It was a novelty in the majority Of homes only in the sense 1hat il was by government order, fol soaring prices long since had made meatless days in the majority of homes an economic necessity.

 Nor did hotel and restaurant menus appear less rerlete or inviting. One restaurant on the breakfast bill had ACSS in six different styles and clever varieties of omelets
