 Beef Cents Pound.
 That Uncle Sam believes in the old saving that an "army marches on it's belly' and is taking good care to supply the gastron omical wants of the soldier boys who are participating in the hunt for Villa and his ban dits or who are engaged in protecting the border while their comrades are 1 in Mexico is evidenced from the de- scription of the camp menu given by Fred J. Dimes of this place, who is a member of the cavalry division now stationed at West Hachita, New Mex ico. waiting for orders to cross into Carranza territory. Young Dimes gives the impression that the high , cost of living isn't bothering the sol diers as Uncle Sam provides them ! with plenty of fresh meat and all the fxins required to make a meal fit for anyone.
 The government is paying but l seven cents a pound for fresh beef i and the soldiers who are ready to l fight for the nation are getting plenty l of rations
 Dimes writes many interesting fea- ! lures of the lives of the khaki clad cavalrymen, who are located at the i border.
