Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 312, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1918 — Communal Kitchens. [ARTICLE]

Communal Kitchens.

The latest proposal for the elimination of waste in food and the supply of meals at minimum cost in England, includes, what for .a better term Is called, communal feeding. The communal kitchen has been proposed on several occasions but, save tor a few spasmodic experiments, it ha« not been given a thorough trial. Lord Rhondda is interested in the new proposal and acting with a committee of social workers he is devising plans to give the scheme a real test. With so many women doing war work and with consequent neglect of household duties, some such plan as is proposed will have to be carried out if th* rising generation is not to suffer seriously in health.
