The ladies of the city of Augusta
have given one afternoon a week, Friday,
in coming to the building for the purpose
of mending clothes for the men. Lately
few and it is hardly worth while for them
to come if only three or four men have
torn shorts to be mended. Surely there
are many men who could avail themselves
of this opportunity and so we are to con-
tinue having the ladies come for the next
two weeks. If, during that time, an in
sufficient number of clothes are handed
in we shall have to allow the ladies to go
to another section of the camp where
there is a real demand.
On Thursday we shall have the Minstrel

with us last week. The FOllies of the

and the men have promised us a good
evening of entertainment. Tell your
squad about it and bring the whole
squad-we want to have full house.
The secretaries of No. rs are ready at
any time to do personal favors for the
men of the training camp who have so
little time during the week to themselves.
We shall be glad of the opportunity of

who made the drawing above repro
duced.
Major General Charles H Muir of
the Regular Army, was appointed di-
visional commander of the 28th divis-
ion, az Camp Hancock, succeeding
Major General Clements. We heard
he was an icicle. who seldom deigned
to smile, a martinez, absolutely with
out feeling, and this, in conjunction
with the natural antipathy that exists
between National Guard officers and
officers of the Regular Army imme-
diately - increased the uncertainty.
Then General Muir arrived to start
working on his new job, and his APP
pearance wasn't impressive-at first
But things began to happen imme-
diately in this division The first
thing General Muir did was to clean
OUT division headquarters. which was
a good start. Officers who had been
holding soft jobs went back to the
line" where they had to work like real
soldiers and deliver the goods. Then

Within three days after General
Muir had assumed command here he
had sent out an order forming a train
ing board, which consists of the lieu

working under Major Fuqua of the reg

vision is assistant chief of staff as
chief Of this training board. 1t is the
duty Of this training board to formu-
late a schedule of training in weekly

five cents bought . substantial and savory meal. including hot soup. meat. potato, two side vegetables, salad pie or pudding. and coffee. And every body could have as much bread and butter as he wanted. A rather hu- morous incident happened on this oc- casion. though to the participants 1t seemed rather tragic than humorous. A very pretty amateur waitress i'm advertently spilled plate of tomato soup down the back of an immaculate ly clad young naval officer. There were many waitresses and many trays and the aisles between tables were narrow. The woe of the little walt ress may be imagined, but the young officer was gallant and sweet tenn pered. He was wiped off and sopped off between laughter and a few tears --on the part of the pretty girl. Fi- nally they departed together to her home, just around the corner to be washed and ironed by the family laundress." And one foresaw the be- ginning of a possible romance.

the operation of one of these bread cutters at a Y. M. c. A. canteen last Sunday night. One young woman op- erated the bread cutter and another stood beside her at the long table and gathered up the slices as they fell from the cutter. a slice every second. The slices were stacked in piles and then cut through with sharp knife, each whole slice being divided in two Another young woman put the divided stacks on wooden trays. and one of the pretty volunteer waitresses car ried the trays to the long tables where sat the happy, hungry soldier and sailor boys. Each young man was apportioned so much bread and so much butter-so that there would be no waste-but more bread and but ter was cheerfully provided when asked for.
 The supper furnished at this can teen was exceedingly good and unbe- lievably moderate in price. Twenty

\ Bread Gutter That Saves for Uncle Sam and You

days when so many mouths need food
 and when the armies are to be fed
 and well fed, in order to keep up their
 greatest efficiency. There are twenty
 million families in the United States and if each family wastes one slice oi bread a day--only one slice, mind you --over a million loaves of bread will | have been wasted. And million loaves of bread wasted means the
 waste of five million bushels of wheat ! the product of over s50,000 acres ot 1 land. Rather staggering figures those, are they not, when you think of one little slice of wasted bread being pitched into the refuse pail of every l family. And how few refuse pails there are--or have been in past years, that have not held at least one dis carded bit of bread daily.
 Self-sacrifice of delicacies and ut most care in conserving essentials of food is going to play a big part in the winning of the war. Going with out sugar In one's tea, cutting down on ones supply of pastries and cakes. eating one piece of porterhouse in-
 
 mullins as well as the snow white wheat ones of other days--all these cost so little in comfort, besides the real discomforts that are being en- dured by the gallant soldiers who are fighting our battles for us. And if a crumb of valuable bread can be saved a day, by all means let it be saved. If d slice a day, per family, means millions of loaves, even a crumb day has important value.
 The Save-A-Loaf bread cutter in the picture is only little sister of the big, clever bread cutter that slices loaves for the soldiers and sailors. This official bread cutter works much faster and the bread Is cut in me chanical way, each thrust of handle in the machine bringing down sharp knife that clips off slice while the loaf is automatically pushed forward for the next slice. The writer watched
