FOOD MAKES CHARACTER
Mrs. M. A. Wilson, Food Expert,
Visits Carney Point and Gives
Wise Instructions

Mrs. NJ. A. Wilson, the Philadelphia
food expert, who writes articles on ex-
pert cooking in the Philadelphia Press.
visited the Mothers Club at Carney
Point on Tuesday afternoon and gave
cooking demonstrations to a hundred
women present. The dishes used were
snow pudding, fruit salad, Hawaiian
style cheese relish and c~rullers for a
hundred persons. The women had their
pads and pencils and copied the recipes.
One caution was to measure exactly.
A %teasponful means level your spoon
with a knife evenly. If you scoop your
cups of fiour you get an ounce over
and after you have measured your IL
quid You do not have enough to use mp
our excess -four, hence the dough is
too stiff and your cake cracks.
Pixol ware of transparent glass was
shown. in which anything can be cook
ed. even roasts. They are fixed for in
tense heat.
Mrs. Wilson mixes with a knife and
wooden spoon and fork. She said from
go to so per cent of American people
have more stomach trouble than years
ago. Doctors have traced disease to the
NOiiSidHI uSt OL ultldl COOkluR UTENSILS
AS much as a teaspoonful of finty
pieces have been taken out of a stomach
by an operation.
Never put a liquid lavoring into any
thing to be cooked, because the heat
destroys its purpose; put it in the icing.
In making crullers, after being cut and
laid aside. take each up and manipulate
on both sides. The side exposed to the
air loOses its lightness. Water is as
good enough. Cakes are rich enough
without milk.
Mrs. Wilson, in her cooking school,
at $3.50 Race street, Philadelphia, has
classes for all persons, the professional
chefs down to the one-week-old bride,
who wants to know how to boil dish
water. She has a stone refrigerator
which she advises using above all 9TH
ers. She has been in the work for %
years. but only in this country s years.
Her first appearance was in Madison
Square Garden, n. Y.
She uses mazala oil made from corn,
by the Kara manufacturer. 1t is freer
from fatty acids thar other oils. 1t
can be used to fry fish and the remand
er put back in the supply. Bakers
fresh cocoanut is used for fruit salads.
Thee snow pudding was made for the
fifteen little folks present. She was
very much handicapped because it was
impossible to get the $50 degrees heat
for the ~crullers from an electric stove.
She expects to come again to Carney
Point soOn and spend a whole day. Be
fore that a pipe will be laid so that a
gas stove can be used with sufficient
heat.
She is delicatessan at the Children's
and at private hospitals. She declared
that much of the craving for alcoholic
liquors, also drunkenness is caused by
the poorly cooked foods and badly COM
bined meals. Men crave alcohol to cut
the grease and acids in their stomachs.
Bad and hayward boys are started in
their own homes at the table. She will
speak more fully on this at her next
visit.
During the first week in January a
food display and demonstration will be
held in Wilmington by the Philadelphia
Press and Consumers League of Della
ware. She will have with her IT'S pup
VI AM wants " see many SdlhCy OIhb
and Penns Grove ladies there.
She was delighted to hear that do
nestle science will be taught in the new
school building when completed. A
country school with domestic science is
no pack number.
Mrs. Wilson was immensely pleased
with all she saw at Carney and espec-
tally the attendance of a hundred wom-
en- who consumed the edibles prepared.
Miss Tulledge, her assistant and pup
il, accompanied Mrs. Wilson.
Here are two recipes:-
Cheese Relish-Chopped epper and
celery mixed with newt chatil cheese
spread in the cutters of celery stalks.
Hawaiian Fruit Salad-One orange, l
apple, 1 banana diced, 1 can cocoanut, 1
tablespoonful of cornstarch, milk of a
cocoanut, juice of an orange, 1 lemon,
half cup of sugar, add yolk of 1 egg and
mix in the beaten white.
