ONE EFFECT OF THE DROUGHT
ST. Louis Restaurants eau Not At
ford to Serve Vegetables as
Customary.

ST. Louis, Aug. 9.-Owing to the
scarcity of fresh vegetables, caused
by the drought, local restauranteurs
may discontinue serving them with
regular orders of meat and fish, as
has been the custom. 1t has been
found that the high prices which pre-
vail in the produce market reduce the
profit on vegetables sold IN restau-
rants to such a marrow margin that
it will be impossible to continue
serving them at the present prices.
In nearly all the moderate-priced
restaurants, where business men eat
luncheon and dinner, it has been the
custom to serve potatoes and one
other vegetable with orders of meats,
eggs or fish. Cold meats are general
ly garnished with lettuce, water
cress or some other green vegetable.
Under the new order of things all
such garnishment will be left out,
and a special charge will be made Tor
potatoes and all other vegetables.
