Food for Soldiers E E
y Carefully Inspected
by Quartornaaster Corns !

The Quartermaster Corps, charged
with the responsibility Of feeding
and clothing the soldiers, is fipidlv
Inspecting the food purchased for
the troops to see that only pure ar
ticles are supplied. AS an Indication
OF the amount Of food that must be
obtained, says statement author
lied by the Quartermaster General.
100000 men consume daily 1900, 900
pounds of beef, 225,Oo0 pounds Of
bacon, 100000 pounds of ham, 1885,
900 cans of tomatoes, and 225, 900
cans of jam-with other articles ap-
gregating 6,750,000 pounds
These quantities of foodstuffs are
subjected to thorough inspection,
which begin at the source and con-
tinue until the food is actually con-
sumed. Each depot of the Quarter
master Corps is central subsistence
business of its own, supplying the
camps, environments, aviation fields,
and other posts in it's territory. The
subsistence officers are held respon-
sible for the quality of the goods
they receive. = q
Before the supplies reach the de-
pots, however, they are passed upon
by inspectors in the packing houses,
canneries, and other sources of orig
in. The records at Washington show
the capabilities, character, and stand
ard OF every establishment furnish
ing food for the Army. The specifi-
cations which their products must
meet are clear and exact.

current file of unreliable dealers and

having been equipped with the Unit

devise some plan whereby troops
could be efficiently trained in the
use of this weapon in short time.
a statement authorized by the

members Of United States teams
which won international shooting
matches, We're commissioned and
sent to various camps to instruct Of
ficers and men in shooting and in
the operation and care of the rifle.
In one camp officers under instruc-
tion from these men gave a demon
stration in dismounting and assemb-
ling this rifle while blindfolded, the
record time being z minutes for dis
mounting and % minutes for assemb-
ling: There are 86 parts to the rifle.
These officers in turn instruct me-
chanics classes, the mechanics being
trained to make repairs to rifles in
the field. Frequently they will have
to do their work at night, when they
will not be allowed to use lights,
and therefore they must be thor
oughly trained in taking down the
rife and putting in new parts by
sense of touch.

Night driving of motor-truck sup

termaster's Department as step
toward final training to fit men for

According to- the Council of Ma

in cross country convoy work has
made the truck companies able to
travel entirely independent of the
countryside. Camps are made at the
regular hour, no matter where the
company is located, except that open

The WEEKS FOOD FACT

Follow directions-wheat is the

principal part in the war right now.
Food means, first OF all, WHEAT.
The next two months will tell. Week
by week, because of various hindran-
ces, we have sent overseas less than
the needed quotas-we have eaten in
to our reserve stock of wheat. There
is no leeway now. In our saving or
selfishness is bound up success or
collapse of the cause. Saving or sell
fishness is our triumph or shame.
|, Cut the use of wheat to the limit.
Households should keep within one
and one-haf pounds of wheat -four
per week for each person. Many
households are using no wheat at all.
Public eating places keep within
an equal allowance for every twenty
one meals served. Many hotels and
restaurants are using no wheat at all.
Every purchase of wheat flour
must be accompanied by at least an
equal weight of other cereals. Food
will win the war. Wheat is the test.

Splendid Work BY Woman.

Valuable work was done by DR.. Elsie
Inglis, who died recently. She was the
organizer and head of the Scottish
Women's Hospital units, stated en-
tirely with women, and offered early
in the war to the British government
for service with the forces. Refused
at home, they were accepted by the
French war office, and in the first year
they did valuable work in France.
When typhus broke out in Serbia, Doc
tor Inglis took a unit to that country,
went through the hardships Of the re-
treat and was taken prisoner by the
Austrians. Released in 1916, she set
out for Roumania, where again she
shared in a retreat. From the Dobrud-
ia she eventually took her unit to
southern Russia, but the rigors of this
campaign had told on her and she fell
a victim to overwork and disease. She
brought her unit safely away with her,
but died when port was reached. Doc
tor Inglis was born in India and edu-
Gated in Edinburgh and Paris.

TIMBER NEEDED FOR FRANCE
Virgin Forests of Vast Area in Africa
May Be Drawn Upon for Sup
ply After the war.

France is beginning to figure out
how to meet an anticipated shortage
in lumber and firewood after the war.
The destruction of forests by she'll
fire and the heavy demand for lumber
for barracks and road construction
combine to make deficit of 100000
cubic feet annually.
Beyond the range Of shells, on both
sides of the front, the military
woodsmen's axes have drawn heav-
lily on timber from the North sea to
the Swiss frontier. The consumption
of lumber will increase during the war
at the rate of 100000 cubic feet a
year; and for several years after peace
is made, the demand will continue for
the repair and rebuilding Of devastat-
ed regions.
The solution of the problem is con-
sidered to be question of transporta-
ton, and of forest exploitation in the
colonies. Specialists have calculated
that French equatorial and western
Africa, Madagascar, Guinea and Hin
do-China possess $4,000 square miles
of virgin timber land, which could
amply supply France, and several 9th
er countries with fuel and lumber.

Clothes From Peat.

A very interesting and economical
ly valuable invention, in the field OF
Substitute materials" has recently
seen the light in Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture of a strong textile ma
terial from peat fiber. The inventor
began to study this process 20 years
ago, but, so far, his methods were ham
pered by the drawback that the pro-
cess of manufacture was much too
costly; he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. In
duced by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now at last
in making dress material
from peat on large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial wool, and they
are said to be of great durability. A
factory for the working of the process
wholesale is about to be erected.

When this tube is inflamed you have a

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-

WATER GIVEN MILKING COWS
Test Proves That Animals Drink at
Pond or Creek Only Enough to
Satisfy Cravings.

1t stands to reason that in winter
the water given milking cows should
not be icy. Many farmers boast of
the fact that they own creeks or ponds
to which their cows have access in
cold weather. And while this saves
work and expense, it is hard on the
cows, though the farmers claim it is
not. If you want to test the matter,
let your cows &C to the pond or creek
and drink through the ice. Then,
when you have returned to the sta
bic, carry in water that is not lower
than about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. and
see how your cows will go after it.
This proves that they drink at the
pond or creek only enough to satisfy
their immediate cravings and not
enough to fill their bags with milk.

URGE CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS
Poor Milk, Cream and Butter
Wash Separator.

Much poor milk, cream and butter
are produced because of dirty uten-
sils. 1t is not necessary that the dirt
be present in sufficient quantities to
be seen by the naked eye in order to
render the can unfit for use.
The unclean separator is another
common source of contamination. The
separator should be taken apart and
carefully washed and scalded after
each separation. After the separator
parts and utensils have been cleaned
and dried, they should have clean,
dry appearance and should not be
greasy to the touch.
A greasy coating on the interior of
a milk can will spoil milk or cream in
very few hours. 1t doesn't cost any
more to keep the utensils clean and the
results obtained are more satisfactory
in every way.
