The Subsistence Department Is self
sustaining, although the Government
is not trying to make money off the
employees and all that it requires Is
money enough to keep UP the expenses
or the commissary, consequently the
buyer on tho Zone gets the benefit
of judicious purchases made by the
officers in this country, and pays cost
plus the expenses of operating the
department.
The greater part Of the pcr!shable
goods are procured and shipped from
either New York or New Orleans.
whichever proves at the time to be
the cheapest market The ships of
the Panama Railroad Steamship line
are equipped with cold storage facili-
ties and they are scheduled to arrive
at Cristobal once week. In addition

frigerator space arrives from New

one delivery is made each day and
this includes Ice as well as meat and
groceries. All goods are sold in ex-
change for coupons which are pro
cured by employees from their time
keepers or sold on invoices to the
Government and Panama Railroad.
At points where there is no commits
sary the goods may be ordered By
mail from the price list issued once
each month.
The whole Subsistence Department
is SO arranged that little trouble Is
experienced by the Canal employees
in their purchase Of food, for the
system OF barter is so simple that
even the most ignorant laborer can
understand its workings. Contracts
for groceries and staples are made
through the Commssary Purchasing
officers at New York, New Orleans
and San Francisco. All foodstuffs
are bought under guarantee that
they will keep in the Canal Zone for
a period OF three months. Any spoil

he takes up wigwagging and signal

he studies the art OF tracking animals

learns to care for his physical COM
fort, how not to waste his strength
but to preserve his energy, especially
in travelling. He must know how to

not be tolerated by the organization
whether the boy be rich or poor, SO
the Scout learns to save financially
as well as physically. Waste not.

The first-class Boy Scout Is a very
accomplished and useful young fell
low. He has played and worked to
this point. and now comes the real
education. He starts out and makes
a trip several miles through tho woods
and on his return writes a truthful
account Of what he saw and what he
did. He has already had some az.
perience at cooking, and now ne

what is more appetizins than these
simple cakes? He becomes an expert
swimmer, for he Ia required to swim
fifty yards at least. Then comes the
sending OF semaphore messages by
the same system rs Is used by the
sailors on our battleships. He draws
mans Of the country and can uso
them correctly when scouting through
the woods. he studies plants and
trees. how to climb the latter with
out injury either to himself or to the
trees. for conservation OF our forests
is one Of his aims. He learns to
travel at night by the North Star. He
knows something about electricity, the
use of the feld telephone and how to
set IL up. Should a comrade fan
into a stream he can resuscitate him
or should another Scout accidentally
break a leg he knows how to care
for the boy until a physician can be
Obtained. In short he is prepared to
do his duty to himself and to all
mankind and to be resourceful and
to depend upon himself.
All bows love camping and they
adore a log cabin, Somehow the log
cabin is SO intimately connected with
tho early history of our country that
thc boys feel that it must be a part
of their outdoor life even today. So
tho BOY Scout learns TO build the
c,h,n to cut the logs, and to actually
construct the building. He sets up

this has some times been found in

thing which must be paid for In ad-
vance and IL sold TO the Canal en-
ployess at forty cents per hundred
pounds.
The cold storage plant covers 1872
25o cubic feet. and in connection with
this several enterprises have devel-
oped such as the corning OF beef.
It was found that beef could be pur-
chased at a better advantage by car
cass rather than by the quarter. A
surplus of forequarters began to ac-
cumulate on account Of the demand
for the headquarters and converting
the left over forequarter into corned
beef prevents any waste and in this
way there was created a great de-
mand for picked or corned beef, and
the sales amount to about two thou
sand pounds daily. a cutting ma
chine for the preparation OF Ham
burger steak has also been installed.
