Rensselaer Restaurants Observing Meatless Day Today.

Rensselaer rsstaur.'.!.’; ? today are observing meatless day, following the request of Food Administrator Hpover some time ago, asking the citizen? of tT'rTmited f cates to rc frain from eating meat on Tuesday, in order that the supply might be conserved for the soldiers.—The Rensselaer restaurants intend to follow the plan during the duration of the war. Patrons of the restaurants accepted the plan good naturedly and ate just as heartily without their meat. Cheese, oyster, and egg sandwiches took the place of pork and ham sandwiches. Beef, porterhouse and veal gave way to oysters and chicken and apparently just as much food was eaten today as on' any other Tuesday. It is not known how many of the housewives followed the plan of the food administrator, but it is thought that as soon as they get more acquainted with the ideas of the government they will fall into line. Tomorrow, Wednesday, has been designated as wheatless day and the public eating places are planning their menu? accordingly. Corn bread, rye bread, and graham bread will take the place of wheat bread. Pies will only boast one crust and even tt. is vh-at v »i7. will be done away- with as soon as some other kind of crust can be found to take its place.
