was of serious concern to the Indian.
After two or three clashes between the
factions they were placed in different
parts of the hospital
An Anglo-Indian writing in the Lon
don Times on the camp life and caste
peculiarities of Great Britain'S trans
planted Indian troops furnishes live
ly and entertaining narrative. After
describing the strange picture made by
a column Of Punjabi Mussulmans as
they drove before them in French
boulevard a flock of sheep and bearded
goats and relating incidents of the in
tense admiration the French people
have for these oriental allies the
writer takes up the peculiar problem
the commissariat has to meet in sup
plying the various castles and sects Of
the Indian army with meat food
'Of the composition Of the camp
must say nothing" he writes. ''but the
mere creeds and castles from which the
Indian eXpeditionary force is drawn
will suggest to any one who knows the
east the most complicated problem of
cOmmisSariat. The Gurkha. the Rajput
and other Hindus will eat goat or NUT
ed in a special and orthodox way The
disgust which the strict Hindu feels at
physical contact with beef is SO in
tense that he will sometimes vomit at
the sight of it. The prejudice is SO in
veterate that MohammedanS who are
the descendants of Hindu converts
cannot reconcile themselves to the
taste. Happily pork, the Moslem abom-
nation. does not complicate the ques-
tion of army rations.
But the crux is not so much the ma
ture of the meat to be provided as the
manner in which it is killed and cook
ed. In the case Of sheep the Sikh vii
layers gorge will rise when he sees
meat prepared by the Mohammedan
butcher. who kills by the halal or
throat cutting stroke. just as the Mo-
hammedan feels it an outrage that
meat should be hung up for sale that
has been killed by the jatka-the
stroke at the back of the neck affected
by the Sikhs. In France now GER
tain amount of timed mutton is eaten
willingly by the troops. but the great
bulk of commissariat meat must be
sent alive to railhead and slain there
in accordance with prescribed rites.
"That the men may know whether
they are eating clean or unclean flesh
units are detached to point near rail-
head, where each man. to be Moham-
medan. Sikh or Hindu. dispatches his
beast by his own peculiar sacrificial
stroke. marks it as clean and sends it
on to his comrades in the trenches.

Without cold storage those two eggs
for your Christmas breakfast you'd
cost as much as you will pay for q
