The management takes pleasure in presenting this little vol-
ume, believing it supplies a long felt want on the part of the
American housewife. Our aim is to assist those desiring health
through right eating by giving helpful hints and suggestions.
Herein is a fine choice of carefully selected and tested recipes.
Diet is of the utmost importance in the maintenance of health.
Many erroneously hold the thought that dieting means starving
oneself. This is far from the truth. Expert dietitians are
agreed that the human body is composed of seventeen elements,
all of which are found in vegetables and fruit in their natural
state. The lack of one or more of these elements in the diet will
eventually cause ill health. Therefore it is essential that all
these elements be supplied through our daily diet. In order to
select the proper diet requires individual study, as the diet for
one person may not be entirely suitable to another.
Helpful hints are given suggesting methods of cooking and
preparing foods in an appetizing, nourishing and economical way,
retaining the food values, to the end that health and happiness
might be yours.
