HIGH COST OF ARMY FEEDING
Comparisons That Illustrate Germany's Bills for
Feeding Her Army.

The question of subsistence is a vital one to
an army, and many battles have been lost from
the failure of food supplies. The commissary de-
partment of armies in all civilized countries is
in the hands of men who are In reality dietetic
specialists on a large scale. The present war is
the supreme test for the q~uartermastef's depart
ment.
"Rations,' as the daily food supply Of the sol
diers is known, vary in each country according
to racial tests or climatic conditions. Thus the
meat ration of France is quite different from that
of Germany. For the purpose of comparison we
have taken the daily field ration Of the German
army, which is as follows:
Seven hundred and fifty grams of fresh bread,
or 500 grams of biscuit.
Three hundred and fifty grams of raw meat
(fresh or salted), or 200 grams of smoked beef,
pork, mutton, bacon or meat sausage.
One hundred and twenty-five grams of rice
(groats), or $50 grams of pulse or flour, or 1,50C
grams OF potatoes.
Twenty-Five grams of salt.
Twenty-Five grams of coffee (roasted). or &c
grams Of coffee (green), or 3 grams of tea and
II grams of sugar. f,
This supply for a week compared with the
huge mass of Cologne cathedral shows results
very surprising, for we have a loaf of bread
weighing 60,1aO,O0O pounds and 1913 feet
high, which bulks well alongside the lofty edi
fee. Meat is represented by a side Of bacon, but
in practice this might be varied by sausage
smoked beef, fresh beef, salt meat, or mutton
The bacon is 1870 feet long and would weigh 16,
100000 pounds. Potatoes are the heaviest item
weighing 1870, $3.50, 900 pounds. The bag would be
two feet less in length, while the sugar bag would
measure 3S feet high and would weigh 1866
pounds. Such amounts of food seem almost in
credible.-Scientifc American.

IF the new spring styles in gowns

there is every reason to congratulate
their creators. After a study of them
one might be pardoned for quoting

The street costumes are cleverly

Their tailoring is a thing of faultless

Materials r durable, old favorites
being to the fore in the smartest

introduction of outside pockets pro-
viding most of them. But it is in
amazing ~cleverness in cutting both
skirts and coats that this season has
distinguished itself above others.

is headed. At intervals of a minute OF more the
leadsman casts his lead, while every three or four
minutes the observers take observations until the
end of the course is reached, where a final set or
observations locate the end Of the line. The boat
then runs other lines in the same way until the
entire bottom of the surveyed area has been
sounded.
The leadline method Of sounding sufices to
record the lay Of the bottom with sufficient accu-
racy where there are no extraordinary Obstruc-
lions; but in regions like the coast of Maine
and that of Alaska, where there are many isolated
pinnacle rocks and lodges under water, or along
shores like those of Florida, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, where coral reefs abound and coral
heads fringe the coast, special Investigations have
to be made. The lead fine might be cast all
around a pinnable rock-might even strike 1t a
glancing blow-and still fail to discover it.
An instance of this kind occurred in Buzzards
bay, Massachusetts, in 1902, Although more than
$1,000 soundings had been made, more than 10000
angles observed and 1852 miles of sounding lines
run, a rock whose head was IS feet below the
surface was run upon by the cruiser Brooklyn
during the naval maneuvers of that year.
In order to discover such distractions in much
frequented waters a new instrument, the wire
drag, has been devised. 1t consists of a long wire,
sometimes more than a mile long, weighted down
at intervals with sinkers and supported at any
desired depth by surface buoys. Power boats are
hitched to it, usually one at each end and one
in the middle, and with these it is drawn around
a harbor much as a farmer drives his binder
around his field of standing wheat. If it strikes
no obstruction the photographers know that the
harbor bottom is clear to the depth of the drag
Another line of information the mariner must
have is about the movement Of currents, so that
his ship may not be carried around by currents
whose presence he does not suspect. Information
concerning them is gathered by means of current
rods, as a rule. A current rod is an instrument
made to float vertically beneath the water, will
only its tip showing above the surface, so tina
it is not disturbed by the wind. Its movement i
observed, and the observations give definite infor
nation concerning the currents.

over satin foundations. Bodices are
modestly high, and satin bindings are
used to finish the f1ounces and over

With all this fiufiness there is a lit
tie touch of the austere in the bodice

In the picture given here a street
suit of swell shepherds plaid IS

A strap at each side of the back is
finished with a simulated buttonhole
and set, with a lone button, to the
narrow, shaped belt which defines the
slightly high waist line. The cuffs
are odd, with the sleeve turned bach
from a band of velvet and fastened
down with a button. The front o.
the Jacket is almost straight, and Gu

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back

Forms Uric Acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the %overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like lump. of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

can make a mistake by taking a little

THE motor bonnet of silk continues
i to stand at the. head of the list as
the most practical of things designed
for the headwear of ~autoists. From
the standpoint Of comfort, service, low
cost, becomingness, and the ease with
which 1t can be made, the silk motor
bonnet has no rival possessing all of
its advantages.
There are, however, many bonnets
that combine the soft millinery braids,
like those Of hemp or silk fiber, with
silk in their construction, that are
Just as durable and becoming. By
means of the braid the element Of
novelty in design enters into their
composition, but they are less simple
to make than the silk bonnets. The
latter will not tax the ingenuity of
the home milliner at all.
Taffeta silk is the most satisfactory
weave to use. It's body gives the bon
net a chance to remain shapely; it
sheds the dust easily and it is made

Usually only about a yard of taffeta
and a small strip of crinoline are
needed, except when plaitings of the
silk are used for trimming. An extra
allowance must be made for this. Ma,

out In the finish and decoration of the

Several special kinds of hats appear
among the spring showings of motor
headwear, among them exquisite GRO
cheted hats of silk fiber braid, and
patent leather hats. The last are
wholly rainproof. But the crocheted
hats, and silk bonnets like those pic
tured here, are not much damaged by
rain. When the silk bonnet has
served its day it can be replaced for
so little money and is altogether so at
tractive that it is likely to remain a
favorite.
