5ost Of the Supplies Of This First Kitchen Have Been
Donated But the Second To Be Opened
Shortly Must Be SeJE:Snbporting

eat none myself; kin wait till supper time.
l most allus has ter. and I'm used to it, but
the kids is little an they don't understan' like
old ones do
"Give her quart Of stew and some muf-
fns!" said of the workers; "Ill pay for
it," and the "litte mother" departed with full
pail and six hot mullins Let us hope that for
once "them kids" got ''flled up and that there
was something left for the ''little mother her
self.
what godsend this is to the working peo-
pie in the neighborhood!" exclaimed "No
wonder the kitchen is a success!"
"And yet we've had lots of criticism" said
Mrs Brock, who is in charge of the kitchen.
'.The main argument seems to be that we are
encouraging laziness in these people. l can't
believe that this is true-except, perhaps, in
case out of hundred-and we are willing
to take the chance of encouraging laziness in
that one for the sake of the ninety-nine others
who are benefited by the kitchen. If you will
think over the people who have come in here
this noon, I doubt if you pick out who
looked if she came here because she was too
lazy to get her meal at home"
There not great variety of food on
the day that visited the community kitchen.
The following dishes comprised the menu:
Soup at 10 cents per quart or cents a
plate
Stew at Is cents per quart or 5 cents
plate
Samp au gratin at Is cents per quart or
cents a plate.
Rice at 10 cents per quart or 8 cents per
plate.
Stewed prunes at 10 cents per quart or 3
cents per plate.
Other stewed fruits at Is cents per quart
or 5 cents per plate.
Coffee, cocoa tea at 1 cent per cup.
Oatmeal at 10 cents per quart or 3 cents
per plate.
There is usually a greater choice of food
however. Sometimes there meat balls,
pork and beans and scalloped fish, though the
latter has not proved very popular. In fact,
the customers seem to fight shy of fish in any
form, probably owing to the fact that the
fear of ptomainc poisoning has been implanted
in their souls by the physicians and district
nurses. 1t seems a pity that this is So for
fish is so much cheaper than meat, and when
mixed with potato and baked it is very
nutritious as we'll as very palatabe dish.
l endcavored to get at the statistics of the
enterprisc-the cost of the raw materials and
the selling price when cooked, the cost of the
kitchen equipment and other details, but this
impossible in the case of this first COM
munity kitchen, for portion of the kitchen
equipment and part of the foodstuffs used
were donations. For instance, a slaughter
house in the neighborhood supplies the meat
which is used, "frec gratis, for nothing" and
the grocer the corner sells his wares at
cost.
A very important part of the kitchen equip
nent is the fireess cooker, which is used as
much as possible for the cooking of cereals,
baked beans, etc, thus saving fuel

that wartime knitting is democratic

all sides this is evident.

New-York tribune., 1918-01-27


e II day when you read "Looking
~ Backward" and smiled to
sM yourself at the seemingly
e~ H utopian ideas which it set
DA forth? If you are a woman
1s|l I'll wager that the one which
made the most lasting impress
sion on your mind was that of the cooperative
or community kitchen That the appeal of this
was universal is proven by the fact that, ever
since Mr.. Bellanly gave us the idea, there have
been innumerable attempts to follow out his
SUGGESTIONS but, so far as ] have been able to
ascertain, one Of these experiments has
proved eminently successful
1t may be that the need for this sort of in
stitution was not urgent enough, but, if such
be the case, there is surely no longer this ex-
cnse for its nor-success- With the present high
cost of living and the problem of fuel before
us, anything which makes for economy and
conservation, both of food and labor, should
have the support of the entire community.
The National League for Woman's Service,
realizing this and that the time was ripe for
another trial of the Bellamy plan, has taken
the initiative and established at 400 East
Fifheth Street its first community kitchen.
This has been in running order for little
more than month, and there can be no Ques-
tion of its success. 1t was intended as an ex-
pertinent, which would demonstrate whether
or not there was a demand for this sort of
thing and whether not it would have the
patronage of the class of people which it
intended to benefit In the short time that it
has been in operation it has certainly proved
both these points to the entire satisfaction of
all concerned so that the league feels justified
in opening other kitchens to be run on the
same plan in other parts of the city.
1t was high noon when / arrived at the
basement entrance under the stoop of the
house in East Fiftieth Street, and found my
self in the midst of crowd of little boys and
girls, all chattering like magpies and clamor-

was good food, too, well seasoned and nourish
ing. | know this for | sampled every dish.
These women filled the dining room to over
flowing, and they hardly served before
the outside customers began to pour in.
These customers were of all classes and all
ages. The first was a scrubwoman, just
turned from half-days cleaning, who came
to purchase the midday meal for her family.
She got a quart Of soup for 10 cents, a quart
of samp gratn for Is cents, and four
muf1ins-29 cents for food enough to feed
family Of four, and that without the labor of
preparing it any expense for fuel.

quarts of oatmeal to be given to class Of

would rather be at home, : for l
am badly needed there, but |
have been sent here TO fight for
my country, and I think it is my
duty to do so. 1t may not be
long until the war is over and
then we can return home happy,
and be free again, and when
we are old. we will have
something to talk about like our
grandfather's talked to US. So
l think the people need not be
troubled about us and the boys
just as we'll come in good spirit,
and help win this war and ask
the prayers of the christian peo-
pie that we will return home
safe, when the old u. S. flag is
raised and we are free.

Dear People,
While 1 am at leisure | will
write a few words. We are hav-
ing a very hard winter down
here, and are not drilling while
the weather is so bad. There
has been several of the Adair
county boys transferred to other
camps and l am expecting to be
moved from here most any time
| have lots of friends here and
would hate to part with them.
We are with the Louisville boys
and they are nice boys and we
all treat one another Just like
brothers, and are getting along
fine and having a fine time.
Most of us have bad colds now,
but | think we will get rid of
them when the weather fairs up
so we can take our exercises like
we did before the snow got so
bad. l think this is a healthy
life. | only weighed one hun
dred and twenty pounds when
left home and now | weigh las
pounds, so | haven't starved yet.
We don't have sweets like we
had at home, but they feed US
something to fatten us, and does
us more good. Of course

Tampa is situated at the mouth
of the Hillsborough river at the

Editor News
Enclosed please find one dol
lar to pay for the good old paper
another year. l have been here
now 8 years. Only missed two
copies, one last week and one a
few weeks ago. Don't know
what the the trouble was, but
hope it wont occur again, as l
don't want to lose a number.
However, l borrowed my neigh
Dor, Ham Ovens paper and got
the news. Well, Christmas has
come and gone, but no Christmas
trees and not many Sunday
schools treats. Every body seems
to be interested in the Red Cross
work, not many homes in Car
roll county, but have Red
Cross posters in their front win
dows, and not many homes but
have boys, either in the
army or getting ready to 20.
The drafted boys have been kept
busy the last two weeks going
to Carrollton, to answer their
questions. The lawyers Of Car
rollton have freely given their
time in assisting them to answer
their question. The ladies of
the country, as we'll as those in
the towns, have their auxillaries
and they meet once a week and
spend the day knitting, sewing
and making garments for the
soldier boys comfort. My wife
has charge of the buttoning de-
partment. think in the towns
they keep the work shops open
all the week, so as to give all the
members a chance to put in a
day during the week.
| read my old Friend, R. L.
Campbell's distressing letter in
the News, last week, in regard
to the failure of gas and the
scarcity and the high price of
coal Csc per bu. We think coal
is pretty high here. The last
was 22c. 1t has been for some
time that a carload wouldn't last
more than two hours. | have
seen as high as six wagons load
ing from car at the same time
and as many more standing back
waiting for their turn. We
have had some severe cold wealth
err this winter, but not much
snow. In fact, we have not haC
much snow or rain either in the
last two years. R. l.. said thu
Adair county people, who hat
plenty of fire wood couldn't i'm
agine what city people had tx
suffer. l say yes, md lots o
good water, too. While Adai
is not as we'll blest with rail
road facilities, good roads an

FLU is CAUSE OF
DELAY IN MEETING
OF G. P. A. HERE

The state convention of the New
Mexico Game Protective association,
which was called for October II. has
been postponed until the latter part
OF the month or early, in November,
according to an announcement yes
tcrday by an official Of the organiZa-
ton. The convention was postponed
on account Tie Influenza epidemic
which is prevalent throughout the
stale.
c. A. Whited, acting president OF
the G. p. A., was here yesterday and
declared himself in favor of the post
ponement, inasmuch as the assoca-
ton officials do not wish to compli-
cate the influenza situation by urgin;
any to travel. All delegates to the
convention have been notified of the
change.
on official said yesterday the con-
vention probably will be held before
November 3. in order that the G. p.
A. may insure the appointment of a
competent game warden by the next
governor.
THE position of the G.. p. A." said
one member "is that a large proper
ton Of our soldiers in Europe are
sportsmen and upon their return
would be very much disappointed if
nothing had been done to protect the
game supply of the state. State
Warden Rouault. a nominee of the
G.. p. A.. was a very efficient game
warden and we want to get a man
wh" is sEillful and CAPABLE"

Denver Colo Oct. 7.-Statowide
action against the spread of Spanish
Influenza in Colorado was taken late
this afternoon when Gov. julius c.
Gunter signed proclamation calling
on all mayors and municipal health
authorities to use unhesitatingly their
authority in prohibiting all forms of
public gatherings.
The governors proclamation urges
the immediate closing of all churches,
schools and other public places. The
only exception made is in the case of
colleges where military camps are
maintained and when these camps
are guarded by proper quarantine
regulations.
The issuance of the proclamation
followed a conference attended by the
heads of the six largest universities
and colleges of the stat ?. Under the
plan devised for meeting the cpl
demic in these institutions the stu
dent army training corps activities
are to continue, members of the
corps being under quarantine regula-
tions and with all indoor class work
eliminated. In colleges where there
has not yet been an appearance of
the malady some class work for other
students may continue, but it will be
out doors and the students themselves
will be under strict regulations aimed
to guard against contraction of the
disease.
