COOKERY . ------ : 'Which Is Not Responsible fer The | Waste at the Military Barracks-- | How the Waste Occurs. | It is net the fault of the Kingston | Military School of Cockery, under | the direction of Sergt.-Major V. C. + Kerrison, W. O., that there is so i much food waste at the various bar- | racks here, for 8conomy is one of { the chief things taught in this { gehool, which is doing much te bring the culinary department of the Canadian Militia to a higher stan- { dard. The Whig had an opportunity of looking into the work of this | school and found that .the lectures | and directions are based upon the | highest principles of the culinary art. Those attending the school | are taught not only how to prepare "food, but also how to prevent waste and to make a profit on the\produets of castaway materials, . . The soldiers' food allowance is most liberal, and a very casual study . | J $ { i of the menu for the week shows that | the soldiers do not tras. The regular «more than sufficient. From , what the Whig can learn the big food waste revealed by the 'great amount, of military garbage is caused to a large extent by the extra food bought by the artillerymen, who contribute about five cents a day for extras, they being allowed to do this. The School of Cookery course tells | what utensils should be used for the proper handling of garbage™and it is apparent that these utensils are not supplied to the barracks.
