A Kings Hobby

OF all the maniaS that afflict mankind
the most ancient and curious is prob
ably that for collecting. The victims
collect pretty nearly everything from
books to shoe buckles and from pots to
postage stamps, but giant collecting was
the hobby of Frederick William l., king
of Prussia.
Nature designed him for a recruiting
officer; destiny made him a monarch.
All were fish who came into his net
SaXOns, Austrians, Hessians, Turks,
Swedes, Englishmen, Irishmen, Afri-
cans-provided they were at least two
yards long. Some of his specimens
were seven feet long. Now and then he
obtained one still more prodigious.

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect

II
There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells Of I'M
consciousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos
tum is well worth recording.
IL used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught me
sometimes two or three times day.
"My friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieye it, and still drank coffee until l
could not leave my room.
'sThen my doctor, who drinks Postum
himself, persuaded me to stop coffee
and try Postum. After much hesitation
l concluded to try it. That was eight
months ago. Since then have had but
few of those spells, none for more than
four months.
ST feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. 1 now drink nothing
but Postum and touch no coffee, ano
as 1 am seventy years of age all my
friends think the improvement quite re-
markable."

Didn,t Want Congratulations.

The late Duke of Westminster once
received when at Stack, in West Suth-

pressing the hope that the dukes horse

the telegram from the nearest office.
He instantly wrote his thanks for the
attention, adding, however, that his
friend need not trouble to wire again
if the horse won. The friend at once
telegraphed in reply, Gail right" which

BAKING BREAD FOR AN ARMY.

nishcd at Fort Riley.
''I'm looking for my nephew" In
quired an old man at the headquarters
of one Of the militia regiments at the
maneuver camp at Fort Riley" says
tie Kansas City Star. "His father anG
I fought together in the civil war, and
I want to see what kind of a fighting
man you are making of the nephew.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
sought-for relative was detailed for
service at the-division bakery.
"What, learning to bake bread?' re-
81 thought he was learning to fight"
To keep the 5000 soldiers in the big
maneuver camp supplied with bread
has been one of the vexing problems.
Various methods have been tried. Per-
hapS the one most used was to buy
bread from the bakery at Fort Riley.
But it was a long trip from the camp
to the post and it was decided this
year to bake the bread at the camp.
So it is that three men from each COM
were detailed to the division bakery.
They usually arrive day or two ahead
| Of the commands to which they belong
and report for duty at the row of clean,
white tents on t1e river side Of the
road just at the west entrance Of the
maneuver camp.
The bakery force includes four in
structors ond fifteen graduates from
| the bakers and cooks school at Fort
Riley. This force is supplemented by
the men detailed from the various
regiments. Twenty-four ovens Of the
Touchdown type, fireless cookers and
| field chests were installed for the pur-
pose of supplying the whole camp with
bread and for experimental purposes.
Each of the cegimental organizations
has. of course, it's own kitchen, for the
bakery supplies only bread-no pie Oh
pastry is on the bill Of fare of the sol
der at the maneuver camp unless he is
invited to sat at an officers mess.
The battery of regimental bake ovens
Is divided into four sections, with q
daily capacity of bread sufficient TO
feed eight regiments, or about 1000
loaves. There are eight men to each
| Of the four sections, a chief and seven
men. These men alternate in the va
rious duties of making fires in the bake
ovens, mixing the -four dough and bak-
Ing the bread. Each section has its
store tent, where the bread is piled in
neat racks. The entrances are screened
and no housewife, however particular,
could complain of lack of cleanliness.
She floors are sand-sovered and ey-
erything is as spick and span as a
brides kitchen. Most of the bread is
baked in the size known as double ra-
ton; that is, bread for two men for
one day. There are four pans in each
oven, each capable of holding twenty
eight double ration loaves. 1t takes
200 pounds of -four to mix bread for
one run in three ovens. The bakery
has been furnishing the bread for the
entire camp with an average of two
bakings a day. The bread is distrib-
uted ON order from the colrmissary de-
partment.
