HOT MEALS ARE NOW
DELIVERED TO HOMES
CARRIED BY MOTOR TRUCKS
IN EVANSTON. SOLVES THE
SERVANT PROBLEM.

TRANSFORMATIONS servant
problm has been partially solved and
the Evanston continuity kitchen has
become a markedly successful insti-
tuition through the efforts OF three
women. whose latest contribution to
home keeping is the introduction OF
what they say is the most satisfactory
thermal container yet perfected. The
Evanston kitchen, which is now more
than a year DID, has become model
after which numerous similar ktch-
ems have been patterned all over the
country. 1t delivers hot meals to the
home by motor truck.
The Evanston kitchen is an out
growth of the war In the summer OF
1918 the Evanston Woman's Club con-
Quoted a particularly successful COM
munity kitchen. The clubs record Tor
the season was 1000 jars of fruits and
vegetables, most of which went to
charitable institutions. When the in
f1uenza epidemic struck the country
in the fall of that year the club ex-
tended its activities and for time
served an average of 200 meals daily
to those who were stricken and their
families. From these activities came
the idea OF a permanent kitchen and
its establishment was due to three
members of the Woman's Club, Mrs.
lanes A. Ode11 Mrs. Rufus c. Dawes
and Mrs. Homer H. Kingsley.
Evanston has been suffering from
shortage of domestic help" said
Mrs. Odell, in explaining the plan.
Everywhere women, especially young
mothers, are finding it impossible to
do all that is required of them, to take
care of the babies and the house, and
have any leisure for the Homecoming
of the husband. An increasing num-
Der OF families are frequenting the ho-
tells and cafes, sacrificing family lie
and interests to necessity. We felt
that by delivering dinners to each
home a service would be rendered not
to those families. alone, but to society
as well, by preventing the disintegra-
ton to the home and the humiliation
OF the family table"
The big problem, however, proved
to be an adequate container. From the
experimental stage to the perfected
aluminium, glass lined dish these wo-
men, who have now incorporated the
Evanston community kitchen and
serve an average of 100 meals every
evening, claim the distinction OF de-
veloping the best. thermal containers
now in use.
A complete meal is prepared in the
dishes, heated to a high temperature,
and the portions inclosed in a large
thermal container. The food retains
its original temperature approximately
six hours, so that it is still piping hot
when it is delivered to the patrons
home by motor truck. The empty
dishes are collected the following
morning and the housewife is relieved
of all concern over the evening meal.
For the service charge OF IS cents
for each meal is made, plus Is cents
delivery charges. The kitchen has al
ready proved paying proposition and
its success has been so marked that
representatives from Los Angeles to
Cleveland have visited the kitchen to
get pointers for establishing similar
institutions in their own communities.

TEN THOUSAND OSTRICHES
IN THE UNITED STATES
Expected to Keep Down Importation
Of the Cherished Plume.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Importations
of ostrich plumes into the United
States, which in pre-war days often
exceeded $6,000,000 annually and
which during the war dropped to less
than $4,000, amounted to $2,5O0,00O
during the past fiscal year, These hg-
ures were made public today by the
National City Bank.
Although there is an increasing de-
mand for the plumes, the statement
said, importations are not expected to
reach pre-war levels again, because
of the increasing industry in this
country.
The ostrich population in the Unit
ed States has grown within a com
paratively short time to 10000. Os-
triches frequently live more than So

The first of them were not completed

to land q lucky uppercut on the in
