Near some disputed bowl of spuds
When men come round in soldiers
buds
And shouted orders fill the air
/ have a rendezvous with Mess
Where roams the hunger of a bear.
1t may be they shall call for egg
And yell at me to shake leg
Or ask for quail on water cress-
1t may be they shall ask for cream.

At some plain table SCARED and
scanned
When morning mess comes round
today
And in swarms hungry Section A.
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Sunk in the sharp and smelly straw
Where SHORES give proof of blissful
sleep
Which takes no heed of X. p. law,
Where rude awakenings cost dear
But I've a rendezvous with Mess
Ere reveille sounds out so clear.
And | to soldiers creed am true;

ITALY'S WAR MOTIVES HIGH
Could Have Had Austrian Provinces
BY Shaving Neutral.

ROME, Oct. (By aiD.-Captain
Fiorello H. La Guardia, the New YORK
congressman. who is at the headquar.
tiers of the combat division of the Unit.
ed States Army Air Service in the war
zone, said today:
The aspirations of Italy are per-
haps not clearly understood by the
average American. Italy entered this
war for the same reasons that we en-
tered ito make the world a fit and
safe place to live in. 1t must not be
forgotten that Italy could have OBJ
tanned the greater part of Italian
provinces taken from her by Aus
tria years ago had she consented to
remain neutral.
In keeping with their traditions as
democratic people, the Italians
could not and would not accept such
terms and remain the friends or allies
of barbarous and despotic Germany.
The violation of Belgium's neutrality
and the treatment of the Austrians in
the Balkans would not permit Italy TO
remain aloof from and to profit by
friendship with Austria or
Germany.
1T is the duty of every American
with Latin blood in his veins to make
this clear to his fellow citizens"

LIGHT DIET FOR COLDS FIRST
Usual Food For Second PeriOd-Heayy
Meals Later to Aid Recovery,

Prevalence Of influenza in Washing
ton. d. c.. has meant that something
must be done towards feeding those
confined to their rooms with no one to
care for them. The experimental
kitchen of the United States Food Ad-
ministration has promptly gone about
this work sending out quantities
of soup, custards, milk and crackers
every day.
These are Just such foods as one
should eat during the first stages of
a cold. The fact that colds may turn
into something worse. especially dur
ing such an epidemic as the present.
should be sufficient warning to any
one to call a doctor at once and be
careful to eat properly, that the cold
may be quickly thrown off.
During the first few days eat a light
laxative diet of low fuel value, letting
hot lemonade or Orangeade, brOths or
gruels with crisp toast, baked pota-
toes. mild stewed fruits and vegetables
and milk be the chief articles of diet.
This should be followed with a diet
of ordinary fuel value and then as soon
as the cold seems to be broken" by
one of higher fuel value than usual
so as to aid the body in recovering.
