Workmen at the camp say they
are better fed at Custer than in any

to be disposed Of. Probably realizing
a sentiment which would preclude
many men from sending them home,
a New York nrm has asked the
privilege OF sending representatives
to the different cantonments to buy
them SO far as Camp Custer is con-
cerned their request was turned down.
One reason given by the medical
department for the small number Of
reflections OF the first unit OF selected
men on physical examination is that
only high type OF men were selected
and that having lived clean lives they
are fitted to be soldiers.

her soldiers as healthy and wholesome
as when they left their homes.
Frederick II. Holt OF Detroit told
the Camp Custer boys thisat the first

Mr., Holt spoke from a wide exper

with conditions in Europe.
Mr. Holt told briefly of the danger
OF soldier life. declaring that one third
OF the losses OF the countries now al

contracted by the soldiers while in
training camps And he told OF the
effort this country is making now to
avoid this evil.
Wherever you go. don't forget that
besides being soldiers you are also
citizens In the great republic and so

Hiahes, Coal Price Should Be ss.es.

The highest price established for
anthracite coal by the president rs
$3.50 ton for stove.
The rail rate from the mines to De-
troit is sl.25.
These figures are given out by tn
state railroad commission to give the
people OF Michigan some inkling of
what they ought to pay for coal this
year.
The highest price permitted the
mines for bituminous Is 81 90 from
eastern fields. This Is for Ohio pre-
pared" The rate to Detroit is $l3e.
For the Indiana and Illinois bitumin-
GUS the highest price fixed Is $265
for Illinois third vein. The rate -
Detroit OH this is $2.05.
In each classification these are the
highest prices and the highest RAFT
road rate, thus giving what should he
the maximum In prices to the retail
dealer. A federal report, based on
Ann Arbor prices, says 81 a ton should
cover both profit and overhead, such
as haulage and storage.
The government has allowed 30
cents ton to the jobber, which
should be added to these figures.
On this rough estimate, the maxi.
mum price 10 the consumer should be
1866 for anthracite. For bituminous
from eastern fields II should be $3.50.
and for bituminous from Indiana and
illinois, 1915.

Do not let the squash freeze.
Gladioli may be stored under the
same conditions as potatoes.
If onions are frozen for storage
they should be kept frozen till time

for the beauty of their effect in late
spring. Some varieties may also be
forced in the house.
Have you made any provision for
the birds this winter They should
have grain and seeds after snow

Cover the strawberry bed lightly
with straw as soon as the ground
freezes. When it is frozen solid put
on four or five inches Of clean straw
or light hay.
Where il is not desirable to plant
