COOKING PAMPHLETS BEING DISTRIBUTED

Congressman Peterson Has Supply for the First Who Ask—Suffergettes Get Busy. iW several years past a large force of scientists in the employ of the U. S, department of agriculture have been directing their investigations into the realm of cookery with a view of furnishing the housewives of the country with data relative to the mo§t economical and scientific wtay of preparing the foodstuffs for the table. The result of their labor have been printed in pamphlet form and Congressman Peterson, representating this district, has succeeded in securing a limited supply for distribution. Six pamphlets, namely, “Fish as a Pood,” “Cheese and its Economical Uses in the Diet,” "Preparation of Vegetables for the Table,” ‘The Economical Use of Meat in the Home,” “Bread and Bread Making,” and “Muttjpn and its Value in the Diet,” have been seelcted as covering the most interesting phases of the subject. Many radical departures from the old style are noted and especially in the vegetable list. By simply mailing a request to J. B. Peterson, 328 House Office Building, Washington, D. C., any housewife in the district can secure copies of these six pamphlets, which are veritable storehouses of valuable information which has been gathered at immense cost to the government.
