IES1WMEN FOB (ISE1TI1 At a meeting of the restaurant men of the city yesterday afternoon, a permanent per-manent organization, known as the Restaurant conservation was organized. organ-ized. The purpose of this association, as the name implies. Is to conserve food during the period of the war. Angus An-gus Kennedy is the president, and David Mattson is secretary and treasurer. treas-urer. The meeting yesterday was held in the Stimson cafe. After a discussion of the meatless and wheatless day held this week, it was discovered that in several Instances In-stances the days were not observed. For Instance, crackers were served with soup. It was decided to eliminate these. In some instances a substitute of "war bread" was provided but other cafes made no provision for a substitute. substi-tute. It was also reported that certain cer-tain soda fountains in the city served white bread on the wheatless day. The attention of the owners of these places will be called to the infraction of the rules and the rules will be strictly enforced en-forced in tho future. It was also noticed that certain places served chili on "Meatless Tuesday," Tues-day," and, as this contains meat, It will not be possible to partake of this dainty on Tuesdays hereafter. "The restaurant men's organization Is purely one to handle problems in connection with food conservation," said Angus Kennedy last evening. "It will. take no action, formally or informally, infor-mally, as to prices. That is a question ques-tion for the individual restaurant man to settle. Some places give special service for which they charge more, some provide the very minimum of service and they can charge less. Others Oth-ers range In between. Convenience of location, quality of foods and such things all enter Into the prices that are made, so each restaurant man ought to set his own scale. However, we have found that there aro many problems that the restaurant men can solve by getting together, particularly as to food conservation under government govern-ment plans."
