Chicago.-"A successful wife treats
her husband with tho same considera.
don that she gives her pet dog"
This was the statement made the
other day by DR. u. NJ. Brown, who
says that the way 20 win and hold a
man Is 20 feed him well; with clean
wholesome food and an atmosphere OF
contentment and comfort Doctor
Brown also stated thRt poor cooking
affected love. and that to be a success
ful wife. is TO be an accomplished
cook.
Many cases that come up for trial
in the court Of domestic relations" +"
said Judge Charles ~ Goodnow, can
be traced back TO the fact that the
home cooking has been worse than
poor restaurant fare and, although Il
does not often come out IN the direct
testimony that the wife can't cook, the
husband viii admit that tho wife Is a
poor housekeeper The mothers OF to
day are TO blame for this state OF af.
fairs, and marriages cannot be happy
until the wife perfectly understand
her side OF the compact"
Judge Adelor Petit OF the circuit
court, who has disposed of hundreds
OF divorce cases, stated the relation
ship OF cooking to love and marriage.
1T is a common occurrence in d.
gorce case for the husband 10 say he
had 10 80 70 the restaurant TO obtain
his meals" said the Judge. His wife
was too busy to cook, or she didn't
know how, and, what was more, she
didn't care to learn. This state OF az
fairs is serious"
"A college education for women is
n splendid thing" declared DR.. Chan
ming w. Barrett, but a college educa.
tion will never do for the future wives
and mothers Of the American people
unless a course in house administra-
ton and plain everyday cooking is
made an important feature. That is
where the colleges fall short Such
courses made compulsory at colleges
like Smith. Wellesley and Vassar
would :urn out women ready for mar
riage Ind equal for its emergencies, as
well rs carefully and we'll trained for
their duties
The lower animals eat, as do the
higher, and men or women are IN
much better condition after a tasty
meal than when hungry. They work
better and more efficiently.
"As women are the home makers
and keepers, they are responsible for |
the health of the family.
"One-haf of the cases Of indiges- |
uon and stomach trouble that come 10 |
me are due 20 bad home cooking
mothers or wifes cooldng-and all |
through ignorance of the proper prep
aration Of food.
Not only is a well-cooked meal nee
essaTy, but 1t must be served in a
tasty manner, with clean dishes. shin
ing silver and glasses, and sweet,
clean napkins and cloths. The table |
with a bunch Of fragrant flowers or a
pretty fern, and the room furnished
with a quiet harmony give a restful at
mosphere. Here in such surroundings
the food is well digested, and there is
a sense Of comfort that in a noisy
place would not be possible With
pleasant companions, either family or
friends, the invigoraung tonic Of such
a meal is not realized by the average
man or woman.
Women must become cooks, OF lose
the love Of their husbands If man
can find another girl whose cooking is
delicious he will find grounds for di-
vorce and leave his wife fd her.
Home cooking is one Of the most i'm
portant essentials in holding a man to
his marriage VOWS"
