Mrs. Titus has made a detailed
study of the folk songs of the Ha-
waiian people. visiting the timid ma
tive women and encouraging them
to tell her of their music and leg
ends. Following her talk she sang
number of these selections in the
soft vowel wording of the Hawaiian
language, playing her own accom-
paniment, and she made an earn

sacred and individual and not be
syncopated for the sake of CONNER

OFFICERS MAKE
RAPID PROGRESS
Men in Reserve Camp atMadi-
son Barracks Rounding
Into Shape
(By Special TELEGRAPH Corr
ICSpOndCntl


TcSpondcnO
Madison Barracks, n. Y, May 20.
Fair and warmer, IL not fact, Is
at least the hope of 1850 "candi-
dates" who Compose the fifteen COM
panies of infantry and engineers at
the Reserve Officers Training Camp
here. The sun has deigned to come
out several times in the past week
but not in the good old-fashioned
way, and the men have not yet had
a chance to shake the office kinks
out of their muscles.
With the issue of ordnance, cloth
ing and other equipment, and the
typhoid prophylaXis and smallpox
vaccination out of the way, the
training regiment stationed at this
reservation is in a fair way TO get
really started this week. Within
week the members OF the National
Guard are expected 10 fill up the
companies TO full strength, but, 1t is
understood that the formal action
necessary to release them from pres
ent duty in order to attend the
camp has not been taken.
Making Rapid Progress
In the meantime, however, the
camp has not been marking time.
Rapid progress is being made in the
manual of arms and other regula-
tions, and camp sanitation, the
keeping of company records, squad
drills, physical exercises, etc., are
keeping all reserve officers and cam
didates on the jump. Orders from
headquarters are gradually becom-
ing stricter and the organization of
the camp is assuming more mill
tary appearance as the days so by.
Camps this summer differ from
former Plattsburg camps in that
the work is more thorough and conf
plete and naturally more serious.
Every man is training himself and
being trained by the regular army
officers in order that he himself
Just what he observes his superiors
doing now. 1t is the intention of
Lieutenant Colonel Sample and the
men associated with him at camp
headquarters to give every man at
camp an opportunity for actual eX-
perience in commanding squads,
platoons, and the companies so that
the twenty-five or thirty per cent
who are chosen to train the first
army of men called out by the draft
bill will be as carefully and success
fully qualified to handle the posi-
tions that they will assume as is de-
manded by military eXigency.
Act as Instructors
The reserve officers at camp are
acting as assistant instructors to the
regular army officers detailed here
for special duty, and new commits
sions are constantly being received
by men who came to camp before
they had been informed of the result
of their examinations. There are
now several hundred of them in
camp here.
At the end of the first month it is
understood that the men will be
separated according as they are
specially fitted for artillery, cavalry,
infantry. engineers, signal corps,
quartermaster supply, and all the
other branches of the service. In
the meantime all are working under
the same schedule, getting the
fundamentals down pat and prepar-
ing for the more advanced work
that will come in June.

Jams, jellies and preserves are
winter foods.
Too much heavy food is respon-
sible for most of our hot weather
discomfort.
Ice water is an enemy of good
digestion and a frequent cause for
diarrhea.
Don't let the summer pass with
out getting an ample amount of
vitalized food in the form OF green
vegetables.
Gall-bladder disease, including
gall stones, is the result, princi-
pally, of too much bread, potatoes
and sweets.
The germs which cause diarrhea
can become active only when we
eat improperly or abuse the sto-
mach in some way.
One way in which to conserve
the wheat supply is to eat only
hard toasted bread. Bread pre-
pared in this manner is entirely
digcsted. Fresh bread is usually
only partially digested.
Two quarts Of water is not suffi-
cicnt on the hot days, especially
for those who perspire consider
ably. Sufficient water should be
taken to prevent the urine from
being highly colored
Pickles, relishes and similar
dishes are not foods; they do not
furnish the body with either fuel
or building material they are
