THE PROGRESS MEATLESS COOK BOOKThe prevailing age of enlightenment in the art of producing foods that are wholesome, yet inexpensive, has long called for a cook book devoted to edibles within the reach of the family with the ordinary income. Every housekeeper knows that the familiar phrase, High Cost of Living, is not a myth, but a very troublesome reality. The cost of meat is more than double that of any other item containing the same amount of nutrition. The large number of families who have been forced by economy to eliminate meat from their diet will find The Progress Meatless Cook Book adapted in every way to the peculiar needs of the times. Those who have not been compelled to taboo meat will find the suggestions contained therein to he practical and well worth a careful consideration.

This book is also gotten up to meet the wants of young housekeepers who wish to use plain, practical methods of keeping house in such manner that they do not spend all or even one-half their days in the kitchen: who wish to manage their household so sensibly that the feeling of drudgery is removed, and they can be "chief cook and bottle washer" if necessary, yet meet with a smile the husband coming for meals.

The "tired out" housekeeper who spends so much time planning and executing the family cooking and the serving of varied and elaborate meals, that she has no time to devote to the socalled recreations of life, frequently feeling obliged to give up everything to prevent a "complete nervous breakdown," will find this book a savior.

Contains 700 carefully complled receipts and formulas indispensable to modern culinary cleanliness and the preparation of healthful foods.

Attractively bound in white oilcloth. Price, postpaid, $1.00; postage, 10c. Address The Vegetarian Co., Inc., 610 Michigan Blvd., Chicago.
