Food Hint for TODAY
What They Ate to Win In 1916.

"Hdt Iney Ate 10 WIN III 100.
Among the George Washington rec
ords at the Congressional Library in
Washington, ID. c., is the old account
book of Caleb Gibbs. who bought the
supplies for WashingtOn's staff all
through the seven years of the Rev
olutionary War. Its pages are vel
low, and the ink is faded, but the old
hero's records are still clear. and it
is interesting to see what the fighters
of those days ate.
The book began in April, 1776. when
WashingtOn's headquarters were in
New York City on Pearl street, Oppo-
site Cedar. At this time the war had
not yet affected prices to any extent
The first purchases on April 10. were
seven pounds of beef at sixpence a
pound; one tongue at three shillings;
four pounds of butter at one shilling,
sixpence a pound; salad and sell
lery," one shilling; six birds at one
shilling; and a shillings worth of
potatoes. There was no sugar at all.
\ shilling in those days was thirteen
and half cents in our modern mon
ey. so you can see that Caleb Gibbs
expense account was not very large
according to our standards today.
There was not much variety in the
war diet of 1875. On page after page
we find beef, cabbage, salt, milk, but
ter, asparagus. bacon, nuts, cider
Asparagus, cabbage and potatoes, and
occasionally cucumbers are the only
vegetables mentioned.
There were some of the same food
problems then as We have now. Trans
portation was the cause of shortages.
just as it often is today, but then il
was the OX-teams that broke down as
they dragged along the country roads,
or were blocked by military trans
port

the states were taxed to provide mon
ey for feeding the Army, but later
they were required to send the food

NJ. y. GIRLS SHOW METTLE
IN INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

University women have been nursed
exclusively by these volunteer nurses.
under the instruction of Mrs. Selbert.
There have been a total of twenty-six
cases in Read Hall, and all of them
were there at one time. The girl who
have been doing the nursing have done
so well that they are now being sent to
the emergency hospitals for men to
act as nurses aids there. Ten of
them are now working in that capac-
ity.
Many University girls who do not
feel strong enough to do nursing vol
unteered to do other necessary things.
Twenty-one girls registered to run
errands, and ten persons, enght OF them
University girls, have given the use
of their cars to the hospitals. -Four
girls are now acting as telephone girls
in the hospitals.
Mrs NOyes says she hopes that the
work done by University girls dur
ing this epidemic will bring about a
permanent organization through which
the girls may get instruction enough
to enable them to be great help dur
ing the reconstruction period.
University women are also helping
in the work of making sputum cups.
This work is in charge Of Miss Ella V
DObbs, professor of manual arts. Four
dozen of these cups are supplied the
hospitals each day. The women OF the
Library staff have been especially
helpful in meeting this need, accord
ing to Miss DObbs.

University women have played and
are continuing to play an important
and helpful part in handling the Span
ish influenza situation in Columbia.
according to Mrs. Guy L. Noyes, who

Moves, says, which they have refused
to do when called upon.

Thirty of these girls have been ac-
lively at work in Read Hall for al
most two weeks. Their work has been
directed by Mrs. Louis Selbert. who is
registered Red Cross nurse.
Twenty town women and University
instructors have acted as supervisors
there. The girls have worked in three

though the cost of living continues to

hero has taken a sudden slump.
Premier Clemenceau issued an or

Originally soldiers were charged
