SOME CORN DODGES,

At the opening of the worlds fair the
EAGLE made the suggestion that a corn
kitchen be opened for the purpose OF
demonstrating what may be done with
corn meal as table food. For the past
two or three weeks Colonel Charles j..
succeeded in arousIng some interest in
corn as a food product. Col Murphy has
spent several years in Europe in this
work and, as he is able to produce over
forty different table dishes from corn
meal and the product of corn, he has
doubtless advanced the interest in corn
a great deal.
The increase in the expectation of
corn during the past three or four years
indicates that the consumption of that
very fast.
There could be no better opportunity
than the worlds fair for illustrating the
value of corn and its products. And the
states that produce surplus of corn are
neglecting grand opportunity by not
taking advantage OF the most auspiclous
occasion to press this interest upon the
attention Of the on-looking world.
Not only the attention and interest of
foreigners may be enlisted in our great
staple, but great deal of valuable mis-
sionary work in the same connection
among citizens of some portions of our
own country. 1t may sound incredible
to many of our western and southern
readers, but it is fact, none the less,
that thousands of people in the United
States have no idea of the value of corn
as table article, and many thousands
OF others who are perfectly familiar
with it as the great staff of life know
little of its capabilities for being trans
formed into numerous most delightful
deIicacieS. 1t is an interesting and profit
able study for all.
