All the recipes in this book have been prepared and used in The School
of Modern Cookery conducted by _The Forecast Magazine_ and have been
endorsed by the U.S. Food Administration. They have been worked
out under the direction of Grace E. Frysinger, graduate in Domestic
Science of Drexel Institute, of Philadelphia, and the University
of Chicago. Miss Frysinger, who has had nine years' experience as
a teacher of Domestic Science, has earnestly used her skill to make
these recipes practical for home use, and at the same time accurate
and scientific.

The above illustration shows a class at the School of Modern Cookery.
These classes are entirely free, the instruction being given in
the interest of household economics. The foods cooked during the
demonstration are sampled by the students and in this way it is
possible to get in close touch with the needs of the homemakers and
the tastes of the average family.

SAVE WHEAT

_REASONS WHY OUR GOVERNMENT ASKS US TO SAVE WHEAT, WITH PRACTICAL
RECIPES FOR THE USE OF OTHER GRAINS_

A slice of bread seems an unimportant thing. Yet one good-sized slice
of bread weighs an ounce. It contains almost three-fourths of an ounce
of flour.

If every one of the country's 20,000,000 homes wastes on the average
only one such slice of bread a day, the country is throwing away
daily over 14,000,000 ounces of flour--over 875,000 pounds, or enough
flour for over a million one-pound loaves a day. For a full year
at this rate there would be a waste of over 319,000,000 pounds of
flour--1,500,000 barrels--enough flour to make 365,000,000 loaves.

As it takes four and one-half bushels of wheat to make a barrel
of ordinary flour, this waste would represent the flour from over
7,000,000 bushels of wheat. Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of wheat
on the average are raised per acre. It would take the product of some
470,000 acres just to provide a single slice of bread to be wasted
daily in every home.

But some one says, "a full slice of bread is not wasted in every
home." Very well, make it a daily slice for every four or every ten
or every thirty homes--make it a weekly or monthly slice in every
home--or make the wasted slice thinner. The
