Camp Mcclellan, Admission, Ala
Private Clark Snow, he of the Ala

for the Confederacy back in the COS,
limped into Camp Mcclellan to give
the boys of the Blue and Gray a few
pointers on how to lick the Huns.
Il have had no experience with Mr..
Kaiser, but / reckon what Colonel
Johnston and I went through a few
years back was fair sample of what
you youngsters are due to stack up
against over yonder," declared the
grizzled veteran of the struggle be-
tween the North and the South, as he
introduced himself to the students of
modern warfare.

gases, but we had a battle against the

EVERY CITIZEN SOLDIER

Everyone must help if we are

The people must be one or there

TONS
This is your war guide for use
in your home.
1t tells you what foods we
must save to provision ourselves
and our allies; it tells how we
can stretch our supplies so
everyone will have enough
without any hurt to your health
or your strength.
Your government does not ask
you to give up three square
meals a day-nor even one. All
it asks is that you eat less of
the foods we need to keep the
armies going and eat all you
want of the other things that we
have in plenty.
Eat plenty-keep up your
strength and your vim to help
win the war. You have dedi-
Gated to the nation everything
that you have; you are asked
row to give up-just some hab-
its of the kitchen and table.
America and her allies must
not run out of wheat, meat, or
fats. If we let that happen,
Germany will win the war.
We must save sugar, use
every drop of milk, and-we
must learn to follow directions.

KEEPS MEN COMMENTED
canteen Sevice Of Red Cross
Has Good influence
and Little Attentions That Mother
Understands

Washington. Canteen service as
provided by the American Red Cross
for our soldiers in France is one of the
most potent influences for keeping the
men contented and in the right frame
of mind to smash the Germans, says
Mrs. Jean Hull, who is in this country
on two months leave.
"a canteen is a long shack where
the soldiers are served coffee, sand
witches and more substantial food, as
well as sweets. Here soldier may
get his clothes mended, may have
them cleaned after the filth of the
trenches, and if he is homesick may
pour out his heart to one of the Amer
lean women in charge
In other words, the canteen fur
nishes that homelike touch which
means so much to a man three or four
thousand miles from his family and
friends.
Mothers with boys in France or in
training to go to France will be made
happy in knowing that such care Is
given to their sons by the Red Cross.
The American women who have volun-
teered to run the canteens are among
the nations most cultivated women.
They are enduring conditions which

roundings of their own homes.
Lots of times an American soldier
will come into the canteen,'' said Mrs
Hull, "with a spell of the blues. He
has been out in the mud, is tired and
hungry, and most of all wants sympa-
thy. When he sees us women cheer
fully washing in a mud puddle, sleep
ing in cold rooms and working long
hours on a stretch, he gets ashamed
of his feelings and braces up. They
are mighty glad to see a woman from
home and find our reading room, music
and chatter most alluring. We have
to run them out at times, they are so
eager to stay even after regular
hours

Praised for Devotion to Duty.

When the city Of Norfolk. Va, was
threatened with the complete destruc-

section early in January. every avail

from nearby towns was called into the

enlisted men .of the United States

the harbor were called on to help not
only In subduing the flames but con-
trolling the crowds. To a man they
gave a splendid account Of themselves.
Amoag these men was John Joseph
Mclaughlin, a chief boatswain's mate.
Although he had. worked all night, had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with ice-oold water, McLough-

Jacket and coat sleeves are narrow

for they are cut decidedly narrow and

Work Which Only Women Can Do.
Whatever our other activities, we
must "gO on with our knitting" In
very literal sense. Sox, sweaters,
wristlets, and bands and then more
sox will be needed in far greater num-
bers than ever before. Surgical dress
ing and bandages, also. must be sup
piled by the shipload. and food must
be conserved. In these affairs the
world leans on women for support. But
If each woman gives little time sSs-
tematically to Red Cross work and
looks after the conservation Of food in
her own home, the great total Of
achievement will do the work and fill
needs depending on us. Our part is
easy compared to that of the. soldiers
and sailors. 1t Is amazing that there
are women, with time and means at
their. disposal, who, because they have
no relatives in the army or navy. are
taking no interest. much less any ac-
tive part In the work to be done. They
are not worth fighting for. and should
be held up to the scorn they deserve.
Now is the time when cold selfishness

Bird Guided by Magnetism?

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and In cloudy
or foggy weather Is that they are SEN
sitive, in some way. to currents of ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore d.
rect their flight by the magnetic
meridians. This suggestion was put
forth by NJ. A. Thauzies, French
pigeon fancier. Tho declares that car
rier pigeons make poor flights during
the occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use of
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of these birds to a surpris-
ing extent-Popular Science Monthly.
