ECONOMY COOK BOOK
is WOMAN'S DELIGHT
Dedicated to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
With Forward BY DR.. Harvey w.
WiIeV

Wiley.
Any woman with a normal aptitude
for cooking and the usual feminine de-
light in preparing palatable and attrac-
tive food, will scan the pages of new
cookbook with a certain pleasure that
nothing else can give. There is GER
tain fascination of the unexplored in
recipes for unfamiliar things and new
recipes for old things, and the average
woman takes keen delight in expert
menting with them.
The Economy Administration Cook
book, just published, is as attractive a
compendium of cooking recipes as has
ever found its way to American homes.
1t has frontispiece photograph of Mrs
Woodrow Wilson, to whom it is dedi-
c3ted, and a photograph and foreword
by Dr.. Harvey w. Wiley, pure food
specialist. Any hungry person scan
ming through the pages could expert
ence sensations of imaginary gastron-
omic joy, for things that read as if they
might be mighty palatable succeed each
other for 632 pages. And between these
pages there are photographs of the
women in official American life, singly
and in groups, presidents of womens
organizations and of the debutante
daughters of Washington families, pic
lures of the interior of the Whitehouse,
and reproductions Of elaborate service
sets.
DR.. Wiley in his foreword touches
the keynote of this cookbook when he
says The Economy Administration
Cookbook is for those who believe in
the simple principles of democracy and
especially the simple and natural life.
In our country we are getting farther
away from nature every year. In buy
ing we are getting farther away from
the producer. The result is more of
the artificial and less of the natural,
greater expense and less nutrition,
more fancy cooking and less wholesome
cooking. All of these unnatural con
ditions man is compelled to tolerate"
Conspicuous among the recipes are
Photographic reproductions from the
pages of the cookbook of President
Wilson's mother in her own handwrit
ing, and other recipes compounded by
the presidents grandmother. COntri
buttons for the book were CLEANED from
$50 prominent American women, and
these include recipes for almost every
thing imaginable for family meals or
for elaborate functions, with menus
that harmonic for all occasions
'The American home is the safe
guard of the American republic" says
the preface, land it is pleasing to this
book to give to the housewife a new
conception of the relation of represent
alive women to practicle household
affairs"

ton Cook Book. 1t is an excellent

part of October at mass meet
ing of citizens of Columbia has
assumed more definite proper
tions, the committee appointed

mlttee. working in connection

ing for the enactment of law

Burned to Death in Bed.

A telephone message to Fort
Mill Saturday afternoon con-
veyed the information that Mrs.
Lizzie Bennett, an aged woman
living on the farm of DIR. It. S.
Kirkpatrick, five miles north of
town, had been burned to death
IN her home. The fire was dis
covered by a neighbor, w. H.
Crawford, who found when he
entered the house that the bed
IN which Mrs. Bennett had been
lying was on fire and she was
dead. AS the Stats of the bed
had apparently burned first it is
presumed that fire had popped
from the fireplace near the bed
and had ignited the bed clothes
underneath. Mrs. Bennett was
paralytic and was unable to
save herself.

er to the centre of the city.
The only unpleasant incident
had 10 effect on the general sit

ed by representatives at Vera

the American method of deliver

criticised sharply failure to make

The occupation of the Mexican

said to have cost this country
ten million dollars. No indem-
