Food Economy. .TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-If Sir Arthur Yapp, in his campaign for food ecouomy, hupes to get at the average household he must devise somue means by vhich the average housewife can readily understand what Lord Rhoudda is doing to help the country in the coming food stringency. It is no good touring the country making fluent speeches. weich only a few women hear or read in the papers. The average woman does not know what Lord Rhondda has already done to fix prices, because she does not read the Orders made by the Food Controller, and of those who do read the papers few are able to understand the Orders, therefore they rely entiely on what the shopkeepers choose to tell them. The result is that many shop- keepers still continue to mislead their customers, and their customers calmly endure being defrauded. What Sir Arthur Yapp should do When he starts his patuphlet campaign is to issue short pamphlets para- phrasing the lood Controller's Orders in a clear and simple style, which as easy for the average woman of simgple educatiOn to understand. The other day, Sor instance, I heard a woman, who wans reatly puzzled about the price of mutton being so higbl if the whole- sale price of home-killed mutton was Ss. 8d. a stone;- she had not read the Meat Order properly, and had iorgotten that in dead meat one stone equals 81b. iunstead of 141b. Then. again, how nmany are bothered about the present Coal Orders. Tlherefore, I think, short, abridged pamphlets stating the principal points of all such Orders should be obtainable at every post- office, the size of such pamphlets should be about large crown 8vo., a size that, folded in half, could easily go into anv woman's purse, and a brown paper cover should be also obtainable with a paper fastener in the corner so that as each new order was issued the extra leaflet could be added to the collection. I am. yours 'aithfullv. WOODROFF'E PHILLIPS. FOOD ECONUMY.
