Our Army Store in France.

Prices quoted for June on mercnan-
disc in the huge general stores oper-
ated by the Quartermaster Corps In
France show that members of the Tx
peditionary forces may secure goods
at prices lower than retail prices IN
effect in this country.
Although the men are issued ample
rations, the quartermaster stores are
opened to the enlisted men for the
purpose of permitting them to add to
their menu or to satisfy individual de-
sires for dainties or delicacies. The
highest grade of merchandise only is
carried in stock so that the men may
be sure of having the best, whether
in rations or extra supplies.
Oddly Shaped Feet Get Fitted.
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 q

seem to prove that men in the present
army are larger than those serving in
previous wars.
Awarding Medal Of Honor.
These tests are applied to cases rec
commended for the medal of honor, ac-
cording to instructions issued as a
guide to officers by General Pershing:
Men who have performed in action
deeds of most distinguished personal
bravery and self-sacrifice above and
beyond all call of duty; so conspicuous
as clearly to distinguish them for gal
lantry and intrepidity above their
comrades; which involve risk of life
or the performance of more than or
dinarily hazardous service, the omis-
sion of which would not justly subject
the person to censure for shortcom'
ing or failure in the performance of his
duty.
The distinguished service cross is
awarded for gallantry in action to
anyone who may distinguish himself IN
action by extraordinary heroism in
connection with military operations
against an armed enemy, under cir
cumstances which do not justify the
award of the medal of honor.
The distinguished service medal is
awarded for exceptionally meritorious
service to the government in connec
ton with operations against an armed
enemy

intended to be the crushing of Italy

GERS is the rout of the invaders
Seek Safety Across Piave.
With their backs to the swollen
Piave the Austrians for several days
past had been trying to ward off the
vicious counter-attacks of the Ital-
ians and save the situation. Now they
are endeavoring and still under great
pressure, to ford the stream and
reach safety on the eastern bank.
From the Monticello plateau to the
Adriatic sea the enemy is in retreat
Already his losses are estimated at
100000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy cas-
ualties and men made prisoner seem
remote.
Pontoon Bridges Destroyed.
Large numbers of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the Piave have been swept
away by the now torrential stream,
and on all the sectors of the 33-mile
front where they gained edges of the
Venetian plateau they are being sore
ly harrassed by the fire of the Italian
guns and rifles and by the machine
gun fire and bombs of the allied avi-
ators who have done such notable
execution since the attempted drive
was started.
Monster preparations had been made
by the Austrians for what was to be
the death. blow to King Victor EN-
manuel's men. Thousands upon
thousands of men, many of them
brought from the Russian and Ru-
manian fronts, and guns and stores
in tremendous quantities had been
parcelled among the various COM
manders for the drive over a battle
arc of virtually 10NSpiles, running
from the Asiago plateau to the Pave
and then to the sea.
Counted on Shattered Morale.
Undoubtedly the Austrian high
command had built largely for sue
cess on the belief that the Italian
morale had been shattered. From the
first onslaught the enemy met re-
juvenated army which fought gallant
ly, never ceding an inch unless it
was dearly paid for Aiding the Ital-
ians in the mountains were British
and French armies. Territory taken
in the mountains was almost as
quickly regained and the enemy held
in check.
Along the Piave, especially on the
Montello plateau, the gateway to the
Venetian plains from the northeast
and of several points farther south
where the Austrians succeeded in
crossing the river, the Italians every
where imposed such strength against
the enemy that he was unable to en-
large his gains and then, with re-
doubled efforts, forced him to COM
mence the retrograde movement that
has developed into disorganized
| flight.

TURNIPS FOR PIG FEED.

Sow turnips this week for pig feed.
The turnips will save half to three
fourths of the corn that the pigs will
need without them. Sow two pounds
of seed an acre. Sow every two
weeks until April 1st. Sow on new
ground or land that is rich. 1t is a
waste of seed to sow on poor land
without manuring it well.
Eally Milan is the earliest variety
and is ready to feed in 60 days after
seeding. The supply of seed of this
sort is short. The Purple Top Strap
Leaf is the standard variety. 1t is
ready to feed in about 70 days after
sowing.
Turnips yield on good soil about
$50 bushels an acre and this quantity
has feed value for pigs equal to %
bushels Of corn. From these figures
the swine growers can determine how
much to SOW. The turnips are off the
land early enough to be followed by
corn or any other regular crop.
Turnips should be cooked with as
little water as possible and not have
them burn. When they become thor
oughly cooked, let them become cool
enough to eat. Then mix little
grain with them and feed warm, but
not hot. Do not cook the grain.
Cooking reduces the food value of
grain, but increases that Of the tur-
nips. Pigs do not thrive on turnips
alone, but do well on turnips and a
small quantity Of grain. H. M. Cott-
rell, Bureau Of Farm Development,

MISS TROODE GIVES
DEMONSTRATIONS
Ladies of Tupelo Instructed by Urban
Demonstration of Food Conserva-
tion Department.

Thursday afternoon at two o'clock
Miss Troode, Urban Demonstration of
the Food Conservation Department,
gave the first of series of demon
strations to the ladies of Tupelo. An
audience of more than one hundred
interested housewives, eager to make
the home do its bit toward winning
the war, gathered to learn from Miss
Troode how to carry on successfully
their part of the great task confront
ing our nation.
Mrs. j. C. Read, chairman of the
unit serving for the afternoon, and
her co-workers had collected the
necessary materials and utensils. At
ter speaking briefly of the necessity
for conserving food, Miss Troode
proceeded to show how appetizing and
wholesome dishes may be prepared in
such way as to save sugar and
wheat.
The work for the afternoon consis-
ted of the preparation and serving of
prunes cooked without sugar, bread
made of corn meal and soy bean,
and date marmalade.
Friday Miss Troode spent in DEM
onstrating the uses of oat meal, an
inexpensive and nutritious food; COM
bining it with meat, she made it into
croquettes for dinner which, served
with tomato sauce, made most ap-
petizing dish. She also used it to
make delicious puddings, cookies and
mullins, showing clearly that it could
be used not only as substitute for
meat, but for deserts and breads as
we'll.
Throughout her demonstrations,
she emphasized the use of local pro-
ducts, such as vegetables, oils and
fats, instead of lard; honey, corn
syrup and sorghum, instead of sugar;
barley, rye and soya bean meal, in
stead of wheat flour; and in the COM
bination of these products were made
such toothsome dishes that one and
alf caclared that "war cooking was
not bad after all.
The large number of ladies in at
tendance upon these meetings was
proof positive that the fires of patriot
ism are burning brightly in the homes
of the Queen City Of North Missis-
sippi, and the fact that steps are be-
ing taken to secure permanent head
quarters and equipment for these
monthly Urban demonstrations assure
Miss Troode that she will always
have good hearing in Tupelo.

Wheat savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on It is the easiest to ship. We
alone spare it to them: By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles And we
do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous IN the
hour of need. It has given corn in such bounty
