No woman should try to run a home and feed a family without her reference books on foods and health, any more than a doctor or an architect should try to heal or build without his authorities and his library at hand. A woman’s job of home-making can not be done by rule of thumb and intuition. It needs training and “know how.”

The books here listed are simple, easy to read, and will be an ever-present help in time of trouble and doubt occasioned by illness, convalescence, the feeding of the very old or the very young; or they will put inspiration into the routine task of three meals a day, even if no special dietary problems present themselves. Feeding the family scientifically is the way to keep trouble away, and it is not beyond the capacity of any woman if she will give up-to-date “food fashions” the thought she does to styles in clothes.
