ARE you SAVING FOOD?

on the Nickel Plate railroad. Since
hen / have seen it on many bills OF
fare. l thought / could see where the
Nickel Plate was trying to follow Mr..
Roover's suggestions. Since then /
have observed closely to see whether
attention was being paid by hotels and
restaurants and eating places gener-
ally to these suggestions. | have come
to the conclusion that they are accom-
plishing very little.
A large proportion of the housewives
have signed the little card requesting
cooperation in the kitchen and dining
room with the work Of the food di-
rector. / have observed to see what
changes have been brought about. /
find that there has been little change
scarcely more h a can be explained
by thei% increase in prices.
The conclusion at which I have ar
rived is that so far as food conservation
Is concerned, Mr.. Hoover will not get
very far until he adopts more of the
methods Of DIR. Batocki:
Food administrations rules suggested
for dining cars-Your cordial and
thoughtful cooperation is earnestly re-
quested in helping to win the war by
conserving our food each one has q
part to play. If we cannot fight we
can avoid waste and eat wisely and in
accord with our country's needs. All
food served on the table and not eaten
is wasted.
1. All wheat bread and butter por-
tons are to consist of not more than
two medium sized slices of bread OF

OLD VETERAN IN NEW ARMY
Seventy Two-Year-oId Man Is Now
Somewhere In France Serving
Uncle Sam as Cook.

Age seems to be no barrier for serv-
ice in the army.
For instance, say the Indianapolis
News, there is Charley June. All the
old-timers remember June, who years
ago supplied the fish and game for
hundreds of Indianapolis tables. His
place Of business was opposite the
traction terminal station, and 1T was
his boast that he could furnish my
thing that could fly or swim.
June is a veteran Of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de-
clared his old fighting spirit was re-
vived. Because Of his age, seventy
two years, he did not feel qualified to
shoulder a musket and go forth to
slay, yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, so he went out to Fort
Harrison as a cook.
He served during the first officers
training camp and made good with a
vengeance. Then an entirely unexpect-
| ed honor was thrust upon him. He
! was invited to go to france and cook
for the boys in the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath
but it did not take him long to make
up his mind.
During the Civil War I carried u
! gun and fought with the boys said
MI. June, "and why shouldn't I cook
for them nowf I realize 1t is no Sun.
day picnic ever there, but l do not
fear the outcome. I am healthy and
strong for a man Of my years, and
! guess I can stand it. AT any rate. !
am willing to take a chance for Old
Glory"
Mr.. June is now Somewhere in
France"
