This is one reason the American at
home is limited to two pounds OF sugar
per month.
Approximately one hundred million
cans OF milk were bought for the army
during the first six months OF this year.
The Government bought more than a
half billion pounds Of flour from Janu-
AIRY to August and used large quantities
Of substitutes besides.
Official estimates are that an army Of
three million men will use within year

j. S. GAS MASKS
ARE BEST IN USE

German poison gas holds no ter
rors for American troops. There is
not a single case on record OF an
American soldier falling victim to
a gas attack when protected by an
American gas mask.
This is the outstanding fact in an
official report on gas warfare on the
western front just made public by the
War Department. American trenches
in the present advance are being
drenched by the Germans with deadly
mustard" shells. These efforts to
block the progress of the offensive
have proved utterly futile, the re-
port said.
The gas mask with which the
American troops are equipped has
been proved in field tests to AFFORD
twenty times the protection given by
the German mask. All cases of gas
poisoning are due to carelessness, the
report said, and the victims should
therefore be court-martialed, not dec
Grated
German masks will not give pro-
lection against a high concentration
of gas. This was demonstrated when
the British assembled a battery of
projectors capable of putting 10 tons
OF Phozgene gas into the air at once.
THE consequences are quite we'll
known to the German general stan"
the report added. On the other hand
there is no concentration OF gas the
American mask will not defy. Allied
officers frankly admit 1t is the best
mask in use on the western front.
The first American units going
abroad used British masks. but since
that time American masks have been
in sufficient numbers to

SAYS TWO BILLION
COULD Be SAVED

That an efficient system of making
appropriations and OF expending Gov.
eminent money in the departments
would save the country at least
1000, 100000 OF the expenditures
which will be made this fiscal year,
Is the assertion of Senator Kenyon
Of Iowa, who will soon address the
Senate on the need for a budget
system.
Senator Kenyon said today the ap-
preparations and authorizations for
this fiscal year would be not less than
$4,000, 900, 900 and would probably
climb to $4,000 OOO, 900.
He is a member or the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee. and has been
In close touch with the DEVELOPMENTS
as to appropriations and likewise as
TO expenditures by the departments.
Senator Aldrich. when the expen-
dttures were about 81 SOC. OO0, 900 a
year estimated that he could save
$500, OOO, 900 IL he could run the Gov
eminent. He meant that under a
properly efficient system an enormous
saving could be made. II we could
save that much then, how much more
could be saved now by an efficient
system? 1 am putting 1t very con-
servatively when / say we could save

first half Of 1918 was only 81 500. 900.
a reduction of ;30o, 900 from the same

Buy Vegetables In France.

For cantonments in this country
alone the army purchased for August
requirements a total of more than o.,
900 900 pounds of potatoes and onions
General Pershing's army obtains most
of its fresh vegetables in France.
Proving that the American army,
at home and abroad, is in excellent
appetite here are a batch OF figures
covering purchases:
For the eight months ending July !,
the army bought so much sugar that
the sugar sacks would make a solid
wall four feet wide and five feet high
from Baltimore to Washington.
Purchases from the 1917 pack of
tomatoes were so great that II the
cans were placed end to end the line
wouIu extend from the army on the
Marne to the California coast. About
IS 600, 900 cans Of tomatoes were pur-
chased from the 1917 pack.
More than 6O,0OOO00 pounds of cof-
fee will be consumed by the army
abroad and at home during the year.
The army is now purchasing 600
600. 900 cans of canned vegetables. For
the next year 1t is estimated that

The coffee is-roasted just before 1t is
groud for. brewing, consequently the
ldaily supply is fresh and has a fraE-
rant aroma.
Feeding methods in the various
armies are different. The British. for
instance. have four meals a day-an
extra meal for tea" The American
soldier cares absolutely nothing
about o'clock tea and the British
habit has no hold upon him. He'd
rather have a bottle OF pop" before
turning in at night.
The present army ration is evolved
from the study OF the table of the
average American family.
No Experiments Tried.
No experiments are being tried on
the American soldier, and theorists
may try out their theories elsewhere.
Food experts are consulted, of course,
but only foods which have stood in
popular favor back home are fed to
the American army. The fighting man
in France wants good, wholesome
food. and doesn't care a hang about
the number of calories ii contains.
The army ration consists OF twenty
seven articles. 1t weighs about four
and a half pounds. and costs approx
mately IS cents per day per man.
In France the soldier gets good.
soft bread, made from pure wheat
flour. Field bakers must work
swiftly. and il is not practicable to
utilize flour mixtures. In the canton
ments wheat-saving substitute rules
are more or less used.
The emergency ration OF the soldier
is that which is carried "over the top"
Il -
each man, and Is to be used only in
cases Of great emergency. 1t consists
OF ground meat and wheat compressed
into a cake, and a block OF sweet choc
olate.
Preserve Ration for Trenches.
There is also a reserve ration for
the trenches when they are under
heavy fire and hot food is impossible.
This ration is prepared in a gssprOof,
camouflaged sealed container. AMI
consists OF enough food for twenty
five men for ono day. The best OF
products is put into this ration. which
contains soluble coffee for use with
cold water when hot IL unobtainable.
Here are a few army prices for the
month Of July. showing that the
United States has somewhat the ad:

The base price for army beef was

Hams and bacon were purchased at
