Grondmo's Day

GRANDMOTHER planned
~ her meals on what was
ripe in the garden and
orchard, what was, available
in the big cellar and dairy
and pantry. There was al
ways plenty, and the family
could eat their fill of all the
good things they hungered
for.
Meals did not have to be
planned so carefully in
those days. Plenty OF food
was at hand and more times
than not everything eaten
at the family table was
raised on their own land, or
bought at a nearby general
store.
Now tn e homemaker's
question is, What shall we
eat today" or What shall

ner, or breakfast. Too many
busy women go into the
kitchen and haphaZardly Sc
lect something 10 cook. Or
they call the grocer and
order certain foods only be-
cause they are easily and
quickly cooked.
The results of this show
up in nutritional ailments
Of various kinds, which have
so many bad effects on
blood, bones and teeth, body
tone and general vitality
that the doctors as yet
haven't been able TO list
them all. But nutritiOnal
sickness is widespread in
this country; thousands of
boys were disqualified for
the armed services because
of such deficiency.

HOUSEHOLD ALMANAC
Plan
BY FLORENCE BROBECK
WOmen's Editor

THERE is promise OF
great efficiency and
4 tim e-saving in the
streamlined glass and shin
ing metal kitchens which,
some time in the future.
will be ours. AS part of
this efficiency in most of
the model displays which
far seeing manufacturers
have already set up, there
is a writing corner for the
woman of the house.
Maybe this corner for
menu planning, adding up
the grocery bills, copying
new recipes, is nothing more
than a writing ledge with a
small modern stool below it.
But it is a worthy descend
cnt of the comfortable old
rocking chair Grandmother
had in her kitchen. There
she sat to rest a few min
utes while the bread baked
in a coal or wood range. Her
busy hands kept on with the
mending or some special
knitting. And at the same
time she was thinking about
what she would cook for
next Sundays dinner when
the minister came home
with the family from church.
