wounded, who originally remained at
the military hospitals for months, are
now cured and returned to the forces

army surgeons stationed at camps,
environments, and other military hos

Two out of every 1000 men in the
army have to have their shoes made to
order In several camps entire regi-
ments have had their feet measured,
and hundreds of drawings were made
of odd shapes and sizes. At the pres
ent time the army uses between 2,0O0,-
600 and 100000 pairs of shoes
month.
Facts brought out in tests seem to
prove that men in the present army
are larger than those serving in previ-
Gus wars. Not only is this shown by
the larger sizes of shoes called for, but
by the larger sizes Of outer clothing
that is being required. Records in the
quartermaster corps show that size
larger, on the average, is being de-
manded in blouses, shirts and breeches
than have ever before been used.
