Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The scientific dietetic experiments of Prof.
Wiley, chief chemist OF the Department Of
Agriculture, will get him into trouble unless
he shows more consideration for the tradi-
lions of domestic life than he has In one
recent case. 1t seems he needed a cook for
his experimental boarding house and dis
covered that the person who held the first
place in the civil service list was a woman.
The professor thereupon declared that she
wouldn't do. as women do not make good
cooks. He said he could not trust q woman
to make the necessary exact Measurement
in furnishing the ingredients for his dishes:
in short, that women do not appreciate the
Importance Of accuracy in cooking. Well,
suppose they don't. Isn't a home-cooked
dinner by a mother or a wife incomparably
more palatable and digestible thar the
messes furnished by some chef at a big
hotel? Scientific cooking may be all right
for the unhappy victims of Prof. Wiley's
experiments, but a man would have to be
mighty hard up to adopt it as a steady
diet.
