In giving to the public this second edition I am glad to be able to,
offer a revised and improved cook book. It has been my aim to improve
it in every way and to make it as clear, practical and helpful as
possible.

The previous material has been carefully revised and changes made in
the wording where it was believed that the language could be improved
upon to make the author’s meaning more clear and comprehensible. A
radical change has also been made in the construction and arrangement
of the pages, which I trust will be an advantage.

In recognition of the friendly attitude of the great public toward my
first book, I wish to say that the entire edition of about 5,000
copies is scattered all over the country and many assurances of
appreciation have come to me. I therefore feel encouraged to send this
new edition out upon the world, knowing that it is the same excellent
cook book, only improved and augmented, and I hope that the book will
contribute materially to the happiness and attractiveness of many
homes and help to solve many problems, especially for brides and
beginners.

                                   Respectfully,
                                          MRS. LINA MEIER,
