SOLDIERS GET
TASTY DISHES
Hot Cakes, Pies and Mullins
Galore for Overseas
Soldiers.

That the American soldiers are we'll
fed so far as the substantials are
concerned always has been accepted
as a fact. The serving of delicacies-
tasty dishes-in the battle zone. how
ever. has not seemed practical to lay
men unfamiliar with the inner work.
fngs Of the Quartermaster Corps. But
here's an eye-opener:
Hot cakes in the trenches.
Cakes and pies in abundance!
And it's a fact, too. Four million
gallons of syrup have Just been pur-
chased by the SubsiIence Division
for the troops overseas. This will in
sure 100 per cent production by the
griddle artists, and the doughboys
won't have to go shy on the sweeten-
ing
The Yanks are going to have plenty
of milk to go in their coffee also.
More than 100000 worth of evapor-
ated milk has been purchased exclu-
sively for the fighting men. This
quantity is expected to last one
month. Additional supplies will be
obtained in the meantime.
The cakes-griddle and layer-and
pies for Pershing's warriors will have
be made out of real wheat flour. For
consumption during the latter part Of
this month and the month of No
vember 100000 pounds (2S9.796 bar
relsO of -four has been bought. Thirty
million pounds of this will go to the
troops in France.
The Subsistence Division has ar
ranged with the Food Administra-
tion to pay for the flour by sight
I draft. This enables millers to bid
more freely for Government bust
ness, and helps the army buy flour
at a low price.
Although ample quantities of
, sugar are regularly shipped over
seas. syrup will be used to a large
extent in the baking of cakes and
pies. Salmon salad also is destined
to be a popular dish in the war thea
ters this winter. More than lOO.-
100000 cans-One years supply for
the army-has just been contracted
for. Eighty per cent of this Will
be used by the overseas forces. Six
teen ouncs of salmon are equivalent
to twenty ounces OF beef, the army
dietitians estimate. and concentra-
ton Of the product makes it partic-
ularly adaptable to mobile and
trench warfare.
The only danger that the Yanks
won't enjoy bountifuI daily repas SITS
this winter seems to rest in the fact
. that they may be chasing the Ger
mans SO fast that the automobile
kitchens can't keep up with them.

Enterprise of the Eig hties.
The idea of developing the beautiful
hills and plateaus on the Eastern
Branch began to take definite form
in the minds of a few enterprising
men as early as 1885. One of the most
active promoters of the project was
Robert F. Bradbury. who has been
given the deserved cognomen of
pioneer settler of Twining City"
Mr.. Bradbury. who lstilI is very much
alive, is sometimes referred to as the
mayor of Twining City" His pretty
home is at the very entrance to the
picturesque suburb, and he has re-
sided there continuously ever since

the map.

the intersection Of Pennsylvania and

extol the work of the American relief
organization. Among the Americans
present were Ambassador Sharp and
members of the diplomatic corps, and
Henry p. Dawson. chairman OF the

organization.
Mr.. Louis Barthou. Of the Academic
Franchise, formerly prime minister,

of their Red Cross to give some
tangible expression to their SYM
pathy for France and their gratitude

which France afforded to our own
struggling young Republic far back
In the eighteenth century"
Mr.. Davison's response. in part
follows:
Pride of All Americans.
1T has been the privilege of the
American Red Cross to have in these
great world events a share in which
7 believe practically every loyal
American takes an honest pride. Be
cause it is A voluntary organization,
the Red Cross has mobility and free
dom of action which enables it to
operate with greater speed than is
possible for governments and armies
with their necessarily more ponderous
machinery. Therefore. the American
Red Cross was able to precede the
American armies to France In an
ticipation OF their arrival, with an
lean people WAS enlisted with the
heart of France in this great cause,
an assurance which | hope has been
of some degree OF benefit to France
and her valiant people.

Array of Hope
for ThoSeWith
Rheumatism

igence, you want more than mere
relief You want to break the
shackles Of disease that has you
so firmly within Its power. You
want a treatment that not only re-
lieves the pains, but that stops them
forever, by reaching their source.
and removing their cause.
Experience has proven that
great majority Of cases Of Rheu-
mshsm are caused by a disordered
condition OF the blood. Millions
upon millions Of tiny little disease
germs multiply rapidly. and spread
throughout the circulation. setting
up their attacks Of pain al some
susceptible part Of the body. or
course the blood cannot be reached
by local applications, which ex-
plains why Rheumatism Is never
cured by liniments and lotions.
But those whose blood is infest-
ed with the germs of Rheumatism
should be delighted to know that in
the midst Of all their suffering there
is bright ray of hope. S. S. S, the
grand old purely vegetable blood
remedy, promptly punhes the
blood, and cleanses It of all Impu~r
tiles and disease germs. and in thfN
way makes it impossible for the
germs Of Rheumatism to remain. A
full course of this remedy will prove
to you its great efficacy, as 1t has IN
numerous cases which have been re-
ported to US by grateful patients.
