Community demonstrations for the
conservation Of food among members
Of Hoover Clubs are all proceeding sue
cessfully under the direction Of Miss
Amelia Doddridge. the Federal EXPERT.
Each demonstration witnesses new SUD
porters 10 food saving on the part Of
the housewives OF this city.
Miss Doddridge accompanies the
demonstration Of substitutes with an
instructive talk on the composition of
foods. She has found that many house
wives do not understand the component
parts OF edibles and that by explaining
TO the housewives what they should
know about food, the reason for sub
stitution and why the substitute can
accomplish the purpose Of the food be-
ing saved, that the object Is made
clearer.
Since Miss Johnson's lecture and
luncheon TO the Rotary Club members.
there have been many requests for food
conservation lectures from various
manufacturers, and Miss Doddridge is
accommodating as many Of these az
possible. She Is anxious TO put the
cause Of food conservation before the
men, because Of the complaints Of the
housewives, who say that while they
are willing TO prepare and cook sub
stitutes, that their husbands and sons
and brothers sometimes refuse TO eat
them.
The Food Administration is soon to
ask for additional conservation Of
