"Save the wheat" is the call that has been sent out from Washington to the housekeepers of America.

In response to this urgent plea, this new War Edition of the Corn Cook Book containing 200 recipes has been compiled, showing the various ways that this valuable cereal can be utilized so as to save wheat for ourselves and our Allies.

Corn is the American Indian's greatest gift to civilization. The early colonists used it to a large extent. It is still one of the most important and delectable foods of the South and the New England States. No one who has tasted the real Southern Cora Pone will ever forget its deliciousness.

This book includes many substantial, inexpensive dishes made from corn, some of which are unusually attractive in appearance as well as taste. Each recipe has been carefully tested and will produce satisfactory results if the instructions given in the chapter on Measuring and Combining Ingredients are faithfully followed.

These simple, palatable, wholesome dishes will lend great variety to the daily menus and enable the housewife to utilize at the lowest possible cost the cereal which ranks in food value with wheat.

To the housewives of America the author dedicates this little volume "The Corn Cook Book" with the earnest hope that it will do its part towards winning the war by helping to conserve the Nation's Food.

Faithfully yours,

Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hiller.
