London.-There isn't anything he

full Of cooks upon whose breasts dan

The cooks job is to feed the men

pany Is followed or preceded by a field
kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the
fires are kept going while the de-
vice trundles along. The cook stands
on the footboard and thumps his
bread. He Is always the first man up
in the morning. and the last to sleep
at night. He is held to the ~strictest
accountability. The Teuton believes
in plenty Of food. A well-fed soldier
will fight. A hungry n may not.

When the company goes into the
trenches the coox stays behind. There
is no place for a field kitchen In a
four.foot trench. But those men. In
the trench must be fed. The Teutou
insists that all soldiers must be fed
but especially the men In the trench
The others may go hungry. but these

;ag a trench, 1t most probably is. No
matter. His men are in that trench

rustling irewood to pick up the cooks
yoke and refill the spilled buckets
and tramp steadily forward to the line.
Sometimes the supply Of assistant
cooks, even, runs short. But the men
in the trenches always get their food.
That's why so many cooks In the Ger

treating the saloon business like any
other. The best answer to this is that
he business is not like any other bust
ness. and that the actions Of the sa-
loonkeepers themselves c~onclusively
prove this to be the case. It tends
TO produce criminality in the popula.
