STEAKS AND ROAST BEEF TO BE
CUT FROM BILLS OF FARE
SEVERAL. DAYS EACH WEEK.
LANDLORDS TAKE ACTION
TO CONSERVE MEATS
Corporation 81 .;ots,s and Ssstta&
rants Asked by Representatives Of
National Association - Beef Con-
sumption to Be Curtailed During
June, July and August.

Burlington, Juno s.-The first class
hotels of the state having eliminated
the use of wheat products altogether,
will now begin to simplify their menus
and it Is probable that they will cut
out of their bills of fare steaks and
roast beef except two or three ties
q week.
They are being urged to do this by
Mr.. Hoover thru John MACEDONIAN,
national chairman for hotels and
restaurants Of the federal food admin
!straAon He has wired to w. f.
Miller the hotel chairman for the
United States food administration for
Iowa asking him to put this program
before the hotel and restaurant men Of
Iowa.
Mr.. MacBowman's telegram to Mr..
Miller follows:
an view Of General Crowders order
with regard to registered men and it's
undoubted result In depletion of hotel
stats and IN view OF the necessity OF
steady progress to a much simpllfeo
hotel living and with the growth for
national demands for food conserva-
ton. labor and thrift generally 1t
seems to me that the time has arrived
when hotels and restaurants Of the
country can quite well simplify their
entire cuisine by reduction in numbers
Of items on the menus.
"The food administration believes
by the cooperation Of the hotels and
restaurants OF tho United States in
such measure as has been SO fully
and Loyalty given in the past that the
suggestions herein contained Will be
followed. If the number OF alternative
dtshes now offered to customers on
each menu can be greatly reduced, II
will decrease the labor required in pre-
paration, the stocks required in re-
serve and the waste arising therefrom-
A variation In menus from day to day
will offer in the end the same variety
and secure the above benefits. a
ca.us! pernsal Of representative menus
Of leading hotels would seem to indi-
cato that from fifty to one hundred
items could be eliminated.
During the months of June, July
and August we are extremely anxious
to secure q reduction OF fresh beef
consumption in order to maintain the
allied supply and we must secure this
without substitution Of pork or poultry
Of which, while we have enough TOR
ordinary course of consumption, we
are not in a position to provide their
actual use as substitutions for beef.
We have supplies of by-products, such
as oxtails, tongues. livers, kidneys,
sweet breads, tripe and Drains because
only the meat cuts arc being exported.
The use of these could be employed
but more especially the use OF sea
food Vegetables ana fruit.
TT would seem to me possible to
eliminate on tho menus steaks ana
roast beef excepting two or three
times weekly"
