Editors Chicago Tribune.
Your article On Cooking Is well timed
and meetsmy case exaetly. It Is almost In
possible to get either meat or bread properly
cooked OF baked In this city. There Is no ex-
ception to this In the hotels or restaurants.
Order beafsteak and tsn CHANCES to one you
get It burnt to = clnder, or almost raw, OF
what is worse still, hsva 1t boiled In frying

The truth is, In the midst Of plenty, as q
community, ne arc Ntetally starved, By the
manner in which our vlctuals are cooked.
