ENOUGH To EAT
At CAMP SHELBY
Col. Freyermuth Says Allow
anCe is More Than Suffi-
Cient at Present.
NeNs- Tlmes SpecinI Servicr

News Times special Service;
CAMP SHELBY, Hattiesburg,
Miss. Nov. 2O.-Lack of food won't
be an excuse for the Indiana ma
tional guardsmen in training here
failing 10 do their duty. according
TO Col. Freyermuth, Of the i57th
deld artillery.
In a letter Col. Freyermuth has
set forth food conditions at the
camp.
A soldiers allowance for rations
Is about 40 cents a day" he says.
and as rule this is more than
enough TO main soldier for one,
but there are times when this is
not quite enough, for the reason
that the market advances on food
stuff.
About six months ago a soldier
could subsist on about 30 cents a
day, while at present he needs ex-
actly SO cents a day. This is below
the government allotment, but the
government. expects money TO be
saved TO meet increases in prices.
The savings per battery the last
month averaged from 500 TO $500
This money is kept in the battery
found and used when necessary.
Conservation, Too.
That food conservation is being
practiced is the added statement OF
Col Freyermuth
1t is we'll known that the Amer
Jean soldier is fed better than sol
diers of any other army" he says
Statements have been made that
large armies can subsist from what
We waste, but this is not the case
here now. ] am pleased TO state
that we have this waste TO nearly
the minimum, and for this reason
We are able 10 make large savings"
Battery or company commanders
cannot purchase food in the open
market if il can be obtained from
the quartermaster, and this occa-
sions some loss, he says.
The general health of the soldiers
at Camp Shelby is excellent. and the
men are going through a rigorous
training. Within another few weeks
many reassignments will have been
made. so that each man will be put
in the place for which he is best
fitted.

STATE DRY LAW WILL
NOT BE NULLEO, MINTON

cWs-Times Special Service.
BLOC MINGTON, Ind. Nov. 60
In an address at the First Presby-
terrain church here r. c. Minton OF
Indianapolis. attorney for the In
diana Anti Saloon league. said that
because woman's suffrage had been
declared unconstitutional, many per-
sons over the state have been pre-
dieting that the statewide prohibit
ton law will be declared invalid by
the supreme court He said there
is no danger OF this because there
is no specific provision in the state
basic law prohibiting the legislature
from passing a prohibition bill, as
there was annulling suffrage.
Mr.. Minton gave Thomas Taggart
credit for aiding in the passage Of
the recent anti-liquor legislation in
this state. saying that in a sena-
torial caucus he advised members
OF his party 70 support the bill at
a time when the dry forces were
badly in need of a few votes Mr.
MintOn declared his confidence in
the house going on record for ma
tional prohibition when it con-
venes az Washington Dec. I. IF
We win that fight il seals the doom
of the liquor traffic in this country
