In order to point out the the detriment these unchangeable breakfast cards are to the quality of the dishes served, here is a copy of one that was in use at a good two-dollar-a-day hotel. There are so many articles offered to the person at table, there are too many, but no more than rival houses offer and no more than is expected. It was a rule of that landlord that nothing must be crossed off his bills.

"Our list is so small," he would say, "that we cannot afford to drop even one dish from it." Consequently, although the meats might be cooked only as wanted there were many other articles that were necessarily prepared beforehand and by the usual contrariness of the luck when the corned beef hash, the corn bread, codfish balls, or what-, ever else was fresh made, as good, as bright colored, as rich, as well flavored as it could be there would not be one order for it; but, when it had been put away, brought out again and warmed over, lost its first good quality and looked common and stale, then by the same blessed luck, everybody in the dining-room would be seized with a desire to have some. Did we try another way and make only five codfish balls instead of twenty - determined not to have any left over - that very morning at least twenty-five people would call for codfish balls at once.

But here at Uintah Lake we will not have any breakfast or supper bill and you shall see how we will make the cod-fish balls go, each one to its proper plate.
