Teaching People to Eat
What is Good for Them
Miss MacKenzie, of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture Conducting a
Course of Demonstration Lectures in
the Scientific Selection and Preparation
of Food.
Do you know how and what to
cook, madam ? Du you know what
and how much you should eat, and
what and how much is good for the
digestion and general w ell being of
your land and master ; do you know
whether or not doughnuts or green
apples are a permissible diet for Willie
and why ; and can you tell offhand
whether half a. dozen cream putfe are
better for Mollie d digestion and com-
plexion than a Spanish onion and a
plate of dry toast ?
Perhaps you know all these things
The chances are you don't. 'Tao lis-
partment of Agriculture of the pro-
vince of Ontario thinks you don's, and
the gentleman who run that not un-
important institution have given the
matter somewhat more than casual
attention. Toeir conclusion is that
while most of the women of Ontario
have mastered the art of "feeding the
brute," and incidentally the brute's
betterbalf and all the little and big
brutelets in the family, there are lots
of thinge about food and its prepara-
tions that the women of Outario
should know—hut don't. Theee geut le -
men have decided, therefore, that the
Department of Agriculture will, in so
far as it is able to do so give every
woman in the province the opportuni
ty to learn about foods and cuokir g
least some of the important thinge:
that every woman should know.
With thin object in view the On
tarso Department of Agriculture some
two years ago instituted a course of
instruction in food valuer and the
proper preparation of simple foods, as
one of the Department's House -herd
Science courses As aright be infers, d
the twofold cbject of this partieuiat
course is to spread among the ps ople
of the province at large a knowledge
of the physioligical values of various
food stuffs, so as to promote the public
health by the intelligent use of the
most suitable foods for human con-
sumption, and to encourage a more
general use of the less expensive food•
stutfe, which as a rule contain rr ore
food value than the more expensive
articles.
The greatest factor in the success
which has met the Department'e ef-
forts in this direction has been the
Women's Institutes of the province,
These institutes, Which are scattered
all over the province, have cooperated
enthusiastically with the Department,
and through their large membership
a better knowledge of food values and
food preparation bas reached thou -
sande and thousands, of women in
Ontario.
Just • now a • course of lectures
on food values, and c'.emonstratione of
scientific cooking are being conducted
in the Town Hall, ander the auspices
of the Wingham Woman's Institute.
The lecturer and demonstrator is Miss
Mary E. MsrKenzie, B. A., a graduate
of Toronto University, where she was
specialist in Household scie ice. She
is one of a number of specially trained
women employed by the Department
of Agriculture in i•imular capacities. And every time they cried tor food
The course being given by Miss ATac- The country had to pay.
Kenzie inclddes ten lessons, and treats
of the proper selection ani preparation
of all kinds of fords, The lesi ons are
given in the Town Hall on Mundey
and Satutday afternoons. Only two
lessons have been given so far,, but
the forty Wingham ladies who have
been eliminated. The wider use of
cheaper, tied more suitable foodstuffs
has also materially reducer] the cost of
living in many famillee. For the good
results the Ontario Department of
Agriculture has already accomplished
along this line, it is to he highly com-
mended, and to the Women's Insti-
totes of Ontario which have been so
active in fur;her:ng the good work
great ci edit is due.
MR. A. H. WILFORD,
Wholesale Produce Dealer, (Succes-
sor to Gunn's Ltd.)
An important business deal has
been consummated which will mean
much for the town of Wingham,
in the passing of (Junes, Liruited,
Wholesale Produce Dealers. to Mr.
A. H. Wilford of town. Mr. Wilford
knows the produce business thorough-
ly. and is endowed with much energy
and business acumen, so there is no
doubt but what Wingham will be
made a great centre for the gathering
in by wagon, and railroad, large
quantities of cream,- butter, eggs and
poultry. Wingham is a natural centre
for the Northwestern section of West=
ern Ontario and Mr. Wilfoid will no
doubt make the most of this excellent
location.

The Demonstration-L"cturee now

Messrs. Abner Cosens and W, J.
Greer on Wednei d ry morning very
kindly audited the enbsct•Iption tickets

paign by the first four candidates.
Their attention was confined to these
four, as there was apparently no con-
testant with enough votes to make
him of her a possible winner of any of
the four big prizes, and as there were
several contestants outside of Wing -
ham who were expected to send in
busineee on the late mails Tuesday
which had not been received at the
Mine Messre. Oosens and Greer made
no effort to determine the standing of
the contestants in lower positions.
