mrs. PATTON'S IDEA

ont where the Hustler might increase
its usefulness and popularity among
those who hold sway over the use
hold.
varied menues in magazines ana
but like most readers,
finds many of these impractical since
''the recipes and menues offered are
all MANNED, first, for people doing IN
door work and taking little exercise,
and secondly (also greatest OF all,)
thev are all prepared by northern
people, based on conditions and sup
pIies found in the north, and with
particular attention to Yankee
tastes"
Mrs. Patton points out wherein the
Hustler could render-a very good
service by devoting a department OF
the paper "'to recipes sent in by the
housewives throughout the county OF
dishes. prepared and used by them,
original recipes or changes which they
have worked in old recipes, to con-
serve meat, sugar, and wheat"
Patton adds: 81 think everybody has
learned a few things, and if these
were handed on, it might work a tire
mendous help"
"Another thing" writes Mrs. Pat

tice is that very few people realize in
any measure that if the war ended to-
morrow, the present food shortage
would be felt for months, perhaps
wears, therefore, / think we are all
going to be obliged to educate our
selves first, then our families, to the
fact that these substitutes are here
for a time and there is NJ use fussing
about why things r not as they used
to be, but that we must accept things
as they are"
The Hustler takes very favorably
to Mrs. Patton's idea, which she has
expressed admirably well. The Hust-
Ter does not pose as having knowledge
in culinary matters and has not been
enthusiastic about promiscuous pub
LEGATION of recipes, because it did not
know the practical from the impracti-
cal. Mrs. Patton's plan would elim1-
nate this uncertainty and bring be-
fore the people recipes that had been
tried and found valuable.
Knowing that the ladies were
cloaked with modesty and reserve in
this respect, the Hustler requested
Mrs. Patton to "break the ice" by
making the first contribution. This
she has ~cheerfully done and her expe-
riences are given below. She pledges
her help to this end in any way posi-
ble..
The Hustler would welcome me-
nues, recipes etc, from week to
week. 1t would liketo see enough
interest to- justify a regular de-
partment ever week. It would be
glad Co publish anything that has been
helpful, and increased interest would
be shown if the contributors would
to the use of their names
since readers would sometimes, per-
haps, want more detailed information
than would be given in the articles
and would like to know the
real source of information.
The Hustler's columns could be
used to good advantage in this re-
spect. It welcomes Mrs. Patton's
idea and trusts others will help furth-
er the case. Mrs. Patton's contribu-
ton follows:
