Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hints to Housewives: On How to Buy, How to Care for Food
As we will likely have to send to Europe this year as much or even more food than we did last year, we must, each and every one of us, do everything we can to economize and save the waste in order to avoid a shortage among our own people and keep down the cost of food as much as possible.
The entire country has been aroused to the necessity for larger crops; and greater quantities of food are being planted in the hope of raising enough to meet the pressing needs of Europe as well as to supply our own people.
Not only are the farmers trying to meet the patriotic call that has been made on them for larger crops, but people all over the City and State are lending a hand toward solving the country's food problem by utilizing yards and vacant lots for vegetable gardens, in the hope of raising at least enough for their own use, thus releasing that much food for the use of others who have no land that they can cultivate.
Every housewife can do her bit towards solving the food problem by simplifying the meals she serves and by seeing to it that not one bit of food is wasted.
We have prepared this little book with the object of offering some practical hints as to the various ways in which economies can be effected and the waste saved.
