German officers probably loafed and

things this piano. Our boys wanted
music. They hadn't had any but the
whistlinE of shells for a long time. SO
we decided to take the piano back of
the lines.
THAT was IL job all right. Forty of
us tried to hoist that piano up. but the
stairway was too narrow. The Ger

they placed the concrete cover on the

did. At night with but a few shells

LEMON DROPS AND
THE ARMY
By Harvey O'Higgins


Public Information.
They are a small thing in them
selves-lemon drops-but in the
manner Of their handling by our War
Department they are indicative of
much larger matters.
When our draft armies first came
into training, it was found that the
lemon drop was a favorite candy
among the men. 1t was found also
that most of the commercial leon
drops were made Of glucose, favored
not with the fruit but with an acid
imitation. The military authorities
obtained samples of lemon drops
from practically all the candy makers
in the country, analysed these, chose
the best one, obtained the formula
for its manufacture, and distributed
orders for a supply of lemon drops
to be made according to the accepted
recipe.
Consequently, the soldiers are now
being supplied with a lemon drop
that is made of pure granulated sug-
ar and favored with an emulsion
from the rind of the lemon. This
CONNECTION ''has the thirst-quenching
quality Of good lemonade" And it
is being used by the soldiers at the
rate of two hundred thousand pounds
a month.
The country's supply of soluble
coffee has been taken over for the
use Of the men in the trenches. Ex-
periments have been conducted in
order to obtain on especially good
quality of coffee, one that can be put |
up in stick form, like chewing gum,
in waterproof wrappers, and one
that is easily dissolved in cold water
So that the soldiers in exposed posts
may have their cup of coffee without
lighting fire that might attract the
attention of the enemy. So much Of
The coffee is now called for by the
army that the supply is not equal to
he demand, and new companies are
'eing formed for its manufacture.
A new shoe is being issued to the
men that is superior in construc-
ion and quality to any shoe produced
commercially in this country hither-
O." 1t has three heavy outer soles
ut from the best portion Of the 8
lide. The leather of the uppers is I

borough way than ordinarily. 1t i

instead being stitched, it is "metal-
lc fastened" The soldiers are us-fr
ng up shoes at the rate of three mil
ion pairs month and it has become
ecessary to restrict the sale of sole v
Gather for civilian use. \
For the first time in the history of t
he army, razors are being issued 2
the trops. They are safety fazors, S
nd the new blades are furnished os b
hey are needed. The army has a
earned by experience that a clean d
have and good appearance greatly s
1stain the morale of the men. n
If you find it impossible to buy il
'luble coffee, thick-soled shoes, or
our accustomed safety-razor blades, r,
is because the army needs them. Il
hese are little things, But as the d.
it has said: Perfection is an af- 81
ir Of little things, yet perfection Of
not a little thing" The showing -
hich our troops have made in France j.
largely due to that efficient fore-l
yht OF the military authorities,
hich has not overlooked even the
mon drop as an aid to victory.
