FEEDING THE SOLDIERS.
Secretary AIger Wants the Army to
Enlist Good Cooks.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June B.-Spe-

TO Congress a letter from the Commits
sary-General Of Subsistence urging the
passage of a bill directing the enlist
ment of cooks I'm the Regular and Nolun-,
teer Armies of the United states Inc
bill has been introduced in the House
and favorably reported by the Commit

the dissatisfaction prevalent with refer
ence to the food supply Commissary-
General Eagan says the same state OF ar
fairs existed after the armies had taken
the field I'm 1901 He then says:
cone of the most important problems
Of the military art is the proper feeding
Of the soldier. Under existing regulations

He Paid for His Dinner.

When the North Dakota Regiment

the san Francisco Examiner, they were

shown into the spacious dining room pre-
sided over by the ladies OF the Red Cross
II was q good day for the soldier boys.
The bill of fare was ample.
And perhaps the soldiers did not enjoy

by the long trip. but the majority OF
them were blessed with good appetite

he finished he sat back in his chair and

Finally he found what he was looking
for and extended his hand with ten cents
In Il.
what Is that?" asked the society bud,
a smile dimpling her pretty face.
That's for the meal" said the pri-
vate, somewhat embarrassed at her man
ner
"Oh. we don't charge for this" she
said. This lunch is given By the Red
Cross"
"Oh." he stammered. and his embar-
rassment deepened. ''We-en, you take
this anyhow and buy some gun' or
something for yourself"
Ten cents
Her father is worth million.
And the soldiers income is sl3 month.
The pretty bud thought for awhile.
She knew 1t would do the young fellows

would take It.
But you must let me give you some
flowers" she said. and as she pinned
boutonniere in his lapel. she dropped

The annual pilgrimage Of health seek

10 the discovery OF the springs them

from afar and camped IN the woods ABOUT

springs IS large. 81 IS small In compari-
son with the great number that use the

The praise bestowed on these waters
by leading members OF the medical pro-

daily practice would seem almost extra

with their remarkable curative powers.
Rut the reports Of cases made usually
before associations OF physicians ana

THREE NEW OFFICERS.
II speaks well for those who have held
Office during the past term that there
were only three changes made by the new
Council. and those changes did not occur
on account of any idea that those dis
placed were not competent to fill their
positions The change was, of course,
purely a matter of politics. The new
officers are:
Hon. Henry r. Pollard City Attorney.
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Landers. Inspector Of
Plumbing.
Capt John A. Curtis. Harbormaster
Mr. Pollard is too well known as a law
yer and citizen to require any introduce
ton. as is aso Capt. John a. Curtis. and
the same may be said Of Mr.. Landers.
who is a thoroughly competent and re-
liable man, as was his predecessor, Mr.
Arsell.
Everybody reioices that Mr.. Ben. T.
August. City Clerk; Mr.. George c. Rus
kell, sergeant-at-Arms: and Mr. Alfred
II. Mcdowell. Clerk TO Committees. con-
tinue in office.
There Is no city In the union which has
ever been more faithfully, CONSCIENTIOUS
". and efficiently served by an official
than was Richmond by Mr. August, and
there is no more living who would have
the temerity 10 run against him.
MIR Ruskell is an ideal Sergeant-at-
Arms. lie has only held office short
time. but that has been sufficient 10
prove his worth. and the prediction can
be made with confidence that he will
hold the Office until he voluntarily gives

TWO TIP-TOP OFFICIALS.
The city is 20 be congratulated on the
reelection TO the position of Superin-

thousands Of dollars by his practical
business methods and untiring vigilance.

giving his time and every talent

mating plant
Another official whose place u would
10 fll, is Mr. Charles f. Boiling, Superin-
tendent OF the Water Works. Mr.. Boil
ing spends his days in arduous efforts 10
make the water works OF the city second
to none in the United States.
Mr. Bollngs work is 10 him p source
of pleasure. and some people have sug-
gested that Il would be fair 10 make him
pay a certain sum 10 the city for the en-
ioyment he gets out OF It, The fact IS.
however that Mr.. Boiling would be cheap
at double his present salary, which fact
Is universally recognized.

interest Is felt in these appointments, as
there are certain committees upon when
councilmen can render their constllu-
ents great service. and there is conse-
ouentlv a great scramble TO secure these
positions. -
First in importance. is the chairman
shin of the Finance Committee, worthily
alle6 for some time past by Mr(Charies
w. Hardwicke. Of jefferson Ward. There
seems no reason 10 doubt that Mr. Hard
w-icke will retain this position. provided
he is willing to do so. for he has made
an erninently, fair. just and able chair
man.
There are some who have complained
that il has been a little difficult 10 get
Mr. HardWicke TO agree 10 appropIla-
lions which they deemed necessary, nut
the wisdom Of his course has ottimes
checked attempted extravaganza. on the
whole II may be said that he has hlled
a very trying position as well as any man
could have done. and has worked early
and late. even TO the neglect OF MS own
affairs for the city's good.
As 10 the personel OF the committee. II
Is almost certain that the majority or the
present members who have been re-elect-
ed will be retained. II is said however

Committee on Relief of the poor. and
will probably continue TO do so. He had

his time to looking after the details Of

The Committee on Health. which is a
body whose importance to the city can
not be overestmated, IS presided over
by Mr.. julius A Hobson, Of Madison

course. that no man could be chosen
who would fill the position more ably
