The chief article of food Of n OF
the most stalwart races of men the
world has ever produced, (the Amer
lean IndianD was Indian Corn"
The women ground it laboriously
in followed stones and cooked it in a
rude manner but it, together with meat
taken in the chase, sustained a race OF
muscular giants.
Two or three hundred years of culti-
walton has resulted in a very superior
grade Of this indian Corn, and the food
expert of the present day has produced
therefrom, by skillful cooking, a food
delicious beyond the comprehension of
the past.
In the growth Of Corn there is a
period when the kernels are pumped
out with vegetable milk, most nutri-
tious.
As it slowly ripens, this hardens, and
finally becomes almost flinty. The
problem of the food expert was to cook
this magnificent food skillfully and
present its merits in an %appetizing
way. Some have been kind enough to
say thai Eilijah's Mamma is the choicest
favored cereal food ever prepared

moisture from the air. else 1t nayor

should be securely closed or the re-
naming contents poured into a tin or
