Question About Food.
"'TeIl me about your food-is it good
and are you getting enough of it?' he
asked one Of the boys.
It's pretty SLIM the boy replied.
ct want to know all about it, the
general went on. Let's get down to
facts. Now. what have you for dinner
today% He called the cook out.
Today's dinner is about the aver
age the cook said. We've got meat
and potatoes. beans. stewed tomatoes,
bread and coffee with stewed prunes
for desert
THE general turned to the boy who
had made the complaint.
You call that slim he asked.
I'd say that was a dinner good enough
for anybody. It's as good as I get
when I'm back at my headquarters.
You haven't soldiered very long, have
you? Less than year? Well, I've
been in the service % years and I've
seen many time when there wasn't I
half that much to eat"
Another time the general went info
a cook shack and sampled the supper.
He tasted everything the boys were
to be fed. He didn't like the meat.
This meat isn't fit to eat,' he de-
clared Where is your supply ofiicer?'
he said to the captain.
That was the beginning Of an un-
comfortable hour for everybody con-
nected with the outfit who was con-
cerned in any way with the meat-sup-
plies.

the purest foods. ] never want to

The general doesn't know what

walked out from the post. whence the
