will meet these requirements as far as
possible.

Because Of the greatly increased
needs of the territory adjacent to the
Atlantic seaboard and the transporta-

Except for such changes each operator
will distribute his tonnage as during
1861. In case there is need of d.

changed conditions this will be done.
The district representatives named
above have the figures as to the ton
mage sent into each state and COM

NO PLACE FOR HUNGRY DOG.

The army garbage can formerly had
big NAV but now a dog would

thrown from the army kitchen. The
plain fact is that bones don't get
into the garbage can-they are sold
According to reports gathered from
army posts and stations in the
southern department by Col. Daniel

master, one can holds the garbage
which has formerly filled three. Six
gallons is the waste from the aver
age army kitchen and a goodly por-
ton Of this is potato peeling, with
mighty little of the potato on the
peeling.
Mess sergeants have been caution
ed about waste of food and their
diligence has, to great extent
brought about the elimination OF
much Of this waste. The mess ser
geants at one Texas camp adopted
new set Of Ten Commandments
all dealing with food conservation
These were printed in red ink on
heavy cards and posted in every
mess shack. They read:
/. Don't allow man to throw
away ANY edible food.
2. Don't make the first helping
heavy.
8. Warn kitchen police to serve
food sparingly.
4. Don't help man to any food
he does not ask for.
5. Don't give man more than
two slices of bread at helping.
6. Make each man eat all that he
puts on his plate
Z. Watch your men while eating
and see that no food is left on the
table.
s. Watch each man as he empties
his mess kit at a garbage can.
3. Allow no man to take any food
out of mess hall.
10. Impress upon the men the i'm
portance of food conservation.
1t is estimated that it costs an av-
erage of 80 to II cents day to feed
each soldier in the department. The
quartermaster department puts the
figure at $12 per month for each
man. This is for the food unprepar-
ed. 1t is estimated that one-twelfth

Col. Mccarthy in discussing the
soldiers food said: "It's remarkable
to observe the change in the recruit,
the transformation of the, undevel-
oped boy into the round soldier. The
country boy changes expression
quickly when he gets on army diet,
and the city boy fattens, too. Then
after they have let their belts out
several notches, they get sassy and
complain about the army Chow
The average soldiers breathing

causes, to the effectiveness of army

Grant and Lee Meet
and Shake Hands in
U. S. Training Camp

A recent dispatch from Camp Wads-
worth, Sparanburs, S. c. gives the
following interesting story:
There was an echo OF civil war days
here when Second Lieutenant U. S.
Grant of the ordnance reserve corps
paid a. friendly call upon First Lieu
tenant Robert E. Lee of the Second
Pioneer infantry at the latters tent.
Grant is a grandson and a namesake
Of the great union general, and Lieut..
Lee is a sreat-nephew and namesake
of the confederate cheftAin.
Lieutenant Grant received his COM
mission in the ordnance corps only
few days ago. He came here last Sep
tember as a private in the 1%0th and
Second ammunition train, and was
later made a corporal He is one
of the most popular men in his com
pany and won a commission as the
result Of a special examination. He
will probably be assigned to duty In
government laboratory or munitions
plant, because Of his knowledge of
chemistry. Lieutenant Lee was grad
uated from the officers training school
at Fort Myer last summer sent to
camp Mead, and transferred here
about a month ago.
The meeting between the two young
officers Was arranged By Lieut.. Col.
Franklin W Ward, adjutant Of the
Twenty seventh division. He told Lieut..
Grant il would be graceful thing FOR
him to do to call on Lieutenant Lee and
welcome him to Camp Wadsworth.
Lieutenant Grant hesitated for mo-
ment for ne is modest chap, but &C
cepted the suggestion and went over.
Lieutenant Lee gave him hearty
welcome. "Come right in he said,
cordially. 'T had heard of you and in
tended to look you up.
