Theoretically, an army hospital is a
place to which you send broken down
men to have them fixed up much the
same way that an officer sends his
horse to the company farrier to have
it shod. That is, it works that way
theoretically. But human nature
overcomes theory, now and again. /

afternoon when she was sitting sew

MANY and many a German | have
nursed in France" she said. 'They
| always used to be so frightened at
first; no matter how they suffered
they seemed to be afraid to com
plain or to even tell of it. We used
to try to win them over by extra
care and kindness. Our orders were
to treat them just as we treated our
own British Tommies. Some of them
were very young, and after they got
acquainted and saw the British were
going to be kind to them, they were
the happiest patients we had. Some
times they used TO laugh at the high
| school German | learned in Toron-
| to.
"But the Tommies We're just as
Kind to them as we We're. OF course
| the German patients were always
under guard. There was always n
Tommy with a rifle in the tent One
young German in my ward had lost
the lower part of his jaw and al

| wasn't in the tent when his soup
came in and when l did get in the
| British Tommy who was on guard
was holding up the German boy with
one arm and feeding him his soup
| with the other. His rifle lay on the
floor. The Tommy didn't see me
come in. Another German patient
beckoned me to come to him and
when l did, he pointed over to the
Tommy and said look at that There
were tears in his eyes and | guess
they came to mine, too. For that
one little minute, the war looked sill

The Effect Of War on Drugs.

The United States department OF
agriculture is taking particular In
terest in the question of the importa-
ton and local production of drugs.
Due to the European war, the importa-
ton of many drugs has been largely
handicapped with the effect that these
drugs have risen in price to such an
extent as to materially affect the re-
tail market.
The department Of agriculture
seems inclined to encourage local pro.
duction of many drugs which hereto.
fore have been entirely imported. AT
the same time the department calls
attention to the fact that there is only
limited demand at the best for many
of these drugs and that any extensive
development of the drug raising in,
dustry would be detrimental, since the
American market is not large enough
to take care of large production.
Of particular interest to food deal
ers is the question of raising red pep
per in this country. There is always
good market for red pepper and
this is one of the imported articles
that can be easily replaced by produc-
ton in this country.
In relation to dye-stuffs, the Ameri-
can industry in these commodities
should certainly be encouraged. 1t is
much to be regretted that our textile
manufacturers are greatly handicapped
because Of their inability to secure
dye-stuffs, which heretofore have
largely come from foreign countries
Surely, this is an example which
should prove profitable to Americans
1t should be the object of the govern
ment to encourage local production
not only of dye-stuffs, but of all other
articles largely used in this country
and which heretofore have been al
most exclusively imported.
Doubtless the lesson of the great
European war will be of much benefit
to America in this respect. With the
increased home production of com
modities of this nature it will be III
cumbent upon the government t.
place tariff protection upon home
grown merchandise.
| We doubt If another war or any
other influence in the future will fine
America unprepared as this war hat
found it in relation to the production
! Of raw materials necessary in Ameri
! can manufacture.-Exch

titles Enumerated Below as Being
Amply Sufficient to Supply
One Hundred Guests.

When arranging special dinner
or supper, such as church societies
often give, 1t is as important to avoid
having a large amount of food and
drink left over as it is to provide
enough. One thing to be borne in
mind is that an item which is part
of full menu will be served in small
er portions than when it is part of a
limited number of dishes.
The following are the quantities of
materials which famous chef recon-
mends as sufficient for 100 guests:
Three and one-half pounds of
coffee.
Six gallons Of cocoa made from
three gallons each of milk and wa
ter and one pound of cocoa.
Four pounds of loaf sugar.
Five gallons of oysters.
Two hundred and sixty sandwiches,
made from 16 loaves OF bread and
four pounds of butter.
Thirty pounds of ham, to boil
and slice.
Ten medium-sized cabbages for
cold-slaw.
Twenty pies.
Five loaf cakes and five layer
cakes.
Eighteen quarts of ice cream.
Ten four-pound chickens and 80
heads of celery for salad.
Five chickens and five tongues for
sandwiches
Five quarts of dressing for salads.
