The committee who have in charge
the arrangements for the excursion Of
the silk mill employees to Lake Lo-
dore one week from today are highly
graitfied over the prospects for large

The evolution OF the army ration is dwelt upon
al some length. The success that has attended
the post exchanges at garrisons throughout the
country Is noted and II is said that the con-
sensus of opinion in the Army generally IS that
the present exchange promotes the morals, temper
ance, discipline and health OF the men. Sales OF
liquor confined TO soft drinks beer and light
wine, a radical departure from the old system
when whiskey was one OF the articles issued by
the Subsistence Department.
