GOTHAM BOYS BEHAVE BETTER
War Has Tempering Influence on
Youngsters, Says Settlement
Worker.

New York.-The boys Of New York
have been getting better gradually for
the last ten years. The annual report
of the Union settlement, which de-
votes it's efforts to South Harlem,
where the boys are representative of
the entire city. is authority for this
statement.
Gaylord s. White. secretary Of the
settlement, has several theories.
Thousands Of boys have been So
bered by the departure Of older broth
ers for war service" said Mr.. White,
land the work of the junior police in
the tenement districts has quieted IN
other large detachment Of potential
mlschief-makers. Things that were
considered smart and amusing have
lost their value In the boys eyes with
the burden Of war reflected all about
them"

II. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered q sure,
safe, qulck-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can cat anything you like now
and digest 1t in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured II you cat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment 1t enters the stOm-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
ditiOn, and thus prevents the fOrma-
ton Of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause a bloated, dull,
llumpy feeling that makes your

Military Bakery Companies.
The fresh bread Of the army comes
from the military bakery companies,
those unique institutions which, with
their portable ovens, trundle along, n
with each division, turning out crisp,
fresh bread by the thousands Of loaves.
regardless Of location, weather condl-
tons, or ever German shell fire.
Prior to the wal the strength Of a
bakery company was one officer and
81 enlisted men. On account Of the
Increase in the size of a division in u
army 1t was necessary to draft new
regulations increasing the strength of
the bakery company to two officers and
1O1 enlisted men and increasing the
equipment from - units to Is units, or
10 ovens. On July 16 the bakery branch
secured authority to proceed with the
organization of these new bakery COM
panies. On August 20, 80 of the new
bakery companies had been organized,
equipped and trained, and were on
hand to produce bread for the National
army and the National guard.
A Sample Days Ratlons.
Never at any time while the drafted
men were assembllng-and Of course
they reached their camps at all hours
of the day and night-were the kltch-
ems unprepared or unready to serve a
hot meal. Not since America started
to go to war has the commissarlat Of
the army broken down. The soldier,
with his issue ration varied and aug
mented through use of the cash saving
which the government allows him when
he does not draw the full value Of his
allotted food, lives IS well as or better
than the average civilian.
Here is the sample days menu-nOt
a special days menu, but representa-
tive of such meals as are regularly pro-
vided:
Breakfast-Oatmeal and milk. fried
liver and bacon, onions and gravy,
fried potatoes, coffee, bread.
Dinner-Vegetable soup. roast beef
and gravy, mashed potatoes, stewed
tomatoes, peach cObbler, bread.
Supper-Beef, baked potatoes. rice
