The problems of the home ere more
difficult today than they have ever
been, for each advance in science.
each modern invention has brought
new responsibilities and new duties.
More knowledge and skill are re-
quired than eyer before N the ad-
ministration Of every department oe
the home. Standards of living have
changed and greater perfection in
all housekeeping is demanded of the
homekeeper.
The food problem is perhaps the
most dif1cut of all the physical
problems to solye, because Of the in
fiuence of food upon the welfare of
the family.
we are all face to face with the
problem of securing nutritious food
at prices we can afford to pay. At
one time this meant providing some
thing palatable and supposedly whole
some at cost within ones means.
Today it must be a knowledge not
only of the cost and nutritive value
of the food materials, their compost
ton and digestibility, but of the pro-
portion of different food principles
necessary for perfect nourishment'
and all this IN variety TO suit the old,
the young, the laborer, the business
! man, woman or the student.
It has been estimated that there
are FIVE ways in which one-fifth of
the money expended for food is ae7
tually wasted;
First-Needlessly expensive mate
rial, providing little nutrition.
Second-A great deal, not wilfully,
but thoughtlessly. thrown away.
Third-knowing little or nothing OF
food values, consequently bad prepaf-
alton.
Notwithstanding foods out OF sea
Fltth-Badly constructed ovens ana
taliure TO understand the relation OF
neat to food which is to be baked.
