ALL SATISFIED
 WITH PINE CAMP Members of the Second Regi- ment State That Experi-
 ences There Were
 Best Ever.
VERY LITTLE GRUMBLING
Days Routine Enlivened by Many Regular Army Features Strictly n Dry
 Camp.

Now that the early morning rising for hike through the country and sore feet and tired bodies gre things of the past, the members Jf' the Sec ond regiment are practically universal In the opinion that the ten days of eX- perience at Pine Camp, x. r., con- stituted the most successful camp they have ever participated in. The vet rans" who fought out the struggles of Manassas are practically agreed that while the work this year was hard and continuous, the encampment was by no means as arduous as that of three years ago. one of the great factors that were responsible for this was the fact that dust was not the kind that at Manassas irrltated the mems eyes and noses; also they state that the hikes were more evenly regulated as to distance, and the country was more suitable for the purpose, Although there were some men who grumbled on being compelled to shoulder full equipment and start on iEo of these tramps, now that 1t Is all over they are agreed that the maneuvers were both interesting and instructive to the pri- yates as we'll as the officers
 To those fond parents ard sweet hearts who were unable 10 see their friends at the front, some of the things which the soldier boys did may prove interesting. At 5:l5 In the morning revellle was soun la l, and half a hour later came mess, and at : o'clock, assembly The balance of the morning was given up. at battalion drill and after the midday meal the men again started in on these same drills. This of course only held while they were in camp. The hikes" in each case led up to the various bat ties, which were the most interesting features of the ten days, Several in- teresting stories are told of incidents in camp. One of these was on Tues day when the troops marched into Sterlingville. The village consists of one or two stores and a saloon and a small group of houses. A private il one of the companies approached Il native of Sterlingvile, and said in a jocose manner, this Is quite town you have,' whereupon the native res bonded with pardonable pride gosh I guess 1t is but reckon you don't know that there is almost as much again of 1t about two miles down the road"

as basis of circulation. The government needo
roads, The rural mail service is costing now
$35, 100000 per year. 1t will soon cost $780,
100000. With good roads everywhere good
service can be performed at saving of ~
per cent This means saving of 100000
to $4,000, 900 per year in the cost OF the ser
vice and this would pay the interest on ver1
large sum of money.
The government has the right under tho
constitution to build roads or help build them
It needs them to use and it has almost un'
limited ability to help build them. If the gov
eminent we're to issue $400000,000 Of two per
cent bonds to assist the states in building
roads that are used for rural mail delivery.
say in paying onefourth Of the cost, the sum
would be sufficient for the purpose and tho
saving in rural delivery alone would pay tho
interest on the bonds. While the government
would save from 100000 to $1o,0oo000 tho
people would save $150.000000 to $200000,00
by good roads, The great need of this country
to put it on par with other countries in tho
matter Of transportation is good country roads.

Commercial starches can be identified with
considerable accuracy by means of the ms
croscope. The examination of spices forms an
other interesting application of this method
of food analysis. In coffee and chocolate prep
aratfons roasted chicory, cereals, and peas in
the case of the former and starchy materials
and cocoa shells in the case of the latter, car
be detected by means of the microscope.
Thickeners used in the production Of ar.
tiicial jellies, jams, and other CONNECTIONS, can
be more or less easily detected by microscopic
tests. The thickener materials are gelatin,
starch, agar-agar, gum tragacanth and gum
arabic. Another example of microscopic ex-
animation is the detection Of flowers Of which
honey is made. This is of practical value in
the analysis of honeys purporting to be from
certain flowers. detailed description of how
the microscope comes to the aid of the chemist
when he endeavors to detect fraud in food
and food products is given in the year book
of the department of agriculture.
