MRS. fEUL|NC ON
HOME MANAGEMENT
Is Believer in Package Foods
Because OF Guaranteed
Cleanliness
SAYS FOOD LAW
ISN'T TIGHT ENOUGH

OtQ you ever Duy poA Vl udhihb
powder or a package OF cornstarch and
md that II would not do what bak-
ing powder or cornstarch is supposed
TO do3 You feel II is extravavant TO
throw away even a ten cent purchase,
but you waste dollars worth Of
nervous energy in trying to use up a
had bargain.
Mrs. Alice Dynes Feuling, the we'll
known authority on home manage
inent. and all that this implies. is 60
Ing TO talk TO the women of Whining
ton during the week Of January 20,
on the principles of correct buying.
Mrs. Feuling is an ardent believer
IN package foods. first. on account Of
their guaranteed cleanliness. Ina re-
cent interview she defines some of her
ideas in this respect.
You are a very young woman"
said Mrs. Fculing. but you can prob
ably remember the time when the cat
walked over the open sgacker barrel.
and people bought flour and lard and
sugar from open roceptacles."
Don't they now?' was the inter
rupted query, and Mrs Feulings face
took on a more serious look.
Indeed not-not II the Home man
agcr knows her business. and. il she
doesn't that is what our Home Man
ayers Week is for-to help her know
"fhe first step in improved home
management Is 10 understand the inn
portance of package foods. with the
nanc of a responsible manufacturer
on the packages. II the food is put
up in cleanly fashion, the package
keeps IL In proper condition until il
-eaches the consumer"
But suppose il isn't put in cleanly
iashion--will not that very fact that
Z is in a package prevent the buyer
rom discovering this point?'
When that happens IL Is because
The buyer has not read the label. When
Won get a bottle Of ink of weak. poor
color Il is due TO the fact that you
don't purchase Il by name You ask
I'd for ink and nothing more. There
arc nationally known and advertised
brands Of ink of unfailine standard
excellence. The same is absolutely
true of food products When you find
a brand under name that has a
worldwide reputation for excellence
you count on its being a pure first
class product and. Il one article un-
der this name is Of high merit. the
others will be equal TO Il. That is
the manufacturer who puts up su
perior leaf lard can be counted on I,
produce an equally good butter, o.
aanned corn. or raspberry jam. I'll
nas got TO keep up his standard
"Of course you cannot poke you
finger into carton-protected butter o
laste lard that comes I'm air-tight
cleanly pals" Mrs. Feuling went ol
to say but neither can anyone else
which. when you think about H.. is
great comfort"
"The federal pure food and drul
aw was an excellent thing, inasmucl
rs It made the label on a food or drus
product toll the truth. although no
necessarily the whole truth. After the
law went into effect. II tho label on ;
bottle of tomato catsDp said pure TO-
mato catsup' YOU could rely on It's be
ing that and not n mixture of chemi
cally treated peelings. But the Law
doesn't go far enough TO insure thu
housewife getting quality as well al
purity: for that you must know th'
value OF n manufacturers name o
trademark
"This you see is my hobby. Yol
