i record up to Dec. 81, and whether they
came into the army voluntarily or by
draft. a notation will be made in the
case of every individua al showing whether
he was drafted, enlisted in the national
army voluntarily, or was transferred
from the regular army or national
guard. This initial muster record will
be the foundation Of the permanent
war record of each man, and will be
kept up to date in each mans case as
long as he remains in the army.
Practice Goes Merrily On.
French and English officers are Civ
ing the officers daily practice in the
use Of gas masks and the theory of
gas attacks. The officers will later
impart this information to the men.
Preparations are being made for the
most intensive drilling of the men in
the use Of the improved Enfield rifles.
This is the last word in rifle development.
Major Smith Brookhart, Of Wash
ington, Iowa, former member Of the
National Guard and an authority on
the use of the rifle, will arrive from
Washington within few weeks and
will instruct the men in the use of
the guns that they are to carry. The
rifle range will be the most popular
place about the cantonment when Major
BroOkhart arrives.
Protecting the Health Of the Soldier
boys.
An order from the war department
makes it incumbent upon all who de-
sire the patronage Of the men to- place
everything in sanitary condition.
The following order has been posted:
Soldiers Of this camp will not patronize
any restaurant, hotel, booth for sale of
food, barber shop, manicure parlor, ice
cream parlor or soda fountain establish
ment unless the same shall have Ger
tifcate of inspection. This certificate
Of inspection will be issued by repre-
sentative of the U. S. Public Health
Service Tor by the Division Surgeon)
only upon compliance with the rules and
regulations governing sanitary inspection
issued by the United States Public
Health Service Cor by the Division Sur
geon) and shall be revocable at the dis
erection Of the issuing authority,
Bread Baking Great Science.
An inspection Of the big bakery
proves that Gen. Plummer has reason
for being proud of the place that turns
out the bread for the soldiers. Not a
f fly in fly time and not speck of dirt
| in dirt time is the motto Of the concern
and it looks the part. The men in
charge are known as the 331st Bak-
1ery company under command of Lieu
tenant j. F. Fogarty, part owner of
one Of the largest FIGURING mills in the
state and a practical miller himself.
All of the men in this company are
experienced bakers. They work in
three shifts and burn out 800 two
lpound loaves per hour. They are also
making a loaf of bread that weighs
| four and one-half pounds. It is no
larger than the two pound loaf but
contains much less water. It is the
kind that will be given men of the 88th
Division when ordered to active serv-
ice. It is practically solid flour and
4 is incased in heavy half inch crust
THAT keeps the interior fresh for two
/ weeks. At present the bakery COM
pany is experimenting with bureau
made largely from a mixture of white
/ flour and oatmeal. This has not yet
been worked into successful substi-
tute for the white bread, mainly be-
icause it is found difficult to work the
two together into well appearing loaves.
Letters From Soldiers Must Not Be
/ Published In Home Papers
Censorship is getting more rigid all
the time. It has been the custom
for parents OR friends who receive let
tiers from men at the environments to
hand them to the local newspaper for
publication. This practice must be
discontinued so the order from Wash
ington reads. Briefly the order is as
follows: All officers and enlisted men
will warn their correspondents not to
publish their letters. They will be
held responsible for such publication.
All officers and enlisted men will refrain
from discussing in public matters which
might, in any way, be of value to the
enemy. On their departure from camp
or environments in the United States
and en- route, all. officers and enlisted
J. men will refrain from giving any in
4 formation on the following subjects:
a Names, number or movement of troops
1 for duty abroad; names or number
Of ships, description of details or methods
Of avoiding enemy submarines; patrols
for protection of ships; ports Of en-
barkation. departure ,arrival, debarkation;
