The Belleclaire is doing its
part in the conservation Of food
and its guests are cooperating
in splendid fashion. It is aston
ishing how little food is really
necessary for a comfortable eX-
istence.
We are cutting down the
number Of dishes served
which eliminates waste. We are
serving substantial dishes
the "home" things that nobody
ever tires of.
While we are conserving in
every way possible, we still
cling to the principle of serving
always the very best food. We
are not cheapening quality. We
are not employing cheap cooks.
The best is none too good for
our guests-we are cutting
down on variety only.
If every household will save
meat and wheat in the same
proportion we are doing every
week. this country will be able
to supply our soldiers and our
allies with all they need.
Come around and see what
n fine satisfying meal you can
get without frillS.
