THE INTERNATIONAL. JEWISH COOK BOOK.
419 The Bloch Publishing Company.
Thoroughly practical and timely are
all these books, dealing with various
phases Of the theme suggested by the
first on our list. DR.. Howe, the Com
missioner Of immigration at this port,
has written most thoughtful and in
forming work, in which he analyses the
food situation in this and other coun-
tries, the agricultural resources and
TENS Of speculation, marketing, storage
and what not. 1t is book of all but
universal appeal and utility; to the
farmer, the merchant, the housekeeper
and all others.
Professor Findlay's treatise on
kitchen gardening is noteworthy for
both what it tells it's readers to do and
what it tells them not to do. 1t is re-
plete with instruction of the most spe-
| illustrated, forming a gardeners man
ual of high utility.
| Mr.. Kruhm's very practical garden
manual is said to be specially adapted
| to the Pacific Coast, but we are in
clined to think that most of it is equally
applicable to most other regions. 1t is
largely devoted to descriptions and rec
concentrations of the best varieties of
fruits and vegetables, and with its pict-
tions of lecturer on gardening and an
altogether impersonal and impartial
seedsman's catalogue.
DR.. Davis's treatise on school and
| home gardening is, as its title might
imply, textbook. Yet, like others of
the better modern textbooks, it is also
we'll designed for home and private in
struction, and would admirably serve
as gardeners manual. In fact, we have
| seen few works more commendable for
that purpose.
The development of cooperative and
community marketing has been q note
worthy feature Of the last year or two
in this country, and most hopeful one,
and it is pleasant to see the subject
treated in q thoughtful fashion in Pro-
fessor Cumberland's volume. He de-
votes himself, it is true, chiefly to the
example which has been presented by
the California citrus fruit growers. But
it is quite obvious, as he points out,
that their methods are quite applicable
to other regions and other products,
with a confident assurance of similar
results.
After the market for the producer,
the marketing by the consumer. Miss
Donham, an Instructor in household
management, gives to the housekeeper
the results of score of years of
observation and experience, to serve as
a guide in economical and satisfactory
cooking and serving as will conduce
to the highest degree of household
efficiency. The recipes, tables and
charts, which fill many pages, should
be a perfect godsend to the house
keeper.
Wheatless and meatless days are
doubtless terror to many who do not
know how tolerable they can be made.
apart from the inspiration Of war
winning sacrifice. Miss Partridge and
Miss Conklin have compiled copious
and comprehensive array Of toothsome
recipes for such days, we'll calculated
to relieve the embarrassment of the
housekeeper or cook and to give joy
to the diners.
So with war bread. Ignorantly or
unskilfully done, it is repellent; ex
pertly prepared, it is welcome to even
little volume gives numerous recipes
and suggestions for bread, cakes and
other wartime foods, tested and ap-
proved as excellent.
"Mrs. Aliens Cook Book" needs
nothing more than the name of the
author to denote its authoritative and
practical character. We should indeed
doubt if there were extant more
satisfactory and valuable general
treatlse on cookery ana compendium
of recipes of all sorts than hers. 1t is
calculated to serve all households,
from the simplest to the most elabo-
rate, and equally all individual tastes.
Mrs. Gillmore's Economy Cook
Book" is specially designed for those
who practise the comparatively sim
pie life at table. Yet its recipes com
prise many dishes which might we'll
tempt gourmand; though they are al!
intelligently designed for economy and
health.
"The International Jewish Cook
Book" is a Kosher" cook book and a
good deal more. There are many reel
pes in it which really have nothing
to do with the special methods of food
preparation followed by Jews, so that
it's appeal, while very complete and
convincing to them, is also in some
measure to all housekeepers.
Another still more special cook book
Is Rebecca Oppenheimer's, intended
for the unhappily numerous class who
suffer from diabetes or allied ailments
and who therefore require peculiar
diet. Prepared by an expert in cook
cry, herself diabetic patient and
therefore sympathetic, under the ad- |
