are those who will coni end
that package goods in their semi
ready condition are more economical
because they require less fuel for prep
aration. The time for cooking raw
cereals and other products may be
shortened bv soaking them over night
or by cooking them in a double boiler
while other foods are being prepared.
All cereals are best when cooked slow¬
ly for a long time. They may he plac¬
ed in the fireless cooker at. night and
be ready for breakfast by next morn¬
ing.
The appeal of the Food Administra¬
tion is to the effect that we substitute
essentials for non-essential foods. Tim
use of bulk cereals is one of the ways
in which this end can be brought about
without in any sense improperly cir¬
cumscribing or limiting the nutrition
of the family or the wholesomeness of
the ration provided therefor.
WHAT INVESTIGATION SHOWS
An investigation of this subject has
recently been made by Sherer-Gilb-tt
Co., of Chicago, for the benefit of the
State Food Commissioner of the State
of Indiana. This investigation was
quite exhaustive and revealed the fact
that (ho cost of package goods paid by
the consumer over bulk goods varied
in most instances from 3 up to 20
cents a pound. The enormous self im¬
posed tax the American consumer has
put on himself in the use of package
goods is self-evident, as literally mil¬
lions of packages are consumed in this
country every year.
As an illustration of the nature and
extent of this tax, it appears that oys
ter crackers cost ten cents per pound
more in package than in bulk; ground
pepper 18 cents per pound more in
package than in bulk: rolled oats 2 to
3 cents more; pearl hominy 2.5 cents
more; soda crackers 8 cents; graham
crackers 12 cents; macaroni 5 to B
cents; cocoa 20 cents; pearl barley 9
cent: corn meal 1 to 3 5 cents;
ground ginger 20 cents. At a time
when economy is absolutely essential
and the dollar has shrunk in value to
a lower level than has been known
in many years, and when the pur¬
chase of the largest amount of nutri¬
tious food for a given sum must be
the slogan of the people of the United
States, these facts seem to indicate
that the question of buying food in
bulk rather than in small packages is
worthy of the careful consideration of
every housewife.
