this you can still fall back on the
1900 pounds of sausage. 3,40O
pounds of sauerkraut. $4,000 pounds
of apples. 1880 pounds of oranges,
and 4.200 pounds of onions.
"And If this doesn't suit you. you
can bump along into 1884 pounds Of
potatoes, 7,100 pounds of ham and ba-
con, 1880 pounds of butter. $500
pounds Of sugar and 81 500 pounds OF

And this leaves out 1900 pounds Of
jam and 800 pounds of lima and
navy beans.
THE sea brings on an appetite-at
times. So does wearing khaki. The
combination develops a cyclone. Yet
this ship not only yields many thou
sands OF meals a day but will deposit
10000 pounds of food at its next
port.
There is no vast space for all this
but perfect organization, four clean
kitchens and a mess force of 13S men
turn the trick without a tangle.
From potatoes to pies. from ice cream
to sauerkraut, from grape fruit to
onions, from jam to sardines, the al
lotment is drawn from its shadowed
hiding place below, where the removal
of several pounds hardly leaves a
dent. And handling $50 varieties OF
food in quantities that range from
500 pounds to seventy-nine tons
speaks almost for itself.

Serving All the People.

The great aim of the PostoffiCc
Department is public service, exact
ly as is the case with the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, OF the Interior,
OF Commerce. and of Labor. The
Department of Agriculture, for ex-
ample. gives the farmer instruc-
tion upon the soil. how to prevent
glanders, hog cholera and other
diseases among his stock, and in
countless other ways give free of
charge the results of costly re-
search and experimentation. This
sort of service adds to the pros
perity of individual farmers and
billions to the national wealth. In
the same way the Postofice De-
partment should render a service to
the inhabitants of the remotest
parts of our country that we
should not even try to measure in
terms of cost. Suppose it does cost
more than the value Of a stamp
to deliver a letter to the Philippines
or Alaska, that is part of the ma
tion's service to it's citizens.
1t is just in this sense that news
papers and other periodicals are some
OF the finest instruments of national.
social and economic service. Hence
the delivery free Of charge in the
county of publication of the local
newspapers. Periodicals are the
greatest OF popular educators. As
creators Of business they are worth
to the country vastly more than the
millions Of dollars of advertising they
carry, 1t is because the postal in
creases ranging from so to 900 per
cent, would throttle the circulation
OF newspapers and periodicals, and
thus defeat the public service func-
ton of the Postofice Department,
that the zone postal scheme should be
repealed by the present Congress be-
fore 1t goes into effect.-Leslie's.

Disease Is Not Reached by
Treatment with Sprays
and Atomizers.

Your Catarrh will be much
worse this year than last If you
have been relying upon sprays.
atomizers, inhalers, jellies, lotions
and other local applications.
Catarrh is a disease that makes
steady inroads, and unless check
ed by the proper treatment, each
year finds the sufferer more
strongly in the grip of the dis
ease. The air passages of the
nose and throat become more
easily clogged up, and your
breathing is very difficult and
painful. This disease is not only
source of pain and suffering to
yourself, but your hawking and
splitting is very annoying and Of
fensive to those about you.
There is a dangerous feature
to Catarrh that is often over
looked until too late, for if allowed
to run its course until it becomes
deep-seated, the disease has a
tendency to extend toward the
lungs, and when these vital or
gans become affected you are in
deed in a serious condition. This
is why We urge those afflicted
with this disease to consider their
condition with the utmost serious
ness, and lose no further time in
getting on the right treatment.

CITY LAbvllERS
OUT NSUPPORT
OF 22LAID
I1,l00 Strike, Demanding
Reinstatement and So
Minimum Wage.

Declaring that twenty-five of their
number had been discharged for par.
ticipation in the one-day strike last
Monday, 1.1OO skilled and unskllled
mechanics and laborers in the en-
ploy of the District yesterday went
on strike, leaving their work at noon
with the statement that they would
not return until their grievances had
been settled.
The men claim that on Tuesday,
the day following the strike. twenty
two men employed in the sewer de-
partment were laid on for their par
ticipation in II. The Commissioners
admit that the men were laid of.
but state that II was necessary be-
cause of lack of funds with which
to pay them. They point out that
at this time, just preceding a new
appropriation from Congress. the
funds OF the municipal government
are running very low. and II is neces-
sary to cut down expenses. The men
argue that IL this Is true the strikers
were Disseminated against. inasmuch
as all OF the twenty-five men laid
of were union men.
The strike involves men OF the
street cleaning, sewer and surface
divisions. and steam engineers. II
was declared through the City En-
ployes' Association, of which J. II.
Hurley is president. This organiza-
ton is independent of the Nationa!
Federation OF Federal Employees,
which is affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor. One OF the men
laid on was Charles Gerber. secretary
of the City Employees Association.
UItimatum to Commissioners-
An ultimatum declaring the strike
was submitted to the District Com
missioners by Mr.. Hurley yesterday
morning. 1t declared, in addition to
a demand for the reinstatement of
the discharged employees. that unless
the demands of the men. set forth
in the ultimatum delivered to the
Commissioners May .. just preceding
the strike last Monday. were acceded
to by noon yesterday the men would
not return to work tomorrow. nor
until their demands had been satisfied.
The extent of the strike will not be
known until time for the men to re-
turn to work tomorrow morning. al
though some idea may be obtained
this morning from the force who ap-
pear at work at the pumping station
of the sewer department, which is in
operation on Sundays. 1t was at this
station that the twenty-five men laid
of were employed.
The demands OF the May . ulti-
matum referred to are for an increase
in pay for all skilled and unskilled
laborers and mechanics. They include
a demand for a g minimum daily
wage for unskilled laborers and pro-
portionately greater pay for higher
grades OF labor. The decision TO

Do They Eat on a Transport?
Only 100000 Meals or So
Handing Out 80 Varieties of Food to Lined
up Doughboys Keeps Mess Officer
Fairly Busy.

II this story reaches Germany 1t
will be termed "insidious American
propaganda" for it's a tale of more
than 100000 meals.
Furthermore it gives all the Sc
ductive and alluring details of $3.50
tons of food so picturesyuely set
forth that one can almost hear the
rattle of the knives and forks, and
sense the epicurean ecstacy of thou
sands of Uncle Sans doughboys. The
Navy Department made 1t public
yesterday when it announced that
100000 meals were served on a
United States transport on a re-
cent voyage.
The account was taken from the
ships daily newspaper. and the ex-
uberant reporter-who must have
the soul of a chef-describes it in
this wise:
In spaces no larger than a pri-
vate dining room at Sherry's they
come by, thousands upon thousands.
and yet in such perfect order that
in less than eighty minutes the last
man has been served.
THE khaki line seems limitless
1t must seem longer than that to
those who remain in the rear. But
the coffee in the big pots remains
hot, the stew continues to steam,
and in less than seven seconds each
man has an equipment replete with
food. 1t only takes two details to
accomplish this miracle-perfect sys-
tenn and vast quantities of things
that one can eat.
Plenty Of Fresh Vegetables.
Flour. potatoes and beef are the
big. three that rule the realm be-
low, yet there are $4,000 pounds of
fresh vegetables waiting to be alb
sorbed. providing the sea doesn't
get too rough.
After receiving their food, the
men arrange their own menus. For
example, one takes gravy on his
rice and jam on his bread. The next
takes gravy on his bread and jam
on his rice. using the combination
to produce a crimson tinted mix
tue of startling effect. American
ingenuity is hard to stop.
Outside of providing 10000
meals at sea. the mess officer of
the ship has very little to do. Very
little.
He is only called upon to pro-
vide. by the regula tions, $50 diff
ferent varieties of food That's all
Ever try to order $50 different
things to eat? Yet this is the au-
thentic list.
The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dream. You get the
answer in the ship down below the
water line. where 1900 loaves of
bread have been baked in one day,
and eaten, and where you stumble
over variety from $4,000 pounds of
beef to $4,000 eggs or a compart-
ment of brick ice cream in a ten
degree above zero vault.
