Four Steakless Days

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Food
Administration to-day urged all hotels
to adopt table d'hote meals. eliminat
ing as far as possible from their menus
steaks and other beef products re-
quired for overseas shipment.
John NICE. Bowman. of New York,
who is charge Of the Food Admins
traton's work with public eating
places. has sent the following tele-
gram to his presentatives in every
state:
"In view Of the necessity of steady
progress to much sMhp1ified hotel liv-
ing and with the growth of national
demands for food conservation, labor
and thrift generally. it seems to me
that the time has arrived when the
hotels and restaurants of the country
can quite we'll simplify their entire
cuisine by reduction in number Of
items on the menus.
pretend that this can be done authori-
tatively under the law, but believes
the cooperation of the hotels and
restaurants of the United States in
such measures has been so fully and
loyalty given in the past that the sug-
gestions herein contained will be fol-
lowed If the alternative dishes now
offered to customers on each menu can
be greatly reduced it will decrease the
labor required in preparation, the
stocks required in reserve 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 casual perusal
of representative menus of leading
hotels would seem to me to indicate
that from fifty to one hundred items
could be eliminated.
During the months of June, July
and August we are extremely anxious
to secure a reduction of fresh beef
consumption in order to maintain the
Allies supply, and we must secure
this without substitution of pork
or poultry, which, while we have
enough for ordinary course of con-
sumption, we are not in position to
provide for additional use as sub
stitutes for beef. We have sup
plies of by-products, such as OK tails,
tongues, livers, kidneys, sweetbreads,
tripe and brains, because only the meat
cuts are being exported. The use of
these could be employed, but more
especially the use Of sea food, vege-
tables and fruit
'It would seem to me possible to
eliminate on the menus steaks and
roast beef, excepting two or three
times weekly.
"Please take this up in your state
at once, and particularly with hotel and
restaurant associations, and formulate
some constructive programme upon the
above lines"

Joseph remained there and was NOR

choppers.
The woodchoppers were working
near the cemetery at the time Of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be palbearers. In the midst Of the
service the chaplain read the name Of
Joseph Ash. The brother, who stood
with barred head in the small group Of
soldier mourners, rceled forward, his
eyes filled with tears and he cx-
claimed, My brother! 0 my brother."
The chaplain, not understanding,
stepped up and placed his arm around

looked at the coffin and shook his head.

that the chaplain and the others
around him understood and led him

Brief Delay Gives
Slight Advantage

The curb is, as may be imagined.
very f1uctuating one. Four months
is merely the average delay in the
return to the front of men from the
hospital. Bad cases take much
longer, and even in the four months
period there is not constant rate
OF return throughout. You have
flrst the very light cases. from five
to ten per cent of the tota1--coming
back to the lines nearly at once.
Then there is a period of from six
to nine weeks during which the
drain of return falls heavily. This
is the period during which the men
not seriously wounded are being
cured. At the end of this critical
period, which is Of varying length
according to the nature of the fight
ing, the curb takes a rapid rise
again, representing the influx of
great numbers of men whose cure is
now complete. Then comes a period
of a fairly evenly rising period,
during which the graver cases grad
ually and at a pretty regular rate
return to the army at dates which
have been postponed, according to
the gravity or the complication of
their wounds.
1t will be seen from this that a
very brief delay gives you but a
small advantage in the war of re-
cruitment from hospital returns.
and that very prolonged one, such
as four months, would hardly be
worth ones while unless there were
no adverse factors-that is. unless
the delay might be indefinitely pro
longed without this advantage, a
condition which in practice never
occurs. 1t will also be seen that
between these two extremes-after
some such delay, as from six weeks
at least to say nine weeks at most
you get a comparatively sudden and
