9. Sunday dinner should be pleasing and a little different from that of other days, but not such as to induce excessive indulgence. It is a disgrace to Christianity to worship God one hour then defile his temple - the body - the next hour by intemperate eating and drinking.

10. The place of "greatest good" in all work and recreation must be sought by woman as a direct guide to her emancipation. It is the place where her life harmonizes with the "Divine Idea" and no matter how simple the duty involved - be it only the cooking of an egg - it is a great and enjoyable work and must be done just right to be scientific A little carelessness destroys the usefulness, hence half the rushing labor of the present is of no real value and woman's hardship is due to ignorance instead of being a necessity. Loss instead of gain results from overwork, as well as from indolence or carelessness, hence the only desirable position to acquire is that of the restful "happy medium".

11. To save nearly half the labor of woman's work, dish handling must be avoided. No machine has ever been invented that is practical for this purpose. . The best plan is to wash each kitchen dish as it is used in the preparation of food at the sink, while the serving dishes should be washed without removing them from the table, each place being left upon rising from the table in as perfect order as when the meal began. This is accomplished after the manner of the finger bowl custom. At the close of the meal a crumb brush and tray, with a tiny bowl for receiving soft morsels should be passed around the table. These are followed by a glass bowl, larger than a finger bowl, and a cup towel. In the bowl is a long handled brush, with which to brush the inside of soiled dishes, each one being dried before putting it down. Each place is arranged in a moment ready for the next meal. The oldest child may sit by the father, arranging his place, while the mother attends to her own and the babys; all others should be able to save the mother labor. Once a week all of the dishes should be removed to the sink, scalded in soap-suds and polished, while the tablecloth and napkins are being changed.

12. As soon as the kitchen labor is reduced the mind is in better condition to regulate and simplify all other departments of domestic work, leaving time and energy for recreation, as well as to cultivate the mind and body.

13. The refinement of home work tends to emancipate woman from the dread of it. Preparing a pleasing repast in a pretty fresh house dress without fear of soiling it is a pleasure, where the necessity of dressing to handle flour, dough, and frying grease over a hot cook stove is burdensome to both mind and body. The hot part of some meals can be prepared at the table by using a chafing dish. Gas should be substituted for the cook stove if possible. It is only a matter of time when electricity will be in general use for cooking and it can be more easily regulated than other kinds of heat.

14. A large part of woman's emancipation is of a mental nature. The truth is women love to cook. To be deprived of the privilege forever would be nearly as great a sorrow as to be deprived of children in the home. It is the feeling of pressure, hurry, and overwork attending the present custom of excessive cooking that inspires disgust for housework and cooking. The abnormal appetite demands a heavy meal no matter how tired a wife or mother may be. When the whole family is educated to scientific living, knowing that the actual needs of the system are fully supplied by simple natural food, the mother can assert her right to be free from labor at times without fear of neglecting those dependent upon her. The new woman with her awakened consciousness of greater freedom and higher possibilities is the natural result of evolution, and her present unrest and protest against slavery in the home is only a necessary step to establish the home upon a higher basis - a scientific foundation - a plane where full justice to the father, the mother, and the child will be exercised, thus making long life an inheritance for future generations.

The emancipation of woman from long established habits of diet, and routine labor, is the hardest feature of scientific living. The constant repetition of thoughts and acts moulds the brain and body cells, influencing them for long life, or for early death, according as their nature is constructive or destructive. For generations woman has indulged the habit of cooking "any thing that is handy," or what the depraved appetite craved, until it seems a burden to plan for a definite result. The popularity of the overloaded table makes the conscientious housewife shrink from serving less, the spirit of hospitality cruelly forbids a saving of labor ; the model housekeeper is a slave to her regime of daily work.

A mistaken sense of duty keeps the mother frying doughnuts for her boys, and baking mince pies for her husband. Even missionary societies, whose sole aim is to elevate humanity, solicit preserves that are useless as food to send hundreds of miles to training schools because the girls are "starving for them while deprived of 'mother's' cooking".

The inclination to save food products being stronger at present than the desire to save life, is another cause of perpetuating old habits, as is illustrated by a good woman who suddenly became an enthusiastic Ralstonite. While attempting to persuade a friend to join her health club, the lady, knowing that the Ralstonite's pantry shelves were lined with jars of preserves and pickles, and hoping to fall heir to some of the "forbidden fruit," naively inquired what she would do with her preserves now that she could not eat them herself. "Oh, I will save them all up for my husband," was her quick reply.

Such conditions of error, because of ignorance and habit, can only be overcome as the possibility of prolonging life is realized, making the simple life popular, and encouraging the study of the chemical value of food. Men as a rule prefer plain, substantial food; at the same time the wife chafes and frets and works to prepare new and difficult combinations only to be deeply injured when he fails to enjoy them.

It is time she aroused to see that she is largely responsible for her own burdens, and that she can emancipate herself.
