men and women were cooks" Why 20 so far?
There are just as good cooks today as there
were in Revolutionary times. As a matter of
fact, the food we eat today is, on the average,
far better than it was then. 1t is better in orig
inal quality and it is prepared better.
What saved the pioneers from chronic indi-
gestion was the hard manual labor they per-
formed. They sort Of worked off, what they
consumed.
Do not misunderstood me. There have been
wonderful cooks for ages past. No doubt many
a family in olden times had splendid food.
