At ELEVEN Cents A DAY UNITED STATES ARMY
COOKS FEED ENLISTED men WELL
Experts of Washington Barracks Fear No Copetue Feats
With Housepues SaUory Dishes Prepared. Know
251 Receipts, All Worked Out in Practice.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Cooks at the
Washington barracks army school for
cooks and bakers insist that they have
gone some distance in solving the
problem of the cost of living. They are
furnishing three meals a day for big
men of healthy appetites at IL cents
per day per man, or less than 4 cents
per meal.
1t is to be admitted that this low cost
is produced in part by the quantities of
beans, rice, cabbage and other low
priced foods which are found frequent
ly on the menus, but even so, the army
cooks are ready to challenge house
wives to a competition on cost.
Undergo Long Course of Training
Moreover, they are not efarful of 4
comparative test of efficiency in cook
ing.
Men who learn to be cooks for the
United States army go through a con-
siderable course of training. They are
sent to one of the three army schools,
of which one is here, one at Fort Riley,
Kans., and the third at the Preside, IN

San Francisco.
For a month the recruit is fourth
class cook, and does little but peel po-
tatoes and watch his superiors in the
culinary line. Then he is advanced 10
the third elias, and given little more
to do in the preparation of a meal.
The third month as cook of the Sec
ond class he is put directly under the
man who prepares the meal. The
fourth month he is regular cook, and
himself supervises and prepares a
meal. If he has progressed thus far he
will be a cook the rest of his term of
service.
The army cooking lessons include
much preparation in variety of menus,
and when a student is through the
course HE is able to prepare offhand 80
different breakfasts, dinners and sup
pers. The army school of cookery
knows of 251 receipts, and knows them
by practice. They were not gained
from cookbooks, but have been care
fully worked out by the army cooks
themselves.

Ponchatoula, La, Nov. ga painful
though not fatal accident occurred here
yesterday afternoon, and but for the
timely arrival of a blacksmith more
serious results would have followed.
Lee Lanier, proprietor of the Queen
City Restaurant was the victim. He had
just opened barrel of extra large BIZ
valves shipped him from New Orleans
and was in the act of placing several Of
the oysters on a counter when one
large bull oyster with vicious nature
grabbed his leg. Lanier gave Co.
manche yell and soon large crowd
had congregated.
1t was evident that the restaurant
man was suffering intense pain, an!
after calling in a couple of physicians,
Phillips, the blacksmith, was sent for.
He brought along a crowbar and other
surgical implements. Immediately a
number of men were endeavoring to
extract the endangered leg of Lanier
from the growing bivalve. The work
had to be done very carefully as no

VICIOUS OYSTER BITES Man On
LEG; CROW BAR Prizes IT LOOSE

/ less than three pounds of Lanier s
favorite leg was covered by the jaws of
the vicious brute.
CrOwbar Prizes Oyster Loose
Phillips placed the crowbar gently
between the jaws, and with three men
on the handles Lanier's leg was safely
released.
The oyster was the largest even seen
here. 1t weighed about twenty-siv
pounds. The shells are large enough
to make couple of canoes. Lanier'c
children plan to use them as boats
when they go fishing on the Tangipa-
hoa river. The oyster, after being fried
was large enough to make four hungry
men a square meal Hundreds of PEI
sons focked to the restaurant to see
the monster and to view Lanier's leg.
The doctors say that he should recover
from his injuries within three months
unless blood poison sets in.- Lanier is
thinking of bringing suit against the
New Orleans oyster dealer who shipped
! him the barrel.

Ipenologists are opposed to giving re-
wards or special privileges for the VIC.
lation Of prison rules.
1.-THE argument Of Dean Evans that
it is illegal to lock Haley in his cell as
punishment is not In point because
that Is not being done. 1t should be
said in behalf Of Dean Evans that he
does not profess to speak from personal
knowledge nor Of an established fact.
His positive and ugly charges of tor
ture and official wrong doing are based
upon the impersonal, indefinite and ir-
responsible 1t is alleged and 1T IS
further said
Haley Said to Be Ready to Obey.
In conclusion the board of control
would say that the modern way of
treating such cases is to place the pris-
oners in reflection chambers Of good
size and we'll ventilated, with light from
a window near the ceiling, and compel
them to perform certain tasks before
they are given food. but there is no
place in the prison where such treat
ment can be given. A request by the
board for an appropriation for new
solitary cells made several years ago
was denied.
IF the necessary appropriation for
completing the new cell house and cells
Is made by the general assembly now in
session, the new cells will be completed
and in use by the end of this year. And
when that is done modern and roomy
cells will be provided for 400 prisoners.
Until that time the old cells must be
used. 1t can be said. however. that al
tho small and lacking in modern sanf-
tary appliances they were not unhealth-
full. This is shown by the medical
records"
From another source It is learned
that a few days ago Haley limited to an
attendant that he thought it about time
for him to call off his game and get to
work, as he had about given up hope of
the legislature sending committee to
visit him. 1t is believed that just as
soon as the legislature adjourns he
will ask to be assigned &c work like
the others.

Breaking down thousands of large
branches and even large trees, tang

and power line wires. the snow has
caused a condition of havoc turnout
the city that gives the impression OF
an aftermath of a serious wind storm.
With the abandonment of all street
car service yesterday thousands Of
Sioux Cityans were compelled to pillow
thru the deep snow to reach their
places of business and employment.
Looking north from the business dis
trict of the city. thru the haze of the

pedestrians traversing the center Of
the street, the impression created was
that of a party of hardy Adventures

In addition to the generally para

danger from collapsing roofs from the
accumulated weight Of wet snow. The
menace applies to slant roofs as we'll

On account of the danger presented

elements of annoyance and business
