FEEDING TROOPS OVERSEAS TAXES
 GREA1 TONNAGE

TOURS, Central France.-The American army in Europe could be fed and clothed and all its creature comforts looked after for three months if not another pound of supplies was secured This was the statement made here by officers of the army Quartermaster's Depart ment which directs this mammoth work of supplies.
 It gives an idea of the vast stock of reserve resources stored in the miles of warehouses stretching from the coast inland to the fighting line, and it is a comforting assurance too that this huge reserve will be kept up through the coming winter period so that the American sol diers' warmth, as well as his food and clothing, will be fully looked after.
 It is a huge undertaking to feed million men even for a single day-a million men scattered to a thousand points, in trenches, on battlefieds and camps, along 300 miles of front and for a depth of 500 miles. And when are added housing and clothing, and the pe- riod is extended through the winter months of cold and frost, with the prospect of another million or two men may be headed this way before long-with these elements one gets some idea of the magnitude of the supply problem for a million or more men.
 Here at the center of the sys- tenn, where the receipts are regu- lated and the distribution made, i there was an opportunity of learn ing some of the details of how the system operates.
 In the food branch alone, it takes over four million pounds of food every day to feed the army. This prodigious daily consumption of food embraces million pounds of flour baked into million pounds of bread every day, S75,000 pounds of fresh beef, S75,000 pounds of potatoes, 23O,00O pounds of sugar and 125,OOO pounds of tomatoes. The peper and salt for single day is 42,500 pounds.
 Army coffee is roasted at the rate of 10000 pounds day, and it takes 10000 pounds of solidifed alcohol to cook this coffee through the month.
 The beef is the bulkiest product used each day, and occupies daily space of 45,OOO cubic feet, or about the dimensions of a business block, of solid meat. Flour comes next; requiring 25,000 cubic feet of daily space, and potatoes about the same. -~-...:..
 These are only few of the main items. But the list runs all through the many requirements of the over sea army ration, with vast uanti- ties in each case. Here are some of the other daily items:
 Bacon 225,000 pounds, beans, 75,OOO pounds, rice 5O,O0O pounds, onions 25O,0OO pounds, evaporated fruit 10000 pounds, jam 70,OO0. pounds, milk 62,5OO pounds, vine gar 10000 pounds, lard 40 01o pounds, butter 31.OO0 pounds, syrup 10000 pounds.
 These being included in the over sea ration, everyone of the million men is entitled to his full allow ance and it must go forward to him wherever he is. So that besides the vast daily stock there is the ques- tion of unfailing daily delivery first by railways and camion trains, and then to the individual soldier.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-07


 Often on the field or in the trenches he is supplied from mar mites, or huge thermos bottles carry ing hot food for eight men, and often too the delivery in the trench es is by the Yukon pack used in Alaska and by the Hudson Bay voy- agers and Indians.
 Besides this four million pounds of food moving forward daily to the troops, each man carries with him two days emergency ration, five pounds to the man, or an addi- tional five million pounds of food for an army of a million men. Of the emergency ration, carried on the back, there is outstanding every day two million pounds of corned beef and two million pounds of hardtack, 3OO,OOO pounds of sugar, 62,500 pounds of coffee, 10000 pounds of salt and 5OO,O0O pounds of solidified alcohol for heating and cooking while on march.

OLO SEED GROWS
 IN UTAH GARDENS

SALT LAKE CITY.-Wheat seed, estimated to be 1000 years old, which was planted in a community war garden in this city for ex- perimental purposes, has proved most successful, according to an announcement just made by W. J. Newman, former city councilman here. The seed was found in ruins of the cliff dwellers in Southern Utah by Professor Byron Cum mings, formerly with the University of Utah.
 The seed was precented to the Deseret Museum. It was found in tightly sealed bottle of Indian origin and Professor Cummings said was oviously of great age, possibly 1000 years. Mir. Newman was given 10 kernals to experiment with
 These were planted on May 10 of this year and cultivated in a com munity war garden by Mir. New mans son.
 Of the 10 seeds, nine grew. The nine produced 69 heads of grain, averaging 75 kernels to the head, total of 5,175 kernels. These are being preserved for further experi- ments to determine their produc- tiveity. The kernels are about three times the size of Turkey red wheat kernels, and already number of inquiries for samples from scientific farmers have reached MT. Newman.

At tbs time of the year people feel
weak. tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tngling thru their body. Good. pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against Ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and iInpov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

meals, and for vegetable tonic there's

of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.

employments In which the 100000
railroad workers engage would be a

AT the outset, IT was seen that there
were grave inequalities in the rates of
wages paid. But who could say what
relationship each class of employees
should bear to the other? Abstractly,
why should an engineer receive S1T0
per month and telegraph operator
