CUBA COSTS MILLIONS.
Expenses of Army of PaciGcation

Expenses Of Army of PaciHcation
$2,554,o7O for 1907.
1t cost the American government 3d..
6o4,910, in addition to the regular ord.
nary expense, to keep the American army
of Cuban pacifcation in that island dur
ing the fiscal year of 1907. This fact is
shown in the annual report of Gen. Ale
shire, quartermaster general of the army.
OF the amount stated $1,015,3S3 was
spent for transportation.
Gen. Aleshire deyotes few words to
the work of the quartermasters depart
ment and its qualifications over a great
portion of the world covered by the Unit
ed States and its territorial possessions,
at the same time pointing out that the
strength of the corps consisted of but
ninety-six commissioned officers and 200
post quartermaster sergeants, in addition
to seyenty-six line officers who were de
tailed in connection with the departments
work.
The general points out the argent ne
cessity for such an increase in the num-
Der Of commissioned officers az will relieve
the department from the necessity of call
ing upon line officers to perform its du-
ties; also for an increase ia the num-
Der Of post quartermaster sergeantS and
the creation of a gensral service corps for
the work of the department.
Gen. Al9shire expresses thu opinion that
the limit of cost, now $4,000 for build
ings. which can be constructed without
special authority of Congress ought to be
increased to 100000 This Is especially
urgent with reference to hospitals.
He says that carefully prepared statis-
ties show that the prices of nearly all the
lumber used in ordinary construction have
advanced fully 100 per cent since 1904,
and the higher grades of finishing lum-
Der even more than that.
Because it is economical the bulk of the
coal required for the trans Pacific trans
port service is procured at Nagasaki,
Japan, where upon the return trip to the
United States all transports take aboard
coal to their cargo capacity. The coal
ing is done very rapidly, as much as 1908
tons having been put aboard in a work
ing day of ten hours.

Making Cloth from PAPER.


ITO the ingenuity OF Herr Emil Cla.
riez, a well-known Saxon inventor and
manufacturer, is due the production of
paper yarn termed "Zylolin," that
has been successfully used in a wide
range Of textile fabrics" So writes
Frank N. Bauskett in the Technical
World Magazine.
1.-THE utilization OF paper wood fibre
N this practical way and the extreme
.heapness Of the new material conn
pared with other yarns now in use is
.eally a most remarkable achievement.
This is not a haphazard discovery, but
:ather the logical result Of years Of
I,ainstaking study and experimentation.
After the final development Of the the
Dry at first in mind into tangible ma
.terial for all manner of uses in textile
industries, the paper thread and yarn,
loose or tightly spun, of all thickpesses,
have since been woven into almost ev-
cry conceivable fabric and tested and
retested until the invention has become
an important commercial success. The
paper yarn has extraordinary wearing
properties, and as the full scope Of it's
usefulness has probably not been deter
mined, it will, in all likelihood, lend
itself to other purposes yet to be dis
covered"

Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
A little boy down in n. G. asked his
mother to write an account Of how
Grapefruit food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She says:
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While l was there I used
the Food regularly. / gained about Is
pounds and felt so well that when /
returned home began using Grape
Nuts in our family regularly.
"My little Is months old baby shot
1y after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
1t was painful to handle her and we
thought we We're going to lose her. One
day happy thought urged me to try
Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm
milk.
well, it worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Some time ago several Of the fam
lily were stricken with La Grippe at
the same time, and during the worst
stages we could not relish anything in
the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges, everything else nauseated us.

IN animal make up your mind at once
that that beast is or was at one time
the property of our rich old Uncle
Ham," says the Washington Post.
Then, again, if you knew the key to
the system Of branding utilized by the
quartermaster's department, Y. S. A,
you would in moment be able to tell
the organization of the army to which
that animal was assigned Immediately
after purchase by the government.
Last October, when the army Of Gu
ban pacification was being embarked
from Newport News, Va, many OF the
army horses and mules awaiting ship
ment became mixed with those of 9th
err organizations, but 1t only needed
the knowledge of Sergeant Casey to de-
cipher the hoof brands and dispatch
the animals to their proper organiza-
tons. In other words, these brands
serve as identification tags"
Branding public animals is not a
matter OF choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which direct
that public animals shall, upon the
day received, be branded with the let
tiers u. s. on the left foreshoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also be branded on the hoof of one
forefoot, one and one-half inches below
the coronet, with the designation Of
the company. Branding irons Of uni
form size and design will be supplied
by the quartermaster's department.
Letters u. s. TO be two inches in
height Letters and numbers of hoof
brands on the same line. to be three
fourths of an inch high, the letter to
precede the number, and blocked so as
to penetrate the hoof one-sixteenth of
an inch. For example, the hoof
brands on horses assigned to band, 9th
cavalry, would be CB9; to Troop A.
9th cavalry, would be AS; to Company
A, Battalion Of Engineers, would be
BEA."
