The men were almost as interested as the women. They were also given recipes written in German showing how sugar and flour could be saved and substitutes used. These people do not have a chance to attend any of the meetings in town, and when a demonstration could be given near their homes, they showed by their attendance and interest that it was greatly-appreciated.
