BEEFLESS DAYS j
FOR N. Y. HOTELS
"War Broad" to Bo Served;
Less Butter and Fats Used.
: PORK WILL BE CURTAILED
Most Breakfast Rolls Will Be Baked of
Other Than Wheat Flour—Toast as a
Garnish to Meat Dishes Is to Be
Eliminated—No Cheese For Frea
Lunch Counters.
Suggestions for one beefless day each
week, with the serving of "war bread"
at every meal and a radical curtail
ment In the use of pork products and
all butter and fats, have been made to
Herbert C. Hoover, prospective na
tional food administrator, by the New
York City Hotel association. If the
plan is approved by Mr. Hoover—and
it was devised along Unes suggested
by him in his food conservation an
nouncements—patrons of New York
hotels will probably have their first
beefless day in the near future. At
the same time menu cards will con
tain announcement of the inauguration
of one day each week on which no
beef will lie served and of curtailment
in the service of other products In
which conservation of existing supplies
Is necessary.
The scheme was presented to Mr.
Hoover by Thomas D. Green, presi
dent of the Hotel association, and
John McE. Bowman, In co-operation
with Tatrick V. Kvr.e, James Churchill
and H. E. Taylor, representing the
Society of Restaurateurs. The Hotel
association represents 105 hotels,
which serve about 200.000 meals each
day. and the Society oi Restaurateurs
Includes in its membership all of the
big restaurants of Rroadway and
many of the smaller ones In other
parts of the city.
Tentative regulations governing the
plan have been arranged and probably
wii! be made permanent They are:
First.—Individual service of bread
and butter of uniform weight, the rolls
to weigh from one to one and one
fourth ounces.
Second.— At least 10 per cent or otner
flour to lie used in making wheat bread
and rolls.
Thinl.—Most breakfast rolls will be
baked of other than wheat flour.
Fourth.—Stale broad and toast trim
mings are to be made into "wnr bread''
for guests and employees.
Fifth.—Elimination of rough bread,
which requires mure butter than
sjnooth bread.
Sixth.—Elimination of toast as a gar
nish to meat dishes.
Seventh.—Discourage the use of fresh
pork.
Eighth.—Broiling, roasting, braising
and stewing is to be encouraged and
frying discouraged to conserve butter
and lard.
Ninth.—Service of veal, lamb and
suckling pi'.' to be discouraged.
Teuth.—Reef to be eliminated one
day each week other than Friday.
Eleventh.—Cheese is to be removed
from free lunch counters.
Twelfth.—The use of sea food, fresh
vegetables utid fiuus is to be encour
aged.
The "war bread"' which Is to b*
baked in the hotels is based on a sim
ple recipe and can be made by any
housewife. It is: On the basis of a
butter tub of stnle bread, crusts, etc.,
add ten quarts of water and ten ounces
of salt: soak thoroughly ai'd strain
through a flour sieve. For this quan
tity use one-half pound of yeast and
enough flour to make a very stiff
dough.
