SOLDIERS GETTING GOOD FOOD
Continued from Page y

of the vastness Of the camp. Then, too,
if you could stand at the main entrance
some Sunday and see the thousands Of
people entering you might wonder where
there would be standing room but after
they have become scattered about camp,
you would wonder what has become of
the crowd that came through the gates.
don think that the average person,
who has not visited the camp can con-
ceve of the vastness Of this camp, and
this is only one of the many in the
United States.
In order to feed these forty odd
thousand men there has been a wonder
: full system built up know very little
about this, but | will try and tell you
something about the way in which the
feeding OF the men is handled in each
mess hall We have been told that the
Government allows thirty-seven and
three quarter cents per day per man.
Knowing how much money is available
to feed the men and the number Of men
to be fed, the cooks, together with the
mess officers, are able to figure out each
days ratons, Some days 60 below and
some run above the allotted amount but
it is essential to keep the average for
the month within bounds.
Every particle of food has to be
weighed before it is cooked. A record
of these weights are kept. ! will try to
give some idea of what we get to eat
here, but this is rather hard task for
me because it is hard toremember what
we had to eat the day before or during
the past week. No two days are alike
but good variation is provided, In
general we have coffee for breakfast
and supper, usually we have sugar and
milk for the coffee. Once in a while we
have cocoa instead of coffee. Then
also we get plenty of bread for all meals.
Beside these we have for BREAKFAST
some kind Of cereal, oatmeal, mush, or
rice. Then we have hash, or potatoes
and bacon, or some other kind of meat,
For dinner there is always some kind of
soup; this is different most every day
but is usually made from vegetables and
soup bones. Besides the soup we have
boiled potatoes, and some kind of meat
and gravy. The meat is usually beef
of some kind either roasted or boiled.
We sometimes have fish and once or
twice "a week we have baked beans,
and are served cucumber pickles and
onions. Then for dinner we get some
kind of desert. Apple sauce, bread
pudding, tapioca pudding, and corn
starch pudding are usually what we
get.
For supper we get some kind of
sauce such as apple sauce, or prunes.
We have potatoes, either boiled or
warmed over with some kind of meat
or meatbals. Sometimes the potatoes
and meat are together in the form of
stew. Instead of potatoes and meat
we sometimes get macaroni. Don't
think because have named these that
these are the only things that we get
for we get something new every day
or two.
The kitchen work is done by two cooks
and the hel p of five or six men who are
detailed to the kitchen for the day
Perhaps the reason that have tried to
give you this idea of the feeding Of the

LIBERTY BONDS OUT
First Edition Looks Good Second
viii BE Better Sun

Deliveries Of Liberty bonds to sub
scribers have been made this week, and
some people who never saw a bond be-
fore had an opportunity to see what one
looks like, The colors are black and
golden rod and printed on heavy paper,
produce a very artistic effect. So at
tractive il this line Of goods that I'M
doubtedly more people will want to in
vest when they see what they are,
For such, the opportunity is before
them, as uncle Sam is in need of three
or four billions more, and of course the
money must come from the people. As
the security is the best on earth, every
American who can scrape together the
price of one of these bonds, whether it
be $50 or 81 600, should notify the bank
nearest to him, which will do the rest.
The second lot of bonds will be bet
ter than the first, as they pay A per
cent whereas the first pay but 3l-2,
But the lower interest bearing ones can
be exchanged for the higher.

Here's a new way for all fat people to
laugh together at that old bugaboo--
Obesity. The saying that there Is nothing

fat people any more. Here u something new
for them-a new sensation, . new pleasure.
a new and graceful figure, easily found BY
anyone who is passing beyond the limits Of

another idea-the idea Of condcnsing these
same pure. harmless ingredients into .
pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating
and at bedtime, they help the stomach to
dispose of all the fatty foods. converting
them into compact. solid flesh. muscle and
energy. without dieting or exercise. Marmola

Breakfast Hour Causes
Jacobs Wife to Protest

Refusal OF Mrs. Oscar Jacobs, 2OlO
North Eighteenth street, to arise at
5 o'clock and cook breakfast for her
husband who drives for the Independ-
ent Ice company, resulted in differ
cnces between the couple which we're
not adjusted until just before Jacobs
was to be arraigned in police court
for nonsupport.
As the result Of his wife's failure to
prepare his breakfast, Jacobs said,
they had row Tuesday and she left
him. Friday night she brought about
his arrest on charges OF nonsupport,
but before the case was called to
trial relatives had patched up the diff
ferences.
Jacobs intends to return to farm
work, he said Then, he asserted, for
a couple of months at least he won't
have to get up until Sis.
