SUPPLY KITCHEN It IS!
Will Be Opened to the Public
Next Week.
3 KINDS OF BREAKFASTS 8 DAYS.
Kitchen Utensils, Furniture, Linen,
Etc., Wanted Yet--A Good Many
Things Already Contributed and the
Cash Capital Is $1,000.

The Providence Supply Kitchen will be
open TO the public on Wednesday, April
4. That day and the 5th and 9Th
will be sort OF Inauguration
days, and on Saturday, the 9TH,
the Kitchen will begin its proper business
of selling the mostest and bestest food for
the leastest money. The Kitchen is To-
Gated on the ground floor of the building
corner of Fountain and Clemence streets.
The three Inauguration days will doubt
less be gala social events, with view to
giving the scheme a good introduction to
prospective and actual supporters, ana
giving the Kitchen proper "send on"
No less than three kinds OF breakfast will
be served to all comers at a reasonable
profit to the Kitchen. The three different
breakfasts are to be gotten up under
the personal supervision OF three
different members OF the association,
namely Miss Bush, who will have charge
of the New England breakfast, Miss
Dexter who will get up Southern
breakfast, and Mrs. Heller who
will prepare German breakfast.
Details of these different bills of fare are
not yet made public but unless the re-
spective fcasts are considerable idealized
1t is believed that the piece de resistance
of the New England breakfast
will be hamaneggs, that corn pone will
form the staple of the Southern feast, and
that noodles and pruncs will tempt the
palate at the German feast. The New
England and German breakfasts will cost
35c., the Southern breakfast 50c.
The Supply Kitchen IL now fairly q
fact. The scheme has been hanging fire,
owing to circumstances beyond anybody's
control, but last week the association
voted TO start things up again. Mr..
David $. Fraser was elected president,
MrQ Gar n Hart md Miss
Granger secretary. The Association finds
itself with $1,000 cash capital, of which il
proposes to sink not over $500 in not less
than one months time, by which time
it is expected 10 have the Kitchen paying
its way and the balance of the $1,000 is not
emergency. Ii may be said that
the inaugural breakfasts before
mentioned are. gotten up with funds
raised outside the treasury of the associa-
ton. When in running order the
Kitchen will be able to sup
ply moderate well assorted
bill OF fare OF scientifically cooked
from cup-of- coffee-roll- and butter
three cents up. 1t is expected
also to build up quite business in sup
plying churches and bean supper festi-
walls with their cooking, as an aid
to the resources of the Kitchen.
but the Work OF the hltCnen proper
contemplatcs no profits either from
employees of shops and factories with
hot lunches at noon and their families
with dinners and suppers. A feature OF
OF the Kitchens functions Is the relief
work TO be done as an adjunct to chari-
table organizations and church work.
The Kitchen has already been helped,
outside OF cash subscriptions, but ii can
stand more help. 1t wants stove furni-
turc, kitchen furniture, chairs, tables,
counters, linens, ETC., and doubtless il will
get them. Its capital is not big enough TO
invest SO much in plant as the needs re-
quirc. Earl q Prew's express will go
for and deliver to the kitchen all
goods contributed, and already the kitchen
is in receipt of four dozen mugs from the
Beneficcnt Church, six dozen plates from
Anthony d Cowell Company,
three dozen bowls from Fry
Brothers, three dozen spoons and
three dozen forks from Tilden-T -Thurber
Company, kitchen ware from George III.
Humphrey, and n splendid lot OF shelving
from another member OF the Association.
So the things arc coming in finely and
when they get a small steam boiler which
they advertise for and the other things
they will be in prime shape for beginning
next Wednesday.
