A few weeks ago the quartermaster

Now, the Observation-Disclosures old

As a matter of fact NJ. Panchard,

in order to gain sufficient knowledge
of army cookery to instruct National

noon meal which Uncle Sam dishes up
for his boys. The price of this meal
is so cents; and it is the highest COM

EmbaImed Beef No More.
In fact, the day of Civil war hard

Uncle Sam has become q domestic

tritive values and a psychologist who
realizes that the stomach's digestive
juices will not respond unless the
palate telegraphs its approval to the
brain.

Credit to Old Sergeant.
In fact, large majority of the good
and fine points in Uncle Sans daily
menu for his Sammies is due to an old
commissary sergeant of Fort Riley.
His name was Dunno, and he was one
of those "born to the griddle," who
has the same advantage over the orfli-
nary aspirant to kitchen honors that
Kubelik had from birth over the little
girl next door.
He was not a man of education in
the ordinary acceptance of the word,
but he was a frst-class army cook
On scraps of wrapping paper or old
bills he kept copy of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by
Colonel Holbrook, then in command at
Fort Riley, and published in a little
book called Methods of Handling
Army Rations" which has developed
into the Manual for Army Cooks the
