CAMP LEWIS. American Lake,
Sept. 22.-Eat.
That's the best thing the soldiers
to-be in training here do. They es-
Innate the time of day by mealtimes,
breakfast, dinner and supper are the
three big events about which center
such little things as drills, work and
study.
After a few hours vigorous drilling
in the crisp air of Puget Sound the
men are willing to eat anything. The
dinner call creates a near panic, and
the tables are soon cleaned.
Satisfying this great continuous hun
ger is one of the principal problems
of the camp. one company does
nothing but bake bread-thousands %
loaves day. Each company of ap-
proximately $50 men has its own
cook, assistant cook and group of prl
Yates who are detailed to kitchen po-
lice. And, these men work. It's
Uncle Sans policy to feed his loyal
nephews with plenty of good, whole
some food.
The men get cake and pies on sun
day. but the rest of the week the
menu consists of bread, potatoes.
meat, fish. mush and other plain, but
wholesome foods. A typical break
fast, for instance, consists of bread
coffee, mush and hash with brown
gravy. The men also have an allow
ance of butter and cream.
The baking of one cake at Camp
Lewis is a man-sized job. Six DOZEN
eggs, 10 pounds of sugar, three cans
of baking powder, 80 pounds of flour
and the proper seasoning are mixed
up and baked in pan which Is sew
eral feet long and one foot deep.
Although the soldiers find army di-
ct healthy and satisfying, they always
appreciate cake, fruit and chicken
from home.
Men in training here gathered un-
der the selective service act. are
better class of men than ordinarily
secured by the volunteer system.
spirit is excellent. They are eager to
learn, and there is an unusually
strong demand for manuals of arms
This is the summarized opinion of
practically exery experienced army
man in camp.
Eugene e. Malfait, an American by
residence, a Belgian at heart, is anx-
iously awaiting the day when he will
be started on to France. He wants
to avenge the murder of his kinfolks
by Germans. He had GO relatives in
Belgium before the war startew. He
has been made postmaster, although
a member of hospital unit.

and happy that he could give his moth
err something that she wanted very
much and could not otherwise have.
One evening at supper time there
was a guest at his home who was tell
ing about liberty bonds and how ne
cessary it Was that everybody should
help the government in this great war.
George said he would take a $50 bond
and would pay the bank SO much each
month until it was all paid for.
HEARS OF NEW PLAN.
A few days ago George heard about
Uncle Sans new plan which was
worked out chiefly to make 1t possible
for boys Ike himself. and grown up
people with small savings to help their
government and help themselves at
the same time. Very promptly he in
vited his father to go with him to the
office of the headquarters for the state
of Idaho SO that they could find out
exactly what the plan was. and decide
whether it was a good one or not. You
see this plan for thrift stamps and war
saving certificates had not been ex-
planned to all the children in the
schools as it will be soon, and also
many times until every child under
stands all about 1t. George and his
father had the plan explained to them
thoroughly and both said that they
thought 1t a fine one.
A man representing the government
in the state headquarters office was,
as you can guess greatly relieved and
comforted when he learned that
George and his father approved Of the
plan. OF course, that is partly joke,
but really he was thoroughly pleased
| when George said he had a little less
| than $50 which he could invest and he
decided that he would buy 10 war saw
| ings stamps, which would cost him
$41.20, and paste them all on a wal
saving certificate which has 20 seats
upon which 20 stamps may sit down
His whole certificate would then be
half full and then he would fill Il
| completely as fast as he could this
next year. Then he would have a rel
investment of 500, just the safest kline
| of an investment that any business
man could make which would be grow.
ing while he waited. and at the same
| time he would be lending to his gov.
eminent to help fight this great war
The moral Of this story, you know
that many stories have morals, al
though sometimes they are very tire
| some, Is this: That there is no child
in the state of Idaho who cannot star
to save and to help the government
and this new plan of thrift stamps ant
savings certificates is just the bes
plan that was ever worked out to max,
it easy. If you do not know all abou
the plan, ask your friend the POSTWAR
! or yOur ma rents or your school tea cher
Any of them will gladly tell you ant
will be glad to help you plan what yo'
can do. Perhaps all boys of his ag
cannot be as successful as George, jus
as we grown ups cannot be as rich a
} Rockefeller. but we can all do our par
J and we mean to do 1t.
