GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
By Henrietta Grauel.
WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW

MIR Barrie says that when he wrote
"What Every Woman Knows" he HIM
self was ignorant of the subject he thought
the ladies so well informed upon but now
he is sure that this subject Is that food
will win the war. OF course every thinking
woman knows that, but some women do
not think They tat and crochet and
motor and dream away their days, and
know nothing of the happiness of dong n
big piece of work for our country's cause
Because these indolent women will not
think, the patriotic women must do their
own bit and then do the shirker s bit too
Intelligent women know something
about food production and distribution,
and know that conservation OF food Is
useless unless it is done consistently
There is n shortage of shipping facilities
In every direction, so this makes u neccs-
sary to use homegrown foods ms far as
possible. This helps the government to
save space in transports and freight lines;
it simplihes marketing; 1t makes you
choose seasonable foods that are sure to
be lower in price than imported articles.
These are three patriotic reasons Tor
studying the food market intently..
There are three more considerations
to keep in mind in connection with foods.
tOf these the good housekeeper will say,
"Nhy. | always considered those pointsl
But the really good housckceper If IN
the minority V-at least. the experts work
ING IN the department of the Food Ad-
ministration say they ore raritics) | his
division might he labelled waste; Tor
il asks YOU 10 buy pcrishablc foods IN the
smallest possible quantities, TO copslder
the quality Of your food rather than the
delicate flavor; and not to buy food that
is high-priccd because It Is scarce. 10
follow these three suggestions means
study and hard work. When YOU, or MIR
Barrie. declare that Food will win the
war" YOU saw, in short, that the whole
question is matter of proper nutrition
The men on the battle line and the women
i'm the home must have food enough to
produce energy sufficient TO carry them
through the day : work.
Since the task of household admins
tration has become 80 difficult we fTc-
quently encounter new word. 1t jumps

There il not a word about calories IN any
cook book YOU own. and yet you want to
feed some Of them to John and the kiddles
and wonder If you shall order them from
the grocer or the butcher.
What Is calorlc2 It has been defined
as a newly-invcnted explosive and as
breakfast food, hut il is Just the name of
