Three New Boohs for
Housewives
The Home and Its Management
Mabel Hyde Kittredge (The
Century Company.)
The name of the author of this
book is a very familiar, one to peo
ple who have been interested in home
economics work from the standpoint
of the social worker. Mabel Hyde
Kittredge has established housekeep
ing centers in the poor districts of
New York, where the women of the
neighborhood may come to learn all
the principles of housekeeping. No
doubt the primary purpose ot ner
new book is to fill the needs of such
a center. The information is very
simple, clear and concise, and withal
accurate.
The scope of the book includes the
whole field of home economics. The
house itself is discussed in regard to
: its choice, Sanitation, furnishing and
care. The handling of the household
finances is also discussed. The food
problems include food values, prin
ciples of cooking with simple inex
pensive recipes, and special instruc
tion in food for children and sick
people. Some information on home
care of the sick is also found.
It seems to me that this book
would be of special value to the wo
men who are interested in civilian re
lief at the present time, and in gen
eray any housewife would be interest
ed in the material which it offers.
War Time Breads and Cakes. Amy
L. Handy (Houghton Mifflin
Company.)
This little volume, in its kitchen
binding of white oilcloth, comes to
us with a special recommendation
from Sarah Louise Arnold, the dean
of Simmons college, who says, "I am
very glad to welcome Mrs. Handy's
book of recipes entitled 'War Breads.'
I ha.ve talked many times with Mrs.
Handy concerning her work and have
read her manuscript. She has been
an able and interested contributor of
experiences in food conservation,
testing out in her own kitchen the
various compositions of cereals in
bread. Mrs. Handy has brought to
thiS experiment intelligence, ability
and enthusiasm. If all kitchens were
in the same way made experimental
laboratories we should surely have
ample instruction for all who need
help in choosing their food."
Mrs. Handy's book. lives up ex
actly to its title. It includes many
war breads and cakes, the chief value
of which is that they have been work
ed out in her own kitchen and have
proved successful. One of the best
parts of the book is the chapter on
Suggestions for the Making of Bread
Without White Flour. She includes
there general points that she has
discovered, for instance, "The oven
should not be as hot as for white
bread; it should be at a temperature
'so that a small loaf will not be over
done in an hour and a quarter." Such
information is exactly what we all
need; for it is just such pointers that
make the difference between success
and failure with, the unfamiliar flours.
Everyday Foods in War Time Mary
Swartz Rose (The Macmillan
Company.)
It is always a pleasure to read any
thing from the pen of Mrs. Rose,
for her writings have that rare com
bination, accurate scientific informa
tion and readableness. About a year
ago "Feeding the Family," by the
same author, was reviewed in this
column. That volume presented the
best information available on family
dietaries and presented it in a way to
interest every intelligent housewife.
This new book discusses food prob
lems in the special light of the war
situation.
The book includes a discussion of
the principles of food conservation
with the bearing that the new foods
have on health. The interesting style
of the book may be judged from the
titles of a few of the chapters: "The
Go-Operation ...
Miss Gross will be very glad to
receive suggestions for the home
economics column or to answer, as
far as she is able, any questions
that her readers may ask.
Milk Pitcher in the Home.; Sugar
and Spice and Everything Nice, and
"On Being Economical and Patriotic
at the Same Time."
The sound common sense of the
author is shown in her attitude
toward food, as the following pas
sages, selected at random, bring out:
"A chocolate layer cake that takes
two hours out of a day is no more
nourishing than the same materials
served as poached eggs, bread and
butter, and a cup of chocolate. It is
worth while to train a family to enjoy
the flavor of simply prepared foods,
and to realize that the food is the
thing which counts and not the way
it is dressed up.
"Some people discriminate against
canned and dried vegetables because
they do not taste like fresh ones.
This seems rather unreasonable,-as we
want a variety of flavors in our diet
and might welcome the change which
comes from this way of treating food
as well as that which comes from dif
ferent methods of cooking. Nobody
expects a stew to tasfe like a roast,
and yet both may be good, and we
would not want either one all the time
Instead of regretting that canned
peas do not taste like those fresh
from the garden, let us be glad that
they taste as good as they do. Would
we like them any better if they tasted
like cornmeal mush?"
Her closing words strike the key
note of the book:
"Most of us want to eat our cake
and keep it, too to enjoy our food
and not pay for our pleasure; to do
our duty towards our country and not
feel any personal inconvenience. But
the magic table of the fairy tale is
not for a nation at war; food is not
going to come at the pressing of a
button during this conflict. It we are
tq escape bankruptcy and win the war
we must eat to be nourished and not
to be entertained."
New Potatoes Appear and
Old Crop Risps in Price
New potatoes are on the market
and may be had at 8 1-3 cents a
pound. Simultaneously with the ap
pearance .of new potatoes, the old
crop starts to rise in price, the job
bers already making an upturn and
the retailers preparing to follow suit.
Cauliflower is now off the market,
only the tail end of the crop being
found in the stalls. Head lettuce has
risen in price to 12J j to 15 cents per
head, just double what it has been
selling at for the last week.
Peas, wax and green beans are IS
cents a quart, and asparagus has taken
a jump, being 7J2 :ents a bunch,
whereas it was S cents. "The cold
has retarded its growth locally, and
this is the reason for the increase,"
says Al King, manager of the grocery
department at Hayden Bros.
Southern beets, carrots and turnips
are selling for 5 cents a bunch, and
water cress, grown locally and nice
and fresh, is selling for 4 cents a
bunch.
Mushrooms are selling for 25 cents
a pound, the cheapest they have ever
been in Omaha. Their plentifulness
is the reason for their cheapness.
Cabbage is high, selling for 6 cents
a pound.
