der the auspices Of The Washington
Times
Officials and ticket takers at the ex-
position said today the number OF spec.
tators and cooking school students was
aarser yesterday and Monday than II
had been In any other city whore the
exposition had been held.
At the cooking school, conducted by
Prof and Mrs. Sherwood p Snyder.
several score students at Washington
educational institutions were observed
yesterday paying the closest attention
to the lecturers and making copious
notes in books which they brought with
them. Prof. and Mrs Snyder seemed
highly sratified over the presence Of the
college girls and the fact that they
made notes on the lectures. This, Prof.
SNYDER said, proved that the girls and
genuinely interested and that the ex.
position was fulfilling its educational
mission.
How Science Is Applied.
The subject OF yesterdays lecture was
The Science of Baking" It was illus
trated by the mixing Of the ingredients
OF bread cake, and pastry in the model
Kitchen by Prof. and Mrs. Snyder be-
fore the eyes OF the spectators. The
baking was also done in the model
kitchen and the products exhibited to
the housewives and girls present.
During the course of his lecture, Prof
Snyder said:
ITO apply science to anything means
certain rules ard methods whereby sue
cess Ia guaranteed. Failures are i'm
possible. Science can be applied to the
preparation of foods equally as much
and to the came ADVANTAGE thft It can
De In working any machine or i!istru-
ment.
TO make the automobile the modern
me :hanic has to apply science Every
part in the machin" must be in exact
ed to exactness. The materials enter
ing into the construction Of the ma
crime must be Of quality tC carry the
strain demanded of them.
The same rules apply eQuall' in Sre
hakjng OF a loot OF cake or brca |. the
roasting Of n piece of meat. where ex-
actness is necessary. When n woman
bakes cake she must know the reces-
stand how hest to combine those In
gradients and should EN-; loye -eract
measurements and recipes comrilcd in
accordance with the laws Of physical
chemistry. Fly observing these her work
Will be equally successful today. as 1t
was yesterday. or at any previous lime.
A Bit Sarcastic.
Few women realize that there is q
possibility of obtaining fixed results in
preparing foods. For example. most
women when they are baking a cake
express a hope that they will have
good luck If they have good cake.
; they have good luck: if they hav"
poor cake they have poor luck; sad
rake, sad heart, and the children have
indigestion
: Prof. Snyder was a bit sarcastic
when he reached this part OF his talk.
9ie advised that ii woman produced
soggy, doughty over rich, indigestible
cake, she should give it to her chit
tiren. for TO throw II into the garbage
can would be cNtrarngance.

iCal, give 1t to your boys and girls,
because 1t will not do any more than
cause indigestion; pave the way for
future i'll health which perhaps can

doctors in the United States to sup
port. mothers might as well do their |
part in supporting them.
For Health and Morality.
II am deeply sympathetic and my |
whole heart is in the work of aiding !
mothers in producing strong, normal |
boys and girls. | am not a physical |
Culturist, but | do believe in human |
culture. and normal men and women. |
y normal man is man strong in body |
and mind and with a clean, high con-
C"pt1On of life; the man with strong |
muscles and pure blood cOursing |
through his arteries. This is the man
that aCts the most out of life and |
gives the most to the world.
at is not the body alone in which ,
we are concerned, but the mind and |
soul a. well. and we should aim TO de-
N2lOp perfect human being. When
these three natures are normally de-
vsioped, they furnish the best SpeCi
mems of manhood and Womanhood.
When one of these natures is affected
O" diseased, the other two are also
through their sympathetic rela ton
ship. and all must suffer through
fault of one.
Foods in my opinion are the pre-
NRiling influence which surround the |
physical health and morality. I be-
lieVe that a mans body is in "A healthy
condition when every organ is per-
forming its functions; normally; when
hampered IN their duties and when
the body is free from toxic poisons
and impurities man is not so suscepti-
BILE to be greatly influenced.
Result of Careless Cooking.
Eve know that large percentage of
the diseases from which mankind suf-
fers are the result of careless cooking
nnd wrong feeding. and We are perfectly
iustified in saving that more drunkards
are made IN mothers kitchens than in
the saloon.
ITO some it NAV seem harsh and |
rash statement. but il is a recognized /
fact that when a mans digestion is dis
1urhed TO an extent that it affects and |
hinders the normal functions of his body |
and disturbs mentality. he is more in !
ClnCd to seek the stimulus of alcohol |
MANY good parents do not realize that
medicines used in sickness more espe- |
ClaIIv the patent kinds. are often of a |
nature to implant in the child an un-
Conuuerabl BILE appetite for liquor.
Parents are abundantly justified in |
giving dcep reflection to this condition |
and governing themselves accordingly. |
Proner nourishment will save many
hov and girl from an alcoholics grave, !
and the time to start is now, in the
home and in the Kitchen
