A Handy Wartime Cook Book
Blu Mrs. Christine Frederick
1;-.;,.,;sh.d Autborjtv On Household Efficiency

Every woman may feel that her
own kitchen Is q laboratory, and
her own pots and pans the equip
ment with which to save food and
thus make bullets for the Huns
Surely women who have formerly
thought housekeeping only an old
Job" can feel that they are now
on q par with chemists, research
workers and other professionals,
seeking greater accuracy and truth.
In her neat uniform Of Hoover
blue, each woman IN her kitchen
can immensely further the work
Of food research. It is not neces-
sary to 60 to Washington, but
merely to stay in ones own
kitchen and seek greater knowl
edge about more adaptable COM
binations and more wholesome
dishes.
A good plan Is to place the box
Of recipes on the shelf over the
work table. A piece Of plain win
dow glass the required size may
be placed over the front card in
order to keep 1t clean. There Is
also a manufactured card index
protected by two white metal or
celluloid ends, which is excellent.
This may be read from either d.
rection, that is, the card may be
written on both sides, and the box
viewed from either ends. One
clever woman got her handy man
around the house to fasten the IN
dex box to q little sliding shelf, or
drawer which she can easily pull
out into view when needed or push
back when not in use.
The box may be covered with
white oilcloth or to match other
kitchen trimmings. It Is q good
plan to have q pad Of paper and
a pencil hanging near, on which
suggestions, improvements and
other remarks about the recipe
may be written down while 1t is
being tested.

worked with barley -four for q
long time until she finally achieved
a delectable barley gingerbread.
She had varied considerably from
the Government recipe and made
an original creation.
After her experimenting was
over and she had q really stand
ardized, or perfected recipe, she
wrote down on a card the exact
quantities, the time Of prepare
ton, the cost and approximate
amount. In this way she had
more than a recipe-she had, you
might say, q scientific thesis on
the whole subject Of barley and Its
use on a batter type Of bread. The
same thing occurs often with other
dishes, in the use Of cereal loaf"
and In other "camoufiaged" and
conservation meals, where a card
should be used on which to write
the final, perfected result.
One cooking shelf which the
author viewed recently was GER
tainly q bad appearing place. Clip
pings and booklets were loosely
pinned against the glass doors OF
the cabinet. Other booklets were
hanging up with q string, more
clippings were stuffed in the back
of the regular cook book. One
sudden jerk while at work would
have brought the whole litter down
upon the work table.
The small son of this particular
housekeeper was enlisted land
bribedD to assist in cutting. past
ing and putting the recipes in or
der. Several hours work resulted
in one neat box with about thirty
headings, and some seventy-fve
chosen recipes all arranged in or
der, and once so arranged 1t was
easy to continue the order and ar
rangement.
The amount that a recipe makes
should never be omitted from the
card, because one Of the chief
faults of the old-time cook-books
was that the beginner in cooking
never knew whether her pudding
would make enough for four or 9
dozen. In these times Of high food
cost 1t is important TO standardize
the recipe down to q small unit,
let us say for three or four peo-
pie, and write the number approx
mateiy served alongside the recipe.
Cost is another important item.
Frequently a recipe looks tempting,
but often when 1t Is tried 1t will be
found to make too serious q raid
on ones pocketbook. How much
better to write down the approx
mate cost so that a woman who Is
keping house on an allowance will
have some means Of judging
whether this particular recipe
comes within her means or not!
II women are really to make the
kitchen the housewives trench"
accuracy and reliability in the orig
inal recipes she develops are i'm
portant weapons in her assistance.

Just now every housewife Is
receiving from the Govern
ment, from her local con-
servative food kitchens and other
sources, many recipes and food
suggestions. What is she doing
with them all? Probably she stuffs
the leaflets and odd clippings into
the back of her cook book or be-
tween the containers in her pantry.
But It would be very easy for her
to keep these on fling cards. SO
that they would be easily found
when wanted, -
The only materials necessary
are a small card index box (such
as can be purchased for about fifty
cents at any good stationer's),
package Of fifty or a hundred
cards, size 6 Z 4 inches, and a sci
Of guide cards. preferably with
celluloid tabs. The housewife
must first decide what headings
are to be written on the guide
cards, such perhaps as Breads"
Cookies" Desserts without
Eggs" Desserts without Sugar"
''Meatless Meals" etc. She can
arrange any number Of headings
she prefers, and place them alpha
betieaIIy in index box. Then on
each separate 6 K card she may
write or paste the desired recipe.
This special card, let US say
Bran Muffins," or Barley Gin
gerbread," would be placed under
the main heading Breads" Then,
when the housewife needs any
special recipe. all that is neces-
sary is to finger over the guide
cards and pull out the required
card.
The criticism Of the usual cook
book is, that as the leaf opens,
two or three recipes are in view
at one time on the page. 1t some
times happens that the cook fol-
lows parts Of different recipes with
disastrous results! Again, the
small leaflets or booklets being
now issued 50 abundantly neither
hang up, nor lay down on table
very satisfactorily. II the woman
lays them in front Of her while she
works she is likely to get the pages
spattered and soiled from the food
materials.
From the sanitary point Of view
therefore the filing system has ad-
Vantages. The worker may take
out q clean card before she begins
to work, hang 1t in front Of her,
and then not touch 1t again until
after her cooking is finished, when
she may again lay away the card
with clean hands. It is a good plan
to punch a hole in the centre Of
each card and place a small cup
hook or nail into the shelf or cabi-
net in front so that the card may
slip on this nail and thus be
plainly in sight during all the
work.
When so many women are
periodically testing out substitutes
it sometimes takes quite a while
before a desirable result is OBJ
tanned. For instance, one woman
