purity and quality in all dealings
with food questions. it is especially so
when considering havoring extracts.
So far az purity is concerned, this
group of foods is protected by the
Federal food law just as are others
The housekcener, however, has vari-
GUS problems to consider. She should
invariably insist on purity. but oc.
caSiOns may arise, when she will
wish to have a varying standard as
to quality. When such variation
does not affect the health of the fam.
lily, it is perfectly legitimate.
Take the matter of vanilla extract.
Without doubt. the true extract is
more satisfactory in all ways than
the synthetic. Quality is always to
be desired. But the true vanilla ex,
tract is considerably more expensive
than the imitation, and the housewife
will do we'll to inform herself as to
the exact difference between the two.

can readily be seen that 1t is not harm

practically the sole difference between

when we may indulge our possibly
aristocratic tastes IN extra quality
whether in vanilla extract or in some
