The food problem of today, of our nation, therefore, has as its most conspicuous phase an international character.  Some of the questions which the book considers are: 

What is the Problem in detail?

What are the general conditions of its solution?

What are the immediate and particulars which concern us, and are within our power to affect?

And finally, what are we actually doing to meet our problem?

FOODS AND HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT

Treats specifically of foods, their production, sanitation, cost, nutritive value, preparation, and serving, these topics being closely interwoven with the practical aspects of household management; and they are followed by a study of the household budget and accounts, methods of buying, housewifery, and laundering.  It includes about 160 carefully selected and tested recipes, together with a large number of cooking exercises of a more experimental nature designed to develop initiative and resourcefulness.

The book is new, practical, and economical.  It is well illustrated and attractively bound.
