FOOD ECONOMY
IN ARMY CAMP
SAVING HALF CENT A DAY TO
TAILS $2,197,OO0 IN ONE
YEAR.

Camp Funston, Kan, Feb. 1S.-The
'clean plate" is to be the order of all
mess halls at Camp Funston National
army cantonment. A bulletin calling
the attention Of the nations lighters
here to the necessity for food conserva-
ton has been issued by Brigadier Gen.
eral Winn, in command Of the canton.
ment.
The bulletin, quoting circular letter
from the bakery branch office , the
Quartermaster general follows.
In time Of peace many food econo.
mics were so small in their returns that
the end did not justify the means. But
at present, with one million and . half
men assembled in the various canton
ments and willing to give their aid
there is almost no economy too small to
be worth while Even a half cent day
saved by a million and a half men
amounts to $500 a day, and at this
rate $2737 600 could be saved in a year.
Tie saving in a company of $50 men
would, on this basis, amount to SIPS
a day, no mean amount especially If
added to the company fund.
Most of the men of the new army
have been living in homes where the
small savings that now amount to so
much, not only in money value, but in
actual conservation of food, were not
considered worth bothering with; for
this reason these men cannot be ex-
pected to realize the necessity for being
careful with food, or to view the ques
ton from an angle of real economy
with the cost Of ratons at Al IL
cents day for each man, a man who
leaves on his plate even oneeghty-
third of the food served to him causes
a waste of 1.2 cent day. Attention is
called to this not with Il view OF hay
ing the men eat less. that woulc oe
highly undesirable but to nave them
realize the great Importance of avoid
ing waste. At one of the cantCnments
the commanding officer found the habit
of the wasteful plate was so prevalent
that a regulation was enforced requir-
ing that food left on a mans plate
should be served to him as the first
course of his next meal.
The prevailing practice of cutting
cans with a cleaver may save time. but
how much of the contents Of the can
is left clnging to the inside under the
uneven edges? 1t is safe to say there
is a loss of l per cent of the contents
of each can, or a loss Of ten cans in
every thousand.
"The thin slice of bread is the eco.
nomical slice and these are to be halved,
so that a man who desires more than
one slice of bread, but is not hungry
enough to eat two whole slices, may
satisfy his. appetite without wasting
nalf OF the extra slice. Bacon and ham
should be carefully sliced in order TO
avoid uneven ends"
