CHICAGO. Jan. 28.—The desire on
the part of the average patron of the
public eating house to save time and
moneyiin procuring his meals. is as-
signed by C. A. Westberg. manager of
a~chain of Chicago cafeterias. as the
reason for the rise of the cafeteria
during recent years to a prominent
place in public favar.

dishes offered is a possible third tac‘
