WHAT SOLDIERS EAT
Most Companies Save $500 Month of
Allowance and Buy Luxuries.

Camp Funston, Nov. 21.-The men
at Camp Funston are intensely inter-
ested in food conservation, according
to a statement by Capt. F. 7. Windle,
head of the subsistence department of
the camp quartermaster'S office The
men are allowed a regular government
ration, which is fixed by expert die
ticians. According to figures of the
quartermasters office, the men were
fed for 1854 cents day during the
month of october. This month the
ration will be 1898 cents a day.
Funston has its meatless and
wheatless days. said Captain Windle.
The boys don't waste very much.
There is hardly a company in camp
that does not save from $500 to $500
"a month on its ration allowance. This
is paid them by the quartermaster at
the end of the month and is used in
the company's mess fund to buy
articles such as fresh fruit. chicken,
ice cream and cake, that are not issued
by the quartermaster. Just now the
boys are eating lots of vegetables, be-
cause vegetables are plentiful and ex-
tremely healthy"

GUNNERS TRAIN IN BRITAIN
English Troops Teach United States
Coast Artillcrymcn.

Somewhere in England - Several
thousand American artillerymen, who
soon will be handling heavy guns in
France, are encamped here for drills
and training, after several weeks
board ship on the journey over seas.
The men belong to the regular forces
of the United States army and are Of
ficered largely by West Point gradu-
ates. British officers who have in
spected the men pronounced them to
be among the finest troops ever seen
in England.
The camp is located in one of the
many valleys to be found in the roll
ing surface of this section of Eng
land, on a site once occupied by Cana
dian troops. Heather covered hills
form background for the sea of
tents and on either side men of the
royal artillery are being trained.
Troops Used to Big Guns.
1t Is from these camps that the
Americans get their first lessons in
handling the "heavies on wheels" by
simply looking on.
Those Americans know all about big
guns, for a large number Of them are
from the coast artillery of the Amer
lean army. But they have much to
learn about big guns that are mo-
bile. The particular thing they are
interested in just now is the fine art
! of hauling a heavy field piece out Of
, a hole-for the successful and speedy
accomplishment Of such a feat is
truly a fine art.
The English instructors of artillery
recruits have deep hole.dug for the
special purpose. They wheel q big gun
| and its carriage up and push it in.
Then 1t Is up to the recruits to haul
1t out with the assistance of n variety
| of levers and a mass of tackle and
gear. Sometimes the student artil-
| lerists get the weapon out in few
minutes--if they are lucky. OtheS
| times. however, It is an operation that
| may require the better part Of an
| afternoon.
Americans Take Hand.
When the Americans have played
| audience long enough they themselves
will start holing and unholing the
field piece.
| Meanwhile they are spending spare
moments learning the proper way to
adjust a gas mask and are being given
an opportunity to take a little smell

A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled
and Use at Home.

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those who
according to DR.. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes restored
by this remarkable prescription and many
who once wore glasses say they have thrown
them away. One man says, after using IT,:
Il was almost blind Could not see to read
at all. Now can read anything without
my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more.
Now they feel fine all the time. 1t was like
miracle to me lady who ueed it says:
THE atmosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses. but after using this prescription
for is days everything seems clear. | can
read even fine print without glasses" An.
other who used II says: II was bothered
with eye strain caused by overworked. tired
eyes which induced fierce headaches. / have
worn glasses for several years both for dis
tance and work, and without them | could
not read my own name on an envelope or
the typewriter on the machine before me.
] can do both now and have discarded my
long distance glasses Altogether. can
count the fluttering leaves on the trees across
the street now, which for several years have
looked like dim green blur to me. l cannot
express my Joy at what 1t has done for me. -
1t is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a reasonable
time and multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes SO as to be spared the
trouble and expense Of ever getting glasses.
Eye troubles Of many descriptions may be
