A Government Cook Book,

The issuance of a cook book by the
Department of Agriculture is q piece
of paternalism that housekeepers will
welcome. The Economic Use of
Meats in the House" is the title of the
publication sanctioned by Secretary
Wilson. 1t tells housewives how
cheaper cuts of meat should be pre-.
pared to make them thoroughly pals-
table, aud gives other useful hints in
domestic economy. Furthermore, it
will be supplied free for the asking.
The insistent clamor over the high
cost of living inspired the preparation
of the book, and now that it has ap.
peared the providers Of the family
larder should avail themselves of its
advice. There is no doubt that i'm
providence is responsible for much OF
the present trouble, and the publica.
ton OF the government cook book
should help to remedy the disorder.
