UNCLE SAM HELPS
SOL DIERS FIT

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 24-"The
soldier who goes to our training camps
on his way to the front does not get
cut from under the protection Of pure
food laws and the work of the sani-
tarv officer when he leaves his home"
reads a statement issued today by
H. E. Barnard, state food and drug
commission and also the representa-
tive OF the federal food administration
IA Indiana. The statement continues
Uncle Sam is quite as much on the
job of keeping him healthy by seeing
that his food is good as he is in max
ing him the finest soldier who ever
wore a uniform. The food supplies at
camps are closely watched by special
inspectors who report either to the
state health CT food officials. or to
the sanitary officers in charge of the
camps. Special attention Is paid to
the milk supply. ALI dairy farmers
who supply milk are required to eper-
ate sanitary diaries and to milk only
healthy cows. Dealers who handle the
milk are carefully watched in order
that any possible danger to the supply
may be avoided.
Soldiers in camp are not greatly
different from any other class OF boys.
They like something besides the food
they get at their mess tents, They
like soda pop, ice cream cones, mop.
corn and candy. All these places are
carefully watched by food inspectors.
If they are unsanitary they are closed
at once. Feed for soldiers must not
be exposed to dust and to flies.
An interesting report is made by
the sanitary inspectors at Fort Sher-
idan where they closed ten refresh
ment stands, notified two restaurants
to make changes ia the interest of
better sanitation, condemned 100
pounds Of spoiled meat and 165 pounds
of candy and prosecuted five dealers
tor violation Of the Pure Food laws.
When soldiers go out Of camp on leave
Il is not always pessihie to tell them
what they shall eat or where they
shall eat, but SO long as they remain
IL camp they are sure of getting good
food prepared and handled under sani-
taFy conditions"

SURPRISING FIGURES.

It is rather surprising that, in view of the steady increase in the number of states in the "dry" column, the amount of whiskey consumed by the Amer ican people last year was great CT than in any previous year since 1909. Strange and mysti- flying as it may seem, the in creased consumption of booze is shown by cold figures, namely, tax returns to the internal re- venue division of the treasury department. Although it is some times claimed that figures do lie, such a contingency is not likely in tue collection of taxes on whiskey by the ever-elert re- ment. States, cities and towns may fail to gather in the taxes they impose CD liquors, but pur- veyors seldom ever attempt to "get by" without paying Uncle Sam what is due him; the penal ty therefor is too great.
 Government figures just made public at Washington show that the tax receipts on whiskey and beer last year amounted to $252,- 7OS, 935, as compared with $223,- TIP, 934 in 1915. Although great CT than in 1915. beer consump- tion last year fell nearly 5000, GOO barrels below the high mark of 66, ,OOO,OO barrels in 1914. It would seem that all degrees of prohibition thus far devised do not prohibit, or that the increase in the use of whiskey and beer last year was, as some officials believe, due in part to the fact that the government is at pre- sent collecting taxes on all spir- ituous liquors produced in the country, which is said not to have been the case few years ago. This contention will re- main merely a matter of opinion and conjecture until proven and there is probably no way to es- tablish the fact beyond doubt. To say the least, the figures made public afford a problem that both wet" and "dry" ad- vocates will no doubt endeavor to explain to their respective advantage for some time to come. Miner

MEXICAN PESOS GOING UP.

Mining men operating in Mex ico complain of @ recent order of the Carrapza government fixing the value of Mexican silver at 1.8O pesos for one dollar Amer ican money, superceding the former rate of exchange two pesos for one American dollar. This rate applies to payment of duties and wages, increasing both by ten percent, it was claimed.
 Under recent rulings duties and wages must be paid in Mex ican gold or silver. No Mexi can gold being obtainable, silver pesos must be used.
 This ruling was made by the Mexican government, officials admit, for the purpose of taking advantage of the high price of silver, as contained in each peso. However, Americans affected claim the government by the ruling has advanced an impos- sible proposition; that the Mex ican gold peso, which is equiv alent 10 the silver one, has in creased similarly in value, although it's actual value is a fraction under 50 cents American money. The real effect, they say, has been to destroy the work of 40 years by removing the country from a gold to a silver basis.
