PREFACE

The publishers wish to call the attention of the little candy maker to the Appendix in this book.

The United States Food Administration, while it does not object to a moderate use of sugar in candy making, strongly advises that it be used sparingly in order that our soldiers and allies may be provided with this energy-giving food that they require.

Accordingly, a number of recipes requiring a small quantity of sugar, or eliminating it entirely, have been prepared under the direction of this able Administration, and the publishers, glad to co-operate in every way, take pleasure in incorporating these recipes and suggestions as an Appendix.

It should be noted, however, that the author has furnished, throughout the book, a number of recipes that conform in every way to the suggestions made by the Government.
