Excerpt from American Indian Corn (Maize) A Cheap, Wholesome, and Nutritious Food, Ways to Prepare and Cook It Millions of people in America axe earnestly seeking a way to "do their bit" toward winning the war. Here is a simple solution of the problem: Eat Corn Bread! This is an initial step toward efficient food conservation. In 1890, Congress sent a commission abroad to introduce and promote the use of Indian com in foreign domestic economy. An "Indian Com Kitchen" was established in Paris by the commission, which did much to popularize the grain; but adoption was slow and its use did not become general. In 1917, Congress sent out another com message, this time to the American people. This message urged the use of com meal - converted into some of the palatable old-fashioned dishes - on our tables at least once a day, to release most of our wheat crop for the sustenance of the Allied armies.
