Excerpt from 250 Meatless Menus and Recipes: To Meet the Requirements of People Under the Varying Conditions of Age, Climate, and Work The primary object of this work, therefore, is first, to educate the housewife and mother in the selection and preparation of food that will give the highest de gree of efficiency, at all seasons of the year, in the form of energy and health; second, to secure these results with the greatest economy and the least amount of labor. When the housewife or mother seeks information designed to change, improve and rationalize the fam ily table, she is apt to read into a maze of tables, terms and technical phrases, with which she is wholly un familiar and, with the duties of the home pressing upon her, she has no time to study and learn.
