broad hottomed kettle cover with the
clean outside husks ana pour on cold
water enough to just reach the top OF
the corn. Put on the kettle cover and
set over quick fire. Watch closely, and
when the water reaches the boiling point
cook exactly five minutes longer. lAtt

and serve at once in serviette. Even i,
YOU do not wish to use the husks In the

Where the corn Is husked ana milk
is plenty, a delightful way is to COOK
the corn In cold milk. Allow It to cook
just five minutes after reaching the boil
