Should some little variations in price be noted in the foregoing recipes, please understand that this work extended over a period of four months, and recipes were priced in accordance with the prices current on the Public Market when written. However, most of the recipes have been revised to conform to the prices of October 31, 19^17, given on pages 35, 36 and 37.
The value of all this pricing (as
has been said elsewhere) is always more in the comparative than in the absolute cost. I trust it will prove as helpful to all who use this cook book in ascertaining which recipes are most economical, as it has to the ladies whose recipes fill this book, and who are entitled to your appre- ciation of their capable, disinterested and patriotic work.
