DO THEY EAT TOO MUCH
IN THE ARMY AND NAVY?

What Napoleon said about the re-
lation of soldiers rations to their
ability to fight has been paraphrased
by the celebrated DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley in an article appearing in
Good Housekeeping for November
an article of widest interest to every
one with relatives or friends in the
various branches of the service.
Says the famous food specialist: !:
"To plan a battle is of high signifi-
canoe, but the best plans will fail
if the commander leads ill-fed or
starving soldiers. The first point
that strikes the student of military
dietaries is the generous portions
that are daily issued to each man.
Our food administration would be
shocked at the ponderous portions
supplied. The three guiding princi-
piles of military nutrition are the
following: The food must be ample
in quantity; it must be excellent in
quality; it must be free of all adult
Grafton and debasement.
"The total weight of the garrison
Army ration-and this is the same as
the Marine Corps-is 68.7 ounces a
day. This includes coffee, salt, bak-
ing powder, vinegar, flavoring ex-
tracts, ETC., which are not included
in determining the food-value of the
ration because they are continental
and have no appreciable foodvalue.
"The total weight of the Navy ra-
lion, including condimentals, is one
hundred ounces day. This does
not include any water or other bev-
erage drunk during the day or used
at meals. In other words, the Army
ration, excluding beverages, is 4.3
pounds and the Navy ration, ex-
Guiding beverages, is six pounds a
day.
"The travel ration of the Army,
where the soldiers are transported
and doing no marching, is somewhat
less generous than that of the sold
iers in garrison. The field rations
and emergency rations are prescrib-
ed by the commander-in- chief as the
emergency may arise, and, of course
are more generous than the trans
portation ration.
"The most striking feature of the
Army and Navy ration is the great
excess of food beyond the physical
requirements of the soldier or sail
or. Persons who are overfed are
threatened with disaster almost to
the extent of those who are underfed
I am fully convinced that our sold
iers would be better off if 1-3 of
the food issued to them were cut
out"

eED CROSS CHAPTERS URGED
TO SPEED CHRISTMAS PACKETS

Cooperation of chapters in all Sec
ions of the country in the matter
If furnishing Christmas packets has
,een so cordial as to indicate that
he American Red Cross would sue
eed in its attempt to place Christ
las package in the hands of every
american soldier and sailor, at
,ome and abroad, on Christmas
lorning.
Additional Packets Asked.
The first call to the chapters, is
ued through the division directors
nd asking for total of 100000
ackages, was supplemented by
second call for 100000 packets in
,ddition, and the division officers
eport that the local organizations
,nder the respective supervision are
,triving to meet the quotas assigned.
In order that the plans for all mill
ary and naval distribution may go
through without hitch, the inn
)oytance of speed in furnishing the
packages not yet forwarded to divi-
sion warehouses is emphasized. A
share of the task of making the Red
Cross Christmas plans complete
success depends upon each of the
$4,000 chapters in the country.
Handkerchiefs and CheckerbOards
With regard to the additional allot
ment, bandana handkerchiefs will be
acceptable in the absence Of khaki.
Chapter members are encouraged to
buy supplies for their packets local
ly. If checkerboards can not be
purchased, packets should be made
without them.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. o.
President Wilson issued tonight his
1917 Thanksgiving proclamation call
ing upon the nation, even in the
midst of the sorrow and great peril
! lof world shaken by war, to thank
God for blessings that are better
than mere peace of mind and pros
perity of enterprise.
The proclamation fixing Thurs

day, follow:
("Thanksgiving 1919
"By the President of the United
States of America.
"A proclamation.
at has long been the honored GUS
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
full autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God fol
His many blessings and mercies to
us as a nation. That custom we can
follow now, even in the midst of the
tragedy of sorrow and great peril,
because, even amidst the darkness
that has gathered about us, we can
see the great blessing God has be-
slowed upon us, blessings that are
better than mere peace of mind and
prosperity of enterprise.
Opportunity of Service
"We have been given the opportun

served ourselves in the great day OF
our declaration of independence by
taking up arms against tyranny
that threatened to master and debase
men everywhere and joining with
other free peoples in demanding for
all the nations of the world that we
then demanded and obtained for our
selves. In this day of the revelations
of our duty, not only to defend our
own rights as a nation, but to defend
also the rights of free men thruout
the world, there has been vouch-
safed us in full and inspiring meas
ure the resolution and spirit OF unit
ed action. We have been brought
to one mind and purpose. A new
vigor of common counsel and COM

We should especially thank God thai
in such circumstances, in the midst
of the greatest enterprise the spirits
of men have ever enterd upon, we
have, if we but observe a reasonable
and practical economy abundance
with which to supply the needs OF
those associated with us as we'll as
our own. A new light shines about
us. The great duties of a day awak-

PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS.

SEATTLE-Nov. %, Slowly
the big food manufacturers of the
country are being brought under the
control of the United Staes Food
Administration. The big meat plants
of the state of Washington as well
as the milk condensaries are now
under the thumb of Mr.. Hoover.
They will be permitted hereafter
to make only a fixed percentage
of profit on their products and
if they attempt to make more than
is allowed by the government the
plants are liable to confiscation. Ii
is believed that this latest move
will have tendency to hold down
the price of milk and meat to tho
consumers. Mr.. Hoover's admin
istration has ruled that "no Ii
censes shall be granted for the ex-
port of condensed, canned, powdered
or other forms of preserved milk
unless there shall have been fileG
with the bureau of exports certi
ficate of the manufacturer stating
that such milk has been sold direct.
ly to the exporter and for expor
purpose; or unless compliance shall
be had with such other regulations
as may be determined by the food
administration"
In order to secure a license, the
exporting concern must procure
from the manufacturer and file with
the war trade board a certificte set
ting forth that the milk was sold di-
rect to exporter and for export pur
poses, and that the raw milk from
which the finished product was
made was purchased at prices nc
higher than prices paid by the buy
ers. in the territory in which the
milk manufacturers plant is situated
The object of the certificate from
the manufacturer is to discourage
the operations of spectators who
have been purchasing from the re.
tail stores the brands of milk which
the manufacturer has set apart for
distribution made of such surplus to
our allies for civilian as we'll as mill.

Knitted sweaters, WHISTLES aHO
socks are needed Immediately in
great quantities by the American Rec
Gross, and women are urged to use
all their efforts in the making Of
sweaters in particular for the sol.
diers and sailors of the United States
according to word received by C.. y
Stimson,, division manager Of the
Northwestern Division, from H. D
Gibson, general manager of the Il
merican Red Cross.
The telegram asking Stinson te
urge the making of sweaters in the
Northwest follows an interview viii
Secretary Josephus Daniels of the
navy, who said that the sweaters
were not absolutely needed, although
they could be used for comfort. Mar
ager Gibson says:
''It is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wriStlets and socks that
can possibly be made by the womer
of the country should be turned into
the supply department of the Rec
Cross at the earliest possible dates
s'With the cold weather coming on
the demand for sweaters, especially
has been beyond the capacity of all
our resources to supply. We have
forwarded promptly all knitted ar
ticles received from the chapters,
and have in addition been compelled
to buy in tn market $4,000 sweaters
of which about 250,000 have been
delivered. These sweaters are ma.
chine-knit, and the yarn used is q
mixture of cotton & wool; so that il
does not withdraw any considerable
amount of yarn from the women
knitters of the Red Cross.
"We call upon the women to give
us their very best efforts from now
until at least January 1, that we may
be able to furnish our own men with
those comforts and have some to
spare for the dire needs in France y
There is general complaint from
the farming industry particularly
throughout the Pacific Northwest
that Uncle Sam must take more strin
gent action if potato supply of the
country is to be conserved and the
growers receive fair price for their
potatoes. Last Spring the cry went
up from Washington urging people
everywhere to go into the potata
growing business. The country re-
sponded with the result that the po-
tato acreage was increased to an e.
normous eXent. Now sit back the
commission men and declare that
there is little. demand for potatoes
and that farmers who are holding
their crops for higher prices had
best get in and sell at the present
low market price or otherwise they
will find themselves in the SPRING
with supply on hand and prices
still lower. Of course the commits.

conditions and low prices. Here is
what they say in explanation of the
present potato situation:

now been made plain that the govern
ment, working through the railways,
is opposed to transporting potatoes
from one part of the country to

iobbers for bearish forecast.
The Pacific Northwest has been

Spruce within the next year than it
IS doing at present we will be re-
'ponsible for an additional year of
war. The Government is placing
much faith in the aeroplane as
