FOOD For THE FIGHTERS.
How Uncle Sam Is Providing For
His Soldier Boys Who War
In The Tropics.

One of the important parts
in modern army organization il
the comnTfssary department-those
who have charge of providing
the necessaries of life for the
men who are fighting their coun-
try's battles. And this problem grows
larger each succeeding year as our
nation pushes its power out over the
globe. The time was when our gov
eminent needed to consider no eli
mate but our native one when buying
supplies for the army, but now since
our flag is kissed by the sun of al
most every cline, and since, as Web
ster said of England, ''our morning re-
veille is heard round the world" we
have found it necessary to use the
greatest care to select those food pro-
ducts which possess the greatest
amount of nutritive qualities, and
which, at the same time, are prepared
with such care and intelligence that
makes il possible for them to be
transported thousands of miles,
through varying climates. and still
RETAIN freshness and strength
Thus it is that the United States
government is putting the best brains
and experience into the work of feed
ing hts soldiers, for the food they
eat is more important, in its bearing
on their fighting qualities, than their
accoutrements. AS an example Of
the way Uncle Sam does things, it
may be noted that an order was re-
Gently placed with Swift & Co., the
well known Kansas City packers, for
100000 pounds of their Fancy Break-
fast Bacon. This will go to San
Francisco in car lots, and from there
ito China. 1t would no doubt be q
pleasing reflection for some soldier
boy, he stands within the walls Of
the Imperial City, to think that the
meat he is eating might have come
from off his own fathers farm in the
valley of the Kaw, OF along the banks
of the Missouri, or out on the plains
of Kansas. And so might some farm
er, as he stands feeding his porkers,
fondly imagine that they may some
day be transformed into Fancy Break
fast Bacon such as is made by Swift &
Company, and that his boy, in the
land Of THE Celestials, or on the banks
of the Pasig, might make meal from
1t. 1t is matter for congratulatioa
that the American soldier does not
need ITO eat mouthful of prepared
food bearing any other than an Amer
ican label, and that both raw and
finished product comes from his own
home land.

There was a decided preference
throughout the week for light and
medium weight hogs, and very little
demand for heavy hogs. The low day
of the week was on Monday, the 18th,

higher receipts until there is some
