TO FEED $4,000.
All Christmas Day Dinner is to Be
Served at 456 West Madison.

Chicago, Dec. 14-The Volunteers of
America propose to feed on Christmas
day $4,000 of Chicago's poor. The dinner
will be spread at the local headquarters
of the Volunteers, the Waverley theater,
456 West Madison street. It will be in
progress from 10 a. m. till o'clock in
the afternoon. The success of last
years dinner on Christmas day when
5000 people were entertained, has in
spired the Volunteers to greater pre-
parations than ever. Some idea of the
amount of food necessary to feed $1,000
people can be gained from the following
list arranged by Brigadier General E.
Fielding:
Five thousand loaves of bread, 1000
pies, 1000 turkeys, 1000 pounds of meat,
500 pounds of butter, 400 pounds of CO.
fee, 300 pounds of tea, 500 gallons of
milk, 400 barrels of potatoes, 2 barrels
of pickles.
Besides the eatables noted above veg
etables of all kinds, crackers and cakes,
will be provided. The Volunteers will
receive most of the food through do
nations. Brigadier General Fielding is
anxious that gifts from the charitably
inclined be sent to the WaverIey the
alter. In the evening of the same day
the Volunteers will have a large Christ
mas tree for poor children. The little
people will be given candy, popcorn,
dolls and toys. The poor who are IN
able to go to the theater for dinner viii
be sought out and given a box of Christ
mas goodies.
