| Dominic Miglino, cook of the Fifth | company Westerly, Coast Artillery corps, now federalized, is chief instruc- ! tor in the camp of instruction for mess sergeants and cooks, established in ELincoln's woods. There is a company | in the work which is resigned to afford | mess sergeants and cooks of the Rhode l Island National Guard opportunity for receiving from experts instruction in ! company and battalion cooking, the op- | eration of field kitchens and sanitation.
 The camp will continue until July 10 1 when the men will return to their re- 1 spective commands.
 | The camp is under command of Cap l tain Henry W. Stoness of the quarter | masters department, with Lieutenant ! Chief Instructor Miglino of the Fifth | company is assisted by L. T. K. Stow i ell. steward of the Rhode Island State 1 college and Frederick J. Wilson, Of the Eighteenth company, formerly. cook in the regular army. The carnp D 1 instructions will be supplemented by lectures each evening after mess. The
 speaker Friday night was Major T. A. | Roberts, United States cavalry. To- night the lecture will be pr. George F l Crooker, who was ca ptafn of the san 1 itary detachment from Rhode Island 1 Tn the Spanish American war.
 It is expected that fifteen men will be added to the camp next week. | Meals will be provided in the camp for cooks to the soldiers who make week end hikes to Lincoln's woods. Fifty per cent. of the men in the camp of instruction have had scarcely any perience in cooking, and the rernaind CT is about equally divided between men who have had slight experience and those who are fairly expert in camp cooking.

 most daily knitting for the Red Cross.

 To qualify as a common drunkard in | the state of Rhode Island, it is not necessary to be arrested a specified 1 number of times within limited pe- | 11OC, as IS the case over the DOrOeT | line, but merely to be seen intoxicat- l ed a few times by a police officer, even ] at wide intervals. It is therefore pos | sible for an alleged moderate drinker | to be haled into court and answer to | the charge of being a common drunk l ard As a rule, however, in Westerly 1 the conditions justify the charge. In | the Third District court, Friday. Judge 1 Oliver H. Williams considered the two i cases of Charles Murray and Johp | Walter Onie Both adiUd1ed | guilty and sentenced to six months in the state workhouse at Cranston.
