your stoves most men are single by preference and consequent- ly perhaps they should suffer from menu nwmntririy a disease which is best diagnosed by symptoms of lack of ap petite and indigestion but withal if you still do not choose to marry we to dictate aletter from the office asking the various food companies for their literature and recipes and you may he sure that all information thus obtained is good because each company is anxious that all recipes in which its products are used are accurate some of these book lets or pamphlets also contain menu suggestions present this material tactfully to the cook watch her reaction 1 also give her a list of foods and dishes which you like and which you dont like if you llkp tmnatip v well and wou like to have them lp various ways two or
