Then why don't we all have

weak that the germs master. ,
The body must be well supplied

That our government has m. excea.
lent transport feet In its service ar
pears to be the general opinion not
only of our own, but Of foreign officers.
The ships we bought of an English
company ut the time Of the Spanish
war have been remodeled since they
came under our flag. Originally In
tended rs much for cargo boats as for
passenger service. they have been 50
reconstructed that they are now mode,
troopships which literally accommo.
date more than regiment. Soldiers
are not packed into them like sardines.
but have comfortable quarters. 81
ample are the facilities for the well be-
ing of soldiers that all can live up to
the requirement of three baths week.
Our latest transports have attracted
great attention from foreign nations
France has asked for copies of the
plans of the Sheridan. and our gov
eminent has granted the request. The
British government also desires plans
of the cold storage plants. whereby
fresh meat for 1900 men for so days
is carried from New York to Manila
All this is gratifying not only to ma
tional pride, but as just recognition
of the nations obligation to it's sol
diers to make them as comfortable as
possible on their way to and from the
place of military operations.
