Publishers' Foreword


This book was planned before Food Conservation was by the mass
considered seriously. The writers of the various articles are
thoroughly qualified to speak where they have spoken. They are
practical, conscientious, Christian, and have at heart the best in
the needs of humanity. Every one strikes a major chord in the song
of healthful, economical living. The recipes are from the author
of "Food and Cookery," who has had a score of years' experience in
every station and phase of the preparation of food, under French,
English, German, and Spanish chefs. He has been second cook in the
Calumet Club of Chicago, the California Club, Los Angeles, and in many
leading hotels in various cities. For ten years, he has given his best
thought and study to the preparation of the best in food, scientific,
palatable, wholesome, and economic, most of this time in the Sanitarium
and College of Medical Missionaries, Loma Linda, California. Special
attention is called to the valuable tables of Food Elements, and to the
newly demonstrated values of vitamines and the substances which destroy
them.

We are grateful for the kind word spoken by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Stanford University, and first assistant to Mr. Hoover
in the Federal Food Administration Department; also for the help and
suggestions of Dr. Newton Evans, president of the College of Medical
Evangelists, of Loma Linda, California.

The little book will, we believe, not only meet present needs, but be a
safe counselor in the years to come.
