And then about girls learning TO cook
Much Illness is caused by food not prop
erly cooked, and people can not he strong
and healthy unless they have GOOD wh9ie-
some food. We can not have who esph,e
food unless We have women who under
stand cooking. The strength and power,
both physical and mental, depend urcn
lstrong healthy people and so you sec
good cooking is very important .hihs.
Another important thing for girl 10
learn is sewing. What do YOU tank of
even sew a button on? know my opia-
