Corps of Army Nurses

According to estimates based on an
Army of 100000 men, 800 nurses
will be needed. The present strength
of the Army Nurse Corps of the
Medical Department is about $500
To increase this number by nearly
1000 per cent in year is the task
faced by the corps.
Hospitals at Army camps and can

the quota for each up to the minimum

Gently said:
"Calonlel is cathartic and very
crude and superfuous one. 1t pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion CT bile. 1t has
no more influence over biliousness
shan any other active physic. 1t is
just the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
in use because old dogs seldom learn

Many Articles Used
in Emergency Rations
for Fighting Men.

The equipment of no soldier is
complete without emergency food
ratlons. United States troops are
supplied with three different parch-
ed maize-meal packets and three
chocolates. The former is a revival
of the American Indians, on which
they could exist for days while hunt
ing or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration furnished
Belgian French and Teutonic SOL
diers is a winter food of compressed
meat. There are more than a dozen
varieties of compressed teas used bv
the Russian commissary. Compressed
rice and macaroni is supplied Orient
al forces. Oat-bread in sausage form
is used by some of the North Brit
iSh troops.
A curious ration is the compressed
hg coffee of the Central Powers,
which may either be utilized for food
as 1t is or converted into a coffee
like drink. Smoke-dried pears are
used in the same armies The Swiss
soldier receives an emergency ration
OF white chocolate, made entirely of
cocoa-butter and sugar.
An Italian army chocolate is in
Sausage-length form, while their plum
dun goes into a beef membrane.

vance of S5 to 50 cents.
The hog market is very active, ex-
tending to a $3.50 top, and the bulk
of the hogs selling at about SIG. A
heavy increase in shipments would be
absorbed in this as we'll as in the cat
tic department to a good advantage.
The sheep market continues steady,
with the supply in the yards and local
feed lots cut in two within the past

lamb is considerably more active,
which bids fair to an active sheep
