The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-02-03

By Frank Willis Barnett
 I know a young house keeper who literally runs to cook books. What else can young one do, when mother is out of reach?
 Well, this young woman has over 40 books on the cul- mary art. They range in price from 9 cents to $500, and in titles from Aunt Jane" to the great "Oscar,'' and yet at times she finds it hard to find how to bake a cake, cook a pie or broil a steak.
 You can't put too much dependence in the average cook book. Some are beauti- ful on the outside and lovely within, but their recipes won't deliver the goods ad- vertised.
 They are different from those who use this page, for that's their business. They have the goods they adver- tise, at the advertised prices, and they will deliver them. If you don't believe 1t, call them over the phone, or bet ter still, pay personal call and get the pick.
 It takes more than a cook book to get a meal. During the height of the silver craze, when the betting was 16 to 1 that the democrats wouldn't win, that profane but elo- quent man, Robert Ingersoll, got off a good one on the sil- verites.
 Said he, in denouncing the free coinage of silver (of course, you are a gold bug): "A silver certificate without dollars worth of silver or gold in the treasury to re- deem it, is no more a dollar than is a bill of fare a din ner."
 And so I say to you house keepers, both old and young, it makes no difference how many cook books you may have, or how many delightful menus you may make out, unless you go to market, or order in the goods, your hus- band will go hungry.
 But what's the use of
