English Boys Trained for Chefs.

With the general complaint of the high cost of living the Universal Cooking and Food exhibition which was recently held in London attracted more than usual attention. Demonstrations were given each day by continental experts in foreign household cooking. The London county councH-is training a number of English boys just out of school to become chefs and waiters. That the experimentls proving a suecess was shown by a luncheon, attended by more than 100 guests, which was both cooked and served by boys who are being thus trained. The feature which distinguished the exhibition from all those previously held was the effort to give a practical demonstration of the low cost at which nutritious food, properly prepared, could be placed on the workingman’s table. It was shown, for example* that a good soup for fifty people could be obtained for 58 cents, German pie for fifty people for $1.09, and many other nourishing dishes were exhibited which were made from what, in the ordinary household, is thrown away as scraps or waste through Ignorance of how it can be utilized.
