Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-01-25

derS early, as there is a great demand
for books of this character at the pres
ent time, and owing to the high cost of
paper and the difficulty of securing ex-
pert pressmen only limited editions of
most of these works have been printed.
OF course, one IS not expected To pur.
chase all of these books. This represents
a complete library. Probably only one
should be purchased under each sepa-
rate head. 1t is important TO use the
books that you purchase, therefore ii is
advisable not to buy a whole lot of any
class and skim through them. The books
are probably named in about the order
OF their importance.
a library Of tins character would be
an invaluable asset in every town and
city. If these books are not in your
local library you should see that they
are placed therein as soon as possible
People who wish TO serve their com
munities to advantage and are willing
to invest a few dollars, can with pro-
priety purchase a set of these books
and give them to colleges, schools and
rooms maintained for recreation pur-
poses. There is probably not a school
of any size I'm Georgia which would
not be benefited by having a set OF
these books in its possession, certainly
every high school should possess them
whether located in an urba or a rural
community. If the board of education
cannot provide the funds needed then
an entertainment might be given and
the proceeds used for securing a set OF
these books for the local library.
These books will cost more than or
binary works because they are of 4
technical character, hence they are not
published in such large editions and it
costs more to prepare and distribute
them. They are well worth the price
asked for them, and if they are put in
every community and used by the girls
who will make up the next generation
of housewives We will have learned
much about the elementary principles
of nutrition and the proper feeding and
rationing of our people. Then should
the misfortune of a war like the pres
ent one overtake us, our southern peo-
pie would be in better position TO
meet the eXigencies of the situation
than we are at the present time. Up
to now, of course, We have been indif.
ferent about questions of this charac-
ter, because we live in huge new coun-
try supplied with a superabundance Of
every kind of food and ii was never nee
essary for US to save or economize or
think about the scarcity of food or food
substitutes or the cheaper or more eco
nomical foods All that, however. has
been changed by the war and we are
not likely In many years to again have
such conditions which prevailed rela-
tive TO the variety and abundance of
the food supply in the period ante-dat-
ing the outbreak of the war; 1t will
thus be necessary, whether peace or war
prevails, for US to study food conserva-
ton and the better and more definite
economical organization of our homes.
We should prepare for the instruction
of our people by acquiring food libra
ries, therefore, which may be made ac-
cessible at a small cost to thousands
of individuals. You cannot serve your
country better at this time than through
aiding and securing the establishment
in your community of a good food libra
