Debs and his friends. who claimed 70

from the policy that has heretofore attend

importan. reason for it. Doubtless it is TO

IL is not bluff that the United States will

made advisable by the departure OF Adj

NECESSITY OF ARMY COOKS.
A Suggestion That VIII Interest
Washington Volunteers.

washington Post.
Everyone knows how essential to the
welfare and happiness OF q family Is a
good cook. A capable presiding genius in
the kitchen means a careful economy Of
food and digestible and paiatable meals
served at regular hours. Without a good
cook, the household becomes dlsorganized
and dyspeptic, and is visited by untold
ills
So self-evident are these propositions
that their application TO the army In
camp needs no demonstration. 1t is no
wonder. therefore. that Gen. Charles 2.
Egan, the head Of the commssary de-
partment Of the army. has secured the
cooperation of Secretary Afger In appeal
ing to congress for the passage of a bill
authorizing the enlistment of a cook for
each company, battery ana troop of the
regular and volunteer armies. Gen Egan
emphasizes the necessity ror this fegfsia
ton when he says that the trouble about
rations is not lack of quantity but in the
Inability of the men to properly prepare
what is served to them. Then he says:
'One OF the most important problems
OF the military art is the proper feeding
of the soldier. Under existing regulations
food supplies are issued for periods of ten
days at time, Aen coml.g fresh from
the walks OF private life are unskiIled in
the art of cooking. The ten days ratons
IL intrusted TO them. are from their in
experience ana 0nSkiifuiEeSS TOO OFTEN
used up by the seventh or eighth day, and
complaints spreading abroad. too Otter
give rise TO the supposition that The gov
eminent is not supplying sufficient food
whereas what is supplied constitutes a
ration that is more ample ,nan any other
In the world, and fully sufficient. If prop

nourishnent

ed soldier. and bad cooking VIII disappear
and the men become self-retant and self
dependent when separated from their

ments."
All this Is 50 sensible. so practical and
50 truthful that congress should not heSi-
tate in the prompt passage Of the bill
Between the unlocked ratiors and the

luxury, but a necessity.
