Show . .. . , j Thea Schweitzer, Food Administrator of Bingham, Says Regulations Regula-tions For the Conservation of Meat and Wheat Are Well Observed in This CommunityOnly Trouble Met With is the Difficulty of Securing Substitutes. . , ; Bingham people are now consistently consistent-ly observing the meatless aud wheat-1 less' regulations, according to a state-" ment given out this week by Theo. Schweitzer, , food administrator , for this community. . Mr. Schweitzer states that the ho- ' ' tela, boarding houses and restaurants are cerefully carrying out the plan, of conservation suggested by the government. govern-ment. The plan now la operation is wheatless Monday meatless Tuesday, wheatless Wednesday, porkless Saturday Satur-day and one wheatless and one meatless meat-less meal each day in the week. As a .- ; whole the people of Bingham aceept&d the condition in good faith and there ' are only a few who are Inclined to make complaints about the restrictions. restric-tions. The great majority feel rightly that this small sacrifice is nothing to be compared with the sacrifice of the men who wear the uniforms and go out to fight the battles. The greatest inconvenience experienced, exper-ienced, iMr. Schweitzer says, is the difficulty dif-ficulty in securing the necessary substitutes sub-stitutes for meat and wheat. The' substitutes give satisfaction, but to get them in sufficient quantities to replace the meat and wheat diet Is quite a task. The products of corn, rye, buckwheat buck-wheat and poultry, fish and game are now becoming very popular in this community, but there is not such & great abundance. ' This condition is expected to Improve Im-prove as hereafter much more attention atten-tion wjjl be given to securing these products. When thjs Is accomplished there will be no ground for complaint here en the question of tfood. The meatless and wheatless program In, Bingham-did not meet with the op- ' position that some had anticipated. There were those who sa!d that the regulation could not be made operative In a mining camp, but In this they I were badly mistaken, as the progress so far has plainly shown. Mr. Schweitzer Schweit-zer Is highly pleased with the splendid manner in which the proprietors of the various eating places have fallen into line and are co-operating In carrying carry-ing out the regulations. |
