Houston Telegram.
In these days of complex financial
and industrial systems, the reduction
of the cost of living is quite a diffi-
cult undertaking. Yet that Is the tusk
to which the
league lias set Itself,
cations are that it will succeed to
not even expected when the
league was organised.
This will be proven at the house-
wives’ fair which opened in the Travis
Street display window of the W.
Munn company Thursday morning.
The league’s work is yet in its in-
fancy, but it has succeeded in reduc-
ing the cost of living to a certain ex-
tent. if the movement continues to go
forward with the momentum It lias
accelerated it will accomplish great
things.

I ways the most nourishing.
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Fine j
lectured on cake-making and baked
tne most delicious cakes, using the
celebrated Ambrosia flour and Invinci-
ble lard. She also made several dem-
onstrations of the wonderful possibil-
ities of Karo syrup, showing what can
be done with this purest of all sac-
carine matter.
With Karo as the base of several
delicious dishes, from a culinary point
of view, Mrs. Fine all but wrought
miracles, and imparted an unlimited
amount of information to the ladies,
many of whom, no doubt, have become
Karo enthusiasts. With Karo Mrs.
Fine made divinity candy, apple sauce,
icing of the most snowy whiteness,
a? light as a feather and exceedingly
palatable, along with numerous other
“surprises,” in the art of cookery.
Mrs. Fine also demonstrates with
Kingsford’s corn starch, Chase & San-
born’s coffees and teas and extracts,
which are handled by the Moore-Sims
Grocery Co. She made Kingsford’s
corn starch pudding which was served
tc those present. Her cakes were dec-
orated with Mrs. Fine’s famous
steamed icing made of Karo corn
syrup. She advises the mothers that
if they arc to give their children
sweets the candy and sweets fed them
should be made of Karo, which she
states in the purest form of sweet-
ness.
Bread-making also came in for the
most cxtrafplinary attention, Mrs.
Fine demonstrating the merits of her
Dixie biscuits, bread and rolls, which
she baked In the celebrated Alcazar
oil cook stoves sold by Doubek &
Hawkins, the merits of which, as well
as those of the Caloric tireless cook-
ers and Leonard's cleanablc refriger-
ators, sold by the same firm, and Dou-
gall’s kitchen cabinets sold by the
Taylor-Hill Furniture Co., were dem-
onstrated by Mrs. Fine in a moat
practicable and sensible way. laying

these labor-saving
slties, as well as

Model Grocery Store.
The grocery store comes next and
it each article is marked in a
plain price. Both the vegetable and
fruit stand and the grocery were put
!n by the Star Cash Grocery company.
Everything to lie desired is seen in
the display -canned goods, cheese,
pickles, etc.
The marking of prices applies to the
meat market as well an to the grocery
store. Cured meats and fresh meats

market Is furnished by Tainme and

meats, there are meat products, sau-
sage, lard, chili blocks, etc.
In view of the fact that Tamme In-
stituted the 15c beef in Houston, this
stand is of especial interest to Hous-
ton housewives.
The Berwick Bay and Oyster

Here's a Prediction.
Here is a prediction of what
probably will accomplish:
The average monthly grocery bill
of the 20,000 families in Houston ami
suburbs will amount to about $35 —
this is mi estimate, as the writer is
not an expert on homo economics -
and this likely will be reduced to $30
through the activities of the House-
wives’ league.
Tills will amount to nearly 15 per
cent reduction.
The monthly grocery bill of all
Houston families is approximately
$700,000, or $X,400,000 a year.
A 15 per cent reduction would
amount to $105,000 a month to Hous-
ton families, or $1,260,000 a year
These are staggering figures, but
this prediction is not improbable. A
2-cent reduction on meats, half a cent
on bread, and similar other reductions
which may be brought about through
the co-operation of the housewives
will mean a saving of a million and a
quarter annually Io the homes of
Houston.

Mrs. Fine gave a splendid lecture
on food values and cooked and served
a well-balanced meal. She demon-
strated clearly the necessity of under-
standing the scientific value of meats
and vegetables, eggs, bread and milk.
Because a housewife pays a high
price for groceries does not signify
that she is getting a wholesome meal.
In these days when the cost of living
lias soared sky high, It behooves every
housewife to study how to buy and
select the most nutritious foods for
tiie least money expended. This can
be done only by knowing relative food
values. Plain foods are nearly al-
During
j this lecture Mrs. Fine cooked a Fili-
: Pino roast with tomato dressing, boil-
id cabbage with white sauce, which
she served with bread, butter, Kings-
ford's corn starch pudding, cake and
coffee.
The demonstrations and lectures
come to a close this afternoon at
which time rnaHy valuable prizes will
be given those who have drawn tick-
ets during the three days' school. The

Altogether the Good Housekeeping
Week and Free Cooking School has
been, a most wonderful success, in
fact by far the most successful, the
most valuable and instructive of any- at the same time economic.
Teaching the proper cooking of food
products also is one of the missions
of the league.
