GOOD GROCERIES

GOOD GROCERIES
make good friends for the grocer.
His customers speak well of him
and recommend him to their
friends. That doesn't happen
with the grocer who handles poor
stuff. But the good grocer can
not get proud and charge any old
price. He must be satisfied with
a very moderate profit.
AT LEAST
that's what we have always be-
lieved and acted upon. That's
probably the reason so many new
customers are coming to us on
the recommendation of our old
one.

DIET OF SOLDIERS

r. through experiments conducted
by Major Bean. chief cOmmissary
for the Department of the Mis-
souri,. United States Army. it has been
established that an appetizing meal may
be cooked and served TO number n
persons at an average cost Of 1 cents for
each person
1t was not the expectation of Major
Bean TO establish that meals can be pre-
pared at any particular cost, for the
United States ration, although it is bet
ter than any other Of It's kind in the
world. never requires an expenditure Of
more than cents or Is cents per day.
He did want to find out. however. just
how luxurious such a meal might be
made.
Bean said.
The leading components Of a soldiers
.ratIons for one day are meat. bread, veg
etables, fruit. coffee. and sugar, and
seasoning-in all about three and one
half pounds OF food. of which the meat.
bread. and vegetables are each about
one pound.
MY first intention was 70 serve break
fast. dinner. and supper for ten men,
and for this purpose drew on the sub
sistence stores for $3.50 worth of "a
tions as follows:
Beef. eight and three-quarter pounds;
bacon. two and one-duarter pounds;
-four. nine pounds; hard bread, two
pounds; beans. one and one-half pounds;
potatoes, eight pounds; onions. one
pound; tomatoes. one three-pound cam
prunes. eighth ounces; peaches, eight
prunes. eight ounces; peaches, eight
ounces; sugar. two pounds; vinegar
pepper two-ffths ounce; soap. six and
two-third ounces; candles. two and two
third pounds; matches. one box. IoJal
cost. $50
From these provisions / made up the
following bills Of fare.
