How, What, and When.

THE housewife with the greatest variety of material does not always produce the most palatable food for the table. Neither does the fault usually attach to her because of carelessness. Many begin married life without the knowledge of how to prepare food in the most wholesome way, and as they begin so they continue, without ever a question as to whether there is a better way.

The necessity of education on this point is very palpable, especially to those who travel much. To know how, what, and when to cook and eat, is an accomplishment worthy the ambition of any housekeeper. As far as may be, this is happily set forth in the work entitled, "Breakfast, Dinner and Supper." Unlike the "cook-book" of the period, this work first sets forth the relation of food to health, and the object of eating. In doing so it ignores those articles commonly used in diet that are manifestly hurtful, and banishes wine entirely from the table.

The book also contains valuable hints concerning "Hygiene of the Home." Under this head it discusses Diseased and Adulterated Foods; Warming and Ventilation; Draining and Sewerage, and Disinfectants. It is, in fact, a vade mecum in all that pertains to household matters.

The work contains 448 pages, and is sold only on subscription. The book is having a rapid sale wherever introduced. Agents wanted for the Pacific Coast States and Territories. For circulars and terms to agents, address, PACIFIC PRESS, Oakland, Cal.
