YANKEE SOLDIERS WELL FED
II Cannot Be Said That In Any Way
Uncle Sam Stints His Fight
ina Men.

More than a billion pounds Of meat
a year and an equal amount Of pure
wheat -four are required for the Amer
lean army bill of fare. That impos-
Ing total will increase rapidly as the
United States enlarges its fighting
forces In France and the divisions in
training on this side of the Atlantic.
Uncle Sam does not stint the quality
or quantity OF food for his husky fight
ing men. There is a bountiful supply
of every essential foodstuff on a care
fully balanced menu that provides
more calor,es than the rations of any
other army in the world. Twenty
seven standard articles figure in the
list from which mess sergeants select
material for the daily meals. They
are beef, bacon, flour, baking powder,
beans, rice, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
prunes, jams, apples, peaches, coffee.
tea, sugar, milk, vinegar, pickles, salt,
pepper cinnamon, lard and lard sub
stitutes, butter and OleOmargarine,
sirup and flavOring extracts. Even
with this elaborate selection, and not
withstanding the mounting cost of
food, the government finds it possible
to give the boys in khaki all they can
cat for the modest sum Of Al and a
fraction cents q day. The soldiers get
many articles of food, however, that
are not included in the standard" list.
Supply sergeants are instructed TO
vary the diet by purchasing eggs,
chickens, green vegetables and fresh
fruits. This plan is followed in
France as well as in the United
States. UnGer favorable circumstances
poultry and fresh vegetables and fruit
are served ;ii the front-line trenches.

Much Over.Rated.

Attila the Hun was piker-a poor,
doddering, inefficient, tender-hearted
old fussbudget. We have learned that
during the last four years. No pep.
No science. No poison gas.
How did Weyler earn the terrific
reputation that he had in 1898? He
was a quiet, law-abiding, carpet-slip-
pered old Spanish gentleman, and as
harmless as a bowl of bread and milk.
What did he know of brutality?
Villa, dead or alive, used to pose as
some pumpkins in the realm of polite
butchery. Where did he get that stuff?
He was only a movie crook.
Nero got away with lot of noto-
riety in his time as a first-class, all
around blackleg, but he was only an
amateur.

SHE FELL IN A WELL
Who Put Her in, Nobody Knows
Who Pulled Her Out, Her Husband.

The maddest woman in Topeka to-
day lives in North Topeka.
She is angry not because her body
is bruised from head to foot. not be-
cause she is hardly able to walk, not
because she ruined a new dress, not
because she merely fell in a well back
of her home, but because her husband,
after pulling her from the horrors of a
watery grave, imm ediately went down
into the hole and began to repair the
pump and the frame above it.
1t happened this way:
The wife went out to draw water.
The boards covering the well gave
away and she fell in. Her husband
was in the house playing on the talk
ing machine. Her screams failed to
reach him but persons passing by
heard the muffled sounds and investi-
gated. The husband was notified and
reluctantly he turned off the "Old
Oaken Bucket and went out in the
back yard.
He discovered his wife down in the
we'll, let rope down to her and after
surface. She was sight. Her clothes
were torn, her hair was down and
she was in anguish.
Now the wife stood all these "a d.
ventures bravely. She rushed into the
house. removed her clothing, found
bruises and scratches all over her
body and offered herself first aid.
After patching up her wounds she
went down stairs-but no husband. In
anger she sat down to brood over her
misfortune. In about fifteen minutes
the back door opened and the hus-
band came in.
Where have you been?'' she
Shrieked.
"Oh, just fixing the we'll And say,

APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM
Need of Ships Greater Than Need of
Food, Declares Hoover.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover. in a statement today,
called on all patriotic ship workers to
enroll in the public service reserve.
No amount of increased food produc-
ton, decreased food use or food sub
stitution and saving will help unless
ships are available. he said.
MY anMeties about ships are no
less numerous than those about food
ITSELF said Mr.. Hoover. Hence it is
with earnestness that l endorse the
idea of creating a voluntary reserve
of men from which the man power
necessary to solve the great problem
of shipping can be recruited as rapidly
it can be used. For every army of
fighters there is necessary a much
larger army of loyal men, devoted to
the maintenance of the fighting unit"
