longer should it be said that Amer
lea is the most wasteful nation in
the world"
Perhaps one of the most helpful
parts of the welfare work done by
this house is that among its own
women employees, especially the
young girls, so many of whom come
from the crowded districts where
there is so little opportunity for
home training. These young women
are given instruction in very branch
of home making, in the kitchens of
the plant. Here all kinds of foods
are prepared, menus are planned.
home equipment is studied, the uses
and properties of various foods and
how TO choose the best, are given
attention. Then they are given a
food in the great plant for which
they work. A plan is under way,
soon 10 be carried out, whereby the
wives of the employee may be given
this same instruction. The effect of
such work is bound to be felt in
homes everywhere. One of the most
helpful signs of the times is the
rapid spread of this kind of work
among the large plants where meats
and vegetables are prepared for dis
tribution.
A technical library is being COM
piled by this company which will be
of great help to farmers and schools.
I'VE are realizing more and more
shat no distributor of foodstuffs on a
large scale can afford TO leave the
farmer out of his consideration"
said the expert who is compiling
this library. "Our work will be to
help the farmer in every way we
can, TO enable him to give TO the
consumer a better product through
increased knowledge of the pro-
duct"
