MILLION POUNDS
OF BREAD DAILY,
U.S.bAKERY PACE
Great City of Tents Marks
Site Where Two Thousand
Yankees Make Staff
of Life.

American Advance Zone, France.
Oct, Nov. 7.-(Correspondence of
Associated ss.)-Two thousand
soldier-bakers turning out a million
pounds of bread a day-this is the
vast animated work one sees here
at the American army field bakery,
which supplies the staff of life to
the American army in the entire
area of the advance zone.
1t is a bakery of tents, unlike the
ordinary bakery within brick walls
and with whizzing machinery, but
field bakery right out in the open
air and open fields, half a military
encampment and half an industrial
city, and like all army camps, CAP
able of being picked up and trans
ported to another point in, few
hours.
City of Tents.
A city of tents marks the site Of
this huge camp bakery, along the
country roadside about a mile out
side of the large cities of the ad-
vance zone-nameless as are all
places III the zone of advance. The
camp stretches over many acres,
~ lately ploughed ground of big
farm, but now humming with the
activity OF huge productive enter
prise. Above the tents one sees
countless smoke-stacks of the bake
ovens, belching black smoke, and in
the open air hundreds of soldiers,
stripped to the waist, bending over
the huge masses of dough, and hun
dreds more manipulating the loaves
in the huge battery of ovens.
The daily bread train was about
to start for the front as we arrived.
Although the camp is in the fields,
yet spurs of railway have been run
alongside, and each day this huge
train goes forward so that every
American division and every camp
along the whole front gets its supply
with unfailng regularity. The train
was nearly half mile long, with
some so box cars loaded solid from
floor to roof, 10000 pounds to the
car, or a million pounds of bread to
the train.
Flour Quality Fails.
Near by another train was dis
charging huge stacks of flour
straight from American wheat fields
and milling centers of the west and
northwest. 1t comes in 90 and lao
pound sacks, of the best standard |
grades, for nothing is TOO good for
the foodsof the fighting man. OF
late, however, said the escort, some
of this -four from far western points
has not been up to the high
standard, indicating that the rush OF
an enormous shipment had led to a
falling off in quality.
The soldiers laboring among the
flour sacks have now begun to look !
themselves like -four sacks. for they
have adopted a strange uniform, in
which the empty flour sacks take
the place of sleeveless shirts. The
sacks are slit at the side for the arm
holes. They are OF rough white
bagsing, much cooler, the men say,
than the, army undershirt. Each
sack has flaming red and blue let
tiers of its brand. and as they work
are resplendent with the whole range
of American flour brands in the -four
sack shirts.

Pick and Shovel, Important.

When the American infantryman
landed in France, particularly those
who had not been taught modern
methods Of trench warfare before
leaving the States, and was handed a
pick and shovel to be included in his
fighting equipment he was astonished
at first. But the young man vas adept
at learning, even with a pick and
shovel, although many of them at
home had been clerks and held SINH
lar positions, and 10Y those tools are
the most highly priced Of all.

You needn't coax sick children to
take this harmless "fruit laxative -
they love its delicious taste, and it
always makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
california Syrup of Figs" which has
directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown.ups plainly on the
bottle. Beware of c%ounterfeits sold
here. To be sure you get the genuine,
ask to e that it is made by the "Cali-

any other kind with contempt.-Adv.
