NEW YORK CITY
 SETS FOOD PAGE
Nearly 100 Tons of Meat and Flour in Proportion Is Saved on
 Single Days

no fOuu AuululhlIdllpu lhauca the following:
 New York Clty, which has always taken a pride in its national ropu- tation for extravaganza, particular ly in its magnificent hotels and eat ing places, is fast gaining a position in food saving that will be a cause for even greater pride i'm this time of war and need of economy in food. And tho hotels of the metropolis arc taking the lead i'm establishing this new reputation.
 Example to the Nation
 From figures received by the Food Administration showing immense savings in meat and wheat through the scrupulous observance of meat less Tuesdays and wheatless We'd nesdays and other conservation measures they have adopted it is clear that the New York hotels and restaurants are doing far more in proportion than the homes of the nation to save the foods America must ship to European nations who are fighting its battles against PrussIan autocracy. If hotels and eating places In other cities were do- ing as well as those in New York and if private homes were saving with equal care the amounts of wheat meat, fats and sugar that would be gained for shipment to- our allies would be enormous.
 What the Figures Show
 The saving of wheat i'm the larger hotels and restaurants in New York City are already yielding well toe ward a thousand barrels of flour a week and more than a thousand tons of meat.
 Actual figures received show that in the hotels and restaurants of New York City on Tuesday, November 13. the saving in meats amounted to l93.5i5 pounds, or 96.75 tons
 The saving of wheat flour on We'd nesday. November IA, was 1O1,295 pounds, or SOC tons or 517 barrels
 Through taking certain meats from their daily menus and refusing Co serve meats at banquets a fur tl,er .oonaorvation was effected by hotels and restaurants, swelling the total quantity of meats saved by them in New York during the whole week of November 12 to 232,254. pounds or 11G.12 tons.
 By the use of whole or partial substitutes for wheat flour. partic- ularly in bread and pastries. the. saving in wheat flour for the week is increased to 121,55l pounds or. CO.'S tons or ego barrels.
 Reports From Dealers
 A firm selling in several states to a great variety of trade reports the following decrease in Tuesday orders since the adoption of meat less days: Per cent. m hotels ............-....--.---..-....- In restaurants. hospitals and
 institutions ............................25 In schools ..................................25 To retail trade and homes ....12h
 If the hotels and restaurants of the whole country save in the same proportion that those of New York arc saving, John McE. Bowman, chief Of the hotels division of the United States Food Administration, believes that in this one industry alone the savings will be sufficient to furnish several shiploads of meats and wheat each week to our armies and allies.
