The commissary general has decided
that a saving of $4,000 a year to the
army treasury is far more greatly to
be desired than that his fighting men
should revel in the gastrOnomic de-
lights of this favorite dish Of the
south. Likewise, turkey is to be lin
tied to Thanksgiving and Christmas
menu cards, and other fowl placed
high up on the back shelf for all time.
The elimination of chicken from
the menu, the limitation of turkey TO
Christmas and Thanksgiving, the sub
stitution of field bread for hard tack
and the abolition of the field ration,
sum up the important changes in the
army ration for the American soldier
during the past year, according to the
report Of Commissary General Henry
G.. Sharpe

SCORE ONE FOR
HUMAN NATURE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, oct. 24-The
surrender twenty years ago of a berth
in a Pullman sleeper by Ernest w.
Marlowe, lawyer of New York city,
was rewarded today when the will of
Mrs. Helen Amelia Marsh, of Haden,
a suburb of this city, was filed in the
Probate Court here and it was found
that the deceased had left $4,000 to
the New York lawyer,
The acquaintanceship between Mrs.
Marsh and Marlowe began on the rail,
road journey to Washington, d. c.
which Mrs. Marsh was called on TO
make unexpectedly nearly a quarter
century ago Owing to the train
being crowded, Mrs, Marsh was unable
to secure a berth in the Pullman. Mar
lowe was then a youngster on his way

woman, VINO was then well along in

COAST QUARANTINE AGAINST FRUIT
FLY MAY Be MADE MORE RIGID

1t seems that Carnes was sent to
Hawaii to ascertain the possibility of
the fruit fly attacking the pineapple
or banana while green.
When Carnes returned. about two
weeks ago, he prepared a lengthy re
port in which he advised that Cali
fornia make an appropriation to assist
in the eradication of the pest in Homo
lulu. This and a deal of information
apropOs of the inroads of the pest upon
the resources of Hawaii was included,
but there was not even a whisper
anent a report upon the matter which
had caused the State to expend the
$500 needed to defray the expenses OF
the expedition.
Illustrated Times, October Is: E. X.
Carnes of the State insectary is on
his way to San Francisco, after hav-
ing spent over five weeks upon the
| Hawaiian Islands examining the con
ditions there relating to the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly. When he returns he
will report to the fruit growers of the
State the facts as he saw them, From
his letters # is believed the fly has
been located at Honolulu for many
years, but had not been noticed till
last October 1t is not damaging the
industries Of the islands from the fact
that with the exception of pineapples
and bananas the fruit enterprises cen
tering at Honolulu are Of no import

Mr. Carness information will prob.

to Rico, 2S.72 cents; aboard transports
1882 cents; American soldiers in the
Philippines, PASS cents, and the native
soldiers in the Philippines, 14,57 cents,
1t is interesting to note, the report
says, that out of a total of $l1,S6l-
9S4, spent during the year for sub
sistence, only four-ffths of one per
cent, or $69,9O6, is credited to losses
from such causes as ordinary vast

and property worn out.
The experimental farm conducted
by the subsistence department at
Camp Wears, Philippine Islands, for

in the Philippines has proved the un
feasibility of such a project. Although

One of the most interesting men
have ever met is the Chinese diplomat
we have aboard. He is a man of keen
intellect and the very embodiment of
the new China. He was one of the
High Commissioners sent from Picking
to study the French Constitution,
three more being sent to America.
These men drafted the new Chinese
Constitution, which gives China her
First Parliament. He is returning from
Mexico where he has been settling the
Torrent riots, where $50 Chinese were
massacred He is very proud of the
fact that he was the first Chinese to
order a warship to American waters,
the government having sent one from
England, where it was attending the
coronation, to Vera Cruz, to enforce
his authority when chaos reigned in
Mexico,
He was given quite a goodbye by

holland had been rowing about in
a comp" which is a combination
wherry and shell, all the afternoon.
When about a quarter of a mile from
the college boathouse his boat was
caught in a current and was overturn-

mer, he was seized with cramps as
soon as he struck the water. He
shouted for help and then sank for
the first time.
Rogers, who was working along the
river in a shell, heard the youths cry
for aid and Immediately rowed toward
where he had disappeared Nearer
and nearer he approached, and when
he saw that it would be impossible tc

Embellished with q twocolumn
photogravure of Mr.. Schaefer's avenue
of royal palms, the following article
is contributed by c. NJ Goethe to the
Sacramento Bee of October IA:
The roadway forestry of Honolulu,
as shown in the accompanying photo
graph, will give.an idea of some of the
ideals toward which our County For
estry Board is working, and which it,
will accomplish, in spite of so many
discouraging hindrancess
Royal palms along rcadways give
an effect which we of Superior Cali
fornia can nearly roproduce-the trop-
ical effect of a palm avenue. The first
,Arbor Day work in which Lester
Hinsdale gave unselishly so much
time, was the palm plating on the
Street road. Our Board hopes that in
it's 1928 planting this avenue will
be completed In twenty years more
it will be a show place.
'Cocoanut palm and banana effects
show growths which can be repro
duced almost anywhere with wonder
full success in California. In letter
from Glengariff, Ireland, last year we
wrote of a similar landscape scheme
produced with the native Irish trees,
bushes and plants along with few
eXotics. 1t is a plan which is being
used in one of the Bay subdivisions. 1t
consists of planting both sides of the
roadway with native trees, shrubs and
Towering plants, the kind that
through centuries of evolution have
proven themselves best adapted to the
soil and climate. If eXotics are en-
tirely excluded, one then has the won
derful charm of entirely native ef-
fects. We cling too much to the things
from other lands. Still we are deyel-
,oping slowly but surely California eff.
fects both in landscape work and in
architecture Our ideal in the Forestry
Board is to work patiently, persist
emily until every Northern California
county has every roadside developed
into a place of arboreal beauty. 1t is
slow work--it is often discouraging
and our results so far have been mea
ger. But for the l9O9-1O season we
have some elms growing on NJ Street
where the blank spaces will be filled
out. In conjunction with the Rancho
del Paso owners, the chain gang did
some good planting in the 1901 sea
sons, and each year we will accom-
plish more Besides, the publicity
mas been educational, and paintings
started in more than a dozen othe,
places. The planting along one of the
Honolulu car lines is very much lik'
that of the banana" picture. 1t il
