in charge, and only a sufficient numySer
of paid workers to do the drudgery, the
cooking and serving of the luncheon being
done by members of the class in groups
of eight or ten.
The course is open to women OF twenty
five years or over who have a taste for
and practical knowledge OF houseReep-
ing. Academic preparation should include
at least part of high school course, the
more advanced the better. Because the
work often proves harder than the can
didate for admission realizes. a probation
period OF two weeks is allowed before
actual registration is required.
The schedule has as its central thought
the application of science and economics
to quantity-cooking and serving. Labora-
tory work is supplemented by practice in
planning menus and estimating their cost.
by lessons In food values and elementary
dietetics. in fancy cookery, in marketing
and in bookkeeping; by lectures on home
nursing. hygiene, house construction and
sanitation and on textiles as applied to
the selection and care of household linens

same: by practice in preparing baked

n HOST housewives whose families
NH have the salad habit know
N1 what a considerable item olive
oil is in their outlay for food
And good many look longingly at the
bottle of oil. for which they have paid at
the rate of a dollar or more per quart,
and think how they would like to use 1t
for cooking purposes if it were not so
expensive.
II they would put aside their preju-
dices and give cottonseed oil a trial,
they would find it good for both kitchen
and table purposes, while 1t costs only
about one-third as much. Last year
this country consumed in round num-
bers s12, 10000 worth Of olive oil. The
same amount of cottonseed oil would
have cost only 100000. Surely, that
IS, 600, 600 would have been worth savine.
In an address before the Interstate
Cottonseed Crushers Association. in
New York in June. 1911. DR.. Harvey NJ.

The lunch room OF the future will in all
probability be run upon domestic science
principles. We may not be able TO edu-
cate the public at large to think in grams
and calories. We may not guarantee the
exact proportion of food constituents In
any one meal-a portion being hard
to standardize. But We can at least LEAD
the average luncher out of the errors OF
a pie-and-doughnut diet into the digest
ible peace of a well-balanced meal.
AT Mechanics Institute the senior class
in dietetics is attempting to bring about
these conditions in the students cate-
terra Placards are hung about the room
explaining various dietetic terms and IN
structing the uninitiated how to compute
the proper number of cslories for histin-
dividuaI needs. One placard reads:
Don't eat too much meat. Eat food
containing iron. lime, and phosphorus,
such as milk. eggs, whole grains. peas
green vegetables, and fruit"
Suggestions for well-balanced luncheons

ding. The innovation is too recent for
statements TO be made as to the results
but it Is at least a step in the right direc-
ton. And is It not a goal worth striving
for. this conversion of the lunchins pub

vast army Of dyspeptics? Surely to make

equal to that of producing spineless

Is curious that there should be such a
widespread prejudice against cottonseed
oil. Doubtless IL comes from the TACT
that for long time most people knew or
It chiefly as an adulterant of olive OIL
The general but mistaken opinion being
that anything used as an adulterant must
be injurious. cottonseed oil was forced at
the very start to take the part Of the
villain in the drama. One of the reasons
why olive oil has risen In price during
recent years Is because when it Is i'm
ported into this country II cannot be
labeled olive oil unless It Is olive oil. It
cannot now be made in part Of the
cheaper oil. In former years we ate Q
great deal Of cottonseed oil for which We
paid olive oil prices, and did not know
the difference. 1t takes a very fastidious
taste indeed to distinguish betwe Z. them,
and unless the olive oil Is of the very
best quality the cottonseed oil may have
the finer flavor. For IL Is likely to be the
purer ,foduct because 1t is necessary to
refine 1t more.
The manufacturers themselves are
largely to blame for the difficulty cot
tonseed oil is having in reforming its
reputation. At the convention above re-
ferred to DR.. Wiley gave them good
advice when he adjured them to let Il
stand on its own merits The way to

to sell 1t as cottonseed oil. Do not
try to pass 1t off on the market as
salad oil,' or an oil under any fancy
name. but get the people to recognize IL
by its own name: teach them to have
confidence In II and to know it by its
virtues and values"
At retail. the best cottonsecd oil can
be bought at from % to 20 cents per
quart bottle. while for olive oil II is
necessary to pay. per quart. from 70
cents to $50. By the gallon. olive oil
costs from g to s.. while the best quail
