THE Staff branches reviewed in the
preceding lesson are the General
Staff Corps, Adjutant Generals
department, Inspector Generals depart
ment, Judge Advocate Generals de-
partmcnt, Engineer Corps, and Signal
Corps. The other three staff branches
which all directly touch every soldier
are the Medical Department, Quarter
mister Corps. and Ordnance depart
ment.
The Medical department works along
two distinct lines: First. it tries to
keep everyone in the army in good
health. and for this purpose keeps close
watch OF the cleanliness of camps and
buildings, OF the quality and cooking
Of food, and the like second, il, pro-
vides ambulanCcS. hospitals, and medi-
cal service for the proper care of sick
or wounded men. The Medical de-
partment includes the Dental Corps,
the Hospital Corps, and the Nurse
Corps. Its officers are experienced
physicians who have passed rigid ex-
amina,ionS. Its enlisted men are chief
~ engaged in the difficult and often
dangerous work OF rescuing the wound
ed and Transporting them to field and
base hospitals.
Just as every man in the army car
ries %intfcnching tools so that he may
protect himself without the help oi the
Engineer Corps when necessary, so he
also carries a "first-aid packet" 30
that he may in an emergency perform
some Of the duties OF the Medical de-
partment. Every soldier learns how 10
give dressing and treatment to his own
wounds when he is able 10 do so and
how to assist wounded comrades until
men from the Medical department ar
rive.
Medical Department Efficiency.
The Medical department OF the
American army is regarded as one of
the best in the world. A soldier may
feel assured he will receive every pos
slble attention in case of need. Inc
percentage OF recoveries from wounds
in the hospitals manned by Americans
during the European war has been ex-
ceptionally high.
The Quartcrma'ter Corps is the
business manager Of the army II
furnishes food, clothing, aud most kinds
of equipment provides horses and
mules auangcS for transportation ;
takes charge OF money buys supplies (;
pays troops and keeps on hand stores
OF supplies.
The importance Of all this work can
hardly he overstated, Napoleon said

Kathlyn Williams and Theodore

Lasalle drama, The Cost Of
Hatred" This is a story that is far
reaching in its appeal tense. enter
tanning and strongly dramatic. There
is no delay or tiresome waits, but
the action plunges, right from the
very first, into the depth Of the story
and then carries the audience
through a number of exciting and
dramatic situations until the final
reel. The story revolves about the
extreme hatred OF man for the
entire family OF the man who ruined
his home. How he allows his re-
vengefulness full play upon the life
of the young son OF his enemy es-
tablishes a pathOs which will have
an effect upon the spectator. The
scenes are laid in Mexico and have
been realistically presented. Mr..
Roberts as the revengeful man plays
his character with perfection that
always accompanies the acting of
this sterling actor. while Miss Will
liams likewise offers a role that is
pleasing and convincing in every

For that small portion OF the pub

Sweetheart Of the Doomed. the
Lasalle fve-part picture for today
is a story Of a war vampire who is
transformed into a good angel of a
war hospital somewhere in France
The hero who effects this change IS

the combination of vampire and dis

whatever army the man is servinS.

wholly beneficial both 10 the YAM

in the young soldier the first honest
love OF her life. she follows him to
the front and devotes herself 10 the
solace of the dying and wounded
men. Louis Glaum IS the attract

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. January 27.-wheat prices
collapsed today under heavy selling
due to rumors that peace was in sight.
After an extreme break of rs the mar
ket reacted, but closed weak, III to 6
net lower, with May at 1.75k to 1.751k,
and July at 1.47x to LATE. Corn fin
ished y to 1ka1x down. and oats of
!; y to ,eu *. Provisions scored gains of 5
Notwithstanding that peace talk ap-
peared to have only the fiimsiest of
backing in the way of specific new de-
velopments. the wheat market plunged
swiftly downward as soon as trading
opened. Rallies which ensued were
quickly followed by a much greater
descent than at first. and 1t was not
until the last hour of the session that
the furry was in a measure overcome
by week end evening up of business.
About the most definite ground ad-
vanced for the selling stampede was a
London story purporting to give terms
on which Germany was prepared to ne
gotiate. In general way. the peace
grad advices. which seemed to indicate
that peace without victory was not
wholly disfavored in Russia.
Bearish sentiment was notably in
creased by the striking absence of fresh
export demand for wheat, and by asser-
tons that railway congestion was again
as bad as ever. Considerable atten-
ton was also given to gossip that Win
HlpeS Interests were among the heaV-
lest sellers both here and at Mime
apolis.
Corn yielded grudgingly to the infiu-
ence Of wheat weakness. One of the
reasons was that 100000 bushels Of
corn had been taken for export since
late yesterday. Besides. country Of
ferings remained light and Argentine
news buIlish.
Oats followed the down turn of other
grain. Seaboard demand proved slow.
In provisions the chief factor was
strength Of hog prices. Peace talk was
likewise deterrent against selling.
