Some Aspects of Food Economy 



By MARY S. ROSE 



Everyday Foods in War Time *•*" 



This little book was written in response to a re- 

 quest for "a war message about food." It gives a 

 simple explanation of the part which some of our 

 common foods play in our diet, and points out how 

 the necessary saving of fat, fuel, sugar, and meat can 

 be made without a loss of health or strength. 



There are chapters on the Milk Pitcher in the 

 Home; Cereals We Ought to Eat; Meats We Ought 

 to Save; The Potato and Its Substitutes; Are Fruits 

 and Vegetables Luxuries? Sugar and Spice and 

 Everything Nice; On Being Economical and Pa- 

 triotic at the Same Time. 



Feeding the Family ^^^^ 



This is a clear concise account in simple everyday 

 terms of the ways in which modern knowledge of the 

 science of nutrition may be applied in ordinary life. 

 The food needs of the members of the typical family 

 group — ^men, women, infants, children of various 

 ages — are discussed in separate chapters, and many 

 illustrations in the form of food plans and dietaries 

 are included. The problems of the housewife in 

 trjang to reconcile the needs of different ages and 

 tastes at the same table are also taken up, as are the 

 cost of food and the construction of menus. A final 

 chapter deals with feeding the sick.
