sand women will be needed by July

sick and wounded of the American
army. Surgeon General Gorgas stated

THE HOUSEHOLD
The Trend In Breakfast.


Are We Americans increasing the
size Of our breakfasts or decreasing
IL?
The sort of generalization required
to answer . question OF that kind, of
course, pres1pposes an amazing inti-
macy with the manners and customs
of an amazingly large humber of
families. In fact, an answer that
would contain any sort OF scientific
accuracy would be impossible unless
questions on the relative size of
family breakfast now and a few years
ago were made part of the data re-
Quired by the next census investi-
cations.
But we can all make q guess, bear
ing in mind, of course, that our guess
relates only to the relatively few fam
lilies and individuals with whom we
have a personal acquaintance.
And to a good many of US 1t would
seem that breakfast is getting larger.
A few years ago the tendency in
many places was all the other way.
City folk were getting into the way of
taking a Continental breakfast More
and more people went to Europe, and
there got into the habit of taking the
things that the country-bred person
on coming to live in the city, did was
to abandon his rural breakfast of
''meat and potatoes" and pancakes. In
fact, the light breakfast was regarded
as something of an earmark of urbape
breeding. There was even a fad for
no breakfast at all, and there were not
found wanting doctors who would at
tempt to show their patients certain

Now, in spite Of the fact that we are
far closer TO France than ever before,
and have taken lots of good ideas from
her concerning improved modes Of ltv-
iag, ana shall continue to take more
and more a. our boys come back from
over there, still 1t doesn't seem that IN
the same homes where the breakfast
was diminishing 1t Is still on the wape.
In fact, in many homes 3 heavier
breakfast il taken now than has been
the custom for many years. Eggs are
high, yet they are more generally eaten
for breakfast than they were before
the war, and cereal breakfast foods are
actually consumed in larger amounts
than ever before.
One expla nation is that more women
are doing real strengthening work
than ever before, or rather more than
they have been doing for several dec
AIDES. Moreover. there are fewer late
suppsrs, and whsn there are no late
suppers there are not apt to be so
many appetitsless breakfasts. Be
tween meals are less frequent, and so
mealtime appetites have been stimu-
lated.

Feeding The Big Guns.

You never can picture the am
munition wagons frantic contortions
during an action unless you have
seen them.
And then, in spite of your own
bruised and aching body, you feel a
thrill at the sight. Few correspond
ents, says the Paris editor of the
London Mail have mentioned the
ammunition wagons because few
correspondents have seen the am-
munition wagons in action when its
half-mad drivers standing up in
their boxes tugeing at the reins of
their frightened. maddened horses,
with the crashing of the shells a.
round making the most terrible din
imaginable.
No picture by Cation Woodville OF
anybody else exaeeerates the origi.
nal one bit. The job of the drivers
is to get their loads of shells up to
the guns 1t does not matter
whether the enemy is sweeping the
rear roads with shrapnel or heavy
explosive or gas shells The am,
munition wagon has just got to
keep going right on till it reaches
its destination.
Ask any of the boys who were
through the last big fight "oveI
there" when the German shells were
plastering the roads for miles be-
hind and the airplanes were hover
ing above the wagons trying to drop
bombs on them Ask any of the
officers who were needing more am
munition fortheir batteries They'll
tell you about the ammunitio Z
wagons.
The horses became terrified and
began to plunge they always do
they can't help it-and the rain o
shells became heavier every
hundred yards.

The American Army

When all the difficulties on both
sides are duly considered it is fairly
Certain that the military historians
of the future will give America. far
greater credit for rushing the first
million troops to France, at this un-
paralleled war crisis, than TO the
German leaders for the magnitude
of their concentration OF men and
materials on the West front. No
such feat of transportation has ever
before been regarded as possible.
And it is the more remarkable IN
view of the fact that America was
at the same time relied upon by
Europe for such vast quantities of
food and of military materials. 1t
would require a volume of
thousand pages to tell in any detail
the story of this transfer of Ameri
cans to Europe-men and boys who
year ago for the most part were
quite ignorant of military matters
and were scattered across this
peaceful continent, engaged in
many pursuits. or in none, aud liv-
ing in every town and county of
our forty-eight States. Mr. are
they merely an assemblage OF
human material in uniforms "a
mob of homesick youths without
discipline or technical requirements.
Their average physical quality is
exceptionally good; their initiative
and morale are probably equal to
those of any other like number of
men in any army; and their disci-
pine and technical training are
amazingly complete for a body Of
soldiery that has as yet had so
little experience under fire. The
process of associatine them tempo
rarily with the French and British
armies (''brigadine") is very rapidly
supplying this need of actual ex-
perience. Already the Americans
in France-not for 1919, as we had
promised, but for 1918 are as
solid reality as any achievements
ever were in a critical campaign.
The American arrival declare the
Allies-is the great military fact of

Does Folk Mean This?

pro German peace telegram before
D we declare war, Mr.. Folk is quoted
as saying IF the Kaiser were to
land at New York he would greet
Senator Whitley and his fellow sign
ers Of the telegram as henchmen."
We hold no brief for Senator
Whitley in connection with that
peace telegram. In our opinion it
shows a lack of judgement and
American telling or an easy yield
ing of conviction to influence, but
does Mr. Folk really believe what
he said when he classed Senator
Whitley now as henchman of the
Kaiser? Would he say this Of his
friend and former political leader,
William Jennings Bryan, who was
an extreme pacifist and defender of
Germany before the war? Would
he say it of Henry Ford and many
other Americans who were ardent
pacifists, and even condoned Ger.
man ruthlessness, but whose loyal
ty to America in the war is un
questioned?
Does he really think that Ameri-
cans who erred in opinion and con,
duct before our declaration of war
ought to be branded now as disloyal
and henchmen of the Kaiser?
We ask this question without
relation to the senatorship or the
fitness of candidates for that Office,
but solely in the interest of fairness
We ask, also, in the interest of
American unity, whether before. the
war opinion on the part of Ameri-
cans shall now be made the test
of loyalty to the country and
whether all who erred before the
war shall be classed as enemies'
If this rule is applied, what becomes
of our unity in the war? Shall we

censing by the government of food dis
tributing agencies and the limiting of
profits on slaughterlng and meat pack
ing to 8 per cent on money employed.
Mr.. Swift also told with pride OF the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches OF the United States
service, and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
