civvies, especially the women, they
were bad enough.
We had one bucket In each barracks,
and as these buckets were used for
both washing and drinking, they were
always dirty. We boiled the water
when we washed the clothes, to get
rid Of the coolies, and that left a
settling In It that looked just like red
lead. We had to get the water from
q hydrant outside Of the barracks, and
for a while we drank 1t. But after
several Of the boys had gone west
and we could not figure out why, a
man told us he thought the water was
poisoned, and a Russian doctor, who
was prisoner, slipped us word about
1t also. So, after that, very few of

there was always plenty Of snow in
Germany, and even 1uckier that the
Huns did not shoot us for eating 1t.
It was about the only thing they did
not deprive us Oft was not verboten.
I thought knew what tough coolies
were, in the trenches, but they were
regular mollycoddles compared to the
pets we had in the prison camps. After
we boiled our clothes we would be
free from them for not more than two
hours, and then they would come
back, with re-enforcements, thirsting
for vengeance.
The camp at Neustrelitz was sur
rounded by big dogs, which were kept
just outside the barbed wire. We had
them going all the time. Every once
in while, some fellow would make
an awful racket, and the next thing
we knew, there was Fritz coming like
a shot, with musket at his hip, just
as they carry them in charge, and
blowing whistles at each other until
they were blue in the face. When

United States i0od administration be
iievc.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in Il state of health and

tried recipes, especially when COM

corn was ii times the sole ration of

Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by The war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the milIcrs and Consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
To-day there are Approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American coOniStS from famine On
many occasions, just as it served as Il
staple food during the War Of the Rev

Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed Use in the making of ordinary white
bread Hundreds of housewives and
many of tie larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavcned bread. This
kind Of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and With the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-uSing corn meal entire
ly-is gaining Il greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means a pound
OF wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is aSsOci-

There are score Of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance

FEDERAL DIRECTORS
FOR ALL RAILROADS.
McAdn" Plans to- Avoid Disrupting
any Roads Working Organiza-
tion Unnecessarily.

Washington, May 21.-Every rail
road president in the United States
was relieved from active duty as ex-
ecutive manager of his road today by
Director General McAdoo, who will
appoint federal director for each
road, responsible only to the railroad
administration. In many cases the
president of the railroad may be
named federal director.
To safeguard the interests of
stockholders and maintain the indi-
viduality of each railroad, federal
directors, whenever possible, will be
appointed from among the operat-
ing offices of the property, the direc-
tor general announced This will
avoid disrupting any roads working
organization unnecessarily.
AS another step in the reorgani-
zation of railroad management the
dlrector-general ordered the creation
OF two new operating districts, the
Allegheny region, consisting of the
principal trunk lines east of Pitts
burg, including the New York Cen
tral, to be managed by c. H. Mark
South. and the Pocahontas district.
consisting of the East and West
trunk lines terminating at Hamp-
ton Roads
Regional directors for the Pocah-
ontas and for the Southern district
to succeed Mr.. Markham will be ap-
pointed. Mr.. a. H. Smith, at New
York, will continue to act as region
al director for that part of the East
not inducted into the new Allegheny
district, and district directors will be
appointed to serve under him as SUI
perVlsors of roads in New England
and for the section between Pitts
burg and the Mississippi river and
north of the Ohio river.
! Other smaller operating districts
VIII be created from time to time in
the Southern and Western region
now operated as units by regional
directors.
The first act of the director-gen.
eral today in executing this new pol
icy was the removal of C. w. Hunt
lngton, president of the Virginiap
railway, as chief operating officer
on the charge that he failed to carry
out promptly the railroad admins,
tratloE instructions regarding the
repair and maintainance of his line
Ihls was thought to be the fore run.
ner of similar deposition of a number
OF other railroad presidents, but an.
nouncement of the plan for whole.
sale replacement of railways presi-
dents by federal directors came as
genuine surprise at this time.
