ence How to Cook a Meal
for Forty Cents.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 26.-Any
mother can provide q dinner for four
persons that is wholesome and attrac-
tive for the moderate cost of forty
cents.
The meal will be fit for king, and
in its preparation the housewife Will
find pleasure and inspiration.
These facts were demonstrated BY
Mrs. Anna B. Scott, cooking expert
and home economist Of the North
American, who addressed 200 mem-
bers Of the Halliwell Home and School
Association in the Halliwell school,
Frankfort avenue, below Allegheny
1t should be stated at the outset
that women are the mothers OF chill
dren who attend the school. and nat
urally they are interested in mother
hood duties. To safeguard the health
and morals OF their children is the
chief motive for the associations OK
istence, and believing that the des-
TIMES of the nation rests in the home
and that good cookery is an essen
tial in the making of red blooded men
and women who can assume the re-
sponsibilities OF government, the moth
ers invited Mrs. Scott to address them
on the subject. r.
Mrs. Scott Talks Business.
Mrs. Scott, mindful that the women
are not theorists, that they are not
interested in the new tangled ideas
of society, got down to fundamentals
quickly. M ~ ~ W
eve must consider" she said. "that
women are not to be considered as q
class. We are sex, and in the nat
ural division OF labor our work is IN
the home. To us is intrusted the care
of children, and that includes the safe
guarding OF their health and cutliva-
ton Of ideals. Therefore, 1t is in the
home that American citizens are made
and hence the duty Of every mother TO
be interested in home. To the men
rests the duty of providing the home
with the comforts Of life. We must
not measure human happiness by the
number OF oil paintings on the wall,
but by the amount of cheer and love
that we can radiate."
Mrs. Scott had made some purchases
in nearby markets, chiefly to prove
that prices are about the same in varl-
Gus districts, and also to give added
emphasis to her oft repeated ASSET
tions that housewives should do their
own marketing to eliminate delivery
charges and to select the best foods.
Opening the baskets, Mrs. Scott ex-
planned briefly the character OF the
menu and placed emphasis upon their
tissue building qualities. 1t was to
be a well balanced meal, consisting
of barley soup, baked Hamburg LOAF.

bread crumbs and stewed raisins. /,
