By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Take gour daughter into the kitchen! That's the sound business opin- fon of George W. Perkins, And here's the logio backing it up: “There is a great lack of knowledge on the part of the purchasing public as to how to buy food. One reason for this condition arises from the fact that a large number of homes in New York are presided over by wives and mothers who, when very young, started to work at some calling that took them into offices, stores or factories. these positions they married and took up their new occupation of housekeeping with very little, if any, practical training. “Another reason fs that a large number of homes in this city are presided over by wives and mothers who were daughters in well-to-do families, where the prevailed that it was not necessary for the daughters to learn practical housekeeping. The result has been that these daughters married without knowing anything about housekeeping, and the extrava- gance and waste in these households due to ignorance and carelessness are farge and unnecessary dreins on the food supplies of this city.” These are the conclusions of the| she may delegate various duties mistaken notion ‘ Mayor's Committee on Food Supply, after an investigation of the high cost of living that has extended over sev~ eral months, ‘The committee's report puts the situation squarely up to the modern daughter gnd the modern wite.

He told me so yesterday when f talked with him in the Food Cominit- tee's offices at City Hall. He believes that a cooking certificate ought to go with every marriage certificate. “No girl has any right to marry untess she knows how to cook and keep house,” he said. “Such knowledge is essential for making an efficient home. In thie country far too many girls are without the ability to conduct a household properly because we have not made a point of giving them the necessary instruction in thie di- rection. Many of our girls are brought up| stenog- raphers, and take up work of this sort immediately upon leaving school.

LONDON, Nov. 14 (United Presa). —Heavy rains, accompanied by howl- ing gales, are now sweeping the trenches from the coast and on to- ward the interior. The unfavorable weather, which Is rapidly becoming worse, will mean a heavier death list, as care of the wounded will be more diMoult and many will die from exposure. The marshy ground in the districts which were flooded by the Belgians is clogged with bodies of the dead. Owing to the constant shell fire kept Up by both sides their burial has be- come @ serious problem. Burial par- ties are in dangét of being mowed down by the spraying shrapnel. Huge holes torn in the ground by the bursting of the larger shells are be- ing used as the graves of hundreds of fallen men. The soldiers have found that at least fifteen men and two or thrée horses can be buried in one of these caverns dug out by the big shells. An appeal is being made for heavy clothing for the troops. Their suffer- ing,is intense. They are never dry. ‘When it is not raining the trenches remain damp and cold, and a move- ment from a trench immediately draws a hail of fire from the enémy. In eomne places the German and Brit- doh trenches are ao close together that the Britons can hear the Germans talking. : Night attacks continue with amas- ing regularity. For this reason the troops are never sure of reet. With/the ki: joking overhead the men toh thelr al rolled up in wet blankets, their rifles always within reach.
