half dozen buildings of many -acred
floors, they are helping tend the au-
tomato machinery that mixes white

the sheets into pieces, and runs the
pieces on trays over endless belts into
ovens, from which they come out
scorching hot as hard biscuits.
No hands touch the product from
the time it leaves the flour sack to
the time it comes out crisp and brown
and hot. A
While the hard bread is still warm,
it is packed in the paper cartons in
which it finally reaches the men at
the front.
Incidentally, hard bread is probably
the simplest and purest baked pro-
duct the soldier eats. 1t has two in
gredients-f1our and water. There's
an art in mixing the flour and water
in the proper percentages, and the
percentages vary according to the
flour.

also are baking "petits beurres" for
the army-the best of those little but

bought in France. These are suprli-
ed at cost to the commissaries for re.

An interesting and unusual piece
Of engineering has changed a ship,
which for years has been the floating

Since the outbreak Of the war it
has served as receiving ship for the

GEN. GORGAS' REPORT

While Surgeon General Gorgas'
report on health in the military
camps shows that earlier reports
were too optimistic, there is still
much in the sanitary condition
of the camps to be thankful for.
Typhoid fever has BEEN mastered
and nothing in his reports as pub
lisbed here indicates that such dis
eases as are contracted while SOL
diers are on leave have become a
serious factor in the situation.
Two factors appear to have been
most important in bringing about
the spread of measles pneumonia
and meningitis. One was the lack
of separate camps for new men.
where they could be detained and
the infected men discovered and
isolated before the newcomers min.
gled with the men in camp The
other was overcrowding in the
tents.
Both of these causes 90 back to
the haste with which the camps
and environments were set up.
Work is being pushed with a view
to supplying the deficiencies which
the Surgeon General points out, and
the lessons now learned will not be
forgotten when future troop move.
ments are undertaken. Presumably
the policy for the future will not be
TO move men from their homes to
camps more rapidly than the medi,
cal officers in each camp can handle
them and weed out the infected re-

WAS NEVER PAID

During the Civil War there was
much said about the immense war
debt and many people predicted
that it would never be paid, but it
was and with dollars worth 100
cents each. When the war closed
and that great victorious army
made that famous march down
Pennsylvania Ave in the national
capital the boys were cheered by a
loyal people from the beginning to
the close of the march and were
given a welcome home that was so
enthusiastic and sincere that the
event was never forgotten, but the
one thing that made the deepest
impression on their minds were the
placards in the windows of all
buildings along the line of march
which read: There is one debt we
never can pay. 1t is the one we
owe to the Union soldiers" That
debt has never been paid. The
country will owe a debt to our
soldier boys of today it can never
pay if they are placed on the firing
line in France.
