was to go to every provision store in Copenhagen and get them to take 

 some corn meal and sell it and recommend it. 



We got them to put it in the market and got the folks interested in it. 

 Got the hospitals interested in it too. Went to the army and navy head- 

 quarters and to the different people there who'kept these provision stores, 

 In the public institute, and then he gave a corn dinner and invited fifty 

 people. They called on me to preside. We made speeches and we had 

 several representatives of the press, so the whole thing was put in the 

 papers, and in that way we got it before the country. Now it was not 

 what we expected, not what we had hoped. There was not enough pro- 

 vided for, but I shall say for fear I forget it, that we got it introduced to 

 some considerable extent, corn meal was eaten, and you can get half a

 how to cook it, and then we would go and have it served to us at dinner. 

 By the time we got ready to have our corn dinner the man Mr. Murphy had 

 been showing how to cook earn meal could do it very nicely and cooked it. 

 If we had had some one right there in a corn kitchen or restaurant, and 

 every day sold cheap dishes of different kinds made from corn meal and 

 sold them cheap and got people in that way, in the habit of eating, and at 

 the same time giving away leaflets on how to cook it, it would have been 

 introduced mere extensively than it was. 



We want a number of places at the Paris Exposition, but Mr. Peck 

 can only let us have a small space for a corn kitchen and restaurant. We 

 wish to bring this subject of Indian corn before the public. We have the 

 opportunity, the people are coming there from all parts of the world. We 

 have the opportunity and now we want to establish this restaurant in 

 Paris by all the means possible, but in order to do so it will be necessary
