people are accustomed to talk as
though the Germans had all the sci
ence and were the only people who
took the food chemist into council.
The truth is that the British have as
much science but a good deal more hui
maneness, and part of the bumaneness
is to keep the scientific calculations
in the background.
In regard to cooking the Royal Army
Medical Corps confess to an inferiorlty
in British skill. As compared with
the French, we are nation OF bad
cooks. The most strenuous efforts are
being made, and have been made for
long time, to raise the standard or
army cooking 1t is very much better
now than st the start Of the war; but
1t still will not stand well in COMPARE
son with the general French skill In
combining economy with savory results.
But the cooking is better and will yet
be better; and when the British army
come marching home it will have the
knowledge to raise greatly the stand

pain and the evils of war bring GOOD

and Louisa Carver SAT lerly, was

Besides his parents. he leaves to
mourn their loss two brothers. S. D.,
residing on part of the home place,
in France, and two sisters, Mrs.
Elsie, at home.
At the time he was called into
service he was assisting his brother
at home with farm duties. He en-
trained at Keolluk, Iowa, the evening
of July 81 for Camp Forrest, Geor-
gia, where he remained in training
in the engineers corps until two
weeks ago, when his company was
moved to Camp Funston, Kansas. He
was there but short time when he
was taken to the base hospital at
Fort Riley, where he died of bron-
chial pneumonia. His parents spent
the last few hours with him there.
He went very willingly and cheer
fully to serve his country. He liked
camp life and wrote very cheerful
letters home, often saying, Don't
think I'm blue, for I'm not" He was
a home loving boy and will certainly
be missed in the family circle. He
was a great lover of nature, and
every moment he could spare from
farm duties he spent with his favor
lite pastimes, reading and hunting.
In a letter of coincidence to his
parents, his captain wrote: His
service while with the company was
most excellent. He was beloved by
every member OF the com pany, and
his companions feel his loss deeply"
In another letter of coincidence, Ma
Tor General Leonard Wood wrote:
81 wish to EXPIRES to you my sympa-
thy and my appreciation OF his serv-
ices. Hugh Satterly gave his life in
his country's service just as unself-
ishly and freely as they are giving
theirs who are dying on the battle
field in the great cause for which
we are all fighting. He gave the
most that one can give. that the
right may prevail"
The body arrived Friday accom-
panied by Private Breidert, a mem
her of Hugh's company. The funeral
was held at the home Saturday at
. o'clock D. m, the services being
conducted by Rev. Mason. The body
was laid to rest in plot set aside
for soldiers in the beautiful Gene
tery of Sharon.
