WHAT SOLDIER BOYS EAT
Meat Served Twice Daily With Good
Supply of Other Substantial
Food-Crave Dainties.

The old idea that army diet should
coffee, is no longer approved. In the
present training camps meat, prefera-
bly, beef, is served twice a day, with
white bread baked in the general camp
bakery and kept "a hours before serv-
ing. Where green vegetables can be
obtained they are used, otherwise
canned goods are substituted. Coffee
is served at breakfast and buttermilk,
lemonade, tea, cocoa or water at other
meals. Meals, which in the vernacu-
lar are mess" or "chow," are served
cafeteria style. Every soldier is fur
nished with an outfit which consists
of a meat pan, knife, fork and spoon,
and long handled cup. The cover of
the meat pan serves as plate, and
the outfit is so arranged that each man
may do his own cooking in case of an
emergency.
Each man takes his meat pan and
passes before table where he is serv-
ed with the various dishes prepared.
He then goes to a table, or if there is
none, drops down on the ground, and
eats in absolute contentment. Don't
feel too sorry for the boys, even if they
do write iongingly home wishing for
mothers cookies or James fried chick
en-, Belle Case Harrington writes in
Leslie's. Men in outdoor training have
good appetites, and they are far better
off physically than if fed on the salads
and ices and sodas they probably
would have at home. What they miss
most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put in cookies, cam
dies and jams or jellies. Milk choco-
late is one of the things a soldier seems
to crave, and a jar of matted milk
will come handy if he is not feeling
well. Be sure not to send food that is
too rich. The boys are on plain diet,
with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when it comes to
eating

HE BLAZED NEWSPAPER TRAIL
Young Ohio Printer Established In.
dianapoIis' First News Dissemina-
tor in 1922, in Log Cabin.

The first newspaper published in
Indianapolis was the indianapolis Ga
Zette, started in January, 1922, by Ma
thaniel Bolton, Il young printer who
came from Ohio. He vas born at
ChillicOthe, once an Indian town, and
later for few years the capital of
Ohio. He learned the printers trade
there and moved to indianapolis a
year after the capital was located
there. In a reminiscent address many
years later he said:
1.-THE Gazette was established in a
buckeye log cabin of but one room,
part of which was occupied for fam
lily residence. 1t was printed on new
type. The ink was put on with balls
made of dressed deer skin stuffed with
wool. The balls, when out of use,
were kept soft by the application of
raccoon oil. There was 10 post office
nearer than COnnerSville, a distance of
60 miles; but a private mail was es-
tablished and person employed to go
to COnnersville every four weeks to
bring the letters and newspapers. In
February, 1923, the presidents mes
sage, delivered in December, 1922,
came to hand and was published in
the two or three succeeding numbers
of the Gazette. During the year 1922
q United States mail was established,
and in short time we had our mail
from the East every two weeks, unless
detained by high waters" A year
after starting the Gazette Mr.. Bolton
became mail carrier. In his reminis-
cent address he says:
"In 1923, having received contract
from the postmaster general, l pro-
ceeded with the first United States
mail north of Indianapolis to the then
recently deserted village of Anderson
town. A post office on the route was
established at the home of William
Connor, four miles south of Mobiles
Vile, and there was another post office
at Strawtown, a prairie Of consider
able magnitude, where many remains
of the Indian village that had been 10

WEBB-KENYON LAW
Is Held Constitutional by the SUI
preme Court

In the most sweeping of all de-
cisions unfolding prohibition laws,
the supreme court last Monday
upheld as constitutional end valid
the Webb Kenyon law prohibiting
shipments of liquor from wet" to
dry" states. 1t also sustained
West Virginia's recent amendment
to her law prohibiting importa-
ton in interstate commerce of IL
quor for personal use.
After having been vetoed by
President Taft, who held it uncon-
stitutional, and having been re-
passed by congress over his veto,
the law was sustained by the su-
preme court by vote Of 7 to 2.
Leaders Of the prohibition move
ment declare it to their fight sec
ond only in Importance to the pre-.
posed constitutional amendment
Lawyers for the liquor interests
who heard the decision admitted
it upheld and applied the law in
its fullest sense"
Chief Justice White announced
the majority opinion to which JUS
tices Holmes and Vandeventer
dissented. Justice McReynolds,
while agreeing with the majority
decision, did not concur 10 the
opinion.
The decision is a great victory
for law enforcement. States may
now enact laws prohibiting the
sale or possession of whisky with
out the federal government inter-
fering by itsinterstate commerce

rude upon dry territory.

LOCALIZED PRIMARY
A Bill Providing for Such a Law
has Been introduced

In the house of representatives
Friday, Representatives Louthan
and Denning introduced a bill
providing for legalized COM
pulsory primary in Tennessee,
and carries out one of the pledges
of the democratic party. This
act throws safeguards around tire
conduct Of primaries, and insures
an expression of the will Of the
voters of the state.
Beginning with 1918, all pri-
maries in the state must be held
under this act, and it does away
with the purely political primary,
which is subject to no law. The
laws of the state regulating cleo
tions in the main apply to this act.
Under this bill the date set for
the primary is the Saturday after
the first Monday in May, and III
the event a run-of primary is re-
qaired it shall be held on the
Saturday after the fourth Monday
in May.
All political parties must join in
the primary unless at the previous
election a party failed to cast ten
per cent of the vote cast and in
that evhnt that party's candidates
are not required to participate in
the primary Also independent
candidates are not required to
participate.
While the primaries of all par
ties are to be held at the same
place and same time, separate bal
lots are to be provided. Separate
tally sheets are to be kept, and no
voter will be permitted to par
ticipate IN the primary of more
than one party.
The Judges are to be appointed |
by the county election board, and |
each party participating in the
primary is to have one Judge.
In the event there are only two
parties represented no one party
S to have more than two judges.
