shot her husband II weeks ago, and

of poisoning from vegetables pre-

declared Charles Lathrop Pack,
pr esident of the national emergency

There have appeared statements
that the danger is prevalent and
that all susceptible foods which
have been prepared by this method
should be regarded with suspicion.
At East Lansing, Mich, four hun

As the cold pack method involves
sterilizing vegetables for from one

danger exists when directions have
been followed carefully. The cold
pack method has been used for FIVE
years and no death or serious ill

The one essential is that no
canned goods be eaten which show
visible signs of spoilage. When there

What Your Boy
Is Doing

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Engi-
neers are the wizards OF modern
warfare. 1t is the task of the en-
sineer corps to prepare the embat-
Elements behind which the real
fighters work.
Engineers build the trenches and
consolidate positions taken. They
are often required TO work under
fire and exposed TO danger.
Work of the engineers, like that
of the infantrymen, has been high
" specialized. There are sappers
and miners who dig the trenches
and construct the embellishments.
Then there are bridge builders and
road builders. who are RESPONSE BILE
for the lines of communication.
New tasks have been laid upon
the shoulders Of the engineer corps
by modern warfare. one of the
greatest of these tasks is the con-
struction and maintenance of rail-
road lines behind the battle front
Forestry is also now a part of the
engineer corps. Several regiments
of men even at the present moment
are at work i'm the devatated pOr-
tons Of France doing work of re-
Mobilization in order that the coun-
try may not find itself absolutely
wrecked when the war is finally
ended.
Perhaps the most adventuresOme
division of the engineer corps men
is that Of the gas and flame battal-
ions These are the men who at
tack the enemy with gas clouds and
flaming fire IN fact they are the
only men i'm the engineer corps who
engage in offensive lighting.
The element Of danger 10 men i'm
the engineer corps is high. These
men, while not essentially fighting
men. work for the most part under
fire and have little or no oppor-
tunity 10 seek shelter, for that is
their work. building shelter FOR the
other fighters.
Commissioned officers of the en-
gineer corps are all technically
trained men. Enlisted men. as far
as possible. are men who have
worked at trades and who have
knowledge of some form OF me
chanical or industrial work
The bat cord Of the engineer
corps is red and white. The collar
insignia is a small fortress. Tn
like most OF the nou-offensive
forces the engineers are II armed
with rifles.

LOUISVILLE. KY. Dec. IL
Furloughs for the Christmas period
will be granted enlisted men at
Camp Taylor whose homes are at a
distance from the cantonment or

organization commanders permits
sion to grant a reasonable number
o. enlisted men furloughs from noon
of Dec. - TO Dec 26. All work. drills
or instruction will be suspended dur
ing that time save the necessary
guard and fatigue duty. This means
that practically all the South Bend
boys Will be home for Christmas
dinner. The camp will be practically
deserted then for the local boys will
all be granted leave for the day.
Members of the new national
army at Camp Taylor continue to
battle against the elements and are
making a Roadway in cleaning the
snow drifts from the roads. At many
points the snow was packed so
sOlidly that it was necessary 10 use
picks before it could be removed.
Traffic conditions have been great
~ improved but street cars are not
running to Camp Taylor and $4,000
men are virtually maroOned.
In the meantime zero weather has
prevailed Clerks and soldiers at

who usually cart this away and con-

While the outdoor active training
has been retarded by the cold spell
officers have readiusted the sched-
ules so that indoor work has taken
the place of drilling at the various
schools of the Lincoln division. This
method is also being adhered TO
ana instead of the students going
to the trenches they are attending
