 Cooking and Com binatiOn of Foods (By Helen Harrington Downing, De- .partment of Food Economies. Ar
 mour & Co)
 There--are certain basic principles in- vofved in all cooking. These if strictly followed will insure perfect results. There is no guess work in scientific cooking. Foods should be prepared carefully, all lowing no waste.
 Starches should be cooked long and thoroughly, proteins kept below the boil ing point, and fats at a temperature lower than the decomposing point
 The new housekeeper- starts with these points in mind, and even the simplest meal can be made most attractive and tasty. It is simple thing for a person to serve one food hot, but it appears to be quite problem for many housewives to serve everything hot at the same time. Very often oneor two articles of food come to the table lukewarm; for example, coffee and soup. Just as hot foods should be hot, so should cold foods be properly chilled. Salad greens and the salad mix |ture itself should be crisp and cold.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-18

The object of cooking is twofold. For aesthetic reasons we add to the attrac- dveness of the food and bring out new flavors orschange the original taste. For hygienic reasons, we sterilize foods to some extent in order to preserve them longer Certain combinations of food ruin the flavor of all. Again, certain combi- nations are not only attractive, but create he main course at dinner was served. on an appetite
 Too much cannot be said about proper combinations as regards food value. For instance, just the other evening when the main course at dinner was served. on the plate was mashed potatoes. boileo rice, and mashed turnips. Rice pudding was the desert at the same meal.
 It is not absolutely necessary that the home manager know how many calories there are in every article of food con- stunned by her family, but it is necessary, in this day and age, that the meals should be well balanced They should contain the proper amounts of protein (the meat or meat substitute element of the meaD, carbohydrates (sugnr and starches),

49,
You have made available funds With
which to carry on this campaign, but
there is no provision in the law au-
thoriing their expenditure for the
purpose of making the public fully
Informed about the efforts Of the gov
eminent. Specific recommendation
has been made by the attorney-gen-
eral in this regard. l would strongly
urge upon you its immediate adop'
ton, as 1t constitutes one OF the pre-
liminary steps to this campaign.
l also renew my recommendation
that the congress pass a law regulat-
ing cold storage as 1t Is regulated
for example, by the laws of the state
OF New Jersey, which limit the time
during which goods may be kept in
storage, prescribe the method OF dis
posing of them IL kept beyond the
permitted period and require that
goods released from storage shall IN
all cases bear the date OF their re-
CENT. 1t would materially add to the
serviceability Of the law for the pur-
nose we now have in view II 1t were
also prescribed that all goods re-
leased from storage for interstate
shipment should have plainly marked
upon each package the selling or mar
ket price at which they went into
storage. By this means the purcasnel
would always be able to learn what
profits stood between him ana the
producer or the wholesale dealer.
would also renew my recommends
ton that all goods destined LOT IN
terstate commerce should In every
case. where their form or package
make it possible, be plainly marked
With the price at which they le1t the
hands Of the producer.
We should formulate a law requ1r
irg a federal license Of all corpora
tons engaged in interstate commerce
and embodying in the license, or II
the conditions under which 1t is to d.
issued, specific regulations designed
to secure competitive selling and pre-
vent unconscionable profits IN tn
methods of marketing. Such Law
would afford a welcome opportunlt.
to effect other much needed reform
in the business of interstate shlI
ment and in the methods of corpora
rions which are engaged in 1t; but 10
