4 few weeks ago the quarteI1naster generals
department faithful to its complicated task Of
supplying everything from shoes to sugar to
rapidly forming army of more than one million
men, telegraphed appeal to So leading hotel
proprietors throughout the country asking the
loan Of 8 $40 chefs and expert cooks to teach the
new cantonments.
Now the Drowned in the oven old mess SER
geants OF regular army cooking schools-of
which four have fourshed for many years-are
willing and anxious to sit at the feet OF the capa'
Bile wizards who have fed Fifth avenue and Tre-

issue of 1916 that they pause refectively In their
scientifically arranged pantries and allow-quite
unoficially-that maybe few of those fancy
chefs will go back to their hotels with one or
two choice recipes well worth trying on the ia
vored fellow who always gets by the plush rope
and calls the head waiter by his first name
As a matter of fact, NJ. Panchard, famous chef
of the Hotel McAlpin, New York, was lent
while back in order to gain sufficient knowledge
Of army cookery to instruct National Guard kitch-
ems in various New York armories. Panchard
spent two days at Washington barracks, where he
studied the cuisine for enlisted men; he went
back New York with his observations, together
with a copy Of the months menu.
The day of Civil war hardtack and Spanish war
embalmed beef Is "long gone" Emergency ra-
tons of course the soldier must carry to tide him
over bad situations where the enemy fire Is hotter
than the bake ovens behind the line. But for
feeding his armies in barrack and trench, Uncle
Sam has become a domestic scientist who thinks
in terms OF nutritive values and psychologist
who realizes that the stomach's digestive juices
will not respond unless the palate telegraphs its
approval to the brain.

As matter Of history. the present volume OF

men adorned with uniforms and backed by gen.

in the instructive inimitable methods OF Aunt
Diana, who concocted her champion waff1es BY

In fact, a large majority Of the good and hne
points in Uncle Sans daily menu for his Sammies
is due to old commssary sergeant Of Fort
Riley His name was Dunno. and he was one OF

lied Buy-a-bale-of-cotton" campaign which
abled the cotton producers to tide their industry
over the financial doldrums which resulted from
the chaos Of The manner in which cotton
rebounded from this low mark makes it of the
huskiest war brides in America, with the possible
exception of the munitions and allied industries.
When cotton had reached IS cents last year
there were certain optmists who were predicting
25-cent cotton and they did not have to wait long
for that miracle to come to pass. When King
Cotton passed the 27-cent mark recently 1t marked
the highest level of prices since the days imme-
dately following the close OF the Civil war. when
Southern planters were able to obtain almost any
price they asked for their cotton.
1t Is believed that this prosperity will continue

There is n legend to the effect that there are
several amusing musical diatribes against the
army food. but questioning of officers and men at
the Washington Barracks school does not reveal
them. One sergeant-one of the three "noncoms'
in line for their commissions-said that when the
food bad the men got the growF" and
wouldn't sing at ALL and when 1t was good they

lunch or supper ready when the order comes to
