SAM DUTTOM OF ALBANY
HOTEL SAYS PEOPLE TAKE
KINDLY TO HOOVER PLAN

] asked Sam Dutton. proprietor OF
the Albany Hotel. ii he thought all
this effort to conserve the food pro-
ducts of the country thru talk and
voluntary agreements would amount
10 anything.
He said: Sure thing. All this talk
and publicity thru the country is
bound to have a good effect. Focus
/. the minds OF the great majority OF the
people on an idea and IL viii prevail.
The waste in this country has simply
been enormous. At least third of
the food that has been going thru the
kitchens has been wasted. II we can
save a considerable portion of this
waste we can feed our allies. And
the people everywhere are taking
kindly to Mr.. Hoover's program"
Mr.. Dutton has been active in lin
ing up the hotels OF the country in
this matter Of food conservation. The
Albany has taken the lead and the
hotel mems organization of Colorado
tas now adopted definite policy.
This policy will include the serving OF
no meats on Tuesdays and no wheat
bread on Wednesdays.
The Albany two months ago adopt
ed the policy OF charging S cents for
bread and butter. That sounds re-
dlculcusiy small and surely no person
Who eats Mt the Albany has gone
hungry for bread and butter. You
would say that that small charge has
kept no one from having all the bread
and butter he needs or wants-thnt
Sn fact all the saving has surely been
waste pure and simple. Yet the saw
ing IN this one hotel has ALREADY
amounted TO 500 pounds OF butter q
month"; 200 pounds in a year. and
10 barrels of -four month-12o bar
rels in year
A small charge r. being put on
cream. and this will save enough
cream now wasted to make 1900
pounds OF butter In n year.
This is In one hotel only and when
the idea takes throughout the coun-
Try and you multiply that saving By
several thousand hotels you will ~ee
enough food saved from waste TO feed
an army.
The Albany has adopted other
schcmes to promote economy in cat
ing and in the use of food stuffs. You
can now buy war portion OF soup AT
reduced price or one mutton chop, or
one pork chop. or one egg in any form
where formerly you paid FOR two or
three whether you could eat them or
not

Administrator. requests as an ade-
qua,e means Of insuring a sufsiciency
Of food during the war:
THAT you eat one wheatiess meal

That you eat beef. mutton or pork
only once day.
That you economize In the use OF
butter.
That you limit the use OF sugar in

THAT you cat more fruit. vege-
tables and fish."
While the whole object of all this
campaign for food conservation Is to
save food supplies for our army and
allies, yet II you adopt the suggestions
laid down by Mr. Hoover and others
interested you will save money in al.
most every case. Whether you eat
your meals at a hotel or at home you
will save not only supplies for osr
army in France but help cut down the
high cost Of living. q. Z. II.
