FOOD SAVING TAKES QUEER TURN IN TEXAS

Dallas, Tex. —In the fight to conserve food supplies a Dallas restaurant has posted signs that molasses and hot cakes must come out “even.” » The sign says that any molasses left on a customer’s plate after the consumption .of an order of “wheats” will bring an extra charge on his check. This restaurant has also adopted the rule of giving pennies in change, several Items on the menu being priced in odd cents, an unusual thing in the Southwest.
