CAMP SHERMAN, CHILLICOTHE,
o., Oct. 19-The company roll call is
being gradually abandoned at Camp
Sherman. The task is too big and it
takes too much time for the first SER
geant to line up $50 men and have
each one answer to his name, espec-
tally when the names are foreign and
long.
Instead of the old plan, when com
panies at war strength had but $50
men, the squad and platoon leaders
report on their own section of each

seven scrgeants to platoon and four
platoons to a company. Each sergeant
has eight men under him and he re-
ports to his platoon commander, the
lieutenant, that all his squad mem.
bers are present. Each of the four
platoon leaders then report to the com
pany captain.

hides the hand. -.
These sleeves should be fastened
with very small pressure buttons or
tiny hooks and eyes on the under seam.
In no other way can they be made to
preserve their skin-tight outline.

The square necked blouse or bodice
Is pretty fashion rendered doubly SO
in it's modern development, for the
square is either deep enough to allow
of the whole thing slipping over the
head (cotta-fa shion) or else is pro-
vided with a clipped fastening just at
the neck on the shoulder to permit of
this easy means of entrance. A par

now in vogue.

TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET
British City Shows How Profit Can

$ Through installation Of modern sew

many cities of this country are secur-

adopted by an English city in creating
an asset out Of a waste efluent diff

able by-product.
This grease by-product is said to be
of value in the leather-dressing trade
and to some extent in branches of the
textile industry.
The sales of the recovered grease
by the sewage works Of the city OF
Bradford were reported to amount tc
$3.50, 800 in 1916 at the present high
price of $122 top, and it is estimated
that for this year over $34o, 900 will be
/realized from this source, in addition
to nearly $4,000 derived from the sale
of manure or fertilizer made from the
sludge left after the extraction of the
grease. Because of the development
of this by-product it is thought the
Bradford sewage work will be self
supporting in 1917.

At a Fire Who Is a Neighbor?
darlington Free Press

The good people of Bratleboro, ac,
cordng to correspondent, are just now
actively discussing the question whether
that village, which supports a we'll
equipped fire department, should fur
nish men and apparatus for the purpose
Of fighting fire in West Brattleboro, Z
part of the town, but outside Of the
IRE limits of the village.
Burlington might have discussed this
question in relation to fires III adjoin
ing communities, but as a matter OF
fact we have formed the habit OF send
ing our apparatus TO nearby towns
whenever call for help has reached us.
WillistOn, Winooski, South Burlington
and other communities have received
this evidence Of our neighborliness, and
will probably continue to receive the
same.
1t seems that in Brattleboro the ques-
tion Of extending aid is not so pointed
as 4 disposition on the part Of other
centors of population in the town of
Brattleboro to rely upon the village fire
department. while objecting to bear any
part Of the cost Of fighting fire any
where in the town. In behalf of the
village of Brattleboro the argument Is
advanced that If West Brattleboro
wants. fire .pEotcetioR that sub-village
should share in the expense Of paving

spent by the Brattleboro fremen IN

THE S TORA GE EGG
: Howard liam

The storage egg Is pathetic ex-
ample Of the awful havoc man can
wreak when his wreaker is in good
working order
Ever since this country was settled
by the white man at the expense of his
red brother eggs have been considered
as necessary to human happiness as a
wife who can look at her husband and
remain satisfied with the status quo.
IN the old days no home was thought
to be complete without few hens play
ing about the yard and producing fresh
eggs i'll an intelligent and painstaking
fashion. But as people became better
acquainted with the hen and her in
satiable appetite for garden truck, She
fell in popularity faster than a hired
girl falling through a laundry chute
As a result of this personal disrc-
speet TO the hen the only egg which is
now obtainable is the one which was
laid III the fall OF 1914 and has been
slowed away for the use of generations

vet unborn. This is the popular cold
storage egg, which when new did not
cost to exceed l. cents a dozen, but
now makes the ordinary angel s food
cake more expensive than forgetting to
turn off the bathtub faucet
The storage egg is owned and con
trolled by few far-secing citizens who
buy all Of the eggs which are not in
Immediate use, and then wait for the
market price to hit the attic ceiling.
BY the time winter has set III and the
domestic hen has ceased from her
labors, the law of supply and demand
begins TO operate and produce divi
dends, There is nothing that earns
dividends like the storage egg unless
it is the untimely death Of private
bank.
The surest way to defeat the sinister
effect Of the storage egg is to install
an incubator in the front parlor in
place OF the piano. Music in the home
IS a good thing, but j should never be
allowed to interfere with the appetite.
