New Regulation for Eating Houses Is
Effective Oct. 81, 1o1s--0ther Fea-
lures Of the New Regu-
latiou.

A new conservation program for public
eating places effective Oct 81, 1918, is |
announced by Frank II. Brooks, federal
food administrator for Vermont. Pamph-
lets descriptive of this program will be
sent to proprietors Of hotels and restau-
rants by the United States food admin
istration but it is important that the
general public should be familiar with
this new program, which must be carried
out il America il to provide sufficient
food for the rapidly increasing American
army in Europe and for the allied armies
and the allied civil population during
this year.
In emphasizing the necessity for con-
scientious conservation during this year,
Mr.. Brooks said, During the year ending
July |, 1919, the United States must ship
for the American army, the allied civil
ians and armies, and certain neutrals
who are dependent upon America IL $780,
600 tons OF foodstuffs, which is 5,730,000
tons more than was shipped during the
year ending July l. 1918. Directed by
President Wilson to assure the allies
that in this common cause we eat Mt
common table, bfr. Hoover promised the
allied food conference that whatever
their allied war-food program called for
from America we should fulfill. he told
them that We by the economy of our
people, have the reserves in food to sup
| ply all necessities
ITO redeem this promise of the Amer
lean people made through Mr.. Hoover the
Iproprietors Of public eating places must
undertake in many particulars stricter
| program than last year. 1t is estimated
that nearly 100000 people eat at public
eating places. And the food consumption
in these places is larger than in the aver
age homes. Hence in the new home card
to be issued for American households on
! Oct. rs and in the new program for pub
| lie eating places now being sent out, to-
gether comprising victory conservation
program, the food administration empha-
sizes the absolute necessity of further
reduction of the consumption and waste
of food products. What is needed is di-
rect reduction of consumption of all food
SUITS, with a special emphasis on the
staples"
The United States food administration
declares itself confident that just as dur
| ing the last year hotel and restaurant
men and all other proprietors Of public
eating places will carry out the policies
of the food administration and will en-
| Joy the hearty cooperation Of their pat
rons. Some of the most important of the
policies for this year as as follows No
bread or butter shall be served unless
the guests request it. Hotels and res
taurants are asked TO economic in the
use of coffee by every possible care in

to this country which may be used to
transport our troops and supplies abroad.
The food administration regards the
fourth meal as unnecessary and unpa.
triotic.
/ Everything possible should be done to
simplify hotel and restaurant service.
The saving of labor may be effected by
the establishment Of plate service that
is, meat and vegetables comprising the
main part of the meal should be placed
on one plate instead of serving several
in several side dishes. A simple bill of
fare should be arranged for break
fast, one for luncheon, one for dinner or
supper, all with a limited number of
dishes and changed from day to day to
give variety. The use of made over
, dishes and of animal by-products such
f as ox-tails, tongues, calves heads, livers
kidneys, tripe, sweetbreads, brains and
feet will save greatly in all staples and
permit the effective use of many avail.
