Patriotic Food Economy for the Well - to - do. (National Food Economy League,

3 Woodstock Street, Oxford Street. 6d.)—The authors of this pamphlet, taking for granted " that every British housemistress wishes to live up (or down) to the standard required by patriotism," gives some very useful advice as to how she can place " her domestic arrangements on as economical a footing as is compatible with the health and efficiency of her household." A reduction in the actual consumption of food, simplified cooking, and the arrangement of meals are some of the points touched upon, and the pamphlet also gives a sample week's budget for six adult people and a sample week's menu.
