ARMY LESSONS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS
Army Rations and Army Menus.

Army cooks and bakers have the
really big high cost OF living prob
lem 20 solve The miracles they &C
complish offer lessons In menu max
ing by which housekeeperH may pro
ft
A ration r. the allowance for sub
sistence for one person for one day
The average ration for soldier
amounts 20 four pounds day and
the government has estimated that
even at present prices, this can be
provided for fraction more than
80 cents day
In planning their menus, most
mess sergeants follow an outline
something like this:
Breakfast--Fruit or breakfast
food meat. in some form, with a
vegetable. hot bread with butter, or
hot cakes with syrup. coffee.
Dinner-SOup, meat. roasted. boil
ed or fried. or hsh. two vegetables.
vegetable or fruit salad. dessert.
bread and butter: coffee or tea.
Supper-Meat or fsh, one vegeta-
bile: hot rolls. stewed fruit or Jam,
bread ard coffee. tea or chocolate
Housekeepers should note the "or"
in this schedule The menus are
actually much shorter than they ap-
pear TO be.
In some camps, however. they are
quite elaborate. Al Camp DIX, near
Wrightsville. ~ j., the following
menus were served recently;
Breakfast-Boiled rice and milk.
hot mufins, fried bacon. fried pota-
toes, bread and butter. coffee
Dinner PURGE OF bean soup, roast
beef stewed kidney beans. sweet POI
tatOes tapioca pudding broad and
butter. coffee or milk.
Supper-Meat and potato pie, hot
biscuits. apple sauce, bread butter.

Breakfast Scrambled eggs.
French toast, bacon. cottage fried
potatoes. bread and butter, coffee
Dnner-Vogetabl soup. soft roast
or beef. mashed potatoes. creamed
ye getable. bread and butter. stewed
peaches, chocolate cake, coffee or
milk
Thesc menus arc not quoted with
any expectation that housewives can
provide the same array OF good
things for the same money They
are printed as fine examples OF VOL
