Thomas, Ky. Sergeant Harry B. Clyatt, Infantry, U. S. Army, the author of this pamphlet, is a gradu- ate of the Army School for Cooks and Bakers, and has been on duty at this post for approxi- mately four (4) years. During this period he gained valuable experience in the art of pro- viding food for large bodies of soldiers, especi- ally so during the draft-period, when at times as many as 5,000 men were subsisted at this post. As an aid in the selection of appropriate menus, and as a handy reference-manual to calculate almost instantly the different quanti- ties of food-components required in order to prepare said menus with a minimum loss and wastage, the contents of this pamphlet should prove of great help and assistance to all persons charged with the important task of preparing meals in either small or large quantities.
