••' - ■ Exposing The Restaurant Racket ... and a $2.00 Restaurant Meal “EATING OUT” is expensive. You can Wuy a steak and cook it at home for much less than it vrill cost in a restaurant. Or you can give your wife a recessJjirjjm the hot stove—hang the expense! I; ■ /JI When jyou do go out for a good dinner, you probably have to pay $2 a plate. How much of that is the cost of the food, and how much is the cost of serving it in clean and pleasant surroundings? Anq how much \ of the $2 is the propreitor able to put on his books as profit ?' Mind you, this restaurant-is no Stork Club;.it’s ' just a good place to eat, where they put i tablecloth on the table, serve an appetizer, soup, a main course, bread and butter, dessert and coffee. The same quantity of food, if you could buy it at • restaurant wholesale prices, would cost you about 84 cents. That’s 42% of the cost of your meal, In theory, at least, the remaining $1.16 pays for having the food cooked and served to you, and for the luxury of sbeing ablesto walk away from the mess that’s left; * ! That $1.16 goes a long way. Roughly 56 cents of it goes to pay the cook, the waitress, the bus boy, the R cashier, the hostess, the manager. H Ji Heat* light, refrigeration, insurance and other small items of overhead cost another 16 cetyts. Approximately 10 cents of the $2 cost of the medl will ( go toward the rent of the building, or help defray * the purchase price. A dime will be placed in reserve for depreciation. Laundry and cleaning bills will eati up another 8 cents. Maintenance costs, including replacement of broken dishes and other expendables, come to roughly \, 6 cents on as 2 meal. J < I A nickel of your $2 will pay the office expenses, promotion, and miscellaneous costs. -4 . What’s left? Exactly 5 cents, or 2’4 %• That’s the usual profit in a commercial restaurant. This low f margin of profit accounts for the abnormally high rate of failure in the restaurant business. One false move —a mistake in food buying, or inefficient use of labor —can switch the whole operation into the red. Normally, 50% of all new restaurants fail within the first . year of operation, and 80% within the first five years. So when you pay your check, and walk out feeling full but a little broke, remember that the restaurant owner probably doesn’t feel so flush, either.

‘;■ ! : : j i ' .V J 1 ' : ij ■ ’ ! Spring Campaign On Rats Is Underway Best Methods For Elimination Given - : i I . IU Lafayette. Ind.. Feb. 19.—The best defense in the spring rat campaign is to keep the ifodejjt enemy at a distance from’the home territory by ;a series of defensive lines, says William D. Fitzwater Jr., assistant district agent, of the U.S. fish and wild life service at Purdue. According to Fitzwater, rats are concentrated where there is food and shelteif. If the campaign ip carried on in towns, points to Watch , are substandard dwellings and alleys of tHe residential districts where garbage facilities may be inadequate or floors may be undermined. In rdral areas rats harbor in farm buildings, or along bushchoked banks of waterways, hedgerows, overgrown fence lines and fields cluttered with debris, trash littered highways and railroad embankments. Rats: can also hitchhike in trucks, the wildlife, specialist reports. ( ' As neither rats nor mice like to travel across open spaces, the campaign will center on the concentration areas. The best defensive ‘weapon is a bait box. plentifully , supplied with warfarin bait. This box is some form of cover that prevents entrance of-] animals other than rats and mice and protects the bait from the weather. Openings should not be larger than about three inches. Warfarin cornmeal bait is placed inside in' low containers. The bait stations should be on basement .and ground floprs. The warfarin bait may be supplemented by use of the common wbdden-base snap trap modified by enlarging the bait pan with a piece' of cardboard or flyscreening. The traps may or may not be baited with rolled oatg. The traps arU set at right angles to the wall along paths frequented by rats. {; — i NEW ENGLAND (Continned From Page One! drifted the snow faster I than it could be cleared.

The Ohio Republican made the statement in questioning Sen.

Without indicating whether *he is for or against the TiUeasufe, Taft asked Moody “if ft would not be batter for the federal government to provide jobs for these men rather than just to raise their unemployment compensatian.” Moody said he hopes defense contracts ultimately will take care of Michigan’s jobless.
