Gentlemen:

The recipes in The Bride's Cook Book have been carefully examined by the Home Economics Department of the United States Food Administration for California and found to be in accordance with its rulings.

By following the Wheatless and Sugarless recipes contained therein the Housewife is performing a patriotic duty in the conserving of Food so necessary for our Allies and armies abroad.

Great appreciation is given to the publishers of the book for its construction along the line of Food Conservation.

Yours verly truly, UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION FOR CALIFORNIA (Signed) FREDERICK O'BRIEN, Director of Education.
