Simplified Eating.

The 81 new rules established by
the United States food administra-
tor for the conduct Of public elting
places will look difficult TO some OF
our eight course dinner people. Ep'
icures and gourmands may feel
themselves stinted There are
plenty of people to whom the sat
isfaction of the stomach is the first
interest in life.
Such people detect sha1ings of
culinary merit not perceptible to
the vulgar, and reject with ScOrn all
that fails to satisfy their high
standards of taste. They must
sometimes 90 hundry under the
new rules.
For ordinary people these rules
contain nothing that will cause seri-
Gus discomfort. Hotels and eating
houses have always been waSteful,
They serve quantities Of food that
were never ordered AMI never
wanted. Many travellers like 10
surround themselves with an array
of dishes, So that they can pick and
select what looks attractiVeto them
They don't expect to eat the whole
dinner, merely want to get an as,
sortment from which to choose, the
rest to 90 to the GARBAGE barrel
That is not merely a miserable
policy for war times, but it makes
travelling more costly for everyone
The tendency for hotels to arrange
their prices on the European plan
basis has tended to restrict this a
good deal, Still many hotels still
run on the lavish old American
plan. This vas we'll enough for the
times when food was so abnndlnt
and cheap, Out those times will
never return
Enormous numbers of people de,
pend upon busy iuuch rooms and
restaurants for one or more meals
a day. The cost of food at these
resorts has greatly increased during
recent years. II they can learn not
to waste their materials. and main.
tain economy as a regular policy
even after the war ends the cost OF
food at these PAGES can be cOnSid-
erably Kept down
