These figures—320,817—represent the actual number of
cars manufactured by us since August 1st, 191(5, and
delivered by our agents to retail buyers.
This unusual fall and winter demand for Kord

cars only to those agents who have orders for immediate
delivery to retail customers, .rather than to permit any
agent to stock cars in anticipation of later spring sales.
We are issuing this notice to intending buyers that they
may protect themselves against delay or disappointment
in securing Ford cars. If, there, you arr planning to
purchase a Ford car, we advise you to place your order
and take deliver now.
Immediate orders will have prompt attention.

the sake of those interested we

fix the idea developed by the lect

sion of the work, studies the ani
mal as a whole. They divide it into
-tough and tender cuts, then they
proceed to the laboratory and learn
how to make attractive and nu
tritious dishes from each of them.
And right here there is a marked
difference between college work
and that offered in vocational
schools. The college course, in

dining room. In the second sem
'ester of the third year more elab
orate cookery, in family quantities
is studied. There is also here a (
great deal of demonstration work.
The girls must be able to appear 2)
before a large or small group and
illustrate and explain the combina
tion of foods. This gives the stu
dent practise in talking and doing
at the same time. Each student is ! f
also required to plan out a long
demonstration to last an hour or
more, to be given before the class
The girls have this week submit-,
'ted their subjects for these talks
some of which are, The Making of
Croquettes, Bread and Bread Mak- I
nig, Meat Substitutes, and the like.
Every girl in the Junior class is |
also required to prepare a test '
luncheon, which must be planned
and all the work done by herself
Her working partner is allowed to
serve in the dining room only. Tht '
menus served on these occasion;
are limited in cost to $1.00.
In the fourth year the students
are given a great deal of work in
the study of nutrition. They stud,\
the values of food in a scientific
way. linking their work with thei; |
knowledge of chemistry. They
study what food individuals need j
—the things to be avoided in case ;
of hypo- or hypo-acidity of the J
stomach, diabetes, and the like; |
what a stout man needs, what is
good for the mental worker or the
laboring man, etc. Throughout the
course, in connection with their |
study of technical subjects, the j
students carry English, History, |
Chemistry, Physics, and other cul
itural subjects. (A description of
other phases of the work of the S
