Statistics show that the average man spends one-half of his income for food. Now if each man wastes five cents a day by bad methods of cooking, etc., the total waste for the United States in one year would amount to twelve million dollars, and the saving of this waste would mean the solving of the whole problem of shelter for the masses...
