CNIOX COUHTYGIBX SOLVES
- PROBLEM.
lllaa Clara Pierce bt La Grande who
" kai Just completed a course In da
nestle science at the Oregon Agri
cultural college, has an Interesting
article on borne problems In the June
number of the Oregon Countryman,
the monthly ma'gazlne published by
the students of agriculture and home
economic. . Miss Pierce was a member
-of the Margaret Snell club, composel
f the domestic science and art stu
dents of the college, a member of the
Waldo Hall club, made up of the
girls in the dormitory, and of the
8orosls Literary society, of which ahe
was president this year. -
"During the past year there has
teen given at O. A. C. a course In the
Domestic Science department called
home economics, Its fundamental aim
being to teach economic marketing
and systematic management In the
preparation of meals," says Miss
Pierce In her article,
"The meals served were under the
entire management of the women tak
ing the course, two women at a time
having charge of the marketing, prep
aration and serving. The cost aver
aged 15 cents a plate, once, however,
going as low as ten cents a plate and
once aa high as 35 cents. The result
was astonishing; It seemed almost In
credible that such nourishing and at
tractive meals could be served at such
little cost.
"The high cost of living today la
ot sue so much to the untrained and
careless preparation of meals as o
the fact that the housewife does not
know how to buy. Iu catering to her
'family ahe is obliged to decide be
tween two Issues; one to pay more in
cash and try to economise In cooking,
-the other to buy less expensive artl;
les of food and be wmpelled to pay
;a high price In time, labor and atten
tion in preparing the food for the ta
tle. Too often in the former method
chosen. Expensive steaks are pur-
chased when cheaper cuU of meat are
aa nourishing aad with a little care
ran be made aa attractive. Buying
mm ana vegeiaujes out or season is
an expensive luxury that the Ameri
can family Indulge Into no little ex
lent The housewife has not beea
-trained to know how to buy nor what
-to buy. Thus this course baa-saught
o give the student a dear Idea of the
Vhlnd of food a given sua of money
can buy and. bow It can be prepared.
"The student in preparing these
jueals put Into actual practice, knowl
edge previously acquired In the fore
running course of tudy and although
the scientific mansgement of -eals
vac emphasized it was not the only

"One luncheon given was seed to
Tour people, cost 15 cents a pla't and
consisted of three courses. Tbi menu
and cost are as ft Pews: Beef rour
lettes, 10 cents; luacheoo rolls,. 4
tents; potatoes on half shell, 3 cents;
u earn peas. 12 cents;.. egg siUu. 10
cents; ginger cream, 15 cents; gingei
nuts, 3 cents; coffee, 2 cents.
"The lowest priced luncheon given
waa served to six men; cost ten cenUs
per plate and consisted of three cours
es. Following is mo menu: bosidu
baked beans, 10 cents; brown broad.
6 cents; lettuce and celery salad, Is
cents, peach shortcake and cream, IS
cents. .
"At another time the 'paper bag'
idea 'Was brought out. This style of
cooking, discovered by a French chef
few years ago, Is much In vogue
and has Us value in tnat the extrac
tions of mean and Jukes of vegetables
are kept in and the food is thus made
more nourishing and palatable. The
paper bag' luncheon that was giveu
was served to eight persons and con
sisted of two course and cost 15 cents
per plate. The menu was as follows:
Pork roast, 25 cents; baked potatoes,
8 cents; cream peas, 15 cents; tomato
pickles, 15 cents; luncheon rolls, 5
cents; ginger cream, 25 cents; wafers.
4 cents; coffee, 4 cents.
"The most elaborate luncheon given
during the year was a May day lunch
eon served to nine persons at a cost
of 35 cents n plate. Tee menu of six
courses was as follows: .Fruit cock
tail, 2 cents; halibut a'la Welsh rare
bit, 45. cents; asparagus and vlngar
ette sauce, 40 cents; veal birds, 55
cents; stuff (fed peppers, 25 cents; po
tato balls, 10 cents; egg salad and
cheese straws, 40 cents; strawberry
shortcake and whipped cream, 43
cents; coffee, 6 cents; water crackers,
10 cents and cream cheese, 25 cents.
"An unusual amount of stress was
laid upon the table decorations and
some of the effects were truly unique.
It was surprlsin gto aee what beauti
ful effects could be obtained wUh
such little means. It no money were
allotted for table decorations, the in
dents resorted to wild flowers and
ferns.. Some of the most graceful ot
the'deootratloaa were obtained by (be
use of such inexpensive things. Iu
most of U)9 luncheons given a definite
color scheme waa carried out, not or
ly in the decorations but also tn tho
menu.':,; ,;v .. ' ' :- "'v
"At least half the battle in cooking
lies la the, ability to make food: loos
attractlyev'and to aerve , It. properly.
The srevlng ef almost any meal ic a
careless manner detracts from' the
pleasure of consuming It To be ablt
to serve properly and to garnish a.
tlslcally Is an art In which few ex
cel. We need not be obliged--to enter
luxurious homes and large hotels-to

simple meal can be made attractive

at ranged and decorated table Is a
lieautlful thfpg and need not be ex
pensive. The one thing required is

" "But the greatest value the stu 1 tnU
obtained from this course lies In the
fact that each one was forced to de
pund on herself. Heretofore she bad
been shown what to do' and how to
do It, with the instructor dlre-t'ng
everjrthlng.
"If this course Is not the most Im
portant one in the curriculum of do
mestic science department it li cer
tainly the most practical. The pro
blems dealt with are problems met In
every home. This course Is a 'sum
ming up,' so to speak of knowledge
rrevlously gained and a putting Into
actual practice of theories learned before."
