last night.
It's dreadfully wasteful." said DR..
King. "for good cook to waste all
her talent on one man when there are
dozens who have to eat bricky biscuits
and soggy pies every day. 1t would
be wonderful if we could Just devise
some scheme to let these good cooks
feed a lot of men"
Here is the sort of a model menu
that DR.. King would have these good
cooks prepare:
BREAKFAST.
Cracked Rye with Unsximmed Milk and Sugar
II Desired.
Two soft Boiled Eggs
Sliced Bananas

WASTRELS ARE NEAR
TRAITORS TO NATION
Men Who Buy Food Which
They Do Not Need Are Not
Helping Country in
the War.
BY A. r. GROH.

An open letter to the young CARA
DO, wearing glasses and a misplaced
eyebrow mustache, seen finishing hi:
lunch in a local restaurant:
Dear Gazabo-I am the man who
gave you that terrible look as
passed your table in going out OF the
restaurant. You may have noled the
contemptuous glance that | gave with
a condemnatory eye at the dishes
ranged around your plate. You may
have wondered what was biting
Inc,
| will tell yoi. Ny condcmnatory
glance was directed upon you because
the dishes ranged around your plate
branded you as a wastrel. And wa
strels, particularly food wastrels, are
ncar-traitors in these times.
You knew that there is shortage
III food. You knew that the word has
gone out to everybody to produce as
much food as possible and to wa -
as little as possible.
Should Be Ashamed.
You knew this. Why, then, were
YOU aot ashamed to sit there with all
that exhibit OF wasted food around
YOU? There was big beetsteak IN;
YOU had fooled around with. Less than
one.thrd OF it was consumed. There
was dish OF new potatoes in cream
that YOU had mussed up somewhat
and the sliced tomatoes that you had
barely touched and the asparagus that
YOU had nibbled at and the pie thai
YOU had only half consumed and the
:up Of coffee half wasted.
Now, ! don't want to "bawl you
out" too severely. Perhaps you were
only thoughtless. Probably you were
,nly thoughtless. You wouldn't d..
iberately waste the food supply oil
your country, would you!
You say you can pay for II, and 1t
DOESN'T matter whether you eat It or
t. A very shallow argument. II does
natter just as much as il you hadn't
cent. The fact that you can pay tor
God doesn't give you right to waste
t. Imagine the food OF the world
Exhausted, what good would all the
money in the world be? It would be
powerless to store the food. Think
i over. my friend.
May Save the Steak.
There is one redeemablc thought.
No doubt that one-third consumed
,cefsteak will be cleaned and reno
,ated and come out on clean plat
Ter to some other customer. So, 1t
won't be wastcl. And the creamed po-
'atoes can do duty again. And the
pm.. .oes and asparsg S will fit into a
view or soup. And even the damaged
sic may find its way into a bread pud-
ling. For such, | understand, is the
way of restaurants. And while |
never like to think OF It when eating
hash at hash palace. rejoice at it
n these scarce-food times.
The point | want to make is that II
-ou waste as much at home as you
10 in the restaurant, and II all you
lon't cat at home goes into the gar
bagc pail, is is serious thing. Espe-
,ially serious is it il there are a few
million thoughtless people like your
self in this country.
Turn over new leaf, my friend,
you and all other food MASTERS. Make
up your mind to waste no food, at
least not during the war. I'll look next
time | pass your table. Don't let me
see any wasted food or ! may forget
myself and land on you.
