keys on only two holidays in the year
Thanksgiving and Christmas
But wherever a troop of United States
soldiers is stationed a commissary sergeant
has been planning a Thanksgiving dinner
for weeks past. Out OF his monthly ration
allowance he has figured a most elaborate
spread for this occasion. on next Thurs
day all the mess tables in all the companies
of the army will be spread with white
linen. which replaces the everyday oilcoth
on only a few occasions in the year. The
tables will be elaborately decorated with
flags and the quarters hung with bunting.
The men will give over their accustomed
tasks and a general holiday spirit will
pervade all the posts
These sergeants have been developed
through a system that has done wonders
toward increasing the efficiency OF the food
supplied in the army There is a cooks
and bakers school maintained at Fort
Riley and another al Washington Barracks
In these schools are trained the men who
are to prepare the food for the men in the
army. All that science knows about pre-
pairing food is taught these men. Likewise
are they taught all the possible economies
that lead to getting most out of the ration
II is probable that there is not better
trained corps of cooks and bakers in the
world than that OF the United States army
The commssary sergeant is the best OF
them all. the man selected because OF his
ability as manager and his disposition TO
mother the brood. He is the best loved
factor in the army.
But while the army Of the United states
is well provisioned, it gives precedence in
that respect 10 the navy. II is admitted

But by this means, for "A dozen years
wild gobblers to the number Of a score or
more have been annually obtained for that
most remarkable of all existing turkey

four thousand acres. located off the west

CoMMIssARY SERGEANT WORK

CoMMISSARY SERGEANT S WORK
Each man each day need not use up all
his ration allowance. The balance is left
10 his credit. and is cumulative. The COM
rnissary sergeant for each company has as
many of these rations as there are men in
his company. His monthly allowance would
multiply this daily ration by the number
~ days I'm the month. So at the begin
ming Of the month the commissary sergeant
figures out the sum total for his allow
arce for the month and its cash value
BE buys on this allowance whatever he
wants from the commissary store. The
rest OF the allowance he may spend for
food wherever he sees it. This arrange
ment opens the markets OF whatever COM
munity the company may be in 10 the com
missary sergeant. and the variety that he
may furnish his mess is limited only by the
variety that the market offers

Dinner-Roast Of veal mashed potatoes

supper-Loose hamburger. baked sweet

The secret OF this elaborate provisioning

is, In the first place. buying for large num-
bers Of men, and in the second place, the
absence Of any other expense than that
Of buying the ration itself Quarters uten-
