has to eat, the manner in which ones
food is cooked, has a great deal TO dc
with the health of the individual and
disposition as well. Nor does the in
tuence of proper or improper cooking
end here, for indirectly it affects a
man business and sometimes his en-
tire career
one meal prepared by an ignorant
or careless wife may make or wreck
mans life, should it effect his dis
position or mood at the time that
some opportunity comes to him. 1t Is
therefore Of vital importance that
cooking be done properly. 1t is not
only more palatable. but there are
other reasons, based on cold. CONNER
cial facts
Must Have Equipment
But in order to do good cooking
she contends, it is necessary to have
"a kitchen that issarranged convent
'ntly and provided with all the neces'
sary devices that are used by good
cooks She does not think that the
man who viii refuse to equip kitchen
deserves to eat good cooking.
In her opinion, some women are
naturally good cooks, others acquire
the art and while some may not have
it thrust upon them, it is possible for
all to learn to be good chefs. In
cooking, she says, care is one of the
things that is most needed. Guess
work will never go In this art.
Miss Gift does not count cooking as
drudgery She says it is Il pleasure
and works as though she finds pleas
ure and interest in her tasks. She
works with the greatest ease, never
becoming hurried or excited, and that
Is one reason why she has come to be
one of the worlds most famous cooks.
That and care are the secrets of her
success
1t Is absolutely necessary, in order
to sustain life that people eat, and
in the opinion of Miss Gift, 1t is just
as necessary that what people eat be
well prepared Poor cooking has sent
many a man to his work in bad
humor, some to the operating table,
and few, 1t Is said, to the insane
asylum.
Miss Gift paid tribute to those who
have been listening to her daily lee
lures, saying that the women who at
tend are those who are Interested,
and probably good cooks already.
Those who are ignorant of the neces-
sity OF good cooking, she said, Will
not attend. From the size of the
daily attendance, there are already
hundreds of good cooks in the city, If
what she says is true.
"You have live and hustling town
here" said Miss Gift, when asked
what she thought Of Tulsa. 1T shows
that the men are energetic Then
with a smile she added, 'and that the
women must be good cooks to supply
the men with the necessary energy to
do the things they have"
Miss Gift not only teaches good
cooking, but she insists upon economic
cooking. She teaches those who hear
her lecture how to select their food
in an economical way and how to cook
without wasting any Of It, She also
that food well cooked
does not have to be thrown away IL
any is left after the meal. With the
proper selection Of foods and the prop
er cooking of them. Miss Clift thinks
that the cost of living would be de-
cided It is not so much the high cost
Of living but the high cost of waste
fulness that Is making the nation
squirm.
Sanitation is another Of the essen
tials to successful cooking. The kit
chen must be sanitary. easily cleaned.
and the dishes. ovens and cupboards
must be kept clean and spotless.
In her lectures she brings out the
point that no person can be dirty and |
cook well at the same time.
