WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. — Some
time or other while you are at camp,
you are going to be drafted for n
month's duty ns dining room orderly.
And woe be unto you If yon muff your
job. The mess sergeant, that monarch
of the mess hall crowned with a white
cap, will be good to you as long as
| you are good to your job. But If you
flunk, O boy!
So, for your advance information,
here is a list of your duties:
j Your boss is the mess sergeant. You
; are held responsible for the eleanll
| ness of the dining room, pantry, the
dishes and utensils.
if a plate, a spoon, a cup or what
soever, Is lost or broken, and you can
not find it or name the man who is to
blame for it. you're the goat. Upon
being relieved at the end of your
month's salary, all loss and breakage
unaccounted for is charged out of your
pay.
You have got to be at the mess hall
not less than ten minutes before each
meal. Then you cut the bread into
thin slices and pile it neatly on plates,
one of which is provided for each
table.
j During the service of the meal, you
' stay In the bread room and cut bread
~ handing it out to the waiters as they
call for it. And if you're wise yon
will stay there and cut bread, noth
ing else. Be mighty careful how you
cut it along toward the end of the
meal. too. If you cut more than the
men can eat, and a lot is left over
you will hoar from the mos ssergeant
In no uncertain tone.
After the meal hi3 been served,
check up on every man'# table, ihen
take all the food l?ft over on the
serving table back to the kitchen
Whatever bread is left over in slices
you pack closely in the bread l,o\
and serve first at the next meal. And
9 don't throw away the bread crumb;
- that accumulate in the bread room
and the pr.ntry. Turn them over to
the cooks. They can use them.
Then you help boss the cook s po
lice, clear the tables in the dining
room. Next you brusn the tables
Then you scrub their, good with hot
water and soap, rinse them in cold
water, and dry them. Then you clean
the salt cellars, pepper boxes, vinegar
cruets, mustard pots airl sugar bowls
and fill them for the nex-: meal.
After breakfast you place the 3tools
vn the tables, legs up. Then you
sweep and mop the dining room floor,
using us litttle water as possible, for
the sake of avoiding sloppiness and
carefully dry it.
After dinner and supper, in addi
tion to the aforementioned things, you
iweep the dining room carefully. As
icon as the floor is swept
ind scrubbed, you set the tables, put
the stools in place and make the din
ing room as clean and neat looking
us possible. That's the job. If you
do it right, you will be commended.
If you do it wrong you will be made
to do it right.
