It is a strange fact that the greater tho number called for, the less food proportionately is requir-, ed, The reason may be that less evaporation and shrinkage takes place when large quantities are cooked together, but whatever the reason Is, caterers have always found that it is the case, FIGURING ON MEAT, MILK When buying, allow 6 ounces of golid meat for each adult male per son, or 6 to 8 ounces with the bone, and allow 6 to § ounces of fish when it is to by the principal dish of the meal, Ono pound of sprouts or other greens will serve threo or four people. and when making pud- dings, allow 2 cunces of flour, and a half to ono cunce of fat per head. Milk puddings require a 1% cup of milk and a quarter to half an ounco . of cereal for cach person (use less of fine grain than you would of a larger one). Sugar is usually calculated as a pound a head per week for all pur- poses, but if you have to use less than "this amount, the deficlency can always be made vp with syrup which can replace the sugar in a great many puddings and some .cakos. Allow one pint of milk for each -persoh per day and half a 'pound of bread. .
