PURCHASE MORE OF YOUR FOOD IN BULK.
SPEND LESS MONEY FOR FANCY PACKAGES
6r. Andrew M. Sou'e.
Under existing conditions, every
one is concerned as to how to pur¬
chase food economically. This is a
science and art iri itself, hut it has
not been recognized, due no doubt to
the superabundance of our food ma¬
terials in times past and their rela¬
tive cheapness as well.
For some years we have been study¬
ing and thinking along the lines of
sanitation which is right and proper,
and certainly there should be no mini¬
mization of effort, in this direction for
reasons apparent to all. At the same
time, it is possible that so-called san¬
itation may be carried to wasteful ex¬
tremes with the result that large quan¬
tities of money are spent by the con¬
sumer for a product which is attrac¬
tively wrapped hut which may con¬
tain a minimum amount of nutrition
where the cost is considered.
IThe consumption of package goods
in America has grown wonderfully in
the last few years, due to the fact
that they were so easy to handle, and
because of the growing desire on the
part of the housewife to secure semi
prepared foods which could be easily
and quickly made ready for the (able,
as a result of the scramble which has
taken place in this direction, more and
more varied and costly package goods
have come into use until now when
prices have taken such a sudden and
phenomenal jump, paying for these
packages entails a national burden of
expense amounting to millions of dol¬
lars annually.
BULK GOODS COST LESS
The use of bulk goods in the place
of package goods may be made at this
time the means of saving a very great
amount of money in the aggregate
without lessening the sanitary nature
of the food consumed so as to endanger
the life of the family. The purchaser
and ultimate consumer will not only
obtain many food materials at a lower
cost, but even in a more nutritious
form than many of the goods put up
in packages.
As an illustration of what is meant
by this statement, steam-cooked ce¬
reals are now extensively used. They
are supposed to he very economical.
The consumer should know, however,
that unless there was a good profit in
their manufacture it would not be un¬
dertaken. Many of our most general¬
ly consumed and widely used cereal
foodstuffs are sold in package form,
after having been partly steamed or
cooked at the factory. 'The advantage
of this method of preparing them for
table use lies in the fact that it only
takes about half the time to get them
ready for consumption in the home.
The hurried housewife thinks this is
a great advantage. She overlooks the
fact, however, that this partial cooking
injures the flavor and increases the
water content very materially.

The Reily—Taylor Company, New Orleans
will absorb about two cups of water.
One cupful of raw oatmeal will absorb
some four cups of water. This being
true, it is self-evident that one cupful
of raw oatmeal when cooked makes
about twice as much as one cupful of
steamed oatmeal when cooked. There
is no reason why oatmeal should be
sold in hulk from barrels should not
be as clean and wholesome as that
obtained in packages.
There are those who will contend
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 by 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 be 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. The
use of bulk cereals is one of fhe 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 wholesomeuess of
the ration provided therefor.
WHAT INVESTIGATION SHOWS
An investigation of this subject has
recently been made by Sherer-Gillett
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 the 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 Lmik; rolled oats 2 to
3 cents more; pearl hominy 2.5 cents
more; soda crackers 8 cents; graham
crackers 12 cents; macaroni 5 to 9
cents; cocoa 20 cents; pearl barley 9
cents; coni 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 Un ted
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.
MR. J. N. WOODRUFF
DIED AT M'OONDUGH
Splendid Citizen of McDonough Died
There Monday Night of Last Week.
Was Formerly of Covington.
Last week's issue of The Henry
County Weekly contained the following
account of the death of Mr. J. N.
Woodruff. He formerly lived In Cov¬
ington, where some of his relatives and
many old friends still live. They are
grieved at the news of his death.
“At his home in McDonough, at 10:30
o’clock last Monday night, Mr. J. N.
Woodruff breathed his last.
“As had been previously announced,
he suffered an attack of pneumonia
about two weeks ago, the serious na¬
ture of which caused grave apprehen¬
sions of family and friends from the
beginning, and when the end came it
carried a pall of sadness to his large
circle of friends.
“Mr. Woodruff was a remarkable
man in many respects His last spell
of sickness was his first, having never
been confined in bed from illness a day
in his life. He was always cheerful,
genial, liberal, ever ready to accommo¬
date, and possibly no man ever extend¬
ed more and freer favors than did ‘Un¬
cle Pomp' Woodruff. Consequently he
was a general favorite and one of the
characters greatly missed and mourned
by a community in his departure.
“Mr. Woodruff came from Covington
to McDonough twenty-five or thirty
years ago, making scores of friends
lien* from the beginning. He is sur¬
vived by liis widow, four sons. Messrs.
Jim, Tom, Otis, and Idus Woodruff,
and two daughters, Mrs. Comer Wood¬
ward, of Chicago, and Mrs. Verna
Wright, of Jackson, all of whom were
present at his bedside.
“Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. H. S. Smith from the Methodist
church at 11 o’clock Wednesday morn¬
ing with interment in McDonough cem¬
etery'.”
