way to conserve foods is to can or dry them for future use when the harvests are abundant and foodstuffs are low in price. To encourage housewives to do more canning, preserving and drying, this book was prepared. It not only tells just what is necessary to obtain right results, but it answers the questions most frequently asked. Indeed, it is a very practical book and well adapted to the needs of housekeepers at the present day. "Food in War and Peace 99 HE United States Food Administration, in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture and the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, has issued a pamphlet containing a series of lessons for the special use of clubs and neighborhood groups, showing what the nation is asked to do about the food supply, and why. The lessons have been prepared in response to many requests for a simple and brief statement of the kind and quantity of food needed for health, and of the ways in which changes may safely be made, so that the requests of the Food Administration for saving, substituting, and using the various foods may be intelligently, rather than arbitrarily, obeyed. Each lesson has been prepared by a specialist whose authority is unquestioned. United States Food Administrator Hoover has explained the present situation in his discussion of "Food and the War"; Dr. Graham Lusk, of the advisory committee on food utilization of the Food Administration, has told us what food we should use for a day, and has explained "calories" and other puzzling terms; Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, who is associated with the Food Administration and with the War Trade Board, and who has spent much time abroad since the war began, has told us about wheat, why we should save it and how to use it. Other lessons have been written by Dr. C. F. Langworthy and Miss Caroline Hunt of the Office of Home Economics, and Dr. Charles J.

How Canning Widens Food Use Canning is not only a means of preserving food, but of making available to the public articles which would otherwise be consumed only in limited quantities. An instance is sauerkraut, the canning process being directly responsible for a tremendous increase in consumption of kraut, which could be widely distributed in no other form. The packing of beans in cans has brought about an even greater increase in their consumption. It has multiplied the demand many times. Hominy is eaten today in tens of thousands of households, which scarcely would have so much as heard of the existence of this most wholesome, nourishing, and economical food product. People are enabled, by the canning business, to have pumpkin pies the year around. The moral is plain. Large numbers of our people must eat no wheat whatever for three months, or this great task we have undertaken is doomed to ignominious failure. Already the great hotels have taken the pledge. Men and women of independent means have fallen into line. Which would you rather - eat wheat bread lavishly and live in a world tributary to Germany, or eat no wheat until next harvest and be free?
