Dickinson Ml J i WtlvvJH'Jliitf BEEF OFF MENUS TO SAVE SUPPLY Hotels and Restaurants Aid Food Administration's Conservation' Plan BUTCHERS HELP, TOO Rnllylng to thh assistance of the food Administration In conserving the now meager supply of beef In this country,' hotel nnd restaurant men and butchers today took drastic steps toward discour aging wide use of that meat. Menus that once contained the Item, "roast" beef nnd potatoes, twenty-five cents," are being mado to read "roast lamb, or mutton nnd potatoes, forty cents." Increases on hotel meat prices will be as high as In the smaller restaurants, making the first-class places cany prices on meats aimed to alleviate excess strain cm the nation's beef supply. Butchers have removed from display counters all signs of beef, with the ex ception of by-products, nnd will keep closj account of all beef sold to assure defeat of any beef slacker's plans that might bo tried to obtain more than the allowed portion of beef. Kcnnomy Begins Economy In the consumption of beef began today throughout the United States. , All rules regarding the conservation of beef nre being rigidly enforced by the food administration. Packers, butchers nnd proprietors of hotels and restaurants of Philadelphia said they would do all In their power to aid In beef conservation nnd they be lieved that the general public would re spond readily. As there la now only n three days supply of beef In the warehouses of the United States, for home consumption, the necessity of extreme economy Is urgent. The rules to conserve the supply of beef have been made plain by Jay Cooke, Federal food administrator for Philadelphia. In restaurants and hotels boiled beef may bo served at any two meals during; one week, beefsteak at any one meal and roast beef at any one meal. In the home' beef Is limited to one and one-quarter pounds to one nerson In one week. A family of three, forln- stance. Is limited to three and three- i . quarter pounds a week. The house wife who buys a roast of this size for Sunday may use any that icmalns on the following day. Haerlflrt Hllght This sacrlllce Is slight In view ot the fact that pork, Iamb and mutton may be used on the days that beef Is not eaten. The by-products of beef, such as ox tails, beef tongue liver and kidneys, may also be used. Any one who has a tendency to be come a beef slacker should bear In mind that there Is In storage now about 117,000,000 pounds of beef less than on last January 1 and about 227, 000,000 pounds in the entire country. Of this amount nearly one-half will be sent to tho troops abroad. A large number of Investigators started out today to see that the rules were enforced. Those who do not obey them will be prosecuted.
