Family pictures and belongings of a personal character are carefully pre- served in little bags to be returned to their owner or his family if that is possible.
 Besides restoring articles for use, every scrap of wool cloth, leather. metal, hat-bands, is saved to be turned into some other form of use full article or is sold The sale of junk, tin cans and scraps last month netted 1S,400 francs.

There were some 100000 blouses, on these towering shelves, and as many more of all the other articles of soldier wear. They were in bundles, looking very fresh and clean, quite like the stock of we'll equipped clothing establishment. The women were arranging the garments in three classes:
 Class A-Garments in good order practically the same as new to be sent back to the front as part of the supply for fighting troops.
 Class B-Garments partly worn out but fully repaired, to be sent to the base ports on the coast, for labor troops and stevedores.
 Class C-Garments much worn but in fair state of preservation, to be sent to prison camps for Ger man prisoners.
 This was significant of what the German prisoners were getting; not the best, to be sure, and not the same goods as our own men, but worn goods in a fair state of pre- servation. It seemed to be an an swer to the outcry that the German prisoners were getting the same as our men.
 One could follow the stages of the huge stacks of hob-nail army shoes from the time they arrived, covered with the mud and grime of the trenches and the battlefield, through process after process of disinfection, cleaning, repairing, grading. until they finally emerged in stocks of substantial wear. Like the gar ments, these were classed to go back to the fighting troops, or to  the stevedores, or to the German prisoners.
 It was the same with the infinite variety of army equipment going through the salvage process, rubber boots and arctics, shelter tents, har- ness for artillery, saddles, brides, stirrups. All of it was on a pro- digious scale, 50,000 garments a day; 1000 pairs of rubber boots a day at the armp price of $2.65 a ! pair. The salvage of all kinds of rubber articles was 99 per cent, or almost a complete saving of every thing received. ! More than a million dollars worth of clothing was saved last month,
 and the magnitude of the work as
 whole can be judged from these ! figures of the output: Shoes $325,- | 120; clothing $1,3O7,O26; harness
 and leather $57,OOO; rubber $9O,- 900; canvas and webbing $35,000. There are some curious things gathered up in this litter. Enough books and magazines are left be-
 hind to stock up several libraries { Pictures and knick-knacks with

a. which is governors day, army and
navy day, Georgia day, north Florida
day and press day at the exposition,
over 5000 soldiers from the camp
will participate in the great military
pageant. Governor Sidney j. Cats
will lead the parade, which will be
over three miles long. He will be
mounted on a spirited horse and at
tended by his entire staff of de-
partmental officers.
In view of the announcement from
Tampa that a press club breakfast
would be held in that city on March
2, which date had been selected as
press club day at the Florida state
fair and exposition, officials of the
state fair and members of the jack
sonville Rotary Club have changed
the press dinner from March 2 TO
Monday, March A, in order not to
conflict with Tampa's plans and to
enable the editors of the Florida
press to visit the state fair and par
ticipate in the military pageant on
