk, one half cupful
of cream, and thicken to a cream with buttered flour. Serve with oyster
crackers.
Pare, wash, and cut into dice, six good sized potatoes, chop fine one
onion, place in kettle with water to cover, salt to taste, and cook until
tender; then add one quart of cream or rich milk, add one tablespoonful
of butter, a dash of pepper, and let come to a boil.
Have ready dumplings made as follows: To four heaping
tablespoonfuls of flour, add pinch of salt, one even teaspoonful baking
powder, one tablespoonful cream, and water enough to make soft dough;
do not knead, mould into small lumps, size of walnuts, and drop into
soup as soon as the soup comes to a boil. The dumplings take about eight
minutes to cook, and the kettle should be kept covered all the time. The
soup needs to be carefully watched that it does not boil over or burn; it is
well to lift the kettle free from the stove every three or four minutes,
giving it a little twirl, but do not lift the cover until the eight minutes are
passed, for sudden reduction of temperature may make the dumplings
heavy.
Nouilles—Beat two eggs, mix to a stiff paste with flour and a pinch of
salt, roll out very thin on well floured board, let dry a few minutes, then
roll snugly, cut from end of roll in strips as thin as possible, and shake
out thoroughly. Have one quart clear stock hot and shake nouilles in
gently. Let it simmer until nouilles are tender.
Take one pint of cold Boston baked beans; place in kettle with two
quarts of water, one small onion, chopped fine, one small bay leaf; let
boil until onion is tender, put through a wire strainer (if too thick, more
water can be added); season to taste, add nouilles and let simmer until
they are tender.
To one bowl of cold Boston baked beans, add one half onion,
chopped; one half teaspoonful of celery seed, one pint of tomatoes, one
bay leaf, and one quart of water. Let boil one half hour, then mash
through a colander, if too thick add more water, have ready one heaping
teaspoonful of flour blended smooth with water, stir into the strained
mixture, and put soup back on the fire, letting it come to a good boil. The
flour is added to keep the soup an even creamy thickness. Serve with
croutons.
RED KIDNEY BEAN SOUP.
To one can of red kidney beans, cooked in their own juice and then
mashed through a sieve to remove skins, add one quart of rich fresh
milk, one tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Let come to a
boil and serve with croutons, or wafers.
Soak a pint of black beans in two quarts of cold water over night; boil
