The White Ribbon Cook Book.
Economy and Wealth, Temperance and Health in the Household. A Collection of Original and Revised Recipes in Cookery and Housekeeping. Edited by Kathryn Armstrong. 16mo, 275 pages, cloth extra, 75 cents.
A first-class book, prepared by a practical housekeeper. While it is not claimed that it is in all respects superior to all other books, we do claim that any housekeeper, even if she have a dozen other cook books, will find this one worth to her more than the price, and that the author has fully carried out her purpose: “To prove that wine, brandy and spirituous liquors of any kind may be dispensed with, and that no culinary requirement necessitates the introduction of these poisons into any household.”
Sex and Life.
The Physiology and Hygiene of the Sexual Organization. By Eli F. Brown, M. S., M. D. Illustrated. 16mo, cloth extra, $1.00.
“A very sensible book. After describing the common sex principle in plants and animals the author enters upon the discussion of conjugal love, heredity, the use and abuse of the sexual passion, and other topics which seldom find a place in a volume of general reading.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
